Reviews of professor Nicole Archer

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
This is the second class I took with Professor Archer, and I would gladly take a third. She genuinely wants class, especially via zoom to be as engaging as possible, and gets creative with discussion posts, projects, etc. You can tell she cares so much about her students, and even told everyone to keep in touch!

Professor Archer is great, super nice! I personally have absolutely no interest in art and visual culture but if you do, its great. Kind of hard to not fall asleep in class since the entire thing is a lecture but attention is not actually necessary at all for your grade.

This class was alot of reading pre-lecture but she is so respected. The class is long and lecture heavy but is flexible and changes how she lectures to make students engaged

Nicole is a good teacher, but she gives a lot of readings and likes to call on people

This class is very interesting if you are interested in art. We talked about some much, the lectures were very long adn she does not stop. You will receive a lot of information in one session. We've met once a week but you do get a lot from the course. You get an assignment every week, and we have no final just two essays.

If ur interested in learning more abt the historical aspect of art take this class. Well organized, uses mic so everyone can hear and uses clear/eye-catching slides. Only con is that she hates seeing u use ur phone, and will call you out if u try using it discretely. Uses some classes to make sure everyone is on track for final paper, rly good prof

If your not an art major don't take her. This was worst than my major classes, dont get me wrong she's really good at her job but the amount of reading on things that just did not interest me was the most excruicating part. Half of my class used Chat GBT for the essay, just don't do it, it's not worth it. Assignments fairly understandable.

Theres a ton of PDF readings every week in addition to the textbook chapters, but she doesnt expect you to read them all thoroughly. She explains complex readings really well and shes super understanding about our personal lives & our other classes. No tests, just occasional online comprehension quizzes and two papers. Kinda hard grader on papers

Nicole understands that students have other classes to worry about so she makes assignments/readings doable. Use her office hours! She gives good feedback and her critique can be the difference between a B and an A. The lectures are long so be sure to participate. The readings can be pretty long so manage your time well. Overall, great class!
