Reviews of professor Meredith Goldsmith

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I am currently in her class and it does not feel like I am in art. It feels like I am taking an English class. Almost every other week we having to submit short essay. In a addition to those short essays we do book readings and a quizzes and a research paper at the end. She is very unorganized she says she will Post things one day and does not.

Doctor Goldsmith is an amazing professor, if you have never took an art history or humanities course it may be difficult for you at first but if you try your best and ask questions she will definitely you. There is normally a lot of reading in art history and the humanities but if you want to learn about the world then make sure to read.

Honestly, some of the art classes don't mean you're going to do art (drawing, painting, etc.). It's mostly focusing on art and having discussions. It's not that bad, to be honest. If you do all the work in her class you should be able to earn a passing grade. If I had to decide to take her again, I wouldn't mind doing so.

I took Black Images in Popular Culture. She is a good professor but the amount of reading she gives out is crazy. 20+ pages on reading per week/two weeks, you have to put in the effort to read and analyze it. Honestly felt like an English critical thinking class worth 4 units instead of an art class.

It feels like I am taking an English class. we have to submit a short and long essay every week and her grading is so bad and she doesn't reply to emails at all.

Goldsmith is a good professor. If she sees you are trying and putting in the effort she will pass you. Very organized in lectures and gives intersting ones at times. Isnt that tough of a grader. You need to spend quite a bit of time to doing the work outside of class especially the reading. We went on a trip to a museum which was really cool.

This was definitely an informative class, and her forgets not all of her students are art majors. This is a first art class that most of us who have no idea what art is or how to describe art are taking.

I did enjoy this class when class would get cancelled just because her lectures are really boring. She goes on and on about a topic and it sounds more like she's rambling and is confused about what she is talking about. It its very hard to understand what she is trying to teach. Her whole entire lecture is scattered and very unorganized.
