I'm not an art history major and I would say this class would be slightly harder for non-majors because you need to be sort of familiar with the different art styles and have really good memorization for the tests (which give you image IDs). I have no experience in art history, but doing the readings really helped so that's my recommendation. The professor is strict, but she cares and she's a really nice and interesting person to talk to outside of class. It was a challenging class, by no means an easy A, but it was super interesting learning about art development and how it ties into social and political development. There were about four short essays (two pages each, pretty simple), two attendance assignments, and a midterm and final which had the same format.

I'm not the best student but I've never failed a class before. But I think I might fail this one. :/ it'll be my first F at UCLA. Unless you're super good at doing all your readings on time and have great memorization skills, don't take this class. Her lectures are dry and boring. She knows her subject very well but the way she lectures puts me to sleep. She has power points but her power points don't have much written on them or usually nothing at all. Her grading scale was 40% midterm, 20% in-class writing, and 40% final. 90% of your final is a take home paper to write which are 2 essays, 2 pages each. 10% in class final ID. Do not take this class if you're looking for an easy A or if you are lazy.
