Spring 2024 - i took her seminar on performance art with the lecture on protest art... overall, her lectures are fairly interesting. she's one of the few professors that I believe have figured out a way for a 40 person lecture to run like a seminar. that being said, it is still a traditional lecture with slides so if ur not much of a talker, u won't have to worry about having to interact with people often. it's more just she encourages us to chat with neighbors if time allowed and the ambience of her classrooms are very much open dialogue. so she encourages us to share, raise hands, and ask questions whenever. so, a lot of students felt comfortable doing this even though we sat in rows. lectures are slides with artworks that follow somewhat of a chronological timeline that revolve on a thematic point in time or issue. i would say taking lecture notes should be ur top priority, they help the most when it comes to the final paper. you still have to do some readings for a few assignments every other week and for the final. but, they're not too difficult and are always interesting.

Spring 2024 - logistically, the class was fairly easy. weekly readings with assignments due every other week which isn't a lot. but, if you fall behind, it does catch up to you. so, make sure ur on top of due dates. readings are a bit dense but u have one week to complete like 2-3 of them so it's not the worst. i had friends that got all 100s across the board but I struggled with her grading style a bit. however, I don't think she's impossible to please, just go to her office hours and after a while you should be able to get a hang of it. she's also really accessible and accomodating. scheduling office hours is not difficult and she genuinely loves her students. she's also pretty flexible with due dates as long as you communicate with her.
