The weekly in-class quiz covers the previous lecture but isn't too specific. As long as you show up to lectures and are paying attention, you're guaranteed an A. She lets you bring in a one page study guide to the exams and even gives you some of the questions beforehand so you can prep your answers. You can tell she's passionate about the class.

I took this professor for my vapa at UT Austin. I expected this class to be on the easy side, but the class took up much of my time studying for my major specific classes, which is why I had to drop.

Took for my art credit, but it was way more work than I expected. Writing and reading assignments per unit, which take deep thinking and lots of time to complete. If you love art, Prof. Smith is so helpful, understanding, and knowledgeable about her class. She really knows her stuff. I am just non artistic, so this class really stressed me out!

I loved this class! The material was really easy and very similar to Prof Trepanier if you took her for 2050. The homeworks and exams were very straightforward and they were open notes/book. She gave an extra credit assignment and I only did half of it, but she still gave me all the points for it.

Prof Smith was very straight forward. There wasnt much homework and 2 or 3 exams. It was all really easy material and her class is outlined similar to Trepanier if you had her for 2050. She will take basically any excuse for a makeup, I slept through an exam and she still let me take it

This class was very interesting but requires an open-mind! There is a lot of writing, however there are no essays, just writing prompts and questions to answer weekly. It can be a lot, but it's not too hard to manage! There are about 3-4 readings a week ranging from about two-15 pages. Attendance is not mandatory, which was helpful!

This is an easy A if you show up most of the time. There are three exams, one easy project and a few assignments. I learned more in this class than some harder ones and a lot of it was actually interesting. Plus, shes really lax and can be funny sometimes.
