I took multiple classes with Swati as a non-art history major and enjoyed every one. She is very passionate and serious about her work and it shows in the lectures. all of her classes were very interesting and influenced me to pursue architecture as a possible career path.

It was a shame that she felt it necessary to yellow every other word and put the an emphasis on the wrong syllables because I am sure if anyone else present her same information I would have enjoyed this class. Someone needs to tell her to tone it down and stop yelling intermittently because its totally not enjoyable to sit through!

what eveyone says it very true. Soften her up by going to her offic hours and sit in the front row. it's not bad at all. I kept the book and love what i learned...very useful in everyday life.

The class was organized by subject matter, instead of chronologically, so it was a little weird. Excellent class, though. She requires you to actually think critically about the relationship of architecture and Modernity. The people who don't like her usually don't get it, or they're not that interested in the subject to begin with.

Very hard and strict teacher. Gets the points across pretty well in class but content is hard to get by with. Has a lot of expectations from students but as long as you get what she's trying to get across, the class isn't too hard.

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
