Reviews of professor Karen Schwenkmeyer

If you get to choose which GEs you want. Don't choose her because I took this class thinking it would be my easiest class. But it gave me the most stress because of too much assignments. I thought it would be fun but it is boring. It isn't really a hard class it's just so demanding because you have to do like a bunch of assignments each week.

I took this class as a requirement. I thought it was fairly easy. She gives a lot of work but as long as you stay on top of it and do not procrastinate you should be good. Her quizzes are open note so make sure when watching the lectures, to take good notes and pay attention. She gives great feedback and make sure to turn assignments in on time!

This was a fun class. It really changed my idea of art and photography. There were written exercises, online quizzes, and a photo project. Some group work and great discussions. Grading was easy. Just do the work and show up. You won't regret it.

So. Much. Homework. You think your math classes are giving you a lot of homework? Good luck with this class. I don't know why this class has more homework than all my three other classes combined. I doubt anyone is taking this other than to get credit for a GE.

This was an amazing class. I didn't expect to like it as much as I did. It's pretty easy. All the assignments are straight forward. The photo activities are fun and there are writing assignments as well. It's a good class to take online and it's more engaging as you go along.

This is a really amazing class that took me by surprise. It was super fun and interesting. Although it's online, she is really there with you throughout the whole time. She is always quick to reply to any questions and does a great job on explaining everything for the assignments. The class is divided into small groups.

Somewhat easy class IF YOU HAVE THE TIME. A lot of homework and have to take a lot of notes for lectures. Would not recommend winter/summer

I was afraid about taking a fully online class, but the professor makes it easy. You can reach out to her and she's really helpful. It was an amazing class. I learned about  a lot of photographers. The photo assignments and small groups were fun. It was a GE requirement and I learned more than I thought I would.

I'm really sad this class is over. She's an amazing professor, extremely helpful and caring. It was really enjoyable and I had a lot of fun. I learned so much about photography. Take this class if you want to learn!

A LOT OF HOMEWORK, MAKES YOU PROCRASTINATE

This is more of a class about the history of photography. There are way more writing assignments than photography assignments.
