she is very open about being a staunch republican,and a ****,she won't bother trying to pronounce your name correctly unless its Joe or Steve,she likes to express her lack of tolerance for people who speak eng.as a 2nd language, she is pretty clear tho
Excellent teacher who loves her field and loves to talk and answer questions. Makes the class interesting. She's nice and friendly and always willing to help her students. In regards to the previous rating, she's actually very liberal and very Anti-Bush. (At least in our class...)
Very laid back teacher. Her class is very easy as long as you memorize the slides. You either fail or pass her class.
She is very enthusiastic about this subject. She makes the lectures fun. There are a lot of slides to memorize, which can either make you or break you. Overall, she's always willing to work with the students. She loves giving extra credit for attendance and community involvement.
i love her , shes the best art teacher you'd want to have. JUST MEMORIZE THE SLIDES OR UR FAIL!
THE EASIEST AND KIND OF FUN CLASS YOU'LL EVER HAVE. SHE'LL SCARE YOU FOR THE FIRST WEEK TO GET PEOPLE TO DROP THE CLASS BUT SHE CAN NOT GET ANY EASIER. I GOT LIKE AN A+ IN HER CLASS. JUST REMEMBE THE SLIDES. THERE ARE 3 TESTS OVERALL. AND THE SECOND ONE IS THE HARDEST. THE REST ARE VERY EASY.
SHE NEEDS TO LEARN THE WORD RESPONSIBILITY. SHE NEEDS TO LEARN HOW TO TEACH AND NOT MAKE EXCUSES WHY SHE DOESN'T WANNA LECTURE. I HAVE A TOOTHACHE, I HAVE THIS, I HAVE THAT. YOU KNOW WHAT THEN? TEACHING IS NOT FOR YOU. SOMEBODY CAN GET PAID FOR WHAT YOU GET PAID, AND DO A BETTER JOB.
A great teacher to have in your freshman year. Very in touch with her students and very helpful. Works well with students of all types and has a generally cheeful demeanor in class. She is also a dyed in the wool democrat though she is not one to harass republicans. Easy class overall.
Her class is really fun and clear. As long as you memorize the slides you will be fine. She knows what she is talking about. I really enjoyed her enthusiasm when teaching
The WOREST Professor to ever teach at gcc.Extremely annoying. She has A big mouth(Figuratively speaking)and wants everyone to think she fun. Please Don't take this class you totally regret it! she lacks the word responsibility in her vocab. She came to the Final 1&45 min. LATE!!!!!!!
Yup yup...it is true, she showed up 45 mins late for the final. All and all though, she is pretty easy just as long as you attend class you should do just fine. Only bad thing is she ALWAYS talks about politics and she thinks for the left side! better agree with her to boost up your grade.
I was scared about taking this class especially because I was taking 6 classes but it turns out in the end I get over a 100 percent on the class, VERY GOOD teacher, explains everything very well and makes the class very fun
She was and still is the best teacher at GCC. She is a woman who has gone through a lot and is not shy to share...to get an A I have one thing to say: REMEMBER THE SLIDES!!! If you do so then you have an A, also participate as much as you can in class.
If you are looking for ART 101 you got to take her.She is very helpful in class.You need to interact with her as much as possible.Just attend her class you will definetly get an A in class.Just talk in class pass comments sometimes you and she will enjoy it.
Dr. Abram is the best teacher I've had so far. She has a very pleasant personality, cheerful demeanor, and great enthusiasm. Pretty hot for someone old enough to be my mom. I saw her high school picture, man, is she drop dead gorgeous or what. I actually told her that, and she loved it. She was awesome, Dr.Abram thank U for everything that you are.
Dr. Abram is a great and enthusiastic instructor. She cares about the material and its modern application. She makes learning entertaining and applicable.I highly recommend her as a teacher.In addition, she wants students to do well and is willing to work with you.
She made the night class which was almost 3 hours long very interesting. She was fun and entertaining. She cared about the students and the trivial questions were fun. As long as you memorize the slides, you will be fine. She tells you what is important or not in lecture.
If you are the student at GCC, you should take this class for not only your future but also your life. You don't need to be stressful to take this class because she concentrates what you learn,not what you remember. A lot of slides but they are helpful, fun and easy. You open your eyes~!
this class is the best art class on campus...you will learn a lot, very fun, laughter is regular on a daily basis. great teacher, very undrstanding, helpful and really hot for her age..lol
She is very nice and if you are good for memorizing you will get an A. I enjoy her class because she made it interesting.
best teacher ever! love her soo much.
The best professor I have ever had in my entire life and I am not exagerating one bit.
Dr. Abram was seriously an inspiration to me. She's a hard teacher, definetly expects a lot from her students, but it's all very reasonable, and she makes it easy to learn. I love art history, and I love her, she's likely the best teacher I've ever had.
the best teacher i have ever had. take her class i stronly recommend her. very easy teacher all u have to do is memorze couple of slides and she is an easy grader. i took her for 101 and 102 passed with A. she make sthe class fun & intersting.
Best teacher ever! I love her. She really seems to care about her students too. She challenges you to think. Even about stuff that have nothing to do with the class.
ugh, take her, immediately, she's spectacular..why are you still reading this, call Stars now and register, RIGHT NOW...honestly, easy if you do what she asks..she doesn't trick you and is not malicious like some other teachers
I took two semesters with Dr. Abram and all i have to say is that she's the cutest woman in the world!!! she's honestly just such a cool lady. you guys will fall in love with the class like i did. Her tests are fair and easy (if you studied).
Dr. Abram is one of the best teachers ever. She is very clear about what she wants, makes the class very interesting. Tests are fairly easy as long as u study. If you're gonna takethis class besure to take her, u wont regret it...
AN A CAN EASILY BE MADE IN THIS CLASS AS LONG AS YOU STUDY THE MATERIAL. I RECOMMEND TAKING THIS TEACHER IF YOURE GOING TO TAKE THIS CLASS.
shes awsome if she was ten years younger id... . plus her class is fun and easy if u take notes and pay attention. shemakes the class funner than it really is.
She's very straigtforward... I enjoyed something I didn't anticipate enjoying, she makes the class interesting and fun. Just take good notes on everything she says, know how to write well and properly, and review your notes and you'll ace the tests... nothing tricky here! highly recommended!
This class is pretty fun. If you study the slides you'll get an A
Excellent teacher, she is so intresting and knows a lot. She makes it fun and will give extra credit points to you if she messes up. Nicest lady, class is easy if you just remember the slides. Take her!
reallllly fun class, just study and memorize and ull be good to go...she's funny, not too boring...knows what she's talking about
Great, Great, Great Teacher. Extremely helpfull and you'll have a lot of fun in her class. Just remember to always participate, sit in the front of the class and study all your notes on the slides. If you do that youll Earn an A.
Dr. Abram is a smart and wonderful teacher. My advice in taking the class is listening and taking notes on all she says when she describes the art on the slides and from there you will be able to do well on the tests. Class includes 3 exams including the final, trivial pursuit exam, 2 essays, participation and attendance!
worst teacher ever she is evil!!
she talks too much about the artist's personalities & not their artwork like we're supposed to study. she blabs like there's not tomorrow. it's very annoying to hear her talk.
Best art history teacher ever! Tip: Go to class, take notes, and participate. Creative, opinionated essays will surely give you an A. I highly recommend her.
shes the best!!all i can say that shesthe one that who made me like art history if u try enough you will pass her class~!!!another thing is u can always ask her questions and she will be happy and glad to answer them!!there is no way that u will not like her!!im already taking 3of her classes!since she's one of the best teachers!shes never boring!!
who ever dont like her is because they didnt do any thing in her class!!!they should blame them selves not dr.abram!!!!!!!!!!!!!u would love her
she was ok...a little stickler...didn't like her snooty personality...whats up with does mini skirts she wears? shes like 70 years old.
good teacher, knows what she wants in tests and makes it very clear how to get an "A" in every one
By far, one of the best teachers at gcc.Really knows her subject(unfortunately,can't say that about all of the profs at gcc),and knows how to teach it!Will love art and all of its dynamics after this class, and hopefully will appreciate it more as well.Super interesting, great class to take, and a wonderful teacher to teach it.Not an easy A though.
Dr. Abram is a class act! She is my favorite teacher ever! I would take rock-watching if she taught it. She knows her subject & she makes it fun and interesting. Take good notes and be polite. She is a very nice person and very funny. And try to be creative with the assignments she enjoys the funny ones very much. Take her class you won't be sorry.
well, in the beginning she seem really mean, but damn she was not she is a great teacher. u get three midterms and if u study for sure u will get an A or a B, and she is a easy grader in the essays, which r too, and then are other final is take home
she's open to anything and very very liberal! her tests are easy but the essays are a bit of a challenge..if you're creative you'll get A's on the essays...so no problems there..as long as u take notes and memorize the slides, getting an A will be a breeze..(no need to read the text..just listen in class and show up!)
wow this teacher is great! she keeps you interested the whole time, wanting to actually learn more. one of the best teachers ive had. if you attend class and participate, this class is an easy A.
No Comments
Was in her Art History 102 class! SO MUCH FUN!! Always was energetic and kept the discussions fun and interesting! You really gotta study for her exams though, those are not as easy as you think they might be! You have to also write 2 essays in her class. Fair grader, and always helpful!! I love you Dr. Abram!!! <3<3<3<3
She is very specific on what she wants on her test, but she is very delicate on grammar. I mean how does she wants to write good is not like a english class.she doesn't give enough time to check our answers from the test. Her grading scale sucks b/c the final was based on 30% of our grade,and only one test that was 20%. She is very pick with the answers.
She is great. I learned so much during this class and I wasn't that interested about art before the class started but now I'm really, really interested in it. She is very clear about what she wants! The attendance is important since part of the grade is based on attendance and another part on participation + you learn alot = less study at home! :D
JESUS, SHE MAKES YOU WORK YOU TAIL OFF, GOES WELL BEYOND THE CURRICULUM..., VERY CLEAR ABOUT WHAT SHE WANTS YOU TO KNOW, BUT THEN WHAT DO YOU EXPECT, SHE IS A PH.D.
Great teacher, teaches the class very well, study required for tests as there are 3 tests, and 2 essays and one pursuit exam, rather easy if one studies for the tests.
Great teacher and one of the most interesting, intelligent and admirable person I have ever met!!!! I would definetly take any other class of hers.
The test are very hard so you have to study alot, but the essays are easy. This is a type of class that will take alot of your time so you have to put a major time committment in order to study for the tests.
Amazing teacher. She forces you to learn the material, but she makes it very interesting. Her tests require a lot of writing, but if you are willing to work a little you will easily pull a B, and perhaps even an A.
i love her~ she's easy and she TELLS you what to study for!!! TAKE HER you won't regret it. i wanted to take her art history 102 honors but another professor took over her class...
Professor Abram is a rare breed of teachers! She's engaging, intelligient and maintains an atmosphere of respect. She never shoots students down or embarrasses anyone. Her approachability and the kindness of her personality makes her not only an asset to GCC but an amazing person to know and be taught by.
Dr. Abram is one of the best professors I have had not only at GCC but throughout my education. Her tests are not the easiest tests, but if you study then you will get the A. Take her and you won't regret it.
wonderful professor. very friendly.i took 3 classes with her and once u know what ur doing,through out the whole semester u will be fine. shes very clear n knows what shes talking about..people who do not like her are retarded.they have problems..she is also fashionable
She's clear, her assignments are imaginative and you can often get into very interesting, topical discussions that relate art history to the present (which are a highlight of her classes.)
Miss Abram is a fantastic subject who forces you to critically analyze each topic she discusses...if you are looking for a class to skate by in with an easy A this is not the one. if you are not interested in history or art and discussing it at great lengths just don't bother. the off topic discussions are wonderful and help enrich the class.
Dr. Abram is amazing. If you are looking for a challenging teacher who is interesting and engaging, by all means, take her class. She does not suffer fools well, so if you aren't there to learn, don't bother.
Very good teacher. Extremely nice and helpful. Basically the art class is memorizing up to 35 images and when its time for the test she will give you about 7 of them. You need to know the date it was painted, the artist, the time period, and the name of the painting. If your good at memorizing then you will get an a.
one of the best teachers i have had at gcc. her exams are not difficult, but you must study to get an "A" she is also interested in the student's personal life and gives advice about transfering
Dr. Abram is the greatest professor EVER!!! she is amazing, very intelligent, admirable and well humored! her lectures are the greatest! Took her for 102 and 101 and i still want to take more of her classes. At first i thought 102 would be the enough but she is soooo good at she does, she motivated me!
I took this class online during summer 07. All you do is read her lectures and then survey the art work. At times is can be hard to give her what she wants to hear but overall it wasn't too bad. Don't let the work pile up for the end or else you end up reading a lotttt.
She is a great professor, knows what she's talking about. Studying is vital, if you're a visual learner who likes art, you'll do fine.
shes cool..she doesnt like cell fones on thts for sure..shes kinda funny at times..u might think u dont need to study but u relly do b/c the test is all about memorization! wow your gona have to memorize a LOT so if ur memory is bad...i dont recoment u take this...
i didnt have fun in this class. in some class days, she and the class just had a discussion about education for the whole time. her tests have to be all written down and it's so annoying cuz you need to be god damn specific. is this a english class or what! she checks on your grammer and its points off, and wants you to know the names of her sons
DR. ABRAM IS POSSIBLY THE BEST TEACHER I HAVE HAD. SHE LOVES HER WORK AND ONE CAN TRULY TELL. HER PASSION MAKES HER CLASS THAT MUCH BETTER. I RECOMMEND HER BUT IF YOU DO NOT PLAN TO STUDY AND IF YOU ARE TAKING THIS CLASS BECAUSE YOU NEED IT TO TRANSFER, DO NOT BOTHER BECAUSE IT IS NOT EASY. BUT IF YOU LIKE THE CLASS THEN ITS WORTH IT
i loved this class. abram is very enthusiastic and excellent at teaching this subject. i learned SO much about art history. shes a very fair teacher. in the afternoon it can be hard to sit for an hour in the dark because you can get sleepy but her tests are very easy IF you study/elaborate. take her!!
You have to have an interest in art to be able to appreciate the class fully. A lot of times, class discussion became rather boring and unhelpful because of the useless topics that would come up (i.e, education system, her grandchildren or her family life). She needs to get into the artist's mindset not just the coating on top of the artwork.
Dr. Abram is without a doubt one of the greatest teachers at GCC. She is very passionate about art and very knowledgeable. She comes to class organized and prepared to teach. She is VERY helpful and understanding. BUT...this is not a kick back class. You HAVE to do a lot of studying if u want a good grade. There is a lot of memorizing involved.
I took her online class, she scares you on the first day of class but she really is not that hard, you really have to understand the material of art and go in dept of the paintings, you need to read and keep up with the material, she takes points off 4 stupid grammatic errors but at the end she gave me an A. I rec. online instead on campus class!!!
she was really weird for both me and my boyfriend but she's really cool. gives you lots of chances for credit. cool lady... she loves what she does. just dont call her Mrs.
she is the best professor ever! she is very fun, and makes art history very interesting.
I took her online class. There was a lot of reading, and the questions are subject to your interpretation. She's a very good professor, but thinks she's crystal clear when that's not always the case. She tried to get our assignments graded in a timely fashion, which is always appreciated with an online class. She's a great choice.
wow most boring class at gcc. class goes very slow n must take alottt of notes...go home n read alottttt. tests all memorization, not interesting for me at all, i had to drop her class. it was to boring.
Awesome teacher!! the art was just beautiful and interesting. easy!! its all about recognition and memorization. there were some boring parts but for the most part she had us laughing. great personality. i got a c without trying. the only downside is the book. expensive!! if you can afford it i highly recommend her for any class even humanities 120
Dr. Abram is an amazing prof. She truly challenges you to think about the art. Yes, there is a lot of memorization, but you can sound smart at parties because of it! The only annoying thing is she has you memorize around 45 slides but will test you on about 12 (u don't know which ones). All tests are essay format--if you can write well--you're in!
Take this class online! Although there are lots of reading, it's mostly short answer essays on your interpretations of the paintings with no memorization required! I learned a lot, perhaps even more than the students who complained about the class lectures.
I took her online art history class so I only met her once and she left an incredible impression on me. She truly cares that we learn and she gave me feedback through the whole class online. She has so much passion!
Abrams is a wonderful Teacher, although she is the director of the theater dept now. She was great and informative, and a wonder to converse with. Find her, talk to her, and enjoy her wonderful smile. Very easy to talk to.
She definitely is a great teacher and you will learn how to critically think in this class. The assignments are not that easy if you put time to it and do the readings. I believe she is a fair grader and sometimes she lets you resubmit an assignment in order to improve your grade. Overall, I definitely recommend you take her course.
hate this teacher. do not take her at all you will hate the class and she is really unfair. she didnt help us with anything and left us alone. its an online class. and when we would ask students for help she called it cheating. do not take her trust me
Professor Abram was great. I took her online art history class during the winter session. The class is interesting, and I learned a lot. She seems to really care about her students.
Amazing teacher! She clearly knows her material, and is very effective teaching her students. I took her online class during the Winter session and got an A. She responds to questions/comments very quickly, and absolutely cares for her students. Highly recommended, especially if you're a good writer. You will appreciate Art after her class.
not for people who leave everything for the last minute
Her Art history class is stricly by memorization. There are 3 test, the best way to pass her class is to make flashcards and memorize every information she has taught you. If you do this, you will do fine. Some students didnt buy the book and they survived. Other than that she is very nice and funny.
She was great. I loved her so much. She not only is a perfect professor, but she is a funny and a great human. She is very fashionable and hot (I am a straight woman!!) I am gonna miss her a lot because I am not gonna see her again. She taught her last semester at GCC in fall 2012. I enjoyed every second in her class and learned a lot.
