I really hate the way she teaches, she acts like asking questions is a waste of her time and only grades you on 3 huge tests and 2 tiny assignments. Super anal about test answers and heavily docks points for missing small details. The only way to do well in her class is to cheat. I don't think I will ever willingly take a class with her again.

I thought I was going to be bored out of my mind taking a class like this but it ended up being my favorite this quarter. It's a class I got to relax, enjoy, and learn new things about rather than being stressed and overwhelmed. Lectures were interesting, participation was easy, and she's very understanding/ considerate.

loved Professor Garfinkle! Made the class flexible enough to navigate during online classes and learned a lot about different forms of art which was made interesting through engaging lectures. would definitely recommend taking this professor!

She is really laid back and easy to contact. She gives really good advice and has lots to talk about in modern art history.

Really cared about students during pandemic. Very understanding as well. No live lectures was great

This class isnt the most exhilarating. There are 2 lectures every week that are pre-recorded. The lectures are pretty difficult to pay attention to they dont hold your attention for long. There is no mandatory class meeting. The tests are really straightforward if you watch the lectures and take notes you should get an A no problem
