Comment:

He's a good professor, but takes points away every time you miss class. He assigns you to visit a art museum and write about it. 2 exams, open note, so write down everything he says and don't miss class! he does not post lectures. Every class is pure lecture so really easy class overall.

Comment:

This is an easy A class. As long as you show up & write down what he says about the images he presents, youll pass the midterm & final. Theres 1 midterm, 1 final, & 1 essay. Tests are open note & you just describe the image he gives you, again, write down exactly what he said. Easy class, but extremely boring. I always almost fell asleep.

Dr. Levine is awesome! Easy A if you show up and take good notes, visit the websites for the works of art. Exams are open note. For the museum paper project just follow instructions and you will do fine. 7 absences is an automatic "F". Drink some caffeine before you go to his class.

Comment:

Dr. Levine gives great lectures. He will make you show for class and do a museum trip, which was fun going with other students. This class is for nonart majors, but you will learn about some amazing pieces of art and be able to know a bit about them. The tests are open note so make sure you have great notes and you will do great.

His class was super easy, all you have to do is show up and take notes. As long as you just write down, word for word, everything he says you're guaranteed to get a good grade. Personally, I wasn't very impressed with the course or its material, but it was still a decent class.

You can tell that he really cares about his students and does everything in his power to make sure that everyone gets an A. He is super knowledgeable and makes the lectures really interesting and fun. TAKE GOOD NOTES. He lets you use all your notes for the midterm and final! Dont miss class though. There's no textbook, all lectures.

Pretty easy class, make sure to take lots of notes while he's describing the paintings so that you have plenty to write for your own descriptions on the tests. Tests are open note so no reason to fail! Only 2 tests and 1 essay to write, for the essay a museum visit is required but on your own time. Enjoyed the class!

Prof. Levine is great! He lectures all of class, but it's only 45 to 50 mins. He lets you use notes on the test. So use them. Just no phones. He's a bit strict on cell phone use. Two tests ,midterm and final and a report. He asks for 3 to 4 pages. It's a great class, I wish he taught higher levels, would definitely take him again!

Comment:

One of the best teachers I've ever had. Even if you don't like art you will appreciate the history and the people who made it great by the end of the class. Very lecture heavy and requires note taking. It is a very engaging class and it makes you hungry for more information. Something not a lot of professors can do.

Teaches you how to observe, to look closely and truly understand the works of art. 7 Absences equal a fail but the class is straight to the point. Take notes, bring notes to open book tests and pass.

Dr. Levine lectures on art appreciation and history. I loved the class and really enjoyed the material. He will not tolerate absences, or sleeping through class, no cell phones, so be prepared to take notes. It is worth it too because the mid term and final are both open notes, and it will be the easiest A you can earn in your lifetime!

This class is honestly the easiest class ever, only a midterm and a final and they are both open note, just show up to class cause if you get 7 absences then you'll get dropped, when you do show up to class take notes because you really need them for the midterm or final, easiest A in the world

Dr. Levine is AMAZING! Attendance is mandatory. After 7 absences he gives you an "F" for the course, so make sure you show up! No homework or textbook are required. He only gives midterm, final, and one paper due towards the end of the semester. Make sure to take good notes on his lectures! All exams are open notesbook. Good luck!

The class is based off attendance and how well you listen and take notes. Easy A if you pay attention and go to the websites he provides. There is only a Midterm, a paper, and the final.

He is an AMAZING teacher! Easy class, easy A. You don't need a text book, all his lectures are done through power point,as long as you attend every class session and take notes, you'll get an A. there is a midterm, a final, and a 10 pages paper due at the end of the semester (you have the whole semester to work on it), no other HW or assignments.

do not take this class. Its super boring. attendance is required and he talks about the same stuff over and over. The tests are open notes but grades them very hard. No computers are allowed at all. I regret taking this class with him.

Comment:

No texting allowed, no big deal. All tests are open note but are graded to ridiculous standard. I got the high in the class on the midterm: 87%. Not very clear about expectations at all. At the time of this writing, his 4.3 in easiness is wrong. He takes an easy subject and makes it hard because he is not clear on grading criteria.
