First, I would NOT recommend this class to any STEM majors who are entirely unfamiliar with art history. It's an art history class! And if you don't have a background in it, you will struggle.
That being said, I loved this class as an art history major. Wilson is a great teacher and explains everything very well. The essays were challenging, but they forced me to learn a lot and grow in my writing. The research essay was also tricky, yet I enjoyed it a lot because we could pick what we wrote about. Please make sure you choose something you're REALLY interested in because you will be spending a long time with it.
Overall, this is a great lower-division class for art, art history, or history majors. It's immensely interesting and you will learn a lot!
