I loved Prof. Packert and her passion for Asian/Mughal Art. It was very evident from the beginning with her style of teaching. The homeworks are very reasonable with occasional 300-500 word reflections that you are given a week to complete. I did find the two exams, however, to be difficult, since for both of them, we had to write essays based on pictures she discussed in class. For me personally, I only did really well on them since I memorized everything I was going to say and took really good notes. You also don't know which pictures she will select as she gives a variety that she could choose. That would be my only critique, but it really is an amazing class and I would highly recommend this to anyone interested in Asian art.

This course covered way too much material spanning way too many years. We had a constant rotation of different professors teaching guest lectures which at times were interesting but also quite boring. Lenius only specialized in African art, everything else you would be better off learning on your own from YouTube. The exams were ridiculous and required insane amounts of memorization (a third of the class got in the C range). The positives are that Lenius allowed the last exam to be optional, and the homework did not have to be done. If you are taking this class, take it with friends you can study with, and do not expect to leave with a great foundation in art history.

Professor Garrison is great! She is very passionate about the course material and cares about the students' interest in the course as well. There are three papers that are around 5 pages long each throughout the semester. There is reading for each time you guys meet. I will say the readings are pretty heavy, so give urself some time to read those, she will also mix it up with some videos once in a while.
