Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Makarova is a phenomenal professor who is deeply knowledgeable about her field and lectures with determination and compassion. I have never learned more in a lecture-based class! Great choices of readings, clear lectures (but very dense and information-packed), and engaging material. I couldn't recommend a prof more!

Pr Makarova is an AMAZING teacher. The lectures are easy to follow and she strongly encourages participating. 
She made me fall in love with architecture.

Super sweet. Gives a really nice overview of course material, a little quick but its arch history. Very easy to approach- love her!

I've raved about this class to everyone. Excellent, engaging, entertaining lectures (a guest lecture was the academic highlight of my semester!), and a very relaxed and accessible prof. I will say, considering my friends' and the rest of the class's performance in the midterm - which was graded very leniently - the final scores were disappointing.

Amazing professor. Super fun, kind, professional, and knowledgeable. We had fun and practical assignments, lots to write but it is a good way to improve your art history skills. Although the grading rubric is not clear. Overall, as long as you put effort, you will get a good grade.

Dr. EM's tackled Contemporary Architecture's core concepts and questions in only one semester without making it feel like a completely superficial overview! She made me appreciate architects' ingenuity with fascinating examples.
This course is one of the highlights of my exchange semester at McGill!! I highly recommend taking a class with her!

Dr. EM's passion for the subject is palpable and infectious. Our TA, Will, was also lovely. I learned so much about architectural history, from Art Nouveau to Modernism and Brutalism. The only thing was that the final was a bit tough as we were expected to write two essays in one hour and a half. I would definitely recommend taking this class.
