Review #1 / Course: ART 1001 / Instructor: GIVENS J
Givens doesn't know what he is talking about. No one ever went to class because he posts his powerpoints online. Tests come straight from powerpoints. 95% of the tests are memorizing the title of an artwork or the artist given a picture of the painting. I made a B, and I did have to study.. I'm glad I took this art as my art elective and got it out of the way, but otherwise don't take it.

Review #2 / Course: ART 1001 / Instructor: GIVENS J
OMG this class is soooo boring. Its not too hard just A LOT of memorizing. He is a pretty good teacher, I hate art, but it wasnt horrible. I honestly only went to about 7 classes total and I have a B. He post his powerpoints on moodle and thats all I study the day of the test. Its ok.
