Lots of fun - very inspiring and informed.

acts "nice" but really "evil". does not believe in bell curve. -_- class very useless for fashion students.

Awesome class.

I loved this class.

I loved this class. It was fun.

I loved her. She was so funny.

She's fabulous - too bad about the stupid people in her classes.

She was the best teacher I ever had. This course was awesome.

This is the best course at Ryerson. If you fail this course you are stupid.

I loved her. This was my favorite course this semester.

This is my favorite class.

Awesome prof...she was extremely helpful. Just go to class and you'll be set for the midterm/final exam.

I love her. She's hilarious, and very smart, and genuinely wonderful prof, not to mention human being. The was the best class I took this year, due entirely to how energetic, enthusiastic, and non-judgmental Mimi was.

She was fantastic! Anyone who fails this course is a major loser. She made it so easy to study for the tests.

Wow! Way better than Scalzo. Everything is really clear. Fun.

Didn't fall asleep even once in class! She KNOWS what she's teaching, she makes it fun too! Very clear and helpful. Definitely better off with Mimi than Julia!

Wow! It was like night and day compared to Julia. I loved her. She's fair.

I found this class very interesting thanks to Mimi, even though I don't like the subject. She has been to almost every place she talks about, and I thought that was awesome. if you need help don't be afraid to talk to her, just be honest about the problem and she WILL help you! As for the exam, now that they are essay type, just know the topics ;)

Take this class! If her beauty doesn't encourage you to pay attention, perhaps her incredibly broad and deep knowledge of art, history, and all lines drawn in between, will keep you on task. If you put in the work of being there, following the themes, and correlating with the book, you've an A. Plus: There was a hot invigilator for final exam.

Wow it was nice to hear about the latest design for a change! She understands what's important. Easy to study for midterm

Mimi has to be the BEST professor I ever had at Ryerson! I'm still taking classes there but doubt I will ever have a good teacher like her again. She made art history really fun for us to learn (not that it wasnt fun to begin with) but she kept it at a level that it was interesting to learn art history and not just memorizing dates, artist names..

I overall enjoyed her teaching although the material was quite dry (all the dates and places of the artwork were tedious to memorize). Overall a pretty good experience but I wouldn't recommend taking this liberal unless you're amazing at remembering dates and making up some BS about spirituality and religion...

Good Prof

ART HISTORY HAS NEVER BEEN SO INTERESTING OR FUN. Honestly, she's one of the best profs I've ever had! Especially compared to Julia Scalzo...

Mimi is a dream to learn from. I have seldom met somebody as enthusiastic and passionate about their profession as her. She is honest, passionate and empathetic. She is 'cold' only if you have a weak personality and are not able to get her to relax or let her guard down. I recommend her class just for the experience of interacting with her.

Truly an inspiration, her love and passion in art & design history encourages me to look and embrace history with a whole new perspective =)

Amaaazing! Her class is probably the best I've ever taken. Yes she may be a tough marker, but the material is so incredibly interesting, and she really knows how to pick and choose the best information to give us and make it exciting. She's a great prof and clearly knows her stuff. take her class!

Great, funny, down to earth teacher. She really tells it how it is and REALLY knows her stuff. Take advantage of one on one time with her, maybe an appointment to talk to her about assignments BEFORE you hand them in and make sure you are on the right track, she is really helpful and not intimidating.

Entertaining Lecturer, gives out all the notes you'll need. Essays are hard, rules very strict, but there are no English requirements in Interior Design, so someone has to teach us how to write. Rude and condescending by email, everything seems easy when you talk to her in person. Believes her written instructions are crystal clear, not always so.

Very interesting course and Mimi is great at keeping it interesting and helpful. She has very specific expectations for her exams and essay but before each she makes it mandatory that you send her your thesis so that you don't fail. Its an easy course, just make sure you follow her very detailed outlines for each assessment and ask her for help!!

Took both IRL 100 and 500. She is intimidating and not overly friendly. Very sarcastic and cynical. A very hard marker and her expectations are not always clear. Still, very fair and the best professor I've had. She is very funny and her lectures are fascinating!I would pick her courses regardless of what they are just to be in her class again!

Very interesting class. Good preparation for grad school work. I did not fall asleep in class, thank God for that. She definitely knows her stuff well. Somewhat friendly. I think she needs to have better preparation for students before midterms and final exams..

I've taken both of the liberals she teaches and am sad that she does not teach more liberals...super awesome and extremely knowledgible!

One of the best professors at Ryerson. Intelligent, funny, knowledgable on more topics than most professors at Ryerson combined. If you attend all classes she gives you the opportunity to get A+. Took both liberal classes she teaches and honestly would have loved it if she taught more. One of my favorite classes at Ryerson ever!!

AMAZING. She is incredibly smart and inspiring. She's hard but you learn SO much, I'm taking her upper level and hope to have her again. She knows her information, and is respectful. I absolutely loved the class, learned so much, and so inspire.

Mimi knows her stuff. If you attend her classes and get to know and understand the material then you can do well in this course. The material is interesting and I took her IRL 100 class and found it useful for IRL 500. Just come to the classes, follow the instructions and read everything you're supposed to and you can get a minimum of an A-. Really

Mimi makes the course very interesting and I found taking IRL 100 useful prior to this course. Material is heavy but interesting. If you do everything you're supposed to, participate often and can easily grasp the material then you can easily get at least an A-! Really not that difficult.

Amazing

Probably one of if not the best classes of university, she is so smart and inspiring. Absolutely amazing. She makes you work hard but it's very rewarding.

This class may be more difficult than some electives, but it's definately worth it. Very rewarding. Learned a lot. Inspiring.

Mimi is one of the most enthusiastic and gifted professors that I've ever had. She is clearly passionate about her subject matter and digs deep to deliver an interesting (and educational) perspective on the topics within the course. She is also a fast marker, keeps her promises, and she's funny.

I absolutely LOVE attending her lectures. So inspiring and you learn SO MUCH every lecture. She is funny and very knowledgeable. And extremely helpful when you are having trouble with the course because she wants everybody to do well. Essay requirements and the weekly readings are pretty heavy for an elective but it is rewarding. LOVE HER!

Great Prof. I imagined art history to be boring but she makes it so fun, you actually want to go to her class. She doesn't have a textbook and just gives notes which are GREAT. The essay and 2 quizes are fair but are also a bit tricky. But they aren't torture, you actually learn from it. Overall just AMAZING!

AWESOME prof! Finds amazing information and delivers it in a funny and interesting way. She related art to important concepts and was very fair in understanding that not all students do well on both essays and tests, so she offers mark replacement. If at all interested in art, ABSOLUTELY take this course with Mimi

She will listen and can be reasoned with. If you show her respect and attend to all her classes, you'll do well. Very helpful in 1 on 1 critique. No textbook is used.

Mimi was a great professor! She is engaging, personable, and makes the whole course worth it. She understands students in summer courses are busy with other things, and makes the course as easy as possible while still making it a worthwhile learning experience.

The exam and midterm were multiple choice, but not meant to trick you. All the material is easily accessible and she breaks down each module really easily in lecture!

Mimi is a really great prof. She's hilarious and makes learning about art and design fun. There's some participation required but as long as you do the work and go to class, no worries. I highly recommend taking a class with her.

Mimi is not only an amazing professor, but a wonderful person. I took IRL 100 with her last year and it was also awesome. She's funny, approachable, and open to new ideas. Yes, there is a lot of material to memorize, but she's really clear about everything and wants her students to do well. I wish I could take more classes with her!

Mimi is really amazing prof and her classes are very enjoyable and worth going. However there is a lot of reading but she is always helpful. She is hilarious and drives our interest in the course. I took two courses in two semesters both liberals IRL100 and IRL500 and both were amazing.

AMAZING professor! She's so hilarious, while still giving you thorough knowledge on not only the art, but about the world in which the art was created. She's so passionate about what she's teaching and it really shows. You definitely won't be bored in this class! She doesn't believe in textbooks for this course, and provides all info and readings!

I would recommend going to all the lectures because the course covers A LOT! Just paying attention in class will go a long way in this course! She always makes it clear what is expected and points out what is important to know for exams. All of her notes are online along with the slideshows.

AMAZING PROF! Lectures are very interactive. Course requires a lot of reading but is so fun. If you enjoy world art, I'd recommend this course. She's very understanding when it comes to grading. An all around great experience.

Mimi is amazing! One of my favorite profs. She is very engaging, knowledgeable and funny. If you listen during lectures, you would get an A. I took IRL 100 and IRL 500 and got an A in both. She also reviewed my essay topic, and helped me with her suggestions. Your Essay or Midterm mark could be changed to whichever one is higher, if you wish so.
