Reviews of professor Heidi Almosara

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
If you did something she liked that's what determined your grade, not the effort put into it. Tons of tedious assignments. At first seems relatable and funny, but once you start assignments & critiques you'll be wishing you could drop. Unfortunately had to have her again for my lecture class and was met with more unrealistic expectations. Womp.

You cant just do art for the sake of doing art in her class. Everything has to have some deep meaning, and if she doesnt like or understand it, youll get a bad grade. I talked with her about the meaning of my final project, and she approved everything, but then during the critique she acted like she didnt understand it and it was embarrassing.

Heidi does a great job at encouraging her students to succeed. If you care about your work; she cares. That being said, I spent more time in this class than I did in my anatomy course. It's a very assignment heavy class with little down time. She's new to UVU and experimented a few assignments on us. She really likes using acrylics.

Shes a nice person but shes definitely a tough grader and will call you out in front of everyone if you mess up on any of your projects, She can be rude sometimes theres back to back assignments and projects so be ready to have lots to do. Wouldnt take an art class with her again

Sometimes disrespectful in personal interactions. Assigned a supply kit that was meant to be all-inclusive but then gave a project where additional materials needed to be purchased. Very little variety in mediums used, and little instruction provided for those mediums. Has detailed rubrics for projects, but grades on personal opinions.
