Reviews of professor Robin Dearing

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
For an art major, this would be a good class. But for as someone who just took this for graduation requirement it is difficult. I had minimal art knowledge, so her tests are very difficult and required a large amount of memorization to pass. She said my midterm essay had "too much information" in the introduction, and I got graded down for such.

Nice professor who responds promptly. I am taking her summer class. Lots of lessons but only one hw assignment a week, along with a midterm, final, and research paper. My only complaint is that her lecture videos are copied right off of Khan academy and probably other websites. If you don't want to watch her lessons, just go on khan academy.

The online lectures take a really long time to get through if you are taking notes, but they are very informational and I didn't even really need to look at my notes for the test. She is available and prompt when emailed and is SOO helpful when you are confused or have questions. Be prepared to take a lot of your time with the class, but I LOVE HER

I wish I'd read the other reviews first before choosing this teacher based on rating. The class content is so disorganized. We watch and read a million videos and articles but the questions she asks aren't covered in the material. Lists works of art we should know and then never mentions it again. Can we just have slides and lectures back please?

There are many class lectures but they are interesting and short. Normal amount of reading assignment w/ a quiz at the end of each week, not hard. Just do the reading, assignments and watch lecture and it's easy to pass. Gives extra credit so easy to get an A if you just do the work. Shes very helpful and easy to talk to, very considerate and kind.
