Prof. Maulsby is a true inspiration. She is thorough and kind and sort of "all seeing" She holds her students to a high standard, but also gives them the means to reach high. She is kind to all and non-judgemental. Her class is a great space to learnARCH2340 2019-09-18 00:26:29 +0000 UTC
Class taken Arch Modernity and City. Very intelligent. I'd also recommend her book "Fascism, Architecture, and the Claiming of Modern Milan, 1922-1943.ARCH2230 2014-11-01 17:40:42 +0000 UTC
Would definitely recommend. Best professor ever.ARCHHISTORY 2014-10-03 20:32:51 +0000 UTC
Extremely knowledgeable, rarely need to look at her notes during lecture, shows the how much she understands her material. However she doesn't have any notes in her slides so you have to absolutely pay attention in class to know what's going on.ARCH2330 2013-12-08 01:23:51 +0000 UTC
Her lectures aren't that great...she says 'um' a lot. She is obviously a very intelligent person who is clearly interested in architecture but she wants to prove to the students (maybe a bit too much) that she is very informed on the subject. Tests are slide id and short essay (for world architecture) which can be difficultARCU120 2008-05-04 00:31:54 +0000 UTC
Very knowledgeable, inspiring and amazing historian. Her knowledge and amazing story telling make waking up 7am worth it. She is SO nice and encourages class conversation. Has interesting media, movies, tidbits and stories to spice the class topic. But you have to WRITE everything in class. If you have to take Arch History, take it with Maulsby.ARCH2340 2016-08-30 17:04:52 +0000 UTC
Probably the best instructor I have had at Northeastern so far. Interesting and captivating lectures that convey a knowledge and passion for the subject matter that is above and beyond expectation. Expects much from students but her conversational lectures prove very helpful of gaining cogent understanding of material. Definitely one of the greats.ARCH2330 2012-11-05 17:58:34 +0000 UTC
She's very knowledgeable but I honestly question her teaching methods, and I think I really need to reflect this because she can be one of the best architecture professor. Her main problem is that she talks way too fast so you probably only get 25% of what she said in class, and her presentations are only pictures so it is quite hard.ARCH2340 2014-02-09 18:00:05 +0000 UTC

Maulsby is by far the best arch history prof at Northeastern currently, i've had all of the others and Maulsby tops them all. She does demand a lot out of you but is very fair, very helpful and very intelligent.ARCH2340 2010-08-04 19:39:49 +0000 UTC
