(If taking for comm b credit, I'd recommend maybe taking something slightly easier if you aren't interested in art/literature history). Bonus points for her fun british accent, also says very funny things. Overall a great professor!",

She adds to the lectures with her own experiences as well, which are fascinating. The grading criteria is sometimes confusing and there's a lot of out-of-class readings, but overall a great class.",

The homework that we did have were four short essays and she didn't grade most of them until the last couple weeks of school which was a bummer. She is not a harsh grader though.",

She opens your eyes to an entirely new realm of thinking and adds humor while synthesizing art and culture through history. Listen to her lectures - purely for your own learning, not just for the grade. She taught me so much.",
