Reviews of professor Roy Sonnema

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Love this guy, he is very nice and clearly loves the subject he's teaching. He gets very excited about what he's showing you and therefore the class is more fun. Definitely pay attention, make sure you know the vocab. It helps if you actually like art history but if not the assignments are pretty straight forward. It was a good class to take online

Roy is a nice teacher however, I'm not an art major nor do I have any interest in art. I took the class for a diversity credit. His lectures are VERY long, and quite boring in my opinion. He loves what he does (you can tell) and that's nice, but I have no interest in Islamic art. I'm surprised I stuck with the class. 2 and a half hour classes. Ugh.

Professor Sonnema is a competent teacher. His lectures were powerpoints with a small explanation of the art depicted. I had 5 tests and 2 essay assignments that had more points. There was a lecture with a few chapters of reading every week, and there was a test every other week. I liked the different art that I was able to look at and appreciate.

this class was fairly easy. the assignments are 3 essays and some quizzes. he does assign readings but I personally never did them and was still successful in all coursework. this class is lecture heavy. taking notes on slides and lecture will help you succeed in quizzes and essays.

Roy is clearly very passionate about Art History. His lectures are very dense, but he is open for dialogue and can answer questions! ASK QUESTIONS! It helps keep the class interesting and helps you better understand the information. The homework is straightforward. The only thing is the lectures are hella long and it can be tough to stay alert.

4 tests, no final, 2 papers. Great Professor! Although attendance is not required, I would advise going because he tells you what is important. Also, all lectures posted online via PowerPoint. I would say this is an easy A class but I did use flash cards to help study terms!!
