It doesn't really matter if you pay attention in lecture or even attend at all, you can make it through the text. Makes you memorize long abstracts of text for quizzes, which is pointless, and her tests are unnecessarily hard.",

Her sarcasm can be very offensive at times, and she is not very funny. If you have any opinion that does not mimic hers, I wouldn't share it. Any slight interest I had in art history has been diminished by her. Good luck.",

Gives excellent feedback for the papers and is a generous grader. INsane abouts of reading expected but you can get by if you don't read all of it. ",
