She provided the list of artworks to be studied and mostly we just had to memorize approximate dates, names, locations, materials, function, and culture from the textbook. Grading criteria was clear and she replied quickly with very helpful answers when emailed. I liked the course, maybe because I took it out of interest (not forced for my major).

Dr. Bauer is an interesting prof who seems to be really interested in art history, the only problem is that she doesn't know how to translate that into her teaching, so her teaching is good, but not great. The tests will be easy if you go to class and read the textbook. Some test questions can usually only be answered by what she says in lecture.

She definitely knows thoroughly her material and is passionate. The problem is that she cannot convey it properly. Her powerpoints are vague and disorganized. I followed the textbook's way of organizing the material and did fine.

Loved the course and Kaarina! She's so adorable, and so helpful. Her tests can be a little difficult, and you have to study hard for them. Make sure that you write down a lot of what she says in the lectures, as that is always what she tests on. Would recommend the textbook, and would totally take a course with her again!

I took this course as a GPA booster and it definitely did help. Kaarina is probably the nicest and best teacher I've had at UofC. Our tests were very easy (T or F, name of art) Going to class is sort of a must, but you could get notes off of the textbook as well. She changed format of the tests once she knew we were all struggling with a part.

Friendly, intelligent teacher and she wont hurt your GPA as she is a kind grader!

Would take again!

Dr. Bauer is a wonderful prof, she is kind, caring, extremely approachable, and NOT snobby (like many other profs at UofC.) She provides a lot of time to help students outside of class, as she wants her students to succeed. We had 5 papers, and 4 test with no final. I would recommend taking ARHI 201 lecture with Dr. Bauer.

Great proof she is very caring and understanding, is very clear with what is expected and puts feedback on D2L to do better on assignments, tests are very easy if you simply read the textbook and show up to class, would definitely recommend!!

great option class and great prof, very easy marker

Although there is a lot of material to know for her exams and 5 written assignments, Kaarina is a prof to die for: In lecture, in brilliance, & in humor. After being at the university for 3 years now, Kaarina is one of the most helpful profs I've ever known, as she really does care about her students. I hope she will become a full time prof!

This professor will give students a superior understanding of Art history. She is caring, passionate and will bend backwards to see her students succeed! I wish she taught my entire bachelor because she is very knowledgeable. She is not a easy marker but a helpful one, as she provides a lot of feedback on assignments. Kaarina, keep being you! :)

She's the most enthusiastic cutie who loves art history. She's just SO EXCITED about this topic and wants you to do well. No tests. No quizzes. Just 3 reading responses, 2 class discussions, a research paper and a mind map of the course. Quite a bit of work but totally worth it!

I will be graduating soon with a BFA in visual studies & Ms. Bauer is 150% the BEST prof within the department! She is hilarious, smart & approachable. She cares for he student & will help them succeed to the best of their potential). But, beware as this class is graded on papers, mind map, and participation. NO TEST! Ms. Bauer is a true prof!!

BEST PROF EVER AT UOFC! A lot of writing but very interesting information about art and architecture! :)

I had the pleasure of taking 2 courses taught by Kaarina & both classes (ARHI 201 & ARHI 327) were truly interesting. Kaarina is exceedingly passionate in art & architecture and did a wonderful job teaching the class. This seminar-style lecture has 6 papers, 1 peer review and 1 mind map. Take any class with Kaarina, you will not be disappointed!

Dr. Kaarina is an amazing prof's I have ever had the privelege to meet. Kind, understanding, and exceptionally fair. All Kaarina ever asks is that you attend class and treat her with respect. The rest of U of C ***THE ART DEPARTMENT*** could learn from her! Thank you for everything!

She is the best human being on Earth! So caring of her students and how were doing! She is so understanding of other course work and how it can pile up. A little bit of reading but you control what you read. No textbook for the course or test. Bakes awesome cakes for class so were not stressed out. Fair marker with assignments!

I found her to be a tough grader. However she will spend the time to help her students in any way possible. 10 out of 10!

I know that it's rather early to rate professors, but Kaarina is an amazing one. Just by attending 2 classes, one can notice that she is very passionate about teaching art and architecture! She is also organized and good at explaining the material, making it easy to follow and take note. This class is graded on 4 test and 3 written assignments.

She's the kindest woman alive. I know that a lot of people find the lectures to be a bit dull, but if you are very passionate it about Art History and take the course seriously, her lectures are structured in a way that makes them easy to follow. She's very understanding and will take time to help out students individually if they reach out.

The BEST prof. ever! I used to hate any type of history, but Kaarina taught me that Art History is worth learning & loving. For marks we had 4 test worth 10% x2, 25% x2. We also completed 2 photo-essays, worth 10% each & a paper worth 10%. She is a caring prof, so if you're having issues or under extreme stress, go talk to her. Would recommend!

The sweetest prof. I have ever had. The class is extremely easy, you just need to show up to class and listen to what she has to say. Very soft spoken so if you have a hard time hearing I would sit in the front. Lovely human being, kind soul. Assignments are easy and tests are even easier.

Really kind and caring prof who goes above and beyond, and cares about her students. She gives you a list of potential images for her tests, which makes studying stress-free. She's always looking for ways to improve her teaching as well, and is really open to feedback. Would definitely take another class with her!

Kaarina is a sweetheart. She genuinely cares about students, and wants us to succeed. She is very accessible, and open to feedback. Assignments were graded fairly easy, and she will help you develop ideas if you ask. Exams are all memorisation of what is said in class. Textbook is optional if you attend class, if you don't, it's your saviour.

Has such a passion for what she's teaching and she really knows her stuff. She was an amazing professor with great enthusiasm. I really thought I'd be sleeping through this class, but she made it so interesting. She is very caring! To bad she is sessional because i would take a lot more art classes with her. Take this class with this prof!

This is my 3rd class with Kaarina and hopefully it will not be last! She is passionate, knowledgeable and organized. Her course outlines are alway very clear (compared to the other profs in the art department, which are vague!) She also very helpful. We were graded on 3 papers (10% each), a midterm (30%), mindmap (20%) and participation (20%).

Don't have much to say really. She's the best teacher I have met. Very funny, caring approachable and critical indeed.

Dr. Bauer is one of the nicest prof within the art department. If you attend her office hours, she is very helpful with telling you where you need improvement and is a very encouraging prof. Overall I enjoyed her class, and would consider taking other classes with her as the prof. I would highly recommend that everyone should take a class with her!

Awesome prof. Kept my interest even though the class was pretty early in the morning. Very funny. Very open to interaction with students and hearing and reading your interpretations & ideas during lecture and in the written assignments. The text book is also very interesting to read.

Kaarina is a treasure from the Department of Art. She is very eloquent when speaking about the works in her lectures, and has a fabulous vocabulary and style of rhetoric. It is evident she cares about her students and is exceedingly understanding. Fair evaluation with the written assignments; however, the tests were excessive (152 MC).

Take this Prof's classes! She is an absolute gem! Very passionate about art and architecture history. She was very approachable and provided great advice to improve my writing skills. The best prof. at this university!!!

She is so sweet. She really cares about students and is easygoing about giving extensions when you're swamped with other classes. This class was a lot of memorization, but overall pretty interesting.

Prof. Kaarina gets really into every piece of art she discusses, even if it's not necessary for the exams. Good notes are a must, but her assignments are pretty easy to pass. A very helpful prof who is also accessible outside of class. Too bad she is only a sessional instructor, because she is a wonderful art historian!

BEST GPA BOOSTER EVER! Prof. was knowledgeable, assignments (test and written assignments) were pretty easy. Ignore the negative comments because this prof. is a gem!

Kaarina is passionate and explains particular and general ideas. I learned a lot apart from the course content, about writing. Really liked her lectures, very detailed.

I took an art class with Averns, which I hated! I told myself that I wouldn't take another class offered by the Art Department. But, I am so happy that my friends forced me to take this class with Kaarina. Not only is she the best prof at UofC, but this class is a great GPA booster. A lot of memorizing, but the material is interesting!

EASY A! I rarely went to lectures, she would post the images that would be on the test later so I would just read about them in the text. I found the text online a vitalsource USA for $30. The written assignments are easy, just time-consuming. She is really approachable and has good office hours. Definitely recommend for a GPA boost!

such a wonderful prof. I am taking another one of her courses next semester. she is so caring and kind to all her students. Be warned this lady has the most soothing calming voice i have ever heard if you are tired she will put you to sleep.

Although this class has written assignments, and I hate writing, I was still able to get an A-. She truly cares about her students and their overall success and therefore is one of the best teachers I've ever had! I am also taking her 203 course next semester. Take this class (or possibly, any class) with this prof. you will be amazed!

Really incredible professor: very knowledgeable, passionate, and offers a very clear rubric for all assignments/tests. Show up to class and take notes and you'll do well.

Truly a u of c gem, best proff Ive had so far. The written assignments are an easy A, and the test are much the same. take this proff

The reviews on this site state the truth! Really good prof. Makes sure you understand the topic and invites discussion. She's quite engaging. Fair marker as well! Would highly recommended his class to anyone since it is a huge GPA booster!

She really cares about her students and hopes for everyone to do well. If you put the effort in, cite the textbook, study your class notes you'll ace her class. She is very helpful and approachable.

She gives great lectures, and provides a ton of information about the artwork and artists! I've taken her courses for 201 and 203 and I'm honestly sad that she doesn't teach more upper level courses because she is truly a great lecturer.

Great teacher. She tells you exactly what to study for the tests. Gives a week extension for assignments no questions asked. And no final!

She was a very nice prof. She gave extensions right away and did not ask for a reason or anything. She gives you a certain number of images that could be on the test and then from that she will pick like 12 that will actually be on the test. If you pay attention to lectures tests should be easy. I do think the TAs marked the assignments a bit hard

Best professor I've ever had. She is nice and really cares for her students. The content is easy to learn and she sets everyone up to pretty much get an A. Extensions for due dates are possible. The feedback to assignments are great so if you don't do well on one, you will definitely do better on the next. She loves teaching.

I've taken 2 classes with her (arch 201 & 203) both were non mandatory electives, I really enjoyed her lectures and she is such a sweet heart. super understanding and will give an extension always! her assignments are clearly outlined and as long as you put in a little bit of effort you'll ge a high grade

Awesome Prof! She is generous with extensions and overall really seems to care about the students and wants everyone to get the best grade possible.

This class is a lot of fun. The assignments are interesting and thought provoking. The lectures are fascinating once you get used to them and learn how to keep up to her. The textbook is not mandatory although having it is super helpful. It is actually really interesting too and great for understanding the time periods a little better.

The two assignments were very interesting and relatively easy. She gives a list of possible images for the exams so I stopped going to lectures and just studied those using the textbook. She does give aesthetic responses randomly which are worth 10%. If you don't mind sitting through long lectures then you'll probably find hers really interesting.

My favourite prof so far in my college career! So enthusiastic, bubbly, kind -- you can tell she loves what she does. The pieces studied were so fascinating + outline/syllabus was very clear on what was expected for essays & tests. I was always looking forward to the lectures. If I could take this class over and over, I would with no hesitation.

Kaarina is so passionate about her work its amazing. Theres a few in class participation assignments, but theyre not even graded. She gives word for word answers in class about tests, and she gives you a list about what exactly is going to be on her tests. Fantastic!

nice professor, test is easy

Bauer is the most caring prof i have had, she truly wants her students to do well and her lectures are amazing. She is very passionate about the material which makes it so fun to listen to her teach. Woul highlly recommend this class for a GPA booster, would 100% take it again.

Dr. Bauer is so kind, and clearly want you to have the highest grade possible. Offers extensions really quickly and is always eager to answer any questions you may have. Sometimes she rushes through content that ends up on exams, but if you are missing notes, she'll give you the information when asked.

Dr. Kaarina-Nancy Bauer is the biggest beauty you will meet at uofc. Incredibly understanding and accommodating of course loads, and she is clearly knowledgeable of the subject. She provides students with vast resources necessary to succeed, including a study guide, which basically tells you whats on the midterm. Take the class with her!!

The nicest lady! Her assignments and tests at the 200 level are extremely straight forward; if you attend her lectures and read the textbook you could easily get an A on every assignment. She is also very understanding and flexible and is not a prof that makes you feel uncomfortable when asking questions or requesting clarification!

Dr Bauer is extremely caring and only wants to see you succeed. Take her class, show up to lecture, and you'll ace the course! Also, she's extremely willing to give week-long extensions on assignments, which is a plus!

The best prof you will ever know!! Super helpful and in love with what she teaches. A great person as well!! The courses she teaches are super enjoyable if you are one of the Art History courses lovers! Highly recommend to take courses with her.

Great prof! She is so enthusiastic about her teaching it makes the class so interesting and fun. If you attend lectures and put the time into assignments and studying the art pieces for each test you'll do great! Kaarina is so kind and I would 10/10 recommend!

Dr. Kaarina-Nancy Bauer is the best prof I had this winter. Her lectures might bore you, but she delivers it with passion and they are easy to follow through. Exams and assignments are easy as long as you read the textbook. Shes an easy marker and she is one of the professors I know who genuinely cares for their students. Totally the best!

Dr. Bauer is actually the nicest professor I've ever had! She's pretty lenient with her assignment grading and gives out a lot of extensions. Some of the questions on her tests come out of the blue and aren't in any of her lecture notes or the textbook, but otherwise, this class was def an easy A.

Easy A for non-majors. Dr. Bauer is the most caring and easy-going prof you could ask for, she's lenient with extensions and genuinely cares about her students understanding the class. If you go to lectures, you don't need to purchase the textbook because her lectures are very detailed. Would definitely take a class again with this prof :)

I loved taking Dr. Bauer's Art History course this semester!! Her lectures were amazing, and delved into fascinating details on the selected art pieces. I enjoyed the assignments for this semester, and that she answering my questions quickly. Would definitely take a course taught by her again!

Kaarina is a gem. We need more profs like Kaarina on campus who are passionate about the subject they teach and most of all, caring and kind towards her students. All the feedback you get is constructive criticism, and it is clear what her expectations are. Do yourself a favor and experience the classroom where Kaarina teaches.

She is amazing! I already signed up for her other classes because she is passionate about what she does but also is very forgiving about late assignments and will get you very clear feedback. But tbh I barley tried in this class and I got a A so I would definitely take this prof if you need something to lighten your course load.

I adore Dr. Bauer she is one of the best profs Ive ever had. She genuinely cares about all her students and will do everything she can to help them do well. Her lectures are very interesting with lots of great visuals. The assignments are straight forward, if it has a visual aspect, focus on the aesthetics of it, balancing it out with solid info.

Dr. Bauer is a very kind and respectful prof. She's always there to help and she's very lenient when it comes to extensions. I will say, for ARHI 201 there are assignments that take quite a lot of time to complete so be aware that it does require a good amount of effort. She's a fair grader and she's definitely passionate about the subject.

She is super nice and will always help or give you a extension if you ask! only bad thing I have to say is that she doesn't give very clear instructions to get a A+. I did exact what was asked and I got A's in the projects and I found out if you want a A+ you need to go above and beyond so add extra things to your projects or write a lot more

Kaarina is the most kind and caring prof you will ever have. She goes above and beyond to make sure her students are fully understood assignments. Will answer emails fast and often. Favourite prof ever.

I don't want to say this was the easiest class I've ever had, but it's definitely the best I've done in any. Kaarina is a very kind and respectful prof. who isn't opposed to giving extensions depending on circumstance. If you have the chance to get her, take it!

Kaarina is probably one of the best profs I have every had. She is so kind and shows that she truly cares about our wellbeing. She is super flexible and is willing to give extensions whenever you need them. You do need to put a bit of extra effort to get an A+ but it is not difficult whatsoever. Definitely recommend!

I adore this woman. She is an amazing prof, and knows her stuff. Super resourceful, accessible out of class and willing to help you succeed. Her class was an option for me, and by far one of my favourite classes yet.

An amazing prof who really understands what students are going through right now. Really interested and passionate about art and what she's teaching, never really felt like a slog as she did a really great job at making the material interesting. I truly appreciated how she made her students were doing ok and kept up with it throughout the sem.

Such an amazing professor who really cares about her students and their well-being. She was very understanding of the challenging transition to online classes, and almost all the assignments had an automatic 7-day extension that really came in handy when you were busy with other classes. As long as you put in some effort this class an easy A.

Kaarina is very kind and helpful. Although I did not find the class all too interesting, she was never the cause of that (I guess I'm not too much of an art history kind of person). Make sure that you stay on top of your assignments as they can pile up at the end of the semester. All of that said, it should be very easy to get a good mark!

Kaarina is probably one of best professors I've ever had. She's very caring and understanding about each and every one of her students. The coursework in this class was mostly personal responses so it was very easy to complete assignments efficiently and get high marks. In the future, if I ever have the chance, I'd love to take her class again!

The best prof ever!! A very knowledgeable prof as well as her lovely personality. Very caring, respectful, appreciate your efforts, very generous with her time to students, really passionate about her work. I can't expect better of a professor like Dr. Kaarina.

Kaarina has been the best Professor I've had yet! I attended lectures and did the assigned readings at the same time, class was a breeze and easy participation marks.

BEST PROF EVER. She is so sweet and really does care about her students. Assignments are all given to us with a 7 day extension which is so helpful.

The BEST prof. Kaarina is so caring about her students and sets them up for complete success, she is enthusiastic about the courses she teaches which makes it even better! The outline and expectations are clear, as well as grades are given back quick with good feedback. The assignments are fun and don't feel like a hassle 10/10 recommend! :)

Best prof ever! She is so kind, thoughtful, and understanding. Lectures are well done and interesting, assignments are very straightforward, she provides super helpful study guides, and the tests arent too bad. I highly recommend taking a class with her! Shes universally loved and feels like a ray of sunshine.

I loved Prof. Bauer!! She inspired me to take more arhi courses. Truly lovely and helped facilitated a sense of community even over Zoom!! She was super accessible outside of class and very very good with feedback. Really sets up students for success!!

Kaarina is an angel. I was fortunate enough to have her for my very first university level class (ARHI 201). She was helpful and gave me every tool I needed to succeed. Such a kind woman <3 anyone is lucky to be in her class.

Really awesome teacher. Good lectures and really flexible. I managed to learn a lot in her class and I'm a STEM major.

she is a very nice prof. She grades very fairly and does not at all give pressure to students. All the assignments are creative and fun to do! put some music and do these assignment as a relaxing thing!! DEFINITELY an excellent prof that will help you boost grades

she is a very nice prof. She grades very fairly and does not at all give pressure to students. All the assignments are creative and fun to do! put some music and do these assignment as a relaxing thing!! DEFINITELY an excellent prof that will help you boost grades. ARHI 203: no exams and no quizzes: only creative assignment and some posts on d2l

One of my favourite profs at UofC! So happy to have taken this class with her. She's incredibly caring, understanding and loving of her students! Gives a week extension automatically to anyone who needed it for almost any project. Super engaging and knowledgable, what a gem! I highly recommend taking a class with her if you can, THE best prof!

Her assignments are very fun and easy to do, she genuinely marks you just for putting in enough effort and passion. Majority of the assignment criteria are posted in the beginning of the semester so you can complete them early on when you have more free time. Plus she posts everything on d2l which is super accommodating at these times.

this is my third class with Bauer because i love her so much! take anything you can with her

She was very lovely, passionate and knowledgeable about art history! Was a pleasure being in her class!!

Yes, the assignment rubrics are vague but if you seek help during office hours, you will more than likely get a better mark bc of the clarification she provides. If not, just email her. She marks hard but is fair. You need to make a good effort for a good grade. It's not a class where A+ is handed to you. She is passionate, lenient, and friendly.

I really enjoyed Kaarina's lectures. I found the content interesting, and that she was very warm and caring. She was very good at answering emails with questions I had about assignments which helped me improve. There weren't any tests which I was really grateful for considering I had a very heavy course load. Overall, I had a great time!

Attend lectures, take notes, be creative & thoughtful with your assignments, reach out to Kaarina for clarification as needed, easy stuff. This prof wants you to succeed and is accessible, flexible - if treated with respect. You get what you put into this class - don't let the negative reviews scare you away. Would take a class with her again!

Kaarina loves what she does and her enthusiasm is infectious! A fun and interesting class for the most part: there are many short written assignments that you do need to attend the lectures to do well on. If you want any feedback/clarification go to office hours, worth it as she's very kind and helpful: Don't email if your feelings are easily hurt!

Dr. Bauer is extremely knowledgeable and is always prepared to give a full, informative and interesting lecture. She grades by assignments which are clearly written with what she expects. She was always available in class, her office and by email to help. I would recommend her to any student who wants to learn about art history.

Kaarina is a very sweet and accommodating lady, who is also very knowledgable and passionate about art history! I liked that this class had no exams, and I found most of the assignments fun to do. I wish there was a bit clearer grading criteria though. You definitely have to go above and beyond to get an A grade, and be creative!

Easiest class I've ever taken. Lectures were boring but honestly her slides online are enough for you to ace the assignments/projects. I did everything last minute and was still getting A's, that's how easy it was!

A super sweet woman but you will only do good if you ask her for feedback on your assignments before handing them in. Lectures aren't totally mandatory though except for the four small assignments that require a piece from lecture. Other than that its a chill class.

I loved this course! I'm an ARHI major, so maybe I'm a little biased, but I would take all my classes from her if I could. It was purely project-based, which I found interesting and I liked being able to be creative. She has some very specific grading criteria, so those who ignored them lost marks.

Unusual teaching methods, cares about the students

Unusual teaching setup, cares about the students

there a few assignments to do in this course but they are not hard if you pay attention in the lectures and use the same language that she talks in when writing. She is very well spoken when she presents and engaged me in lecture even when I didn't really care about the topics.

The class structure was one lecture and one in-class discussion a week - show up to and participate in discussions and you'll be fine! She posts her lecture slides on D2L so it's not a big deal to miss those classes.

Prof. Bauer has a specific grading system, but putting in the effort pays off. The creative projects are engaging, and using Unstuckstudy alongside the textbook can help you excel. Attend class and seek feedback - it's worth the A.

Her lectures are crucial imo bc she goes over lots of info that aren't on slides, you can try to search for info but it might not be accurate to what she's teaching. There's 2 posters which are marked v easily if you write lots about the pieces and their connections. Midterm and final were v easy to go through and she's such a sweet lady.

Dr Bauer is an incredible professor - she is passionate about the material she teaches and about helping students to succeed. Assignments are interesting to research and allow for creativity, exams are 100 Qs - not difficult but you have to study the lecture material to succeed (a list of possible topics is provided ahead of time). Will take again!

super sweet prof and incredibly helpful and cares about her students. 1 midterm + final and 2 art projects. as long as you pay attention and take good notes shes rlly awesome

Professor Bauer was very passionate about art history and gave amazing feedback on projects. However, her tests were awful. She only gave us 40 minutes to complete an online test that had 100 questions. On the other hand, she was open about her availability. She was also very flexible on deadlines as long as you submitted the assignments.

Very kind! Project examples were not useful, but projects are easy once expectations are understood. My class did poorly because many submitted both projects late and on the same day, so couldn't make use of feedback. Can also contact Bauer for feedback before submission. Skipping lectures is detrimental. Tough exams, but study guide provided.

She is honestly great! Took this class as an elective. Mid-term and final exam is directly from her class lectures. Easy to say if you don't go to her class and take notes, it will be a difficult class. Relying on powerpoints only will not help on the exams.

Professor Bauer is one of the most caring professors I have encountered so far in my degree. She always thanks us for attending lectures and sincerely offers her help whenever needed. Extensions are available for every assignment in this course. Her passion for the content is demonstrated in her lectures, making them worth attending.

Had Katarina for an intro class and also a 300 or 400 level ARHI class too. What a captivating, kind, and caring professor. I love Kaarina and her classes were so interesting. She is lovely!

materials are clear in what she is looking for but she talks about everything related to the artwork regardless if it is important to the tests or not so you have to pay attention to which parts are relevant but overall still doable if you know what you are looking for

A 90-minute, 150-question final exam sounds insane, but that's the reality of this course. Also, be prepared to lose your mind over a 100-question, 50-minute midterm.

As a science major, this was a fun and simple elective. Very flexible with deadlines and straightforward grading for each assignment; follow the rubric and its an easy 100. Definitely take notes on seemingly insignificant info during lectures and thoroughly memorize each piece (colours, location, stuff in the background, clothing, religion, etc.)

Kaarina is the most comprehensive professor I have ever had. She is always available to help and is happy to talk with students.

Such an easy class, 40% of your grade was on a project that took me 2 hours. Final exam was easy and online. The two other assignments were reflections in discussions and a course feedback

She is an amazing professor. I ended up taking her ARHI 203 class before ARHI 201, but this turned out to be one of the best classes I ever took. It was very fun to learn about all of the art pieces and she explains everything very well. As long as you pay attention to her lectures and take notes for each of them, you will do amazing.

My poor mark had ZERO to do with her. Dr. Bauer is generous with her time, flexible, loves her subject (especially Italian Renaissance), is well-travelled and multilingual. Final exam content was perfectly clear, giving examples of everything that could be tested. I gained an appreciation for styles and periods that I thought I did not like.

Great professor, but a lot of content is covered in a short time, so please keep in mind before registering, especially if taking other demanding classes.

Dr Bauer is a genuinely kind, caring and compassionate professor who is very clearly passionate about the topic she teaches. The lectures tend to be fairly long, but they are in-depth, well-organised and detailed. Tests are memory-based and simple, but can have some fairly tricky questions. Assignments are straightforward and easy.

Dr. Bauer is very knowledgable in art history and has a dynamic teaching style that draws you in. I looked forever to all of her classes, despite the monotonous nature of the content. Halfway through the semester, the format changed to group presentation lectures which made the course very interesting if you are invested in the content.

Only got an A+ because I carried my group mates. If you aren't willing to carry your group for the term project—best of luck.
