Wonderful caring professor. It is art history, so prepare to study and memorize. Make your cards ASAP! I learned a lot and had fun doing it. You will get a lot out of this class if you are willing to put in the work. Don't just come to class unprepared and expect an easy A.

There are 4 tests and a project (do the creative project!) The textbook helps reinforce what she is lecturing on, but passing the tests will likely more rely on what she said in class. LOTS of memorization

I don't need a lot words, only a few. Enjoyed this class, loved the lectures, very supportive. If I had to do it all over again, I wouldn't hesitate to do so.

Comment:
I've always been passionate for art & history but the way this professor grades DO NOT represent your knowledge of the material. She has no mercy for mistakes. No late work & no extra credit. You won't pass the test if you miss the lectures. You have to be highly skill taking notes, a lot of the questions in the tests won't be in the book.

Professor shows a real passion for the Arts. With this in mind she will make you work in class, as in there will be a good amount of reading, writing, and definitely studying. Not an easy A, but if you show up to class and take good notes you should be fine. Material itself is not too difficult, you just need to put in the time!

okay so basically what you do in this class is you do a lot of home works and for each hw she grade it out of 3, 5, or 6. She is really strict. she will mark you down for every mistake you make. For example if you miss spell a word she will mark you down. She also expect you to know everything. she want you to write all the details in the HW.

She will mark you off for just about any mistake you make, but she allows for corrections on the homework. You have to do the homework, but it isn't difficult. 3 tests. Do the creative project, not the research paper. I did the research paper and it took hours upon hours. My friend's creative project took him 30 minutes. We received the same grade.

If you are NOT an art major DO NOT take her class. She expects you to know some stuff already just because you are in that field. She also expects everything to be perfect.

Took this class thinking it was gonna be easy but it was the complete opposite. Homework everyday and lectures are long. Make sure you're very specific when it comes to tests, spelling and grammar is important! One big project that includes going to the museum and either doing a hands on project or a report on it.

The work is NOT hard. She gives you literally everything you need to pass the 4 tests. I mean she LITERALLY has you write down everything she wants you to write on the test. The semester length project does take a lot of time but really, this class is an A if you are a good student and will put in a little effort. You will seriously learn a ton.

This is the easiest class i have taken. you can easily get an A on every exam, All you have to do is show up to class. She basically gives you the answers to the tests in her lectures so definitely take notes. She is not the friendliest person but as long as you do your work you will be on her good side. textbook used for hw and classwork

Comment:
Dr. de Koning is very straightforward with her lectures. I cannot stress how much attendance matters. The questions she has on her exams are come right from her lectures, so make sure you organize your notes. If you would like to survive her class, it is necessary that you: MAKE FLASHCARDS! FORM A STUDY GROUP! ASK QUESTIONS! And, Good-luck!

It's an intro to art class, you'd think it'd be easy but it's not. Semester project requires a lot of time, a lot. 4 grades given in the entire class. Better be prepared.

Don't take her class unless you are an art major andor have taken her class before. If you skip more than two classes she will dropfail you. She expects you to have taken her class before so her test guidelines are not clear unless you have.

The best art history teacher I've had! Very clear in her expectations of her students. Work hard, score high! She also offers a great opportunity to either write a research paper or go to a museum and then create something based on the piece you saw. Text isn't really used. Whatever is lectured on will show up on the exam. TAKE HER! You'll love it!

Marion De Koning is a wonderful Art History professor. She is passionate about the subject and gives fantastic lectures. There is a lot to remember, but she makes her expectations very clear. It's not hard to get an A if you put a good amount of effort into the class, but don't plan on skating by.

This is NOT an easy A class. People who aren't interested in art or art history better stay away and take some easier classes for your GE. You're expected to take really good notes in class, and none of the questions on the exams will surprise you because they're exactely related to her lectures. There's no reason to fail if you attend every class.

First off, dont take an Art history class unless you're an art major. If you're doing it for a credit req, skip this one. She is a great teacher, but goodness is she a hard grader. She expects you to regurgitate EXACTLY word for word what she has taught. Ex: "It's a history painting, not historical painting, if you wrote that, zero credit."
