Misty Kaplan

I had an amazing experience with Misty. She is very accommodating, passionate, approachable and down to earth. This class was very project heavy but very manageable in my experience. I found the class/projects to be more enjoyable when I gave myself enough time to complete them, but procrastination lead to very long, tedious nights. The projects are not necessarily easy. They push the boundaries about what you think you know about architecture. While she grades easily, the projects are still conceptually challenging and can take several hours to complete. Misty was blunt with her critiques but kind enough in her delivery for me to actually apply her feedback and get better results. After this class, I am considering a degree in architecture.

Misty made me declare architecture as a major, and is the best professor I have had at Middlebury, despite it being her first semester ever teaching. There was an incredible emphasis on learning to learn, rather than learning for a grade or some specific result. She taught the class with passion, and with the intention of creating a community within the class. There was a significant amount of outside work, especially towards the end of the semester, but it was all work I enjoyed. I am looking forward to taking additional classes with Misty.
