His lectures are incredibly boring and long; its almost impossible to stay awake, even though the subject matter is really interesting. He gave us no idea whatsoever what was going to be on tests, and no direction at all on the essay, but he ended up grading both the essays and tests really easy, but I spent a lot of time stressing before I found out my grade. Easy overall, but only because he curves. I got a D- on the test, but he curved it up to an A-.

Winter 2022 - i hated this class because of the professor. the content and workload was fine and manageable, but the prof was so awful. she could never fit all the content into the THREE HOUR LONG LECTURE. THREE HOURS WAS NOT ENOUGH FOR HER? everything was rushed and went over the time limit. she was not clear about anything and struggled to clarify questions. she was very eager to go back in person that she split the 3 hour long lecture into 2 classes each 1.5 hour lectures because the room was not big enough for everyone to go as one lecture. i just did not enjoy the class at all because of her. my ta was really nice and understanding though. we basically had to write discussion posts every week on the readings and write a couple papers for the midterm and final on artists and artwork and their impact. easy class, bad prof. avoid this as a ge if you can
