Reviews of professor Patricia Dillon

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
For the sake of your mental health, do not take this or any class with Dillon. Took her Nazi Looted Art class in spring 2020 & almost suffered from a psychological breakdown. Not only was the class extremely difficult, but her attitude towards me & the 3 other Jewish students in the class was borderline antisemitic & it was for a JWST cred.

Horrible. Shes an art attorney coming from NYU grad school teaching, for context. This is the first class Ive withdrawn from because her attendance policy is insane (4 classes and she gives you a WF). I have a 4.0 btw. Lectures are impossible to follow and puts people on the spot. Field trips are a pain if you live off campus. Avoid

very disrespectful towards her students when giving feedback. do not recommend this class if you have no interest in furniture.

If you contribute in class and keep up with assignments, you'll do well. Professor Dillon has lots of experience in the art world and incorporated that into her lectures which was valuable information for any major. If given the chance to take one her classes, do it. She's incredibly smart and you'll learn a lot, just always put in the effort.

DO NOT TAKE. I took for FYE and it was bad. She doesn't post slides and goes so fast and just rambles.She is racist and just rude. Her feedback is awful and degrading. Basically grades based on her opinion, even if you anwser all questions.  She did not understand we were a entry level course. Made us go to tours that we had to pay for.

Very fair, and recognizes when her students care about her course! If you engage (even just giving a classmate notes or sending in current events) she will often be lenient about deadlines and class work. She does not want you to do poorly and it shows, she Professor Dillon cares about her students, and cares about the information she teaches!

Ms.Dillon was a great lecturer and made learning easy and I feel as if what I learned in her class I will remember for life. But she did come across as racist as I was her only Black student any time there was a question in relation to race or slavery she would either stare at me until I answered or would just blatantly ask me expecting an answer.
