This was my first online course, and I highly recommend it! You learn a lot, and the work is very manageable. Professor Alamillo wants you to pass, and she is always willing to help.

She is clear on what is expected of you and when things are due. Is understandable and doesn't rush for work to be done and gives enough time to do the work. Free online textbook. Essays are prompted and don't take long to do as long as you have done the reading. Able to take the quizzes 2 times. Would definitely take her again.

Comment:

Professor Alamillo's class isn't the most interesting, to be honest, but it was one of the easiest classes I've taken this past Spring. Not a lot of homework and she split people into groups to work sometimes. Just do good on her couple of tests and final essay and you should pass. Not as hard as it sounds. She is an easy grader.

Comment:

Worst professor that I had ever taken here. She tells you that all ideas are equal and no one should be ashamed of their opinions yet criticizes you harshly for your comments? Strange. Also, a lot of the things she says are going to be on the test, aren't.

Comment:

Took this course online over Summer thinking it would be a breeze since all of the ratings were good and "easy." I learned the hard way that this was NOT an easy course. You must read the online textbook (free) carefully for the Quizzes. The essay prompts were confusing, but doable. Not a difficult class overall, but you MUST put in work.

Comment:

Professor Alamillo is super passionate about the subject she teaches. Tests were fair, but there were a few questions on minor details she'd skim over in class. (Read the textbook too for an A!) The only negative is the lack of organization within the class, otherwise the class wasn't too hard. Honors has a longer essay and museum write up.

Comment:

She is so unorganized there was no exam dates or homework on the syllabus. Luctures are so boring PowerPoint everyday. You cant see your grades until the end. She gives random homework in class and online assignments on canvas. Also bunch of museum visits. Attendance is non mandatory but you will loose pionts

Comment:

Definitely is passionate but can sometimes go on and on about one thing, especially if students aren't contributing to the discussion. Only test was the midterm and it was easy. Downside is she's slow on replying to emails and did not grade anything on canvas so no one knew their grade until the final grade came out.

Comment:

I took Alamillo for Honors Art History during the summer. TAKE HER! She is hilarious and super nice. We had one museum visit essay, two tests, and one final project (easy). Alamillo focuses more on discussing the art, and she understands that a lot of the information is short-term so she's not strict. Listening to her talk is so fun and easy!

Comment:

I took this class because I needed an easy honors class. Worst decision I ever made in my life. You sit in class & she lectures the whole time. No writing or notes just sit there and listen. We took one test and had an essay due at the end. I got a 89.6 and she gave me a B in the class even though I did everything she asked for. I DO NOT RECOMMEND!

Comment:

I took her class in Spring'17, she was my first college professor and I'm absolutely loved the class. She gave multiple extra credit opportunities, 3 exams. It's an easy A if you prepare for the exams and take notes. Two essays but not a tough grader. Doesn't use textbook much, don't buy it. Show up to lectures. She's extremely friendly and fun.

Comment:

One of the best professors I've ever had. Take honors if you don't like quizzes. She really gets the class involved so it's hard to get bored in her class. She's super friendly and willing to work with her students. The hardest part is the memorization of names and dates but if you get flashcards it'll be easy. Her lectures were an experience.

Comment:

3 exams, 2 essays, a couple discussion posts, and LOTS of note taking. The book wasn't mandatory for my semester. I never used the book, just used my notes. She's very energetic, caring, and exciting especially in the morning. The only complaint about this class is you don't know what your grade is till the end of the semester.

You can really tell that Professor Alamillo cares not only about what she teaches but also about her students. She gives enough feedback and proper study guides for the quizzes that you're prepared. Even though the material may be boring, she teaches it in a way for you to stay interested.
