I loved Prof. A! Her lectures were thorough/comprehensible. As an art history major, I found lectures interesting, but I can see how someone may find it dry. She clearly cares about the topic, her research, and wants all of her students to succeed. I emailed her outside of class, and she was quick to respond and super helpful! Take her classes!!

The class was lecture-heavy but manageable online. The final project was flexible, which allowed me to tie in a personal passion (yay!). Group activities could be a bit frustrating due to reliance on others (especially in discussions). It was clear that Prof. A really cares about the topic though, which was nice to see.

The professor was definitely passionate about her research and well educated. However, the lectures were very boring and hard to sit through most of the time. There were a lot of readings but can get by without them. I would only recommend this class if you're actually interested in the course work otherwise you'll suffer with tedious material.

Very knowledgeable and caring, but the lectures themselves were super boring. Not really necessary to attend. Though there definitely were some gems, they were buried in unnecessary stuff and tangents. Overall a very understanding and easy professor

- Go to lectures especially after the mid-term - Get done with online exhibition as soon as possible, it takes up a lot of time during finals week - Readings are super helpful - Make flashcards for the art, it will be super helpful for exams (Grading is super easy) - Discussions are super useful and mandatory - IDK bout office hours,I never went

Best professor I had at UW-Madison and by far the best professor in the art history department. Everyone should experience taking a class with Professor Andrzejewski. She is so passionate about the content, the lectures are engaging, and she's so approachable. She is sensitive to everything students are going through outside of class too.

Don't know why people suggest this course. BUT She has a distant, rigid tone in e-mails. Though fun, I feel like she has repeated the class too many times and doesn't care anymore. CHOOSE THE RIGHT TA! Mine gave me 0 feedbacks, poor quality discussions, and strict grading. My peers with another TA who is nice, approachable, and gives good grades.

Prof A makes lectures really interesting. The writing assignments are a lot of work and difficult (depending on your TA). Exams are hard but not unfairly.

Prof. A is great. This class covers a lot of material but her lectures are very interesting so it seems like less. She is a great lecturer- very succinct and is often very funny. Would definitely recommend A lot of memorization though.

As an art student, and someone who is very interested in art history, I was really disappointed by lack of nuance this class. If you know literally NOTHING about art, this is the course for you. Things seemed overly simplified, basic, and incredibly repetitive. I learned INFINITELY more from a 100 level Art Department Foundations course.

My major is not related to Art History in the slightest, but Prof. Andrzejewski gave interesting lectures and I learned a lot about the field. Overall a solid choice.

My favorite prof this semester! Super passionate about course material. She is the reason why I decided to do my second major in Art History. Everyone should take this class!!! It's super easy and extremely interesting. Light readings and easy grading.

If you have any interest at all in Art History and/or need humanities credit take this class! Although it covers a lot of content (important movements in art from 1450- present day) the lectures are energetic and Anna is so passionate about the field. This class teaches you important skills of descriptive and comparative analysis. Favorite class!!

loved her class. very interesting. took the class because it was a requirement but it became one of my favorite classes. go to lecture and take notes and you'll be fine

AH 202 is a great. There isn't too much reading and its relatively easy to get a good grade. I think the in-person sections (as opposed to the online ones) give better information and have the better TAs. I have Michael who is the first TA who actually made me want to go to discussion section. With him and Anna, I decided to become an AH major. A+

Professor Anna was one of my favorite professors I've ever had, and the class was amazing even if it's not my major. She tries really hard to make the material interesting and accessible to you, and it's fairly easy to get an A. It was clear how much she loves the subject, and quite infectious. Take this class!!

Professor A is one of the best. Her expectations and grading couldn't be more reasonable and her lectures are engaging. There is a fair bit of memorization (70+ paintings) but only two short papers and two exams, all of which come with no surprises.

I loved every minute in my class with Anna. She made a subject which could be very dry (art history) interesting and exciting to learn about. The test take some memorization but with her teaching style in lectures and some studying they are easy to pass. The grading is fair and she stresses that she is there to help not hurt us. Take this class!!!

She's very clear and down to earth. Not convoluted. She likes when you raise your hand and participate. This isn't part of your grade but it'll make everyone's life easier if you break the silence every once in a while.

One of the most influential and inspiring professor I have ever had in my life. I was so lucky to take her class during the 2015 spring semester in UW-Madison. She deserve this best review I have ever written for a professor.

Andrzejewski is absolutely fantastic as a lecturer. This class is a great introduction to Art History, and it's very interesting and engaging. The TAs grade most of the work, so it depends who you get, they vary in harshness. I loved this class, and would definitely take it again.

I took her for 202, and she clearly cares and knows more about Modern Art than things which came before. Going to lectures is clearly useful, but they can be long and awful. But as the year went on her lectures got better. Tries to be there for you if you need her to be.

Very clear and interesting lectures. The class is a lot of memorizing (not all, but a lot). Two tests, two essays, and a virtual exhibit. The discussion section is worthless, but mandatory. I had issues with the essays, but mainly because I misunderstood the assignment. Make sure you know EXACTLY what they want from you when it comes to essays.

Fantastic! Professor Andrzejeski does a great job making a hard to teach class intresting. Her tests are straightforward and she makes a point to go out of her way to help students. Not only is she fantastic at speechs but extremely helpful in office hours as well. HIGHLY recommend her.

Lectures are interesting, concrete, easy for students who had no art history knowledge to understand. Excels at what she is teaching. Attend the lectures, memorize what is requested, and you will get an A.

She was interesting but you didn't need to know anything that wasn't in the book... so therefore didn't need to go to lecture, just the mandatory discussion.

Anna is the best professor I have ever had- she wants you to succeed, is straightforward, and her lectures are concise and easy to follow. And, you actually learn and REMEMBER things about art history, information that usually goes in one ear and out the other. I always try to take her classes! She is the best out of all AH teachers!

Prof. Andrzejewski and Beverly Gordon co-taught this class, and I am glad I was assigned to Anna. She is the more laid back of the two, and I think her normal classes would be more enjoyable than this one. She is also more down-to-earth than many of the Art History professors I have had.

She was indeed quite passionate about art history, and I learned some things that made me appreciate The Renaissance ever so slightly more than I had (which I didn't at all). However, she is repetitive and has a voice that, in a dark power lecture, can lull you to sleep. Class was worth taking; I enjoyed it- but study! She's a nice professor.

Anna is one of my favorite professors. She is passionate about art history and is extremely clear in her teaching and her expectations. She makes class fun and intellectually challenging. She's always open to talk in office hours, and she has, in my opinon, the best approach to studying AH; strongly grounding the material in social context.

The people who rated Dr. Anna poorly clearly didn't want to work. She knows her stuff, is smart, fair, and wants students to succeed. But she can smell a slacker from a block away.

Her lectures are interesting, well-researched and current. I really appreciated that she placed art in its historical context and I learned a lot. Her standards are high, both for herself and her students, and she was applauded at the end of her last lecture - a rarity in my experience. Highly recommended.

I hated this class, I love art, but my appreciation for it was not enhanced AT ALL by this class (diminished it more than anything) The professor has a monotone drone that puts you to sleep and every work of art was "truly a work of its time" or "truly revolutionary". I love art but hated this class...

I loved this class! Professor A was definitely one of the best professors I've ever had. She is passionate about what she teaches which makes the class interesting and inspiring, she is extremely clear with expectations, and she relates well to students. She is a wonderful teacher--she wants us to learn and tests/papers reflect that.

I'm not sure what's up with the other rating for this prof... she was one of the best instructor's I've ever had. She presented an eclectic and fascinating course on the history of American Vernacular architecture (yes, most of 2000 years of architecture *is* vernacular). Projects were actually fun and the fieldtrips she organized were outstanding.

A complete nut-job. Calls 2000 years of architectural history "vernacular." Sorry but your methods are already done by sociologists and historians of technology and the subaltern. Stick to your Rembrandts.
