Winter 2016 - This class was okay. His lectures were not very interesting and I found he rambled a lot about the art itself when the exams were not analysis-based. There are a lot of readings for this class, think long textbook style and an entire book (which I didn't think was needed). The exams are weird in that they're multiple choice, which never occurs in art history exams. For the midterm, one question might ask to select all the answers that are correct (which might be one or might be four of the choices). He changes it slightly for the final, not too many of those questions. I think the biggest thing for the final is know your architecture and review all the small details! I'm selling all my textbooks, which have been highlighted (I find this helpful, though I don't know if you do) I'm graduating this June 2016, so if you're interested email me at ************* and we can meet on campus before I leave. The large textbooks will be $15 and the two smaller ones will be $5.
