ARTHI6C . Sorkin Jenni A Month Ago

Really heavy workload. The professor was often dismissive and unwilling to listen to students' perspectives, especially when they disagreed with her. She was not open to discussion or different points of view, which made communication with her extremely difficult and frustrating.

If you are a student who values communication with professors, don't take her class. She is unapproachable, rude, passive aggressive and impatient. Additionally, any time I participated in class discussions or express an opinion I had about an art piece or text, she would take my words completely out of context and assume that I was bigoted.

I found her energy very comfortable & likable. She interacted with the class a lot and gave great lectures, although sometimes felt unnecessary. Did a total of 5 papers including a group project slide show toward the end of the course. She's very keen on attendance and not leaving early. Came off strict at times. Learned more through section.

The lectures are terrible. They are just photos of art pieces that don't need to be shown. I learned more in the section than in the lectures.

Long lectures that do not relate much to the essays or group projects. So many tangents that are unrelated to the subject matter. However, if you're more than okay at essays I would take this class because that's all the grades are based on.

Easy class !! Outside of a handful of papers, your workload is next to nothing. Her slides are not easy to follow, but she's a great speaker so I highly recommend you attend lectures !! Group project was easy enough and not too time consuming.
