Chattopadhyay may be a bit intimidating at first, but she's genuinely interested in the subject matter and student learning. The only assignment was to keep a journal of class activities and the occasional assigned reading. If you show up and do the journal, it's an easy and fairly interesting class.

Her lectures are rambling and often wholly unrelated to the assigned readings. Moreover, her slides are completely jumbled, with little to no “Cornell”-style planning between concepts, themes, and general ideas of each lecture. Mid

professor swati is knowledgeable and the readings were occasionally interesting, but the lectures could be confusing, and the readings felt were long and complicated sometimes. however, if you review the study guides for tests, the exams are really straightforward and i felt like i learned a lot from the course.

Swati's teaching style can be best described as firm yet open-minded. With primarily clear lectures and a lenient grading system, her course is easily accessible and engaging even to someone not in the art history scene. Participation and attendance is required to pass the course, though the online exams and in-class projects were hardly difficult.

Lectures were not relevant to assignments and were quite arbitrary - overall I enjoyed the class but her teaching style was really not beneficial to myself or others who were taking the class as well.

Professor was okay, she seemed sweet but I do think your TA makes or breaks your grade. unfortunately most of the ARTHI classes are paper heavy. overall easy ish class
