Comment:

I liked her as a person! The course is pretty interesting just a lot of papers and research, but that is what Discover New York classes are for. She gives you 4 papers throughout the class and 1 midterm and final. Some of the assignments are difficult not gonna lie so idk if i'd take her again. She sends you at sites in NY which are fun.

Comment:

Albert is by far one of my favorite professors. She is the GOAT. She's so enthusiastic and is very easily sidetracked. If she likes your class and you participate you'll do fine. There is a good amount of work in the class and she's very picky about grading but nothing to be worried about. There is a lot of trips to go on but they're easy.

If you don't mind taking trips to the city every weekend and paying to go into museums you'll be fine. classes were so LONG, very boring. nice professor but the class was horrible. community service is also required so make sure you do that. no laptops allowed in class only notebooks. wouldn't recommend.

The class is generally pretty easy. However, she is utterly uninspiring. I havent benefited at all from this class. If you want to be truly captivated by a DNY class, dont take this one.

Comment:

Prof. Albert's lessons are informative and interesting. She values the opinions of her students, so participation counts. However, her assignments are really time consuming. No tests, just creative/research assignments. She makes you visit several sites in NYC, on your own time. It's annoying and time consuming if you're busy during the week.

I love love love Professor Albert! I took her for Honors DNY (waterfront was our focus), and she is the sweetest, most caring woman. I thought this topic would be boring, but her passion made it so interesting and I learned so much. There is a decent amount of work in the class, but I was so proud of everything I did, and I would take it over again

She's a very good professor. The only thing that I'm not really happy about is that she is a very tough grader. If you make at least one spelling mistake in one of your essay projects, you automatically lose points. But then again it's called proof reading it. I would recommend her.

Such a wonderful lady. Her waterfronts class was amazing. Always got out early, a few papers throughout the semester with clear guidelines, but let's you be creative. Midterm and Final projects. No tests. She really gets you out and exploring this great city! Super passionate about the subject, and overall a very inspiring person. TAKE HER!!!!!!!!!

Professor Albert is wonderful. She is very passionate about the class and that definitely enhances the course. We had 4 writing assignments/papers and 2 projects, the workload is very manageable and if you pay attention and do your work you should have no problems. She is so nice and understanding & I really respect her, would definitely recommend

I loved her! She's so inspirational. Sometimes her papers felt like a waste of time but I actually learned a lot more than i'd like to admit. She also takes you to a volunteer site which i highly recommend you go to. All in all i loved her and i really got to express my opinions in this class. I say take her.

She is a great teacher and gets you very involved in her lectures. Be sure to always ask her for help if needed, she will help you! If you're thinking it's an easy A, think again. You need to be able to write well. It's only an easy A if you put the effort in. If you don't, don't expect that A. A paper due almost every week but 1-2 pages mostly.

I loved her DNY class! It was Art and Architecture of NYC and it was awesome. She gives weekly assignments ranging from 1-3 pages long but they are easy to write because she gives a clear rubric. Keeps the topics interesting and shows she cares about the students in her class. I wish I could retake her class next semester!!!

Comment:

SO MANY PAPERS. I would have done way better if i was interested in art, but i just wasn't. She's a hipster, and loves brooklyn and the city, can get annoying. She grades a little tough, but it was an honors class and i barely did the work so. lectures can be booooring. she can be kinda hot.

you need to put a lot of effort into this class, papers due every week or two, she grades fairly and if you put the effort into it you'll probably get an A, she's a really nice lady

Personally I had no interest in this class what so ever. She is very clear and straightfoward. If you like Art, yes take her. Other than that she grades way too hard for a Discover New York class. Seriously its not that serious.

Such a great DNY class. There are a lot of essays and site visits, but she's very clear in her directions so they're easy. As long as you follow her rubric and put in a little effort, you will get an A. Classes are interesting and Prof. Albert is a pleasure. Take her if you have the opportunity.

Very professional, great person and understanding. Makes you have a greater understanding and passion for art and architecture. 1 midterm, 1 final project, about 4 other essays/papers about art/architecture. You definitely have to put in work, but if you like art, you won't dread it. Strongly recommend taking her. Great professor

She is a great prof. Very into her lesson. A bit too much if you're not into DNY but she teaches you interesting things about NY and makes you go around the City so that u can have a true Discovering NY experience while doing her assignments. Few papers, final presentation, nothing too hard. Be enthusiastic, do the assignments and you;ll get an A.
