Reviews of professor Samantha Roth

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
for many students, ART120 is their first real art class. Sam judges your projects like she's teaching at Cal Arts and runs her class like middle school detention hall. All of my classmates made pretty good effort and funny, interesting, personal pieces and half of them failed. I dont even think she likes art tbh.

Samantha Roth is an art teacher at heart. She wants to push you to find new ideas and to be the best you can be. That being said, not everyone taking this class is an art major and I think she does a good job in understanding that. Workload isnt too much but she does like for you to execute a process so that your work can be the best it can be.

Professor Roth was awesome! Her class is for students who take art seriously. Don't expect an easy A. Her class is very routine but also very challenging. Lecture, Reading, sketches, process work, putting together final designs. She makes you think and pushes your abilities. You might surprise yourself with a great design piece.

Wayyyyyyyyyyy too much work for an art class. Took this class to meet needs for graduation & chose art as a nice calming escape class from the other maths and sciences but it turned out being my hardest class. She has no care for your life outside of class. Art class is expected to be priority. She gives endless assignments and is very rude.

Ms Roth is a great teacher for ALL students! She grades fairly, and her critiques are valid and are meant to encourage not demean your work. She appreciates the effort that was put in to your art. Sometimes her assignments may seem redundant, but trust her process. She knows best! She encourages when appropriate, yet keeps pushing you to your goals

A very easy professor to communicate with. I felt very relaxed in her class and she gave great instructions. I misread the instructions a few times but she allowed us to resubmit. Overall she is a very lovely person, 10/10 would recommend

Overall a great professor. I learned a lot and Samantha pushed me to explore my art outside my comfort zone. If you're really there to learn then you shouldn't have a problem. She gives helpful feedback to each individual and shows she is a passionate artist herself. I only wish she taught advanced art so I can take another of her classes.

She is a nice teacher but is very picky on assignments. Lectures are okay. Dont be late and leave class early she deducts points. A couple of quizzes super simple. Your projects have to be critiqued by the whole class and you have to give a little speech. Not that bad though. 5 projects 1 midterm. Fun class if you like Art.
