Just do the work. Show up to class. And you'll pass. Effort counts and she will recognize that. Compared to the Graphic Design 1 class I've taken, her projects are reasonably paced and not made to stress-test her students. She does not lecture often and only when new material needs to be covered. It's mostly like a workshop in class, not stressful!

There was only one assignment due per week (one critique, and one submission). However, the assignments usually took quite a bit of time. I liked how she left comments in the critique before we submitted our assignments, though, she sometimes took weeks to grade homework. It was not clear in the syllabus that a 4.0 was 98% and above.

NO TEXTBOOK USE, HALLELUJAH. Besides that, she gives a reasonable amount of time for each project. It's pretty much a project each week, and she puts aside a day of class for peer critique BEFORE the project is due on the next day of class. It's mostly working days in class, she doesn't lecture unless it's new material. She is there to help!

Overall fun and useful class to learn graphic design. It's nice to get feedback on assignments and get to perfect them before we actually turn them in each week. She's accessible but a slow grader. Some things didn't get graded till the day final grades were due. We also had a quiz with short answer questions that we didn't even learn in class.

Pretty good class! There were only a few projects- one a week (+ discussion comment about project); but pretty time consuming, especially for someone that is very detail specific. Teacher gives good feedback tho! Also; get ready to use Adobe Creative Cloud's "InDesign" program. Easy to use, once you get used to it.

I am an international student and I dont like this class so far. I didnt learn anything. No body likes the way she teaches.

An overall good class where you learn to use Adobe InDesign to create designs for a pretend business. There are critique sessions before you turn in your assignments so you'll have chances to perfect your works. I gave 4 instead of 5 since there are writing assignments about your pretend business that's unrelated to graphic design.

Be aware that a 4.0 is 98%...kind of ridiculous! But pretty easy class, not too much work, everything done using inDesign. Takes foreverrr to grade and sometimes marks points down for small things, but the "critique" discussion boards where you post your design before submitting help in getting feedback. Textbook not required. Some extra credit.

You work on a big project the whole class but before you submit things she has critique discussions to get feedback on your work to receive the best grade. The projects are a lot of work so do not wait until the last minute to do the assignments.
