Comment:
To me, this class was both boring and confusing. The grading was just just as confusing as the due dates. Lecture videos were reused from last semester and were long and time consuming but had to listen since it had questions throughout. Audio in lectures were not good. Says theres no due date for some assignments but ends up giving zeros.

Comment:
Super long lectures that are divided into parts. If you are interested in Art History the class may be for you. She is passionate about art history but can give out too much boring information. Canvas is set up where you can only do work when you finish a requirement. All of her due dates were for a previous semester and was extremely confusing.

Comment:
Dr. J is amazing. I love her lectures. She is hilarious and very smart. She knows so much about art and makes everything very easy to understand. As long as you watch her lectures and take notes, you can get an A. If I didn't have personal problems that made me miss assignments, I would have earned an A. Great, fun class!

Comment:
Don't take this class unless you like long 10-40 minute video lectures divided into 5 parts. The upside was she was very passionate about art, and kinda funny I guess but this course wasn't for me. Lots of homework also randomly assigned on days, not organized.

Comment:
She gives way too much work: so many essays, quizzes, long lectures. I needed this class to graduate. I put more effort into this than an actual science class. If this is a general ed class, it shouldn't require this much work. Lots of knowledge and very into her work.

Comment:
It's a pretty easy class. All you have to do is watch lectures, take notes on them, and take quick tests. If you take notes, it's almost impossible to fail. The lectures can be long-winded, but I usually just speed it up. She'll also understand if you have a technical issue, which some professors are unsympathetic.

Comment:
Great teacher who makes lectures interesting with witty feedback and fun subject matter. Lectures are usually 1-2 hours long with lots of notes but they still correlate with quizzes and tests. Lots of sexual topics however, and may make some uncomfortable. Only complaint is going through 2 hours of lectures for only a 4 question quiz after.

Comment:
This professor was NOT the greatest especially online. The amount of lectures she gave were insane, we were not allowed to skip through parts of the videos because points would be taken off, we had to print countless amounts of papers to get proper notes, the tests were rarely understandable, and she would take forever to respond to emails.

Comment:
this teacher is a snoozefest, that's all there is to say. She is the most boring teacher I have ever had, she isn't necessarily a bad teacher but trust me you should watch her lectures in 1.5 speed. The class is mainly videos that span from 5min to 50min and make you fall asleep, take this class for credit only you wont retain any of this info.

Easy class to get an A in if you complete all the assignments and stay on top of projects and midterms/finals. Midterm was one multiple choice, 2 essays, a painting description. Final was 2 matching multiple choice tests and an essay. Easy and interesting material, just a lot of workload to be expected.

Comment:
This class wasn't necessarily difficult, but there were a lot of videos to watch and weekly homework on quizzes. For an art class, be prepared to do a lot of writing. The research project sneaks up on you and, due to the way the calendar displays due dates, you don't really see it on your calendar until it's almost due. Tip: Watch videos on 1.5x.

I have an A & Im saying DO NOT take this class. Unorganized & an unreasonable workload. I have 5+ family members suffering from COVID & 1 that has been in the hospital for over a week now, yet my main concern right now is supposed to be a final project, final exam, final essay, & final discussion all due in the same week. No consideration at all.

Look, whoever gave this professor a good review must have had a COMPLETELY different experience. Let me let you guys know, she is not understanding at all.I am not exaggerating in 1 week we had 30 assignments: various videos that you can't skip 2-51 mins., many quizzes,tests, and a discussion. Grades aren't tallied till the end. Just don't take it.

Comment:
Expect to be assigned multiple quizzes, tests, assignments due the same day w/ hours worth of unclear lecture videos that will more than likely be assigned only a couple days ahead of the due date. High stress class especially in the middle of a pandemic/political crisis, would not recommend if you want to maintain any sanity you might have left.

Dr. Barrows made the class interesting with her lectures. You won't find a more caring professor. I was having difficulties at one time and she was the one to reach out to me to see if she could help. She went way above and beyond what she needed to do for me, and I really can't thank her enough.

my first college class ever. try to avoid if possible. Midterm, Final, and research paper. So much material. Text specific questions. tests are all from memory. electronics are allowed in class. If you dont pay attention to the lecture or take the time to REALLY study you wont pass. You can get tickets to exchange for extra credit but not much.
