Comment:

Trippy. Likes to talk. But has a class and an aura of intellectual charisma. I like her. but she is very psycological in her attitude with students, uses mind control tactics. reward and punishment. reward will talk to you nice. punishment will not look at you or will look at you with a sharp look.

She speaks in circles... every sentence, or lack there of (every lecture is a large run on sentence) ends where it began and seems to be totally off topic.

Comment:

(Spoken as Masha would) Visualize with me -> "Et"... from the Greek cohesional phrase "To Eat" ... "Kind" derrived longitudinally from the Anglo German term "Kinder- or Children" together we reveal the true nature of the name Etkind.. "To Eat Children" there you go... not a very nice person indeed, the proof is in the facts.

It is interesting to see how little she knows about history. She is full of herself and unfortunately she is completely incompetent as a prof and as professional.

Comment:

She is simply great. Although many people don't like her, (for being a hard marker), she has the ability of pushing you forward and helping you to create and understand a good deal of design. Perfect prof for good students who really know what they are doing.

Comment:

We nicknamed Masha "mash-up" in 1st year because of her harsh critiques of studio projects. This is her greatest asset though: she'll tell you if your design sucks and why. A fair marker. She's a female version of Simon from "Idol". She really knows her stuff and genuinely cares about the students.

Comment:

This one splendidly represents the typical character of the architecture faculty: apathetic, ignorant, belligerent and above all incompetet. Her ability of delivering a meaningful lecture on architectural history is nugatory.

She enjoys making people feel stupid. I would even call her 'mentally abusive' to her students. She teachers history well but thats about it.

Comment:

I like the way she speaks, the language is very bright and you can see that she is thinking about each phrase, sometimes though it is too philosophically and would be better if she would say more about particular examples.
