for art and society she is a fantastic professor. she definitly knows what she's talking about and she tries her best to help you understand the material. she definitly has her own opinions, but doesn't force them on her class. great prof. i'd take her again any day.

i was never interested in art history, but she changed that. she is the best professor ive every had!! she has her own opinions and some people thought she was rude, but she is funny as hell. really easy going with the grading, and even let us redo a huge paper that was do!! i would take her agian!!

i don't know what u guys are talking about. it was definately not the easiest class but prof davisis very resonable and the work is not too bad..a lot of reading but only 2 papers..very intersting class

fantastic professor. don't take her if you don't know how to think or work. easy if you like art history. she has strong opinions of her own but if you can back up your own opinions she'll listen. she definitely knows what she's talking about. She won't tolerate idiocy or lateness-expects you to act like a mature college student.

Its to bad the subject is interesting and the teacher sucks. she only likes to hear her own voice and talks over her students which is highly irritating. Good luck if you want to ruin your idea of art which is supposed to be meaningful. In this class her annoying attitude will make you belive its usless.

She's difficult, but not tough. The material is tough and it's not her fault she teaches rather than spoonfeeds. Very nice and proactive to help her students.

great professor and class both times i've taken her. she really knows her stuff and goes into a ton of detail when explaining things in class. however, don't take her if you want an easy class. she expects you to pay attention and won't put up with dumb excuses or questions. 2 mandatory museum trips are great don't take class if u can't go on them

This is a really exciting class and I got WAy into it! Teacher is casual, but also a hard -ass (in the good way) rewards the real students - no need to have studied art at all, just to do the work and be curious/not an idiot. VERY helpful outside of class and fair - seemed understanding to one girl who had a REAL emergenecy.

This is a junior level class with junior level output expectations. You need to actually do the work in this class to succeed! The Prof does a good job of maintaining your interest, only one paper and no final!! The Prof sets you up for sucesss. Great class! Don't take it if you are looking for an easy A though, she challenges you to use your brain

Best teacher i have come across so far. She stays on topic and brings interesting information beyond that of the text. Allows students to explore their interests. Will only excell if you take the class as seriously as she does. Homework sheets simple and the readings were actually worth it. Great.

good prof. professional in principles and takes HER job seriously, along with my work. But she's fun, nice, a REAL person (COOL?) and SMART. wants to see each of us get smarter, I felt.

personally i think she is great. she may be somewhat tough, but she just wants you to learn! i am taking her again in the fall.

I've had Prof. Davis two times. The first time, she scared the pants off of me. The second time, I loved her. She's very knowledgeable, entertaining and wants you to learn. If you're willing to work and learn, she's the professor for you. But if you're looking to slack off and not participate, don't bother - she'll call you out on it!

She is a tough teacher but knows a damn lot. I'd rather a teacher who will tell me the truth then let me sail along. She is tough because she wants everyone to be great but maybe it comes off wrong. dont expect an easy A but expect to be proud when your done if you get an A

great prof - FUNNY, reaL PERSON. GREAT COURSE STRUCTURE - LOTS of work but she assigned is all semester long, not in a single exam or paper. no final, 2 short papers, homework due most weeks. very flexible, but not with ****.

American art class - essential to anyone who plans (like me) to teach in any US schools. I worked pretty hard (not hardest) for a B. no easy A. Prof really integrated art w/ history, politics, other areas of life. Also dealt with the ART in ways that sharpened my eyes. good readings, good assignments. I learned a lot, and she cares. but I

M.Davis, is wonderful, life changing professor. She will prob. make you work harder than you will for any other "art class" but you will the world completely differently once your though. She's the teacher you will tell your kids about.

Great prof, totally educational class - cant wait to use this material when I teach social studies! My notes, homeworks and outlines will be amazing resources. Prof understanding when I had an emergency, but knows **** when she sees it. FAIR, and NOT BORING!

this class totally works. no punishing exams, no memoriation - instead, she expect you to read, think, talk. do the work, focus, stay on it, you can get a B at the least - no need to have prior expertise, just stay on it. IF you have a brain, a B+ is attainable, and better if you can think outside the box and speak up a little

Women and Art history was one of the best classes I ever took. great discussions, and prof actually changed syllabus to reflect students' areas of interest! We visited two major museum exhibits, wrote reviews, read about lots of issues, and learned about a ton of artists! Easy to talk to, lenient on assignments, she gets it that we're all overworke

this is what college is all about. Ideas, opionions, challenging work. She helped me with readings, and in my research, I learned a ton.

i took her as one of my GenEd. class and it was horrible. if you are like me that does not have much intrest in art or history do not talk her. she makes you read bunch of pages(15-25), give you hw about the reading. when it is time to teach she is all over the place and talks about everything else but the work & major slacker!

Professor Davis is awesome! She assigns a lot of work/ reading but it is a readings in humanities and writing intensive course so you should expect that. She lets you redo any paper below a B- and she is super cool during discussions. Take her!!

This professor made Readings in Humanities interesting. My one complaint is that we covered a lot and that is not a complaint, b/c it wasn;t boring that way - but we often did not finish a topic before moving on. But that made things interesting - we did not stall out on a topic. Movies, books, essays, buildings - she mixed it up really well.

This professor was VERY helpful. semester was chaotic due to weather and she was as confused as we were at times about our schedule, but she made us all feel OK and accepted work late, etc. I learned a LOT and not just about art, but also about how to read better and study and take notes. in the classroom it felt OK to ask her to repeat or explain.

This online class fit my schedule. It was great because although online, we spent 3 half days at a museum. so cool. Assignments were very well organized, and she often extended deadlines. You have to be ready to work every week and "Show up" for discussions and other HW but this was a great online class for the busy student. Easy B, A possible.

Although I usually hate group work, in this class, I worked well with others on quizzes and article analysis - she made it work. Deadline extensions are there if you ask and teacher takes feedback. Class is interesting and lectures really good. Readings outside of the textbook were good, since we really HAD to do them and talk about them in groups.

Fun class. lots of discussion. Teacher is on your side. I felt like she was really rooting for me.

fair. respectful. FUNNY. at least I wasn't bored. But I had to do ALL the work to pull of a good grade.

Not at ALL boring. Do the work - this class has lots of small assignments, but no giant finals, no giant papers. You do learn a lot. Trips and other projects break up the lectures.

Class was not boring. Hard to keep up with smaller assignments, but I'd rather have my grade spread out over a bunch of stuff than ALL exams. tests fair and easy to prep for. She really helped me with my writing.

Good experience. Easy enough to do well if you did the work. This was an "extra" Class for me so it was a low priority. But I still pulled off a B+-- still, you cant miss ANY assignments. Dont be absent for group work or you get a zero.

PRetty easy to do well: Show up, raise your hand, put in DECENT effort on the assignments. Assignmetns are frequent but not too hard. This prof takes this class seriously and will not respect you if you do not do the same. But if you are on your game and trying, you get a LOT of credit for that. You get some good habits that help you with college.

I took her for my FYS and I absolutely loved her. She definitely makes you work for your grade but she teaches you how to think your own thoughts instead of going for the generic answer. Her class could be boring at times but her energy makes it better. I would definitely take her again.

She is a great professor. She is funny and you can tell she relates to the students. There are readings to take notes on but the materials are interesting.

Professor Davis is a great professor. Her classes are fun and the discussions are always interesting. The work is not overbearing and I did not have to dedicate a huge amount of time every week to do well in this class. Take her class if you can!

All tests are take home. repeat: all tests - and all deadlines are flexible if you need more time! But - DO THE WORK. Dont even THINK about texting in class. You easily get a B, and an A is within reach for anyone if you work for it. I learned so much about architecture, art, and history. I feel educated on a new level.

I am taking Museums Studies and I like the way it is run like a seminar. We choose research topics, follow our interests for some assignments. I've had health problems and she has been super understanding. I still have to do the work, but she removed the stress (and deadlines). We have interesting discussions and the readings have been good.

Very serious, caring professor - also fun at times. She explains the stakes - you don't feel like the tasks are pointless. Gives the serious students a LOT of slack - extensions and re-submit options - but if you are on your phone all class, and miss assignments all the time - GOOD LUCK PASSING.

I LOVED THIS CLASS!! Online texts and lots of videos make the learning easy - reading is assigned in "bite size" peices. Prof gives extensions on deadlines if you just ask... there is work but she is very forgiving when life gets in the way. Class flies by because the material is cool and her lectures really link to things happening today.

I got a high grade -prof very supportive. She gave me an extension on one big assignment. Also there was an extra credit assignment. Material was COOL and classes half discussion based so time went quickly. Take the IMPRESSIONISM class! she lets you do art projects for final project instead of paper!

I never understood everyone's issue with her, I think she's great! Never was a history person, let alone art history, until I had her. She gave me my personal philosophy and is so educated on everything she talks about! However, VERY tough grader and takes up the entire class to talk about one thing. But she keeps it interesting! I like her!

I took this for a requirement and was not psyched but it was great, with projects like a social media post writing assignment and a museum visit that counted for TWO class sessions. The midterm was not easy but also no surprises. The prof gave me an extension on one assignment no questions asked. Easy-ish A-

THis prof was so flexible and understanding about deadlines. Also, I appreciated that she didn;t make us wrote pointessly ong papers, and that exams were take-home /open book. I think she cared a lot more about us learning then traying to put us through the ringer. we also got to give input on one of the assignments which was a relief.

Deadlines are flexible, and exams are open book. Her standards are high, but I know she let one student who bombed completely re-do the midterm, so she will help you out if you need, and the lectures were funny and expert.

This professor actually let me re-take the midterm. No joke. I was a mess and completely bombed and she reached out to see what was up and let me do the questions I had left blank like a week later, and only took off a point on each. So human.
