I've had Jill for online AH101 and she was great! So knowledgeable, a really fair grader, cares about her students, and is really passionate about art history. I had her this fall for AH311 in person, and she's just as great but yes I do think she needs to switch up her lectures a bit! Millions of slides in a dark room makes you sleepy

I took this class as an elective and I found it very interesting. Jill was extremely clear about everything we needed to do, making sure we were all on the same page 100% of the time. She was very understanding about technical difficulties, as this was an online class, and adapted accordingly. She is very friendly and always glad to help.

Great professor and great course! Enjoyed studying about art history hugely. Easy discussion posts, but not so easy assignments. Quizzes were a bit tight: 20 questions withing 1/2 hour, but you can use a book and Internet. Final exam was rather hard, but if you prepare questions she gives ahead of exam, you're okay. Hooked me on art history.

Really good teacher. A lot of material to learn in this course , however, if you do the quizzes every week and the one assignment that she posts every week and keep up with your participation, you can get a great mark !!! no midterm , but some timed essays to do online but they weren't too hard and were exactly as she explained prior.

Loved this class! Taking more. I've always loved art, but Jill made me love it even more. Liked her lecture style. I never really read the textbook because I made sure to take good notes. Jill is interesting, engaging,and passionate.

I thought Jill was awesome! She definitely has passion for what she teaches. No surprises on exams. Ppl that give her a bad rating probably just aren't interested in AH.

Great teacher, fills in the blanks where the text leaves off and can answer questions to most things involving the Renaissance. Would highly suggest for for first time and continuing AH students. As long as you go to class and read the text, there will be no surprises on exams or what is expected on essay's.

Took her online class, she is a great teacher and super helpful, but her marking scheme is very random and impartial, I was one percent away from the mark I felt I deserved and she couldn't really give me a good reason as to why. Overall decent prof, but is SUPER picky and random for marking

Jill is such an amazing prof, really clear and creates an engaging and enjoyable lecture that covers lots of material. Her exams were fair with no surprises, you do need to study as there is a lot of material on them however you will be rewarded! Also runs a great online course, with lots of feed back and constructive help.

I would definitely recommend Jill even for a 4 hour class. She switched things up by eliminating an hour and adding a very simple online discussion on a brief reading. She made the classes very interesting and even the students presentations were helpful and not a waste of time.

Jill is an awesome teacher and although i agree she does mix some things up she knows her topic and she marks fairly all you have to do is pay attention to the cultures behind the art and you will ace the exams!

OMG--can't believe we're talking about the same prof. I found Jill to be totally passionate, entertaining and inspiring. Sure she's a hard marker, but then we're here to learn, right? Can't wait to take another course from her.

Don't take a four hour Art History class because the time goes by very slowly and all you do is sit in the dark and look at slide after slide, after slide...yawn. Jill needs to mix it up a bit. Participation is worth 10%, but there is no participation because all you do is look at slides and listen to Jill lecture.

Found her classes very long and boring (lots of mixed of slides and ramblings) Totally unrealistic with her expectations for first year papers. Expect to work hard and not be rewarded very well.
