Katy Smith Abbott

I loved this course! Professor Smith Abbott is incredibly engaging and knows so much about the art and history of Venice. She even inspired me to travel there! She is a great professor and really wants her students to learn. She gives just the right amount of work and you are never too stressed. The exams can be difficult but she gives you study guides and you can always meet with her for some study tips. If you pay attention in class you should do well.

I absolutely love Katy Smith-Abbott, and this class. She is very passionate about her teaching, so I am so sad to see her leave as a professor. I loved learning about Venice, and all the culture and arts that came about during the Renaissance. The class is very lecture heavy, and students have to pay high attention to what she is saying so we can get notes. She is very willing and enthusiastic to help students with any difficulties or clarifications.

Prof. Smith Abbott is the best, and this is a fun course. Through the class discussions (about philosophy, when you boil it down), I felt I got to know my peers well, and people shared vulnerable things. Some of the guest speakers were fascinating, others were boring. Prof. Smith Abbott has a knack for connecting with students and leading a class—she's personable and not the slightest bit shy or awkward. The final project (creating or leading something awe-related in the community) was a great opportunity to be creative.
