Reviews of professor Nzuji Magalhaes

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
One of the worst college classes I have taken. I dreaded going to her class. She is a tough grader when it comes to assignments and projects. Boring lectures along with her being kind of rude. The weekly assignments were not even hard and she hardly gave full credit for them. This class was full in the beginning and now half the class dropped.

Took her intro to art class (as a psychology major) just for credit and I wish i had chosen any other professor. She gives so much homework, assigns lots of art projects, and is an extremely tough grader. She is not reasonable in her grading and workload at all. She expects you to give perfect art presentations or you lose a lot of points. Avoid!

Very tough grader, she will take your 0.5 points discussion seriously and gives you little points. Will NOT teach you how to draw but will expect a lot from you during projects. Don't think you will learn to draw not beginner friendly. You will not have enough time if you are taking any other hard classes. Overall I would not recommend.

This professor makes this class extremely frustrating. She is very rude and expects way too much from students. She is a tough grader on weekly homework assignments and projects. I ended up dropping this class because I did not want it to effect my gpa. Such a waste of money on art supplies. I would not recommend taking her.

She is super strict and really sucks the fun out of taking an art class. There are better art teachers that are more inspirational at Cypress College.

I'm surprised at all of the rude ratings for this professor; it wasn't an option but I took her Introduction to Crafts class, and had an amazing time. I had to give presentations on my work, but I just stuck to the rubric and got A's. It wasn't difficult if you went to class. Yeah, had to buy some materials but she mostly bought them for us. Easy A

The professor is passionate about art and she shows it in her class. She inspired me to explore my creative spirit. It is sad to read bad reviews from students who clearly dislike art, and blame the teacher for taking her career subject seriously. Do not mistake "art" as being easy requiring only your attendance. Take a 1 unit gym class for that.
