Eliza Garrison

Prof Garrison is very knowledgable about Medieval architecture and there is so much fascinating content to learn on this subject that you don't be bored. But sometimes the course dives too deep into niche scholarship rather than the art/architecture and history itself. Assignments were manageable and graded fairly.

This is a great class for those interested in the more architectural side of art history. You learn a ton about gothic architecture (mostly in germany and france) and also brush up on your christian iconography. Garrison is such an enthusiastic professor and brings a lot of fun energy to each class. Her lectures are great (if sometimes a bit disorganized). There can be a lot of readings per class, but other than that the class is not super difficult. Garrison does have high expectations for written work and can be a tough grader, but I think the class is totally worth it!

I really enjoyed this class. Sometimes the lectures felt a little long, but Prof Garrison was super passionate and always made it super interesting. It was clear she really cared about her students, and was super accommodating and nice. The course is fairly reading intensive, and at times it can be a lot. The papers are probably the most difficult part of the course, and you definitely have to put a lot of effort into them to get a good grade, however, I would say that they are pretty fairly graded, she just has high expectations for students.
