Wish I would have dropped this class after the first week. The class is extremely easy until the midterm and final. I regret taking this as my art class in college definitely. Boring and not helpful is how I would describe this teacher.

DO NOT BUY THE BOOK, you'll never open it. I somehow aced all the projects and midterm/final and ended up with an A-... so beware. You sit and listen to her talk for hours and its awful, bring food and things to do while she lectures, you present every art project for like 15 seconds, and she's pretty easy on the grading.

Comment:
She is really nice and grades projects really easily. She can be unclear at times but follow the syllabus and ask her for help then you're all set. It seems like there is a lot of presenting but they are really laid back and you're up there for usually 30 seconds. There are 2 tests, the midterm and final, they are pretty hard so study!

Not exactly clear on the assignments and due dates. Really disorganized. Gets really moody over rediculous reasons. I wouldn't call this class art if she drones on over random topics not even related to visual arts.

Go to class, pay attention, and do the projects. She'll mark you off for silly grammar on her finals but she warns you ahead of time. She's sweet and is passionate about ART. Don't let anyone talk you out of taking this class.

This class is easy, but can seem tricky because on exams, you have to make sure you write the titles of artworks as precisely as possible, or you'll get marked down for not capitalizing a word or writing "the" whatever the name of it is. Otherwise, Ms. Rachford is very easy-going and encouraging, I enjoyed her class.

Comment:
projects are graded on effort, i got a's on all yet still got a B+ in the class! don't even know how that is possible. VERY unclear on when things are due and what exactly is due. really disliked how disorganized she was. on midterm and final marked off because i didn't put articles like "the" in front of the paintings name.

eh, she's alright. Easy projects and grades on effort not quality. unclear on when assignments are due. midterm and final memorizing slides. attendance mandatory. lectures straight from the book which is boring. Waste of time, but pretty simple class

VERY nice teacher. Most of the time she thinks people are laughing with her, we're actually laughing at her. On the first day of class I had tears I laughed so much (laughing at her). I did have a lot of fun and as you could expect with art, the projects were time consuming. I had lots of fun

Funny prof! We didn't really get to learn anything that most students didn't already know - I would have liked to try more challenging things. Too many students in the class. Don't buy the book - borrow or look up the information.

very easy compared to the other art teachers but dont be surprised if she messes up with your grade and has no calculations to justify it.

This was an extremely easy class. She's kind of loopy, but interesting. She told us exactly what would be on tests before we took them. Don't buy the book though, you wont need it.

Very easy class, and pretty fun too; just remember to take notes, even when it seems like you don't have too. The tests are long, but if you study a little, VERY easy.

She never helps us at all in art class! She doesn't teach us new techniques, or offer any suggestions or help. She wants to get paid for making clay pots and talking about her obsession with race cars. It's more like arts & crafts time, than art class.

Is she really the prof? 'Cause she's never there. And what is up with Tom (her husband) and his short shorts. Weird!

She's a total hippy and her brain is fryed. She goes off on tangents all the time in class. She has total spaz-attacks in class and gets moody.
