The decision
Key questions
Is this an easy A?
A grades are common, but comments say students must finish projects, submit on time, show effort, and handle meaningful workload.
Online reviews make the A look more reachable with clear criteria, while in-person reviews stress more time, materials, and strict expectations.
Is the course easy?
Beginning classes can be accessible, but the work often pushes students beyond comfort zones and intermediate projects become demanding.
Online ART4A sounds easier than online ART4B, while in-person reviews describe a wider mix from beginner-friendly to time-consuming.
Is attendance flexible?
Online reviews list attendance as not mandatory, while several in-person reviews list attendance as mandatory or important.
Online attendance appears flexible, but in-person attendance is often mandatory or practically important.
Is this professor recommended?
Students recommend her for feedback, care, and artistic growth, but workload, grading, and unclear technical instruction create real hesitation.
Online reviews are split by course level, while in-person reviews show stronger polarization over many years.
