Reviews of professor Rebecca Arnfeld

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Like literally this prof disappeared after our first midterm. Was super late on grading, and was not assigning anything. I was rlly confused on where the heck she was. & tbh this was one of the more difficult GE classes, her quizzes and exams were confusing and she doesn't do anything to prepare you. Glad I passed with a B.

Boring lectures that we were suggested to take notes on which were said to be in exams, but there was very little information from the lectures to use for the exams. The class was very unorganized since some assignments had different due dates than others and were all over the place. The professor takes a long time to grade assignments.

i'll let other people tell you how great she is; here's how to do well in her class: find the pdf of the textbook online, do the reading, take loose lecture notes, esp. artwork periods, years, artists, & interesting factoids she mentions, esp. how pieces might be compared/contrasted (there are 3 mini essays on this!). 3 exams, & a few tiny quizzes.

Assignments are not graded for a long time. It's hard to know where you stand outside of the auto-graded items.

Recorded lectures are slow. Watch them at 1.5+ speed if you want to stay engaged.

I think the professor cares about the content, but communication is not prioritized.

Her class is mostly graded on 2 midterms and a final which puts a lot of pressure on doing well in them. They are quite complex and she only allows an hour and 20 min online during the same class time. She won't always respond to your emails either. If you are expecting an easy GE class, do not take her.
