Fall 2016 - Professor K.Q. is very chill and knows her stuff! She cracks jokes and does interpretive dance every now and then which makes the class more fun and relatable. She explains the material clear enough, you make not need the textbook because her lectures are basically the textbook, just more detailed . Do take notes during lecture because her slides are just pictures with IDs. I really enjoyed the class overall, BUT there was one thing that annoyed me. She assigns weekly readings that are VERY BORING and LONG, it was always a pain to read them. Though you don't have to read every one she assigns, knowing what was said in the readings helps a lot during discussion and prepares you for the essays on the midterm, final, and museum paper. All in all, I would definitely recommend this GE to anyone, it's interesting and fun, but can be a occasionally bothersome.

DON'T TAKE THIS CLASS! Dr. Kennedy-Quigley cares about what she's teaching. But she talks fast and you'll have to write down all the information, so bring a laptop. Everything that comes out of her mouth will be on her tests. The first midterm we had to memorize 30 slides. You have to memorize the name,date, place, and information of each slide. She'll only test you on 7 though and you'll have to be super specific or you won't get a good grade. There's a paper where you have to visit either the Getty museum or LACMA because she wants proof that you went. Then the final you have to memorize 50 slides and she'll again only test you on 7 of them. Even if you memorize all of the slides you might memorize more information for one piece of art than another. And that'll will hurt your grade. I spend hours trying to memorize all of them and barely got a B for the class. This is not an easy GE at all, especially when you have other more important classes to worry about.

Professor KQ is extremely knowledgable. I took 118C w/ her. She talks really fast and sometimes really low so you'll def need to type notes and possibly also record. She's really funny and knows what she's talking about. Her midterm was pretty straight forward: memorizing slides and writing essays. But she is an extremely tough grader. She expects you to write a lot of clearly thought out information in a very little amount of time. Kind of seems unfair that she expects us to recite everything that she's said in class during the midterm, but she's constantly looking at notes when she lectures us. Book hasn't been necessary. Doesn't ask to see if you've done the reading. One in class midterm, one research paper, and one take home final. You'll have to go to class and it won't be the easiest A, but you can definitely say you learned something when you leave her class.
