Comment:

Took it summer 2019. She is absolutely amazing and makes the class as interesting as she can. Slide identification is SO IMPORTANT. I suggest using quizlet for Egyptian and Greek art portion of the class to study. Go to class, study, take good notes and you will pass. Also you'll need the book for vocab and picture reference. Interesting class!

Once again Professor Levins never disappoints. She is a wonderful educator with extreme knowledge about art history from any generation. Her tests are designed exactly like her study guide, just study and read the information about the art works and you will be prepared for her tests. She offers extra credit & her lectures are important to attend

Comment:

For me personally, Art 101 was really boring. We were graded solely on three tests, the lowest of which was dropped. The entire class is just memorization. All of the tests were multiple choice, and if you didn't memorize, you didn't pass. To be fair, you have a pretty good idea of what is on each test. Extra credit, but you have to go to a museum.

Took it during summer. Unlike other summer classes, she didn't try to fit 4 months worth of info into one month. Instead, we only went over egyptian, greek, and roman art and she focused on giving us a good understanding of it. 3 exams to test memory of the art shown, none are cumulative. Use flashcards on quizlet to study ;) Easy A & extra credit.

Comment:

Professor Levin was an absolutely amazing teacher, even though my major has nothing to do with art history I learned SO much. There are 3 tests, 2 quizzes and 1 extra credit assignment that she offers, she also gives you handouts to study for the tests. If you read, show up and pay attention in class, and put some effort you'll receive an A !!

Comment:

I was not interested in art history until I took her class art 101, and Art 105 late. English is my second language, that why I can not understand all her lectures. But I felt the passion and inspiration in her lectures. If you study careful all on Handouts that she gives, you are easy to pass this class. She is very dedicated to all students.

ART116 for Fall '17. Be present b/c classes are VERY lecture heavy. Offers extra credit opportunities worth up to a full grade (10 pts) altogether. Counts any significant improvement towards your final letter grade. I bombed one quiz but got an A because I went from 50% on quizzes to 90-100% on exams. Amazing teacher!

Comment:

Took her Fall17 for Art 116. Lovely teacher, clearly cares about her students & wants what's best for them. Classes are heavy lectures the entire time frame, so take good & detailed notes. You won't even read the 2 books she requires, so don't buy them since exams/quizzes are ONLY based on the lectures. So try to be present or you'll fall behind.

That's great Professor of Art 101 Class. The lectures are not heavy. Let's note careful at class, review at three handouts, you are not difficult to pass this class with B. My English is not good, but I passed this class with A. I'll take class Art 105 with her next semester.

Comment:

She knows her stuff and I learned a lot. It was a difficult class due to the nonstop lectures and the amount of memorization that was required to do well on her tests, but if you show up, take excellent and copious notes and make flash cards you will do well. If your writing hand doesnt hurt after class you arent taking enough detailed notes!

Comment:

Attendance is a must. She covers a lot of material and you have to memorize dates and periods and names and art pieces for the slide id part of the test. I did not use the textbook much and i got a good grade. Learned a lot of interesting facts. She is passionate about the subject so she is strict about paying attention and having phones off.

Eugenia is amazing! She is so passionate about art history and makes you love it just as much as she does. A very visual learning class. You get to see the art up close as she lectures about it, the lectures can get boring sometimes, but they are mostly fascinating. She's very understanding and gives extra credit. She's the best.

Eugenia is the best!! I really enjoyed her class even though it got boring at times, most of the time it was super cool and interesting. If you are a visual learning she is the teacher for you. The class is very focused on memorizing slides of art. Like the artists name, the title of the piece of art, the date and the medium. Take good notes too.

Very lecture heavy. I took this class with her last year, didn't pass. Took it again this year, and I passed! Honestly, just listen to what she says and you'll be alright. Read the books assigned (she has them on hold at the library) and take notes during lecture. She's great! Wonderful, wonderful professor.

Comment:

Very kind professor, she lectures quite a bit but you retain all of the knowledge. You'll have 3 tests, 2 quizzes, and 1 extra credit opportunity (which you should take advantage of!) You don't technically NEED the books, but you will have to find another way of getting pictures of all of the artwork. She will drop your lowest text grade.

Comment:

Makes you buy 2books but goes completely off of lecture. Only used books for some definitions. You NEED to know your dates, terms and artists to do well on tests. Overall not too bad but really strict about talking/using phone and can be a little mean sometimes. Does offer extra credit. "Easy" A only if you take good notes and study a lot.

She really makes you memorize EVERYTHING about the artwork, even the date. Her tests are super long and literally paragraphs u have to read through in multiple choice. Take her if ur actually an AH major otherwise there are easier AH classes at lavc.
