Reviews of professor David Ondrik

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I took Professor Ondrik's class expecting to take a fun, easy photography class that would help me learn more about my camera and shooting techniques. Instead, class lectures were not useful (more abt the history of photography) and overall a pain to go to. If you love the history of photography, take this class. If you dont like dry humor, dont.

David is one of the best photo teachers I've had. Grades fairly and comes up with interesting projects that I always had fun shooting. Can be stressful getting prints done in time for critique with the printers but that goes for any IU photo class. All-around a great person and professor. Would 100% take another class taught by him!

One of my favorite professors at IU. If youre actually interested in photography, hes an amazing mentor and gives some really great feedback to help you get better at the craft. His humor isnt for everybody but he knows what hes talking about and is at the perfect level of professional/ not stuffy. Fair grader and interesting projects.

Quite harsh for new photographers. Lots of interesting photography history but I wish the class was more technical. I enjoy his sense of humor but he comes across slightly awkward and condescending at times. I can't bring myself to dislike him though. If you find yourself even a little lost at the start of the semester, be prepared to put in work.
