Fall 2019 - I thought I was going crazy or something til I read these recent reviews. I took this class this fall due to the good reviews on this site. I'm guessing TAs wrote those to encourage people to take this class or something, because for one -- I have never attended lectures more un-engaging, and two -- this is NOT an easy GE. Yes, it's concerning art, and it is a GE, so it should be easy, but this class is taken way too seriously. The homework is impossible to read. Top marks received in this class are Bs. You can follow directions and still fail. The reviews left on how the ridiculous the final was were accurate. Your life has to absolutely revolve around art history if you want to get a decent grade in this class. Probably gonna have to get my grade expunged from my record. Do not take.

Winter 2016 - Her lectures are increadibly insightful she pushes people to speak their "opinions" on the works of art being discussed. There are 2 tests, one visual analysis and one research paper. Taking her again in the spring for 121C. For art history beginners, this class will set you up nicely since there is not that much workload. For art history majors, this is the class you take with other classes that will take up time because it is really not that hard. Participate a lot in class. She never puts anyone on the spot though so don't worry!

Winter 2020 - This review is for AH 121D. Her voice and wordiness seem to bore almost everyone in class because, as someone has stated, she often tries too hard to look for words, hence failing to sound eloquent. Her grading was harsh, and she did not offer feedback as to why you got the grade. The instructions for the assignments were vague, and then, students submitted something she was not expecting, and they received bad grades. She does not even attempt to remember the names of their students, which I felt was alienating. Overall, I would recommend staying away from her classes. Other professors in the art history department care more about their students and have far more enriching courses that you will look forward to attending. Her classes left me with a bad experience in both Renaissance and Baroque art.
