Reviews of professor Corey Willis

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Professor Willis is definitely a unique character in a good way! He seems to be updated on current and past artists, be it at street level or professional. Design 100 is just getting you introduced to basics, but if you love to create, then this is the class and professor for you. Lot's of homework, but creative work none the less. Awesome class!

I learned so much from Professor Willis. I don't know what I would have done if I hadn't had his class first quarter freshman year. He set me up so well for the design classes I took. The class is a lot of work, with a different big project being due every week, but it is definitely worth it. Also gives you a lot of great portfolio material!

I have mixed feelings about if I would take his class again. I feel like I learned a lot, but his workload is a lot. What annoyed me about him was that he wouldn't explain how to do the assignments if you were absent. I caught the flu and missed two classes. When I returned to class I asked him for help, and he told me to go to a student.

If taken seriously, this course has the ability to provide design students with a portfolio-level piece. Professor Willis' approach to the first half of the course, in which he rapidly oscillates between showing a task and then having students do the same, proved tedious. He's a blast!!

This is a fairly easy class as long as you follow is rubric. He tries to pride himself on having an easy workload, but its not. He has a lot of redundant or pointless assignments. As long as you stay on top or your work and don't fall behind, you'll be fine.

I've been at SCAD for three years, and Willis' DSGN 105 class was absolutely one of the worst I've ever taken. If you're a serious designer, please, I advise you to stay far away.

Great professor. Cares about his students and just wants the best for everyone. As long as you turn stuff in on time and show effort, you will be fine. There are some group projects but they're not too bad. He communicates what he expects very clearly. Definitely recommend him!!

He is a cool guy that cares about his students. He is really big on continually making changes to your projects over multiple classes, instead of doing one crit and calling it a day. Pretty easy class and some projects can come across as childish but they really help you learn how to work with simplicity. Sometimes his advice can be vague.
