ARTHIST 103
Quality 5/5Difficulty 2/5
Professor Bennett gives decent lectures and the content is easy to understand if you pay attention. The class may be difficult if you know literally nothing about art but if you know basic concepts such as composition its pretty easy and interesting. Exams aren't cumulative and are easy if you know what all the images are. I would recommend, goat!

Quality 2/5Difficulty 5/5
Lots of readings and the lectures weren't easy to understand. This is by far not an 100 course but rather a 300-400. I would never recommend this class to anyone. Good luck!
