She is fun and her sense of humor makes the lectures enjoyable. There is one short paper and 4 multiple quiz tests, which are dead on with the fill-in-the blank review she gives out. Just show up to class, read the book, do the reviews, and there is no way you couldn't pass with flying colors. If you have to take intro to art, take her class!!

Faseler was an ok professor, she is understanding and her lectures were pretty good. She has a way of keeping your attention (on your good days) because she is so entertaining with how she presents material. I will say that her class is way too extra for a required class. She just expects a lot from us and its annoying because its just art

Faseler is a great prof. Easy class. The only thing is I had a 9:30 am class and she turns off the light and uses powerpoint so I got really sleepy. She does not do extra credit at all. She is a really good storyteller and makes it interesting. I never use the book except to fill in the blank study guide. The study guide is the test, memorize it!
