Reviews of professor Julia Perratore

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
She made me appreciate art history. I'm considering minoring in it. She does use a textbook but it's honestly just supplemental information; if you write about lectures during the midterm/final you'll get credit. She is quite lecture heavy but there's a lot of info & she keeps it engaging. Bit of a harsh grader but you can get an A (A- for me lol)

An amazing professor! I never would have thought I would like art history but it was a great class and I'm interested in taking more. While it is lecture-based, she frequently asks students to analyze the works. There is memorization, but if you start using flashcards early on the tests are easy-peasy. Highly recommended.

Super sweet and caring personality. Teaches through group discussions which was awesome. Always read material in textbooks/PowerPoint slides and you'll do fine. Very responsive to emails and extremely accessible/helpful. 2-3 papers but gives you freedom to choose topic based on museum exhibitions. Totally interesting/engaging lectures. Exceptional!

Great professor. I found her lectures to be interesting and always felt engaged in discussion. A lenient grader who assigns three essays over the semester that are all very manageable. The most work came during the midterm and final because of all the works of art you need to memorize for them. But again, they were very manageable. Take her!

Really great, especially for a young professor. Kind, smart, funny, and really helpful! I did think maybe she was a bit too general in order to make non-art history majors more comfortable, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.

I loved Professor Perratores class! She is so knowledgeable and passionate about art history. She gave me an appreciation for art that I never had before.

Was able to bring some life to an otherwise dull topic. Great at explaining historical context and was able to cover a lot of material over the course of the semester. Two papers on exhibits, two exams that test your knowledge of details of art works that we covered in class. Each test covers about 40 works of art so a lot of material but manageabl

Literally my favorite professor this semester. I'm not a huge fan of art history but she made me appreciate it more. Attendance is mandatory mostly because missing notes on any works of art will make studying for exams tough. Use note cards and quizlets with pictures to study. You DEFINITELY have to memorize but she makes it fun and interesting. :)

I took two classes with Dr. Perratore and loved both of them. She's fantastic. She's patient, clear, super nice, and super willing to help outside of class. It's clear she enjoys what she does. The reading is sometimes a bit heavy, but her classes are very well thought out. Assignments are interesting & can be applied to the real world.
