Expecting a B

I am in shock to find out she had such low score on here! This is my first ARTH class I had with Prof. Volk and she is the best Art history professor I had! She knows her materials and she is very passionate about Japanese Arts. We do have a lot of readings but they are not too long and difficult to understand. Even if I missed readings of the week, being in class to discuss the readings will help you keep up with class. It was quite easy to get through as it is interesting with a lot of engagement with actual archival materials and films in class. I usually can't focus for long but I never got bored in this class and out focus because she always have books or actual artwork to show us and pass along to read/ touch it. I got a B but it's my own fault for not working on my final essay on time (otherwise pretty sure a A-). We didn't have final exam because she asked all of us to vote on it which is very nice. One thing I love about this course is that the materials and schedule on ELMS is so organized and easy to understand what to do each week, so I never felt like I don't know what to do or I had to remember it myself. I would take another of her art history class if I could!
