Most Helpful Review
Winter 2026 - I cannot believe this professor doesn't have more reviews. She is AMAZING. She is young and excited to teach and is overall very knowledgeable about aesthetics and critical theory. The class is pretty straightforward. The only assignments are a weekly 250-word blog post and a final exam. The only rule for the blog posts is that they must be done by the end of the quarter. There are 9 in total. Keeping up with the reading is vital to success in this class, and I would also say attending lectures(though she doesn't take attendance), because she connects the authors' readings to each other (how their points relate). If you have to miss, she does upload her lectures to bruin learn, which comes in clutch. Overall, I would take any of her classes again, and if this class is available to you, don't hesitate! Also! The textbook is free. She provides a PDF version!
