Comment:

I took her class asynchronous online. For interdis. relations in the arts, you MUST have the textbook!!! Workload was not difficult but quizzes were risky bc theres only 5 questions. Feedback on papers was never very nice and she would say what you did wrong without telling you how to do better. Tests, lectures, and quizzes open the whole week.

Comment:

If you read the lecture slides word for word you should be fine on quizzes. She uploads rubrics but does not really follow them, the whole class lost points on our first paper due to this. She is reachable through email but has been very rude to me in every reply back about questions on grades for papers or quizzes.

This is was not what I was expecting for the class. Signed up for synchronously but was asynch. Not clear grading criteria and what would be on the tests. Notes / what was on the test! It was super confusing and the powerpoints were so messy. Tests were only avaliable on the weekends and I work weekends and it was very hard to coordinate.

I really enjoyed this class. Her lectures are interesting, and she says some funny things. You get credit for attending by writing a couple sentences about a piece of art she puts up. If you take notes in class, the 3 online tests will be easy. You have to write 3 short essays, but they aren't difficult.

Lets just say I was 1 point off from an A in the class and from getting a 4.0 overall and she didnt care hehe grades are a calculation not a negotiation like I get it but 1 POINT!?! Her lectures are quite boring and attendance is based off writing art descriptions that she pulls up in class. The critiques are easy but annoying/pointless.

Lectures are somewhat entertaining. I took this for the Carolina Core hoping it was going to be an easy A and it pretty much was. There are 3 easy online tests and as long as you take good notes in class you should be good. She does not post the slides online so take notes. You do have to go to the museum or something but its not that bad

Lectures are required but boring, and theres a chance you'll get called on in class. Take the class with someone you know if you can, because going to the art museum, a dance or theater performance, and watching a movie are all required outside of class.

Prof. Hewitt basically has mandatory attendance, you have to fill out a notecard every day with your name so she knows if you're there. But, the tests are easy and the 3 critiques do not take long. She spends pretty much the whole time lecturing, but her stories are funny and she's very entertaining. I really liked her & would definitely take again

I would take her again if I could. She is very passionate about her class and although she is lecture heavy she makes them enjoyable. Tests are online and there are few assignments. Attendance does count as a grade.

She is super nice and says some funny things. Very energetic and makes the lectures as interesting as you can with cool stories. There are 3 tests online (no final) and they can be challenging if you don't go to class. Takes attendance every class for points of your grade. There are 3 critic papers you have to do but they are easy to get A

She takes attendance every class with a note card and if you have to leave early for even a crisis count on her calling you out. When I approached her about fixing a mistake she made when grading my critique she said "grades didn't matter back in my time, you'll be okay." All tests are online and easy to look up, do well on those, easy A.

Easy easy class, just make sure to show up. Each class is a lecture with 3 tests throughout the semester. Each test is online and you can use all of your notes, all it is is vocabulary words. Easy A, just be sure to show up or youll fail otherwise (points everytime you show).

The work is so easy. 3 tests and they are all online, and the critiques are virtually impossible to fail. You get a point every time you go to class, though, so make sure you show up! Lectures are boring, but she tries to spice things up. Easy A, and you might learn a few interesting things along the way!

Other than one mandatory writing assignment, the class is all based on exam grades. I took her fall 2017, and every exam was online, even the final. However, I heard she didn't do this for earlier semesters. She offers ample opportunity for extra credit, but you honestly won't need it if you have online exams. Attendance is mandatory.

Almost every day there are class responses, so be sure to go to class. There are three critiques over the semester along with a few tests. She's really nice and her lectures cover everything you need to know for the tests, which are multiple choice and based on recognition and basic definitions.

HW isn't really graded, she just gives you a check if you do it. She gets offended if you leave class early and sometimes won't pass the role bc of people leaving early but she is extremely passionate and tries to make the lectures fun/interesting (some are) but sometimes I can't sit through it all & want to spend my time elsewhere. Not a bad class

Mrs. Hewitt was an easy class. Her lectures include a lot of definitions and thats all you need for the test. I broke the terms into days to be able to remember all of them to successfully take the test. Have to attend three outside of class events in order to write 2 page papers on them. Easy grade. Easy class. Easy teacher. Take her for AIU.
