she's really nice, doesn't make you nervous to speak up

She's really sweet, goes over reading (tests all about class discussion). Not too many papers/tests.

She's the best!

She's really nice, but her ciriculum is a little bizzare.

One of the greatest and most helpful professors at NYU, and definitely the best in GSP, especially compared to others in the program.

Awesome teacher, her willingness to listen to your comments encourage you to speak up even more and also encourage you to want to do well. If you study for the midterms and finals ahead of time by keeping up with most of the reading you will be fine. Very intelligent professor. One of best in GSP.

SHE IS THE HOTNESS ... ONE OF THE MOST EXCELLENT GSP PROFESSORS. SHE KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT SHE'S TALKING ABOUT, NOT INTIMIDATING, EASY GRADER, VERY STRAIGHTFORWARD.

Awsome professor, was very interested in the well-being of her students. She makes the topics fun!!

She is very picky about her papers. Definately keep up with the reading. She does have favorites...

Loves what she's doing, great with explaining art, nice and funny all around.

Great Professor all around I would definitely reccomend taking her class. She's a great inspiration in so many ways, take the class, just don't take my spot!

Great Professor! Funny, and knows her stuff. The tests are very predictable, and she grades papers fairly easy. She makes the somewhat boring class material interesting, especially for a required class.

Professor Davies is still one of my favorite professors at NYU. 2 years later, I stil love running into her and she still remembers me. Though the subject matter wasn't something that particularly interested me, I loved going to class and she truly made me want to excel. Cannot recommend her enough!!

Easy class based on discussion but definetely has favorites and encourages different ideas but in the end, wants it her way and only likes you if you agree with her

I LOVE THIS PROFESSOR!! She's an amazing teacher & person. One of the best I've ever had!! If you're looking for an major-entertaining class, look for another class. If you want to learn, take hers. Very encouraging and honest!! So accepting of different views & opinions that I never felt left out or discouraged. Highly, extremely recommended!!

Professor Davies is a really great prof. She assigns reasonably interesting books and her lectures are pretty decent too. She's extremely nice and helpful if you're having trouble, plus she's lenient with due dates for the papers.

An outstanding professor, who truly knows what she is talking about. Prof.Davies is very willing to offer help to any of her students as well. She seems intimidating at first, but is an awesome person as well!

Very nice woman and very helpful. Grade is based on three papers: two small analytical papers and one long research paper. Readings were pretty boring, and class discussion was somewhat boring. However, Prof is one of the best in GSP and the class is not that demanding

Davies is a nice woman who laughs all the time. She's a fair grader so you get what you earn. Participate in class once in awhile - she keeps that in mind when she does the grades. She tells you most of the material you need to know for the exams, but you have to do a little bit of reading. Overall, a fair and jolly teacher.

She is a really great teacher. She's the only one of my teachers that I am keeping for second semester. It's a lot of material, so you've gotta go to class, but she really cares about what she's teaching and is always really helpful. Has a great British accent too =) Take her. You'll learn a lot.

Davies is the best! Her british accent alone makes everything so much more interesting than it really is. We had 3 papers and 2 tests - they were all fair. There's a lot of reading and you really should do it. And you have to participate in class. But seriously, you will love her.

Love Davies. Subject doesn't interest me that much, but the way she lectures engages me (accent doesn't hurt). She is very smart--could listen to her talk all day. Very very clever. Three papers, very fair grader. She makes what could be a boring class interesting. Participation is a must. You'll hurt your grade if you don't speak up. Awesome prof.

Davies is such a nice, friendly, and humorous woman. She balances the reading throughout the course so its never overwhelming. 3 papers that weren't that demanding. She engages the class and likes participation. She always makes jokes and is passionate about her subjects.

Davies is really nice, but not my favorite. She assigns a lot of reading. A lot. But she is a really nice lady. Fair grader. To be perfectly honest though, I am definitely not going to take her again.

BEST PROFESSOR EVER. she doesn't believe in testing so she only assigns three papers. Grades fairly. She is SUCH a smart woman and is very clear and concise when she lectures. If you take a lot of notes from class, you can reproduce it in your essays and its an A! Participate though!

Pretty easy and not too much work. Readings are "required" but you can get away with not doing it. 2 short essays and 1 long paper. no midterm and a take home final (but this supposedly changes year to year). Make sure you at least bring the books/readings to class if you arent reading. She keeps tabs on who has it and will yell if you dont.

SO nice and such an easy class. Take notes, do the reading if you have times and then write the papers on whatever you found interesting. Always available to meet, extremely intelligent and nice woman. she hasn't lost any interest in the books even after all these years. SUCH AN EASY AND NICE CLASS. TAKE HER

Davies is a nice person but her class mostly consisted of her reading several paragraphs out loud from the book. She did not make time to meet her students-when the office hours filled up she did not provide more and discouraged us from emailing her.

No laptops in class; art history book is not used; class is hugely lecture based. Davies is pretty straightforward. She's passionate about the subject. We study visual art in class and through discussion rather than by reading about it in Stokstad. She provokes conversation and thought. Her class was enlightening and thorough.

One of my favourite professors so far. She is more interested in you actually learning something than grades, so it's not difficult to do well. She sends you out to visit museums and wants to to interpret the texts. A great prof!

Passionate, friendly, helpful, sweet, clear, intelligent, and BRITISH. She's a great professor whose classes fill up ridiculously quickly. Take her if you can. One of the best I've had at NYU.

So nice so helpful so perfect! This lady's class is how you get your money's worth at NYU. She is so wonderful. I can't express my admiration for Linsday B Davies enough!

Nice Professor. No technology. Reasonable Readings. Easy Essay topics - lenient grading. You must PARTICIPATE so attendance is mandatory. Enjoys students going out of their way for traveling assignments. Easy A. I would take her again in a heartbeat.

Easy EASY A. All I did was interpret works, make stuff up and wrote it well. A lot of classes revolve around no reading "art interpretation" days. And all she really wants is participation and good ideas. You don't even have to really read - as long as you know the plots.

She's wonderful. I took her 20 years ago for a Humanities workshop, and her passion for the material is not only contagious but extraordinarily helpful. Highly recommended.

Prof. Davies is a great lecturer and she's very helpful on assignments and papers--just make sure you book office hours ahead of time. She makes class interesting and the material she picks for the class is always interesting. Just be ready to participate. Always cheery and kind yet still commands respect. Definitely would take her again.

Took her as a freshman for a core class. It was alright; she could get a bit strict and sassy at times in a way that wasn't too funny. But, she is a fair grader and teaches well. Never looked forward to her class but never resented it either. Wouldn't recommend but wouldn't bash.

I took Professor Davies for my CF II requirement. Exceptional teacher, very informed about the material w tremendous insight. Aim isn't to suffocate students with work, rather it's to make sure that students are well-informedabsorb the material. Definitely take her if you have the chance. Assignments pretty easy, take- home midterm. No regrets!

Prof Davies is good, insightful, but sometimes intimidating. Grammar matters a lot; it lowered my grade from A- to B+. Overall, I enjoyed her class! You have to work for it! Btw you have to buy the book or she might call you out

She's one of those professors that will take the extra time to meet up with students outside of class to give extra help on a paper or just talk.

As long as you show up, and make sure to reference back to the material of the class in both your essays and exams, the class should be an easy A. She is very profound in knowledge, and exceptionally well-spoken. The readings are easy. Not much homework, and the midterms and finals are pretty easy. Go to class.

Probably the best teacher I've had at NYU. She is so interesting and brings the material to life! Extremely fair grader, and lots of class participation. Highly recommended!

Prof. Davies is your standard "above average" professor. She knows her stuff, knows how to teach it to you, and genuinely wants to help you succeed. Readings were fine in CF1, but you need to do them to gain anything from the class. Overall, if you care about learning you'll do fine, and Prof. Davies will like you.

Davies obviously is super passionate about the material and really wants her students to share that passion. She's super caring and wants everyone to do well. There's a lot of reading but if you do it and take notes in class the essays and exams should be pretty easy. You definitely will not regret taking her class.

I feel like just three tags isn't enough to describe what an amazing professor Davies is. She is passionate about the material and her love for it shines through and gets students excited for the readings. SO helpful if you go to office hours. Just an amazing teacher and person. Words cannot encompass how much I adore her.

Professor Davies is awesome. She gets really excited about the material and makes students excited too. She encourages particpation and there is reading but it's a pretty light courseload. And she's not at all a tough grader. She's really great and I wish I could take her class again!

Prof. Davies is so very nice, highly respectable, LOVES her field. It's mostly discussion and speaking up in class is very important to her. PRO TIP: youtube performances of the plays you're reading. It will save you--the content is actually really interesting and is easier to absorb and talk about in class that way.

Lindsay is a wonderful, caring professor. Very generous grader and gives helpful feedback on assignments. Class lectures are engaging and thought-provoking. She truly cares about the material and the subject. Wish I could take again!

I knew I'm gonna love her when I had the first lecture. To be honest, she is really a good prof, though I don't think it's an easy A for international students. But if you try hard, she can sometimes give you exceptions and make your efforts worthy. She is good at teaching and has a clear syllabus to follow. LOVE her and wanna TAKE HER AGAIN!

She's super caring and I barely read. Her grading is a bit tough and random, but if you show that you care she'll bump up your final grades (I don't know if I deserved it). Ended up with a A, super nice. Still need to do some work but not a crazy amount.

Professor Davies is such a lovely person! She's incredibly caring and truly wants her students to succeed. She's basically my aunt. Just be aware that participation is important in her class; the more students are engaged, the more fun the class will be!

Choose her and you won't regret! She is organized and follows her syllabus. Her classes are discussion-based, but it is not hard to participate. Her ideas about women, power, and artwork are refreshing. She will guide you through the text from a unique perspective. Have lots of choices on papers and exams. Understandable to international students.

Very fortunate to be one of her students. Always accessible through emails and office hours. I went to her office hours twice this semester to get approvals of my papers. She is extremely helpful and even sends me useful links to follow up. She is overall a fair grader. Her class definitely deserves your hard work, so don't hesitate to choose her!

Professor Davies is one of the nicest, most understanding professors ever. If you're interested in the class content, she is always willing to "show up" for you and listen to your interpretations. If you're less interested in the class, she'll be understanding and try to facilitate engagement for you. Just show up with respect and a good attitude.

Stop scrolling and listen. NYU, this woman is a godsend. I've never expected a professor to care about her students as much as Davies does. I had her the semester of the Coronavirus outbreak, and the amount of compassion she shared with her students was flat out inspiring. You can tell she loves her students and her job dearly. Also an A1 educator.

I wish I could explain how amazing Professor Davies is but my characters are low so I'll get to the point. She makes you love college, you'll always remember her and her course. She cares, she loves to help. She makes you excited to learn. She gives good recommendations if you participate and let her know your interests. Take her please!!!

Davies is a great professor. She gets kind of emotional but she truly does care about her students. If you are struggling, reach out, because she is very understanding. Its better than suffering in silence and she is more likely to be nicer when grading. I dont care for ancient art much, but she made it SO interesting and I loved her class.

Professor Davies is the BEST! She really cares students and is the most accessible professor outside classes. The course may be boring but the inspirational thoughts offered by her really makes the course super interesting! Take her if you can and you won't regret it! 100% recommend.

A lot of reading, which was expected for this class. When online/asynchronous, you really have to hold yourself accountable for all the independent work. She was extremely understanding and helpful if you reached out, which is why I would 100% take her again.

Professor Davies is a very passionate teacher and you can tell that she is very knowledgeable about what she is teaching. She makes sure to explain the work and is very organized and sticks to the schedule. Participation is key and doing the readings helps a lot. This class is easy to get an A if you put in the effort and she is very understanding.

Had her during zoom university 2020, great teacher. Easy grader and picks very interesting material to cover & discuss. There is a fair amount of work but it's very spaced out, TAKE HER!

TAKE HER! Took her fall of 2020 and still email her all the time. She could seem intimidating at first but she's a very very nice professor after all. Just do the reading, post the posts, write the journal, and say something in class. Loved writing the journals because she did read them and provide caring feedback. Will definitely taker her again!

One of the best professors at NYU! Class was super organized, and still dynamic. Prof. Davies really reads your work with genuine interest and gives great feedback. Work is minimal, but meaningful. Great class and great professor!

Such a knowledgeable woman! I am so glad that I took Professor Davies during my first semester at NYU. I love her and her classes. She's very passionate about what she teaches, which makes everything interesting. I never thought I would enjoy a class about death so much. She does not take long to answers emails. Take her!

A very caring professor that enjoys her class and students. Just showing basic interest and passion in the topic or work assigned will get you a good grade in the class and impression with the teacher!

If you like discussion-based and heavy participation classes this is for you. A lot of reading for homework so it's important to do it to contribute to class discussion. I'm glad I took Davies because she is very organized in her teaching and pushes you to do really close reading. A really sweet woman as well.

idk y the reviews r so harsh. she assigns daily readings so make sure to do them since she will discuss them in class. sometimes you can skip the readings and do just as fine. she provides a sample midterm or long paper for you to get a gist of what she wants so idk y ppl are saying it is "unclear". otherwise she is a sweet lady take her :)

One of the best professors I've had. Class is very much discussion-based, so if you don't like speaking up, this might not be the class for you. Assigns readings for every class but other than that, no other homework. A fairly easy grader and gives sample exams and essays so you know exactly how to approach it. Def take her if you can!

Professor Davies is very sweet and respectful of students, encourages participation, gives excellent feedback, and wants you to succeed in her class. 2 papers, a presentation, a mid-term, and an exam are what you are graded on. Participation really matters so if you want to have a good grade, answer questions and do the readings.

PARTICIPATION IS EVERYTHING. You have to talk a LOT to get an A. Had a B+ 1st quarter despite having all As in written work. She said I needed to talk more still - I did and got an A in the end. Great lectures. Easy essay assignments that she gave great feedback on. She can be quite blunt.

Lectures are very organized and inspiring. Professor Davies really wants students to speak up in class, so participation is an essential part of grading. (Got an A- in midterm though all my written work is A) Very nice when you reach out for help. Gives great feedback on assignments.

Loved her! her lectures helped me understand the reading on a broader scale. Her attention to detail and her background knowledge of the context of each written work makes you appreciate the novel on another level. wish I could take her again

She is very nice but her grading can be tough sometimes. You just have to figure out what she likes to read about.

She is an amazing teacher who is super passionate about what she does, which is revealed through her knowledge of the subject. You'll do well if you engage in the conversation and follow her instructions on the assignments. Make sure you commit to assignments and don't do it at the last minute, and you'll easily pass. Overall would recommend!

Davies is a really nice lady. as long as you participate during class and read the books (so you can actively participate without sounding like you read off chatgpt), you'll be fine. she can be blunt if she cannot follow your thoughts (in class and on your papers), so have tough skin

Overall, she gave me high grades. I'm really happy about that. However, she is definitely tough one. Participation MATTERS A LOT. IF YOU DON'T TALK, I'M SURE YOU WON'T GET HIGH GRADES. She is not easy.
