Comment:

I believe you should take her class if you truly would like to learn the material and this course is very interesting because you get to watch videos and look at different artworks that are very eye-catching. Ofc this class isn't an easy A but it's a class in which it shows the amount of work you do. There is extra credit but not that much.

I loved this class. Assignments were due weekly, but they were straight forward and easy to do. If you couldn't submit the assignment, just contact her and she will re-open it if your reasoning seems legit. No midterm or final, but there were weekly OPEN book quizzes. Hard to not get an A.

Comment:

The start can be intimidating, the key parts are watch the lectures, quizes, be prepared for surprise no-prep group presentations (hence always watch the lecture videos before class) and the research paper is a heavy weight on the overall grade! Not too big on the group aspect of the class, as group members can be hit or miss. Textbook never used.

Comment:

Basically a religion class, she praises the European culture exponentially. Very condescending towards the students. However her class is very simple and easy, so basically getting a low difficulty course ran by a narrow vision specimen.

Comment:

Sandra Haynes knows what she is teaching. Her lectures are fine. It is not an easy class. Her tests are easy if you know the material but the final was 50 questions and out 200 points so if you get one question wrong, you lose 4 points. There is no extra credit but she drops the lowest test grade. You have to write an essay but it is not bad.

Comment:

Extra credit means NOTHING! I did all extra credit assignments, drove hundreds of miles for that, submitted the reports, didn't help the grade. Ended up with C. Unless this is your major better not taking this class. I could have GPA 3.7 before this class. Bad decision I regret.

Comment:

If you are not into history major, avoid this class. She is good (because been doing it for years), sometimes rude and cynical. Extra credit assignments mean nothing. Did couple of extra credit assignment to help the grade, drove hundreds of mile, both directions, wrote reports and essays. Ended up with C.

Comment:

1A class was fairly interesting. I LOVE her lecture because she makes art history really fun! This class requires heavy notetaking, so put your effort on taking notes from her lecture (it would be really helpful). Textbook is not needed, but attend every class, pay full attention to her lecture, and study before exams then you will enjoy this class

Comment:

Sandra Haynes is definitely underrated here. She's very knowledgeable and serious about her field of expertise. She doesn't put up with slackers so keep up and READ. She appreciates participation so speak up. STUDY HARD! Some of my classmates said they weren't art majors and wanted an easy way through history THIS IS NOT AN EASY WAY OUT!

Comment:

I would not reccomend this class to anyone, this professor is rude to her students on top of dry lectures and excessive bragging about her personal wealth and life. if you want to learn about art, or if you just want to pass the class, I suggest fnding another professor.

Comment:

Took her during summer. DOES NOT TEACH. Watch her lectures at home, quiz every class meet. Very unclear. Does not tell you exactly what she wants in the essay but just a rubric. Doesn't teach you how to write an essay for an art class. Wasted my entire summer for this class for not learning anything.

Comment:

I should have dropped the first week, this professor lectures were so hard, we just looked at pictures on screen and she just spoke about them, then you had to review online with videos, and when you took the test, most of the questions were difficult and not taught by the professor. #thebookwasneverneeded

Comment:

This class was a lecture class, so there wasn't much interaction with the professor, but she is very knowledgable about art. It's helpful all her lectures are available online incase you miss a class or need to go over a lecture again. There's a lot to remember, so reviewing on your own is crucial. Oh, and she is not a fan of students leaving early

Not an easy class, you will have to work for your grade! But if you read the assigned textbook chapters and study for exams, you should be fine! Written assignments are easy, just reference the textbook and do not overthink them. Also, lectures are easy to follow and are very interesting.

There is an online quiz 20-30 questions everyweek along with a paper. There are no actual art assignments. She gives you a week to go to a museum. Considering most ppl are taking other classes, its difficult. Do not take.

DEFINITELY NOT AN EASY A! Very poor communication in this online class, she never responded to the emails I sent her. Pretty hard online class, she makes you WORK for your grade, and was very strict with her grading. I would not recommend this class at all, most students got D's and C's, and this class ruined my GPA. Very time consuming, stressful!

Comment:

Course is pretty difficult. memorize tons of information along with their images. Tests are moderately difficult. Essays not bad. Must write in college level English. I honestly think the course should be worth 4 to 5 units rather than just 3. She is a sweet heart, and crystal clear. Read the text, memorize images, and study hard then you'l be fine
