Reviews of professor Julia Orell

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
This class had interesting content, although the professor's lectures severely dimmed the interest. They were boring and the readings chosen where not an introductory level, nor were they clear. One of the assignment's given was also unrelated to art history; we were instructed to create art despite this course not being a VISA or fine arts course.

WORST professor ever. She doesnt know what shes talking about, just reading from a script. Lectures are long, dull and awkward. And her slides?Just ridiculous. She literally puts a screen of small text out there, and then doesnt post the slides. She definitely managed to kill a lot of peoples interest in art history.

I'm not sure at all why there are so many negative reviews here. Julia seemed to me to have a real concern for student engagement and never seemed disengaged or uninterested. This class was fair, not too easy. There was a lot of flexibility in the assignments and attendance which I felt was appropriate for the subject matter and pace. Overall great

I really loved Julia Orell's lectures and subject matter so much. She was indeed at times somewhat monotone in her delivery, but made up for it through her really caring demeanor. She's really clear in what she asks from you and her feedback is extensive.

If you aren't EXTREMELY interested in art history, look for a different prof. Orell's lectures are plain and there is no expression at all in her voice, she also reads off a script which makes the lectures almost impossible to be excited about. Although she cares about students and seems nice her exams were also hard and super long for only 1 hour.
