ARTH 2861

It was a lot more intensive than I anticipated. The course consisted of two exams, 2 quizzes and 2 short writing assignments. I really liked that Professor Wong provided us multiple extra credit opportunities; however, I would recommend starting them right away since they are time consuming. There were also many recommended reading assignments given, but I found they were too time consuming and resorted to relying solely on the textbook. Overall, this was a good but challenging class since there was a lot of memorization involved with knowing every single art piece.

Professor Wong is knowledge and a nice person too. I enjoyed this class and would consider taking another one with her. The only thing is that the class itself is too broad which requires a ton of memorization -- we covered the history of art of China, Japan, and Korea from prehistory to modern, a quite ambitious scope. The grading isn't bad at all, and she gives extra credit opportunities. More like an easy A- but as long as you put in some work an A is doable. There isn't much homework except for 3ish short writing assignments, no long paper. If you are only looking for a class to fill the humanities requirement, there are better options. But if you intend to major in Art History/East Asian Studies etc this class is definitely worth taking.

Easy A and fun material, definitely recommend. Unless other courses with specific topics in East Asian art, this class gives you a nice overview and general idea. Be prepared to memorize artworks, less than 300 in total, 1/3 for midterm and 2/3 for final. Besides that, there are 2 short quizes on identifying artworks and 2 in-class writings about 500 words each. The easy way to do well is to take down whatever she says in class so you don't have to read the textbook at all. Take perfect notes so you can do well on in-class writings, which are open notes but due after only 20 minutes! 5 p.m. class can make you feel sleepy but I don't think it's because the materials are boring.

I was hesitant about taking this class, but Professor Wong made all of the material very enjoyable. Because of her, I have a new found appreciation for Asian culture and art. I highly recommend taking any class with her. She is a great teacher and cares so much about her students.

Wong is very knowledgable. Although the material can be difficult if your previous exposure to East Asian art is limited.

This class wasn't very interesting to me because I don't particularly care for art but it was just very boring. The quizzes are easy and the midterm and final is not difficult, but the material was not as appealing as i thought it would be.

This is a fairly easy class. High recommended if you are looking for an easy A. The grades consists of quizzes, a midterm, a final and completing your class evaluation at the end of the semester(that's 5% of your grade right there!!!). The final is non-cumulative. The easiest way to get a good grade in the class is to find a study buddy. The subject material is interesting, but there are times where you will be put to sleep, but that's very rare. Professor Wong is a very nice lady and easy to approach if you have a question. Overall,I enjoyed my time in that class.

The class for the most part was enjoyable and fun, because the professor is knowledgeable and the art is interesting. Lots of students tend to fall asleep because it was right after lunch time. There's a midterm, final, and a few quizzes that was strictly all memorization and recall, so make flashcards!

Ms. Wong has pretty good lectures, but perhaps a bit dry. They are relatively comprehensive and help to focus our individual study, but there's A LOT of independent reading. This class was one of my hardest ones this year, but it was certainly worthwhile and I know that a lot of other people did better than I did in the class, so it wasn't impossible. It was really fun to have a private room in the library for our visual analysis assignment to see expensive replicas by Fan Kuan and Guo Xi, whose artworks we had to write about. We also went to the Bayley museum for one class, and Ms. Wong gave us an opportunity to redeem lower grades by letting us attend museum lectures and doing very short write-ups. I recommend the class, but it will be a substantial amount of work. Memorizing so many slides was really hard for me.
