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

This professor is simply extremely boring but she is not the problem. The problem is the TAs. Most do not know what is going on and will grade like their life depends on it. They are rude and extremely unhelpful. If you need an area F please try finding another class that won't hurt your GPA.

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.

This professor lacked respect and was not at all respectful. She was rude and did not treat the students well. She should not teach.

Professor is very passionate about the subject and can be intimidating at times due to the amount of knowledge she has and her expectations of students. She makes lectures engaging based on how much she knows and clearly tells you what to expect for midterms, assignments, and projects.

5 modules each worth 10%. Midterm and final online. Chill class but super uninteresting and the lectures felt 10 hours long. TA grades hard and makes you walk around the Arts Building every week writing down observations. Felt like the class was a waste of my time, did not learn much. Dissapointed in the GE classes at UCSB.

There is a lot of reading and you really have to pay attention during the lectures but I found it pretty interesting. Sometimes the concepts were very abstract but the TAs and the sections really helped. Not a super hard class but you definitely just have to put in some time.

Tough if you have no experience in the subject. TA's grade.

We had short assignments that did take some thought but were pretty straightforward once you got the hang of it. The final was a bit difficult. She assigned our research paper as more like a detailed review of another paper since we didnt have as much access to sources during the remote quarter. Shell give you solid feedback if you reach out.

Lectures are very boring and her voice is quite dry. Weekly assignments are short, but graded harshly. The research paper was a little odd for an art history paper but graded fairly.
