Student experience

the class

Meg Mitchell teaches ART 107 with mixed results; while some find her helpful and the class easy, others criticize her unclear instruction and harsh critiques. Success often depends on prior software knowledge and independent study.

Recent recorded grades — Spring 2025: 3.85 GPA, 94.2% A/AB (n=155 letter grades); Fall 2025: 3.82 GPA, 95.1% A/AB (n=122 letter grades); Spring 2026: 3.74 GPA, 85.6% A/AB (n=139 letter grades).

difficulty & workload

Students must familiarize themselves with Adobe programs and SketchUp before class, as lectures often skip basics. The workload involves difficult platforms and significant outside tutorial reading, which some find overwhelming.

Recent reviews describe the class as easy with generous TA grading and easy exams. However, lectures are considered meaningless, and one student criticized the encouragement of AI use in an art discipline.

About this estimate

The course’s semester-average GPA, not an individual student’s grade. The center uses 5 same-season terms, weighted toward recent results.

The range uses the finite-sample 80th-percentile rank of absolute errors from earlier same-season forecasts. Each forecast uses only records from earlier terms. At least four forecasts are required; bounds are rounded outward and limited to 0–4. This is an empirical estimate: changing instructors or grading policies can reduce its coverage.

About this comparison

1283 courses over the same term, each with at least 30 recorded letter grades. Cross-listed courses count once. GPA is not a measure of difficulty or teaching quality. The typical course is the median by recorded grade count; tied values are not counted as lower. Grade counts describe course scale, not unique students or typical section size.

Descriptions compare GPA with this group’s average: at least 0.20 higher or lower; otherwise close to average. Section size uses median recorded enrollment: small up to 30, mid-sized 31–99, large 100+. Lectures and discussion/lab sections are described separately.
