Great professor! Very kind (this rating is based from Ceramics)
She is great and cares for her students, she is also very encouraging, and helpful. Relatable. Happy to have her

O'Donnell does not have much involvement in this class, only lecturing once a week and much of the work is done by the GAs who lead studio time. easy class, only a 250 word paper a week or a quiz along with a project in the art studio but you are given plenty of time to do it in class. Don't skip more than 3 classes or your grade will drop

Had her for ceramics, she is absolutely amazing. One of my favorite professors by far. Her demos are phenomenal. MUCH better than Ben. Frick that guy.

Laura's class is VERY test heavy, so if you don't do well on the exams, good luck with passing the class. She has Zoom office hours. She has 4 unit exams and 1 paper. The exams are timed, which sucks and is stressful. a lot of memorizing material for these timed exams, but she's great at responding to discussion boards.

This professor needs to cut back on the expectations for the GEN ED classes she teaches. Too heavy tests that are inadequately timed and nerve-wracking. She expects you to learn and memorize everything and anything about this class. Even though, most of us are not ART MAJORS. She is the toughest grader I have ever encountered in my three years. DNR

A ton of work expected for a small gen-ed course. Very hard tests- which are not multiple choice. big paper, discussion posts every week. good luck, the tests will KIll your grade.
