Reviews of professor Naomi Vanderkindren

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
If you love learning about photography, take her class! It was much more rigorous than my previous online classes, though, so don't take it if you want an easy GE. She was very helpful and friendly through email/office hours, so reach out if you're struggling with the work. Taking notes on her online lectures and studying for quizzes is a must.

Quizzes are 60 minutes for 25 questions. Mostly multiple choice. Not hard because questions covered in lecture. If you took notes, easy to get an A. Total class time? I use about 2 hours a week, plus 2-3 for reading and homework. 3 unit college class, so normal workload. Not easy but not hard either. You just have to take the time.

Pay attention and its not hard. Best advice is watch lecture and you gotta take notes. Don't skip class. pretty the same as my other history class. I learned a lot, plus she's really nice.

Do not take this class. 6-7 page paper due at the end of the semester. Tough grader. Really specific and picky instructions for her assignments. I highly advise to avoid this course. It's basically an English course at this point. A whole lot of work for just a photography class. Also, not a lot of feedback on assignments.

Office hours, chat and phone. Feedback on assignments and says exactly what it must contain (makes for easy A). Tests were challenging but makeup exam can replace low score. Grace period on every assignment and extra credit. If there is a mistake she always give credit for fairness. Open to feedback. She was really helpful, cares a lot.

A really engaging class with a lot of discussions. Not like other online classes. Pretty easy if you follow the lessons every week. Well organized and planned. She went to community college, so gets it. Almost always responds, even if she says that she's offline.

I would take her again but not the course. Professor Vanderkindren, is a good, caring and responds fast. She offers a lot of extra credit so it is an easy A if you do it. My only issue with her class is it got very boring very quickly. Lectures are slow (I played them at 2x speed) and the information is stuff that you will never need to know.

I thought this class would be fun(as learning should be)but not only did she make it unbearable with the workload(only take this class if you're taking 2-3 classes)she also sucked the fun out of it. There are 2-3 lecture vids a week & usually 1hour+ long. She keeps close tabs so if u skip a video she emails u. Only gives 45 mins for quizzes
