Carly Thomsen

Prof Thomsen is a very enthusiastic and clear professor. This course requires lots of reading, but the readings are engaging and very applicable to the state of the world. There are a few quizzes that are not too bad but are timed and require concise explanation of arguments from the readings.

For a college writing course, this class had a lot of reading and not much writing, which I guess some may enjoy. The projects however take up a lot of extra time outside of class and you constantly needed to meet with different people, the professor expected you to have time for all of this. Also, not only did you have your individual art project, but also a group one, while also planning and writing for the big class project (a mini-golf course). On top of that we had a ton of reading and extended discussions in class, with quizzes for said readings. However, as annoying as all the reading was, I would say that most of it was super interesting and actually kept me engaged (although some were pretty repetitive). All in all, I mostly enjoyed the course but it simply took too much time and required a lot of out-of-class effort that I don't think was necessary.

I loved taking a class with Carly, and felt that I learned a lot through this course. I will say, I was not prepared for the project involvement, however, I found it to be an interesting way to learn.
