Comment:

I took this class as fall semester 2012 and it was probably one of the hardest 100 level classes at SCSU. The entire class is based on 240 points with each of the three exams worth about 25% of your grade and random in-class assignments given out. DON'T TAKE THIS CLASS IF YOU DON'T HAVE TO

Comment:

I took her online course over the summer.. worst idea ever. You have to practically memorize theh book, and take tests on it with no idea what specifically to study. She is clear on what she wants, but is no help to you. She will show no mercy on you. Be wary.

Comment:

when you decide to take this class, make sure that you will not miss the single word of the text book. It's 100 level class but have to give more than 400 level attention and time. So, decide it's challenge. Hope to get A when I started but soon realized hard to get it.

Comment:

(Took the class online) Must read the book. Study all the reading material mentioned in the syllabus. She pays attention to grammar and wording in the Art paper. I suggest you take your final paper to the writing center and find someone who has experience knowing what she looks for. Good luck!

Prof. Metcalf is an excellent professor for anyone interested in art history, whether you are an art history major or not. I highly recommend her. She is a fountain of valuable information and stories. She's also very friendly and helpful outside the classroom.

Comment:

This is a college class you are expected to read the book. Show up and listen to what she has to say! Yes her voice is annoying and she spells out a ton of words that she really doesn't have to but she is passionate about art. The class is pretty easy if you just pay attention!!!

Worst teacher ever!!! I got an F in the class, worst lecture giver! i had study sessions in study groups for many hours at a time and I still failed my tests. Very unhelpful & very boring. DO NOT TAKE HER (you will regret it)

Comment:

Don't take her class, she does not make any sense. She spells out pretty much every word she says during lectures, she does assigned seats when there's 300+ students. She has an annoying raspy voice and I couldn't understand her. Avoid taking her class if you can, otherwise find another professor!

Comment:

I went to every class and took notes on everything. You don't need the notes to study but you do need the book, unfortunatly. If you only read the "featured essays" in each chapter you'll at least get a C-B on the exam. If you have an art backround the class is pretty easy.

Comment:

DON'T TAKE THIS PROFESSOR! Her voice is annoying and you have to listen to it the whole class. Her tests are hard unless you read every inch of the thick text book, which was really expensive. If I could go back I would have dropped this class. You are making a very poor choice if you are deciding to take this class.
