History of Western Dress: 1300-Present This course will address the changing ways in which societies have clothed the human body since the phenomenon of fashion in Western dress began during the late Middle Ages. Slides, readings, and video clips will be used to examine the ways in which evolving styles of dress reflect the social and political values of a society.
I took this course as a schedule filler. I was pleasantly surprised when I showed up and was told that all tests are take home. The only two major assignments you have are a research paper, and an applied project with another paper. Besides those two massive assignments the rest of the class is a breeze.
The class is very chill, we spend half the class with lectures and the latter half doing hands on crafts relating to the lecture.

Throughout the semester, you get 5 "image journals" in which you provide 10 images from a specific time period and state what the statue/painting is wearing. All exams are open notes.
