ART 100
Quality 5/5Difficulty 1/5
Professor Sheeler is so nice and understanding. The class was set up to have two assignments every week, attendance was mandatory but could skip two classes. The assignments were sometimes repetitive but so easy. Anyone that does not get an A just did not show up or talk to her. She is definitely passionate about what she is teaching.

This class was wonderful! I learn a lot about different styles of art. The instructor worked with the students to make sure the students needs were met. We had lots of fun opportunities to learn outside of the classroom as well! And the class was relatively easy! I would take the class again.

This should be an easy course. She never posts the grade on the canvas until the end of the semester. I finished all my homework on time and try my best to follow the instructions. I also attended all the classes but did not get a good score.

Should be an easy class, too hard of a grader with unrealistic expectations for lowest level art class. Takes weeks to respond to emails and unprofessional. Showed me my grade in person, then submitted it to the registrar as lower than she showed me and now the grade can't be changed. Biggest waste of time and worst decision taking this class.
