Comment:

If you love the arts, you'll never enjoy it again after this class. She's one of the harshest graders I've ever had the displeasure of working with. Her syllabus is essentially one block of text stretching eight pages. She uses one of the worst microphones for her boring power point presentations that almost blew out one of my speakers. Don't do it

Comment:

HORRIBLE TEACHER. I am a great student and my teachers would agree. This teacher makes class annoyingly difficult. You can be the best student and can still potentially fail her course. Most students withdraw from her class. I wish the university would get rid of her. She said herself that I was a hard worker and gave me a disturbing grade.

Comment:

A lot of writing!!!! Be prepared to have a writing assignment, discussion post, or essay due every week. Essay prompts are very confusing and hard to understand. Chapter quizzes are easier because they come from the text book. Would not recommend this class to anyone who isn't an art major.

If you go into this class, expect to work ALOT for your grade. From personal experience, the written exams are easier than the online quizzes (the quizzes are usually very confusing). Expect to read the entire Art History textbook from start to finish; this woman knows every word in that thing and can tell if you use any online sources. Good luck.

Be prepared to write a ton of essays. You have to remember a lot of information and the book doesn't really help when you're taking your online quizes. Majority of the information comes from her online lectures.

Hardest class I've ever taken. If you aren't an Art History major,I wouldnt recommend this class. You have to spend a minimum of 8 hours a week watching her online power point lectures and reading the book to just MAYBE get a good grade in the class. I have never worked so hard for a mediocre grade in my life.

She's a pretty fair teacher besides the fact that she is so rude. It's like she doesn't try to be rude but its in her nature to be rude. If you are willing to do the work then you should be good.

This woman is HORRIBLE!!! I asked her a question and she flat out called me an undedicated student. She is not there to help us, she is there to talk down on us. She is rude and thinks everyone is an art lover and art major. Its time for her to go!!!

RUN RUN RUN!!! This lady is out of control. She grades very hard. I am in nursing school at the moment and my nursing class is much easier than this class. This is my first art class. She has seriously given me an art phobia. Please do not take this class unless you LOVE art with all of your heart and soul. I am PRAYING for a C! and I have a 3.7 GP

Comment:

No. Simply No. Do not take Tea Cup. She is awful. And you will probably end up dropping her ridiculous online art history class because she wants way too much out of art students. Not to mention her ridiculous class is online; for art history. Do NOT TAKE HER. EVER.

She is a very hard teacher. I am an over achiever and still think her art class is hard. She grades hard and her quizzes are insane. Her powerpoint lectures are atleast 100 narrated slides long. Waaaaaay to much work for an art class. There are numerous mandatory museum visits to Emory. She IS A GPA KILLER! HORRIBLE PROFESSOR

This woman is so hateful in her grading comments for her essays. She acts like everyone but her is an idiot. My grades are excellent and even had b's in her class but she can be extremely rude to her students. Sure I respect her professor status but I haave my own business so I am accomplished as well,she shouldnt act superior to everyone.

Comment:

If you are not an art major, DO NOT TAKE THIS TEACHER!! Her quizzes are extremely hard. Also her papers are ridiculous. She uses chicago format and requires way too much. I am a straight A student and dropped this class. On top of that it was an online class. I am warning you, DO NOT TAKE HER if you are not an art major.

Comment:

Great professor! Lots of work, but this is what college is for -- put in the time, work hard, learn A LOT! People who are critical of this professor are people who thought they could skate by without doing any work! Consider the source of negative comments! If you care about the subject and about learning this professor is hard to beat!

Comment:

She is extremely hard. I had her online for the history of western art class. Her quizzes were insane and she requires a lot of essays. She even told us that half of her students fail her quizzes and nobody gets a 100 on them. If you are not an art major then do not take her.

Treats low level classes as if they were high level. Ridiculous test and quizzes that seem to be only opinionated questions which are graded as right and wrong. I do not understand how she can grade art in this manner??

Comment:

I took her online honors class. Tough quizzes, and three to four exams that are essays. Her ppt lectures will make you want to die. She is an easy grader on papers, so I got an A in the class. But I would never, ever take it over again. Seriously, terrible ppt lectures. The way the class was set up online I made an A without learning anything.
