Censored! Art on Trial

Spring 2020 - Professor Lopez was so incredibly understanding of the circumstances of her students, and she was always ready to make accommodations if she felt they were needed. She gave out multiple extra credit opportunities and was always a fair grader. The topics of the class were also very interesting although some of the readings were dense. Overall I would recommend because of how smoothly she transferred her class to an online platform.
