I liked how she approached art history and made it fun and interactive. She posts her lectures online but not the slides. The only thing I didn't like is how 55% of your grade is from the final project. I think a hw grade could've balanced out the structure more and not have students stress out about one project so much.

She's a very cool/kind person, but she didn't teach anything. You're expected to complete long, dense readings every class, which students then present on and the class discusses. Desplanque doesn't lecture and other than providing discussion prompts, she doesn't contribute much. Also, half the class is some sort of gaming workshop for some reason?

Prof Deplanque is an amazing person and deeply care for her student's well-being. The readings sometimes get lengthy, but her lectures are always entertaining. There are only a few assignments and she built in class time to work on the final project. My only complaint is that the semester ends in a week, and I have yet to receive a single grade.

Professor Desplanque had a different approach to art history, which was interesting, but made it hard to study and pin down what to focus on. Most of your grade rested on a group presentation at the end of the semester, and almost no grades were in until the end of the semester.

She is a great lecturer, but the class was completely unstructured. Did not connect one thing to the next and it felt like we were just looking at random art pieces for the whole semester. Few grades but very easy class. Class was entertaining but I didn't learn much at all and it should do a better job at connecting themes.

I cannot express enough how much I love professor Desplanque. She's so chill and really nice. Attendance is not taken but I would come just for her lectures and how interesting they were. As long as you do the work on time you'll get an A in this class. She's the best
