Reviews of professor Eric Dederding

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Eric is not very accessible, and when he is, he is condescending and curt. He doesn't do a great job explaining the concepts, and then grades harshly when you don't understand. Avoid this guy.

Out of date modules.  Timed quizzes.  If new to adobe you will HATE this class.  No positive feedback.  All the requirements for assignments are not covered in modules.  By the time I got to my 2nd magazine layout I just stopped doing the class.  All the requirements for assignments were not covered in modules.  I went to the Dean.

Eric prides himself on professionalism and expects his students to do the same. I recommend reading the assignment requirements a few times over and follow it closely when doing them. There are usually 6 assignments due every week. Late work is accepted with a 10% deduction which is really nice. Overall, the class is very informative.

Class is easy and very well laid out. His lectures/pdf's are clear, precise and organized. I had no trouble following the curriculum. His instructions are easy to understand. Definitely a good professor.

I personally would not take this class again with Dederding.  He is a tough grader. A lot of the lecture materials given for the lesson's are not helpful. I spent a lot of time researching how to do assignments on my own. His assignment requirements don't match the grading rubric. He was awful to communicate with to ask for help.

The class itself is very informative, however, he grades extremely harsh and I am very experienced in Adobe Softwares but he grades so poorly and doesn't give feedback on how to fix the errors. If I would email to ask for help, he was rude in his response (if he ever responded). The final was also 4 different HUGE assignments that made 0 sense.
