ART 100
Quality 5/5Difficulty 2/5
Professor Mauk is awesome. I am in Art 100 online and the class is super interesting and fairly easy (and I am not artistic at all). There are no tests or quizzes and each week you have 2-3 short writing assignments and 1 actual art project. Not a ton of work, especially if you space it out over the week. Definitely recommend this class!

Maybe I'm used to more work in my other classes, but this course was pretty easy. I learned a lot about art that I didn't understand, which is why I took it.

Online course, good lecturer. A lot of work. Have to write 400-word paper every week in addition to the creative assignments.

The only reason I say lots of homework is because sometimes 4 art assignments was a lot for be to add into my workload in a week, but it was an easy A. If you do every assignment and give at least some effort you will get an A. He wants to see you try and he does his best to make it fun.

Online class. Pretty easy as long as you actually put a little effort into the assignments. Not a ton of interaction with Mauk unless you reach for it, but I'm decent at art and haven't needed help. He's clear and concise, and if you follow the instructions you get all the points. Easy 3 credits if you're taking pretty intensive courses in person.
