Reviews of professor Matthew Donaldson

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
He is one of the toughest teachers I've ever had BUT he has helped me tremendously! I would never have come as far as I have without his guidance! He is a very tough grader and will never sugarcoat anything! He has made me a much better designer and when you get past his tough teacher persona he is actually a really cool guy!

Definitely a tough grader, but listen to the criticism he has to say. Yes, super tough and won't sugar coat it but is good feedback. Don't take his criticism personally. You have to work for a good grade! Don't expect to slack off and get a B. Hard work goes a long way, and attendance is mandatory so don't miss!

Professor Donaldson is the best art professor I have ever had. He does not hand out good grades, you really have to work for them. But if you put in the effort, you'll come out with the best portfolio pieces you could ask for. He is extremely informative, professional, and truly cares about the success of his students. Take him!

Provides great feedback and cares about helping people better understand how to use different programs such as InDesign and Illustrator. Wonderful Professor. He can be a bit nit-picky but it's just to help students see small mistakes and help them become better designers.

Absolutely amazing professor, the critiques are extremely helpful and he's always willing to give feedback to help every student improve their work--class related or not. Definitely a professor I look up to! He always states if he thinks his critique is subjective or not as well.
