Winter 2022 - TAKE THIS CLASS! I loved this class as it was fun, engaging, and overall a great time to relax. This class was really easy and all you have to do is complete some weekly assignments, which would be doable as long as it complete the work on time. Dr. Friedman and Dr. Gere are wonderful professors and they are the sweetest. Highly recommend!!

Spring 2021 - Very easy class. Textbook was only used in the first week, though, so I would say it probably isn't even necessary to buy it. David Gere is an amazing presenter though. Very kind, encouraging, and passionate about the impact of the arts. Some of the activities we do in class will take you out of your comfort zone. However, along with prof. Meryl Friedman, David created such a welcoming environment where we all felt comfortable putting ourselves out there. Grade relies entirely on participation, weekly creative assignments, weekly blog posts, submission of in-class assignments, and one group project at the end of the quarter. I'd say all the assignments are very easy, just make sure to reflect that you actually put effort into your work.

Professor Winter was a nice enough guy, even if he was totally full of himself, but this class was a disaster. Like people have said, despite what he claims there is definite favoritism for the athletes. Not only do they get their own review sessions, where it is rumored that they get all the answers, there have been times both explicitly and implicitly that extra credit opportunities have been presented only to athletes. The class itself was mostly entertaining, and the midterm was easy. However, the final turned out to be pretty hard. The real pain is that you have no idea what to study for. He gives no study guides and there is no textbook and most classes tend to consist of a string of bullshit with no uniting theme. I still don't know my grade so I can't say if it is an "easy A" but it is definitely a lot easier if you are an athlete. I would avoid this class if you can just because of the unpredictability of the tests and obvious favoritism.
