Comment:
Class was asynchronous so all lectures are recorded and emails used to communicate. She talks down to students in emails and I really didn't appreciate the attitude. An air of shame in using campus resources.

Comment:
Avoid at all costs. Doesn't allow you to leave momentarily to go to the restroom -- you won't be treated like a college student. During all 90 minutes of lecture, talks at you instead of with you. No discussions or opportunity to share your thoughts. Disappointing overall, coming from an art student.

I would highly recommend her if you're looking for a fun, engaging, educational, intelligent professor who is passionate about her class. As an art history student, I loved taking this class. Even though the topic, Italian Renaissance is a toughy, it wasn't for me. One of the easiest classes I've taken here at DePaul!

Comment:
This is not an easy A course. She is very sweet and entertaining, but I had a class directly before her's so it was sometimes hard to pay attention in her lectures. She's very willing to work with you. Take notes on the details of the paintings, that's what you're tested on. Don't need to read the textbook as long as you pay attention in class.

Comment:
She is not organized at all and is very fluttery. I did not enjoy her lectures and felt she was talking to herself. She is very absent minded. I do not recommend her classes. She does not relate to students at all. I think she thinks she is living in another century.

Comment:
VERY knowledgeable and enthusiastic, but extremely long lectures. My brain felt overloaded with info halfway through each class. She never interacts with the class, she just kind of talks without stopping. I couldn't tell you any of my classmates' names. Never any homework, but that means midterm+final are your entire grade. She's a nice lady tho.

Comment:
Exams are tough if you aren't prepared. All you are expected is to write as much as you know about a piece of art that's shown in a slideshow in exams. Lectures are long. She's really savvy in what she teaches, but could be confusing sometimes. No home works so that's a good thing. Being in the class and trying to focus on lectures is important.

I love her! She is very passionate about the subject! Very clear and very helpful outside of class! Take advantage of the extra credit! Doesn't like you to eat, sleep, or leave class at all. Also no cell phone usage and make sure you study for the quiz and exams! Really study, if you are looking for an easy A, don't take class with her.

Extremely pretentious and uninspiring. If you don't worship the French culture and think art is the only reason to live, she will probably inadvertently insult you, and you will feel miserable in the class.

Simone is an amazingly passionate teacher. It's clear that she teaches a subject she loves and if you pay attention then you will have all the tools you need for a good grade. She's easy-going and always offers opportunities for extra credit. Don't be a rude student (on your phone, sleeping) and don't eat in class and you'll be just fine.

This professor is great. She has such interesting stories that makes art history really interesting. She will get mad at you if you eat, leave, sleep, or use your phone. I had the best experience at DePaul in her classes

Seriously Professor Zurawski is a force to be reckoned with. I've never made her upset, but from observing, NEVER eat, leave, or sleep. Not that you should either way, but WHOA. She's super intense one on one too hah. GREAT professor though. You will get your money's worth without fail. She's entertaining too.

Extremely good at what she does. She's really into her topic and that exuberance comes out in her lectures. Attendance and attention is mandatory, as she gives out lots of info that's not in the nightly reading. Exams and papers tough, but not unreasonably so.

I've taken her twice and probably will again. She makes sitting in a dark room staring at pictures fun! Don't ever leave class early though, she will take you outside and rip you a new one. Same goes for "sleeping in class" The exams are intense but there is minimal reading. Take her!

let this be a message to all who dont desire to major in art, and are interested in fulfilling a requirment by taking this course.dont.....unless you want a C. I have gotten A's in every english class I have taken at DePaul, and this lady's tests require writing out an entire bluebook, I studied, wrote very well and ended up with a C. She is crazy.

Professor Zurawski really knows what she is talking about, and she makes learning about Art interesting, exciting, and often gave us the deails and history you would have a hard ime finding anywhere else. Don't take her classes if you cannot make a commitment to be there or if you don't plan on doing a good amount of studying for the exams.

I was soured on Art History classes from my last prof. Who was a scatterbrained ninny. Simone is just the opposite. The lectures made sense. She actually gave you a slide list. And her grading scale was fair. Just don't show up late or ditch class.
