She has a strong accent. Her class is not easy A. Maybe, you can get easy B or C. She makes you work with groups all the time. If you don't have any luck on the member, then you might have hard time. The points you get for group project worth same as the points for mid term. Your group members also evaluate your work.

The class content will make you weary after a 10-hour-power-sleep! For an art history class, she makes the midterm/final ridiculously difficult. Ms. Karmi is a new teacher, and it's easy to figure that out after a week of attending lectures - her english is very weak and she grades her students based on how she likes them - seriously.

I was on the fence about her at first. She was so outgoing and liked to put students on the spot. But as the quarter went on she grew on me. 1)Because she is so knowledgeable about art history and is really interested in what students have to say 2)She's pretty funny and friendly.

Reading the comments about her being difficult is ridiculous. She doesn't favor anyone. As long as you come to class & do the group work & study for at least a little bit w/ her powerpoint presentations you should be able to pass.

Not only a relaxing and calm environment, but a teacher that is very helpful always. Each class consists of a presentation she perfunctorily renders, in which we, as students, take notes and gather as much information and knowledge as possible. Three midterms and a final, all-in-all, the tests are fair. No homework, with exception to a museum trip.

She's very energetic and passionate about arts. If you're taking this class, you'll have to pay lots of attention in classes. Beware of active discussions and making video summaries. She doesn't like it if you talked while she's teaching. She is very organized, every presentations will be on her website. Exams are based on what she taught.

Really sweet teacher. It is a pretty easy class and I totally recommend taking it during the summer. We did use the textbook but most people found it online or borrowed a neighbors. overall it is a really easy class.

This class wasn't too hard, you don't really need to take notes because her presentations are online, she's a pretty easy going professor. You will need to go to visit a museum and write a short paper on it, but its not too bad. I couldn't stand taking short video notes, but overall a doable class.

I absolutely enjoyed Prof. Karmi's classes. She is very passionate at teaching and her class is full of fun and energy. She really knows how to grab your attention. If you don't skip classes, you'll get extra points and do well in exams.

Despite the fact that she keeps saying, Ahhhh and you know, the course wasnt too hard. She provide term lists for the exams, just study those and youll be fine. Attendance is mandatory, no homework, she gives out extra credit, in class discussion (almost every class), one term paper and thats it.

I like her a lot and enjoy her teaching. She is a nice person with a good sense of humor. Her class is always fun and enjoyable. She is knowledgeable and passionate about teaching. The class discussion is interesting and everyone gets the chance to talk. Exams are not hard. I've taken three of her classes, and love them all. She's great!

The lectures seemed to breeze by with how interesting they were. She would tell personal stories relating to the subjects. Be prepared to collaborate with classmates every day. Notes were optional, but I found the slides were very helpful when studying for the class. Make sure not to procrastinate or wait till last minute on your museum project.

I took her 2 quarters in a row and really enjoyed her class. She's quirky and I love her explanations of the history behind the artwork and why the artist created what they did (which is usually quite scandalous! lol). One student commented on her accent and honestly she's perfectly understandable and that's quite rude and irrelevant in my opinion.

I took Professor Yael Karmi for art this quarter. Her class had a lot of online assignments and summaries, and long weekly lectures. Despite these factors, it was still a fun and great experience being in her class since the content was very interesting. She gave a lot of extra credit too, which really helped boost up my grade. Best art teacher!

The class was VERY EASY, also I missed my finals due to personal reasons and she understood and let me take it at a different time. She is very understanding and the class is the easiest A you can get. The homework is all online and the discussions are easy enough for a 1st grader to get an A on.

Maybe opened the textbook once for picture but not necessary. Weekly vocab (mostly found in slides the rest on google) and discussion post. One group project (graded individually) short zoom presentation on a building on her list. You can choose or they place you in a group. Lost 1 point for having too much on slides. Easy midterm and final.

Unless you're genuinely interested in the subject, I would not recommend at all. Too much work for an elective and incredibly boring topics.

She's overall a great professor. Her class is mostly graded off of weekly discussions and assignments relating to the weekly reading. I opened the textbook maybe like 5 times throughout the quarter. The final and midterm are also very straightforward. Very easy A.

Her lectures are very informative as such, be sure to pay attention, since they contain the same information for the midterm and final. She doesn't go over the whole book as there isn't enough time, so be keen when reading the chapters.There are weekly group assignments and reading questions due so if you can take the class with friends.

All her assignments were just discussions that you'd form with a group. Attendance is "mandatory" to create a group but I just did my work with my friends so I never went to class except for when we had to present the final which was just a group slide presentation. Super easy class but sometimes the homework would be time consuming.

1 midterm, 1 final. Every week there's reading assignments and group discussions, which don't take very long, but you have to respond to your groupmates. Reading assignments are questions based off the reading in the textbook, and the # of questions depend on how well you understand the concepts. Overall not that hard of a class

Took her for Art 1A. Super easy class (asynchronous). Test every week, but they are graded on completion. You will get an A as long as you complete the test. Every week you have to post some sort of weekly response. She emails back pretty quickly if you have any questions, and is very understanding. Overall Good choice. 1 midterm and 1 final.

One discussion post and a chapter reading assignment due each week. The ch reading assignment was graded based off of completion, but it wasn't difficult either. You have to reply to two students' discussion post. One midterm and one final that were pretty much the same format. Both were easy. Highly recommend this class if you want an easy "A."

The lectures are interesting but can get a little boring at times. Each week you work with a group on an in class assignment and turn it in at the end. Makes you take a photo of your group to submit online for attendance. 1 MC exam online and 1 MC final in person. 1 group presentation. EC available if you go to a museum.

The class is based on an online book about art, which was quite boring in my opinion. 1 assignment (done on the book website) and 1 discussion per week. Reading is required for the assignments but you don't need to read since answers can be found online. 1 midterm and 1 final (both similar to the assignments every week).
