great prof for upper division-she seems to be genuinely interested in Bernini. she does test on the reading--even the articles on reserve at the library, so if she mentions a reading in class, read it (e.g. kitao's article)! if she doesnt mention it, she probably won't test on it.

Her class on Bernini was really good. The tests weren't too hard, but it was worth making flashcards for them. She pretty clearly reiterates the themes she wants you to know, so it's easy to follow along. She basically equips you to go out and study Bernini on your own if you want. A great primer

Dr. Paul is an amazing and passionate lecturer. Her classes are engaging and very interesting especially if you're an art history student. Lots of information to memorize, which could be expected for an upper-division art history course. I found the material to be captivating and enjoyable to learn.

Professor Paul is, quite frankly, an awful lecturer. Her slides are completely useless pictures and nothing she says is written down. The one time there were words, she was rude about uploading them. I did 0 readings for the class, it's almost all common sense. Her attendance is also awful, a code at the end of lecture due 5 minutes after it ends.

Would not take for a GE. Asks way too much out of students when most are just trying to cover Area F. Lectures are mandatory and terribly boring.

If you enjoy Renaissance/Baroque art, then this is a class for you, if not, find a different Art GE. 6B with Paul is a harder class than other ARTHI courses I have taken, even as an Art History major. Mandatory attendance and I felt that it was hard to know how to succeed and do well on essays and blue-book tests. If you're taking for a GE, don't.
