History of Western Dress

I thoroughly enjoyed this class. The lectures each class went over the reading and included art from the time period. Every class, we get to do a craft related to the time period then turn it in for completion points. The crafts are very enjoyable, including hats, bracelets, and coloring pages. The class is very interesting but also laid back, which is amazing. We have 5 small projects that include analyzing art from the time period we're focusing on and two major projects. We have open note quizzes every three weeks. She also brings her dog to class every day! I loved this class.

I really liked this class, but felt that Professor Jack's teaching style was incredibly fast-paced, which made it hard to retain any material. The exams are impossibly hard, with her asking extremely specific questions that were said in the lecture weeks ago. If you take good notes, you should be fine, but good luck keeping up in lecture; she speaks very fast. My favorite part of the class was the last 30 minutes when we would do some sort of activity relating to our class discussion. These were always super fun and engaging, and we even got to take some of our pieces home. Overall, take this class if you are willing to put in the work it is not an "easy A", but it can be fun if you meet the deadlines and keep up with assignments.

Professor Summer Jack is very kind, and we have the opportunity to create something related to the lecture, such as a hat, robe, or drawing. We had a collaborative class with the French Department and attended a theater performance.

Wow! Summer jack was absolutely a fine instructor. Her class was engaging, low stakes, and allowed students to really be creative in a lot of ways. I think that it was special that she let me join the class late after dropping CHEM, and was overall very accomodating and allowed me to explore non-western dress. Great course

I took this class to gain an art credit, and I thought that the material and class were a lot of fun. The professor would spend the first half of the class lecturing and would have us do a hands-on art project relating to the material we had just learned, during the second part. Outside of class there were 5 main image-searching projects, and the final was 2 papers and a presentation to go along with each. The exams were not that difficult, but some questions were really heavily weighted, although the professor always went back and regraded questions for fairness.

This is probably the most fun class I have and will ever take at MIDD. You end up learning a lot through the lectures and then there are fun hands-on activities after. The final project is really fun although it is a decent amount of work. I would definitely recommend this course.

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. It gives me a break from the work heavy material from all my other classes. 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.
