Reviews of professor Kristen Racaniello

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Unless you have a photographic memory, STAY AWAY. She's cool. But her tests are ridiculous. You gotta memorize like 30 works of art (not exaggerating) out of which only 5 will be on the test. Not to mention that the class will bore you to death as she goes into details of the paintings like Sherlock Holmes solving a mystery.

super understanding and rly nice. lectures r recorded. hw is usually a comparison or an analysis of something from lecture. tests are easy. she gives a list of artworks from lectures, and some of them r on the test. just make sure u know those artworks. midterm is short answer and multiple choice. final is a test and a paper.

Horrible rookie professor. Class is complete memorization of like 100 artworks to pass the midterm and final. Final essay is a big research paper in Chicago style format. I feel bad for anyone majoring in art. Theres no point in taking this professor, shes way too difficult, will make you sleep as she never stops talking. WARNING DO NOT TAKE HER

Art class for her was very tough. Literally this class is designed for you to memorize about 120 art pieces that she shows from the time midterms come along. DOES NOT TELL YOU WHICH ARTWORK IS IN THE EXAM, SO YOU HAVE TO MEMORIZE EXACTLY EVERY SINGLE DETAIL OF ABOUT 120 IMAGES/ARTWORKS SHE MENTIONS IN HER LECTURES. DO NOT TAKE FOR ART CLASS.
