Reviews of professor Javier Gomez

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Wants you to create what he would create. Is more focused on how he can tear you down, than on your project. Makes you constantly start over. Is very combative in his critique, and delivers it cold.

Javier is definitely very blunt with feedback. He can be very descriptive if he thinks there's an issue and leaves it at "That's great!" if he likes what you're doing. The class is meant to focus on abstract design so the format is a bit loosy goosy, but you get to use your imagination without worrying about constraints. Good class over all.

The projects felt disjointed and time consuming but at the end of quarter everything came together & I coukd see how everything came together. I learnt A TON and want to take his residential design course next. Really great architect and designer but his teaching style can be cold and he does have his favourites. Be creative and youll be good.

I did not learn one single thing, this class has been a complete waste of time and energy and wouldnt have taken it if I didnt have to. Javier doesn't respond to emails, doesn't get work graded in a timely manner, I ask questions which I never get a clear answer. He has favorites that he focuses on, RUN the other direction if you can.
