Feedback
“The structure of lecture PPTs helps us have a comprehensive understanding about art history methodology. Professor sometimes expands beyond the class material in her lecture to help us better understand / learn more. Exhibition catalogue final project is more creative than usual final assignments.”
“I really enjoyed the content! Each lecture was thought-provoking and well organised. I also enjoyed how the professor gave the lectures, gave historical context as if she was telling a story, and was willing to interact and build off of class discussions.”
