She was genuinely a great and amazing teacher. I ended up minoring in Art History because of how much her class made me love it 10/10.

Took the Graphic Design History class she taught and she was super great and understanding of how difficult the text book was. Was disappointed she didn't teach Modern Art topics, but I highly recommend her.

She's very very passionate and friendly. She does take a long time to grade papers, but she absolutely prepares you for every test. My only complaint is that she drags on a lot when she lectures. She literally took an entire class explaining one painting. But hey, at least it's an easy credit. But don't buy the book it's pointless :)

Amazing professor! She really knows what she's talking about and is very passionate about renaissance art. You learn a lot in her class and as long as you take good notes, her exams won't be too hard. The only issue is timing, lectures ran until the last second of class and we didn't get to every chapter we wanted to.

Very easy to understand, always available for help. Do not buy the book, it really isn't necessary. Going to classes really isn't necessary since she makes an outline of everything covered on tests. Her class was extremely easy, not enough of a challenge but interesting nonetheless. I highly recommend her.

Just as the below statement. She is great, only three exams, no midterm or final. Just go to class and take lots of notes because all of her tests are based on the notes that she gives in class. Don't worry, she puts everything on the blackboard as well s its pretty easy to pass the class. I highly recommend her!

I absolutely loved her, definitely take her class. She talks pretty fast and gives a lot of information but she explains everything extremely well and her tests are easy. You will only have 3 exams and no final, her tests are solely based on her lectures. I definitely recommend her.

GREAT lecturer, very engaging. I was never bored in the class even when discussing cave paintings. DON'T buy the book. Her tests are cut and dry if you study the notes. I'm taking her again for ART 212.Easy A

An amazing teacher!! Lots of information but the way she explains it to the class makes it so easy to understand. She knows how we feel and tries to make the class interesting and easy enough for everyone to have a chance at passing. I wish i had her for every class!

Very knowledgeable and intelligent. States exactly what you will need to know on exam in lectures. Exams are mainly multiple choice with a few slide id questions. Don't really have to know exact dates, just the periods which works of art are from! Saves on a lot of studying!

She is very smart and very good at explaining exactly what you will need to know for any exams. She makes everything clear and she doesn't put you to sleep EVERYTIME. It can get boring, but as long as you pay attention to what she says is important, you'll do fine. I'd recommend her to anyone who wants to take an Art History class.

Great class very easy to follow. Very fair grader. Only real complaint was when classes were canceled I would have liked to know before I drove a half hour to get to the class. Other than that she was excellent.

Wonderful teacher,professional attitude makes her points clear, easy to learn. Exams are straighforward, she does not give busywork-plenty of extra credit opportunities if needed. Class was informative and interesting, she is one of ECSU's best Professors.

Best professor I ever had at Eastern so far. She keeps your attention and is so smart, her vocabulary is amazing. As long as you go to class and pay attention, you can definetly get A's on all her exams, and she's willing to sit with you to go over and issues you have...I reccomend her to anyone interested in art history!!

this class was so boring, and her lectures didn't help any. she's really smart but doesn't know how to keep people's attention. 2 papers, 1 test, and a group project so the work load wasn't too bad

AWESOME teacher. Just by hearing her speak it's clear she's incredibly knowledgable about art history. Class is pretty simple - look at slides, take notes... three exams, standard. I zoned out a couple times, but usually her assertive teaching style can keep you involved in the topic for the whole class. I never loathed going to her classes.

I love this class. Pinckney is an amazing instructor and knows an awful lot about her topic and subject. Her tests are very straight foward and you know exactly what's going to be one them. A good class to learn some interesting things and get a good grade.
