Reviews of professor Caitlin Beach

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Professor Beach is extremely knowledgeable and picks extremely interesting articles for homework. While the class is reading intensive (typical for art history imo), if you skim the articles you should be fine. Participation is important but it isn't hard to answer any questions she asks the class.

prof. beach was such a great professor. she cares more about you being able to understand the work rather than memorize, so the evaluations were open notes, open book, take home. attend the lectures, they matter for the exams. definitely take her if you struggle with humanities courses. the content was interesting and she's just a cool person tbh

She is sweet but class is very boring. She gives two papers and she is a tough grader but gives good feedback on them. Midterm and final are awful you have to memorize a lot.

Professor Beach is a nice person and is caring towards the class, but is a ridiculously hard grader. Her lectures are very boring and your participation grade matters a whole lot. I would avoid taking this class

Two papers, four unit reflections, one midterm and one final. This class was definitely lecture heavy but we were kept engaged through small group discussions and class discussions.A tough grader but if you apply your knowledge and know what you're talking about you will be given a fair grade. Great class, I would definitely take it again!

She is a nice and caring person, but is such a hard grader. It is tough to do well on her essays or tests. Also, she talks the whole class every class and it puts you to sleep, bring a pillow

Professor Beach is a good choice for Introduction to Art History and as an Art History minor, she was a good professor. I can see the course being tough for people taking it as an elective though. Not too bad in terms of workload as there are only a couple of tests and papers.

Wonderful professor w/ great lectures, she's another great part of Fordham's Art History department (btw the class I took from her was ARHI 2526 but that isn't listed here)

My favorite professor at Fordham ever. Professor Beach is so intelligent and conducts her class in a welcoming way. Encourages participation but doesn't cold call, she is well spoken about what she teaches and is the prof that makes me want to go into teaching. Few assignments but a difficult grader, makes you a better writer and will meet with you

I love Professor Beach. She really tries her best to make the lectures fun and interesting for students who are not arthistory majors. She incorporated a lot of current worldviews in our reflection of art pieces which honestly made me realize how above and beyond she goes. Very sweet and caring. Will help you with your papers if you reach out :-)
