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 took this class to fulfill my art and history requirements. I initially thought it would be a very chill class, but I soon found out that her insanely high expectations made the class less fun. I was constantly trying to memorize and take notes of whatever the visiting professor mentioned. She covers a huge timeline and includes tons of civilizations. One main thing I think would improve the class immensely and make it more enjoyable is if she didn't expect us to memorize hundreds of art pieces and every detail about them, plus vocab from each era, and when it's quiz time, there are around 4 art pieces and 6 vocab. But she made the last quiz optional, which helped.

Eddie is AMAZING! I took this class for an art credit and it totally exceeded all expectations. His grading is labor-based, meaning that if you do the work, you get an A pretty much. The readings can be long and tedious but crucial in order to participate in the class
