Dr. Allsen is the best WOTA professor from what i've heard from fellow classmates. All you have to do is show up to class, fill out the note packets provided and follow along with the powerpoints. The class is basically just powerpoints and reviews and there are only 3 tests plus the final. Dr. Allsen is really good with D2L doesn't have you read a book which all of the other professors do. I really recommend this professor.
This professor is amazing. Every semester before taking it myself I've heard that W.O.T.A was a 'waste of time' class and how everyone hated it. Well they obviously did not have the right professor. Allsen is the best, I actually enjoy class. His tests are easy, yes, but only because the subject matter and how he presents it is interesting and you really pay attention to it. He also gives very detailed outlines for each unit lecture for you to print off and bring to class to take notes on. Just do that and you'll be fine. This is a great class with this professor. He knows what he's doing.

Negative:
He makes a lot of corny music jokes, but by far this is the guy to take for WOTA. He is an excellent tour guide through the arts and his grades are very easy. He takes you through the exam before he gives it to you...this is the easiest A I ever picked up. Plus, he really knows his stuff.
