Reviews of professor Marisela Thompson

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
For architecture programs including Rhino, Revit, Photoshop, and Illustrator, she makes everything more complicated than it needs to be. She seems uneducated on these programs and often would stumble during class and do the incorrect thing. If you don't attend the lectures, instructions or guidelines aren't provided. It's very general, not specific

In my opinion Prof Thompson is awesome. I took her for AAI 180,280, and 282. I love her teaching style and she is very resourceful. If I could I would continue taking her for upper division but she only teaches lower division. I think shes great and gives amazing feedback. I learned so much from her classes. She's not only a good teacher but kind.

I think majority of the negative reviews here of Prof. Thompson is about the major, not her. She is very caring, understanding, and overall easy going. She is one of the best instructors I've had so far. She's lenient with your work as long as she can see you're trying and learning. Def would enroll in her sections in any courses she covers.

If you're a general architecture major, you will find difficulty with this class tremendously. It seems like this class is suited more towards Interior Design students. Not to mention, there isn't enough teaching of how to advance your skills in the software programs covered in this class. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this teacher or class at all.

Had her for 2 semesters in a row and not once did she respond to any of my emails when I had a question and/or concern. Couldn't reach her during her office hours either. Digital design should not be this difficult for no reason but her instructions made it difficult and hard to learn.

I really enjoyed having her for two classes this semester. She explains everything in depth and doesn't make you feel bad or annoying when asking multiple questions (she loves answering your questions!) I would 100% take her again and I definitely recommend her to any students. She's very sweet and truly cares about our education.

AAD 282 wasn't an option to select, but that is one of the two classes I had her this semester. She explains very good and is always there to help. I really liked that she spoke to all students and discussed their work unlike the other professor. Jamboards were super helpful, 10/10 recommend!
