Reviews of professor Shriya Sridharan

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
If you are not experienced in art history, I highly advise against taking this class. Professor Sridharan grades as if her students are all art history experts like her. She is inexperienced at teaching and presents her content through very long power point presentations. She struggles to keep her students engaged and awake in class.

Everyday she just lectures all class about very boring content. She has no idea how to engage students, I can't make it 10 minutes in that class without zoning out. Worse, she expects that everyone is experienced in writing about art history. You will find yourself often confused with the assignments she gives.

Professor Sridharan is a very kind and understanding instructor. Her lectures are awesome and very indulging because there is a lot of ways to participate in class. I have taken her for all of my Cultures and Ideas courses (i.e. for a year), and I am very sad that there isn't any other course I can take to learn about Indian art.

This class gives a lot of work and it is not best to leave it for later. Professor Sridharan is good but her feedback can come across as passive agressive and has favorites.If you have no interest dont expect an A. My adivce is don't take this class unless you have interest, there are other classes to fill C&I

Her lectures are very boring, and all she does is lecture- there is almost no interaction or discussion, just answering her questions for participation. She expects too much of her students, and is horrible when it comes to giving feedback (not specific at all and derogatory). Her assignments are tedious and boring as well. Attendance is mandatory.

I would 100% recommend this class! Even with no prior art history experience, I was able to fully enjoy and engage in her class. Her lectures are long but she makes sure that everyone is fully engaging with the subject with interesting discussions. I also recommend going to office hours because she explains any questions that you have in detail.

The Indian Art History class is mind numbing because the exams are all pure regurgitation from memorizing aspects of the sculptures and religion. I wish we learned history instead. Art history is inherently a subjective field, but if Dr. S does not like you on a personal level for any reason whatsoever, it will clearly reflect in your grade.

Although I was already excited to learn more about Indian Art and Art History, Professor Sridharan's lectures inspired me to research more on the topic. The lectures provided a clear understanding of what the quizzes and exams will be like. Overall, I found the class fun and engaging.
