Comment:
For an INTRO ART CLASS, she treats it like it is everyone's Major. Capable of getting A's, but IF YOU MISS 1 QUESTION ON A TEST, it ACTUALLY will affect your final grade, i.e., my final grade. She also does NOT compute her grades herself, she uses blackboard. she is lazy and unfair when it comes to grading. Take at your own risk, you've been warned

Comment:
For starters, the woman speaks so quietly, that even if you're interested in what she has to say... you won't hear a thing. She's curt, she's elitist, and she's rude. She's HARD and not in the "intellectually stimulating and challenging" way, more in the "I want to make your life a living hell" way. She destroyed my interest in the subject entirely

Comment:
The best professor I have ever had. Yes, she can be quite difficult, but if you pay attention, the subject becomes extremely clear and easy to follow. Extremely intelligent professor. Classes are "upper level" styled and she definitely challenges her students, but what you reap is worth the struggle.

I took her for Roman Civ to fufill a core requirement. DO NOT DO THIS! Unless you love the ancient world do NOT take her class. She is an extremely tough grader and her tests are impossible. I wish I could have dropped it, but by the time I realized it was to late. My poor GPA.

overall good teacher, really knows her subject. she plays favorites to an extent and will call you out in class. tough grader but the required reading really doesn't matter, barely opened the book. keeps you late but easy enough to get by in the class

Comment:
I have mixed reviews about Dr. Medwid. I missed the NYC and she let me make up the project but on the other hand she mandated we take a final after it being cancelled the semester before. She grades extremely hard for a core requirement and everything is out of the textbook. Don't take this class if youre trying to fulfill a core requirement.

I took Roman Art/Arch with dr. medwid and all i can tell you guys it to RUN! Her tests are impossible, the paper is even worse (9 pages) and she really doesnt help you out. Im taking this as a core credit and she expects everybody to take it as if it was their major. One of the worst profs at Siena. LET ME MAKE THIS CLEAR SHE GIVES SOOO MUCH WORK!

She always took forever to start class and always kept us late that is the number one thing pssd me off about the class. Tests are only easy if you cheat! I wouldn’t recommend this class to fill a core requirement. kill yourself

I think a lot of students misunderstand Dr. Medwid. I did myself in my first class w/ her. Honestly, there is a LOT of work and her biggest weakness is that she tries to do too much in one semester, but she does that partly b/c she truly loves the subject. It's true she expects effort on your part and if you put the time in, it will be worth it.

WORST PROFESSOR EVER!! DO NOT TAKE HER! Her class was very interesting but tests were impossibly hard, the research paper was insane - you were forced to research a topic which was not discussed until the last 2 weeks of class! Cumulative final was worst than the in class tests. I should have listened to my friends and not taken her!

Very hard class... sometimes I found the tests to be a bit hard. Although the class is extremely hard, I loved it. She is a very good teacher that expects a lot from her students, which causes you to learn a lot more than you thought you could. Very interesting class and I love how there are slides for everything she explains.
