Most Helpful Review
As an Art History major, this is what I expect from my classes: an exceptional amount of information and an exceptional amount of memorization. I can see how this class could be interpreted as tedious, boring, and overly involved, but in terms of an Art History course, Professor Woods-Marsden does mitigate some of the damage by providing you with slide lists and lecture notes. Your TAs tend to only be slightly more than useless, since UCLA's Art History department is geared towards Modern and Non-western art---so section can be a little ponderous. This class is definitely not an easy GE, you need to be able to recognize about 100+ images by sight and be able to recall: Title, Artist, EXACT Date, EXACT Location, and Patron, in addition to understanding all of the over-arching concepts.
