Quarter: Fall 2022
Grade: C+
Sept. 18, 2023

*I took two classes from Professor Rosenblum. I received a higher grade in the other course however, this review applies to both*

PROS:
-She is nice, knowledgeable, and passionate in her discipline.
-She is always offering assistance to her students during office hours.
-If you do take her class, you will definitely leave with more knowledge than you entered.

CONS:
-She takes attendance EVERY lecture, so don't be absent nor tardy. Felt like you're back in high school. (graded)
-Participation is a must in EVERY lecture. She marks your name when you do participate. (graded)
-Her lectures are very dense and she will expect you to write everything she says and displays in class.
-Most of the material that is assigned to read is very dense and not needed in her midterm/final.
-Most of the lecture/readings is filled with irrelevant information that isn't needed. Her class is pretty much being bogged down by minutiae of the material.
-She is a tough grader. She does NOT have a grading rubric, which is fine, however, with the amount of points she docks off it is necessary.
-Her prompts for essays seem fun and creative, however, the lack of a grading rubric ruins the experience.
-Homework is assigned quite a bit, again, the feeling of being in high school is prevalent in her courses.
-By the 6th week of the quarter, it was VERY difficult to either attend or stay awake in her lectures since they are dense and her soft spoken voice. It was definitely a struggle to say the least.
-The final consists of art work analysis and memorization of 50 art works. The analysis is difficult since she is expecting word verbatim of her lectures (do not use your own opinions) and the fact that you have to memorize 50 art works and only 15-20 will be on the exam is a waste of time and completely irrelevant. Since the student is only memorizing just for the test, the student isn't taking away meaningful knowledge in the sense of "seeing" art, just temporarily memorizing the work that will be forgotten afterwards.

TAKE HER CLASS IF:
-you're good at memorizing minutiae course work.
-You have all the time in the world
-You don't have to work in college
-All your other classes are easy and light

You will need to study to do well in this course, but it's totally worth it. Professor Rosenblum was arguably one of the best professors I've ever had. It's clear she loves the subject, and was passionate about teaching and student success. I would love to take a course with her again.

I absolutely loved this class and professor. If you take this class you must be prepared to memorize over 100 works of art. But the lectures are very engaging and the professor gives life to the works.
