Reviews of professor Corey Willis

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Overall, while Professor Willis has a likable and entertaining personality, I did not enjoy being in his class at all. He teaches as if he is a middle school art teacher, and a lot of the projects could be mistaken for middle school art projects. The only plus side is that the class is mind-numbingly easy.

I felt the structure of the class made the assignments, projects, and learning Illustrator very manageable. All assignments worked on in class or assigned in a week were due the week after.

This class was a super easy A as long as you do exactly what is required. Creativity isn't a necessity as long as you meet the criteria for each submission. Weekly submissions and 2 big projects rather than 4-5 like other studios. Overall solid choice.

Easily my favorite class of the quarter! The class is heavily project based (usually one main project per week) that cater to all interests/majors. I always looked forward to this class. Professor is a really funny and sweet dude. His music taste is fantastic (one week was 80s, another Disney. next week? who knows).

Professor Willis provides such an engaging learning environment for his students. He sometimes have a wacky way of explaining feedback but it honestly works. He won't dock down points for doing the bare minimum (that still meets criteria) but he'll definitely speak up when you're doing something great and creative and will give you praise for it.

Professor Willis is very personable and talented. He is super intelligent when it comes to design and really shows you the possibilities out there. That said, he was a tough and almost unfair grader, and his work load was a little excessive though manageable if you do it at the right specific time. 
Get ready to take feedback and pay attention.

Maybe me and professor Willis are too different but I really didn't like him. I didn't find him funny or interesting, I just thought he was weird. He plays the same music over and over and his constant mannerisms will make you want to scream by the end of the quarter. He separates the class by skill level and the pros have to help him teach.

Corey was a great visual design systems professor. He is very up to date on the current design world and he was always showing us interesting designers and rebrands. His class was very organized and every week we had small assignments that added up into a final style guide. He knew how to give great feedback and he was a very easy grader.

Is a fun class and prof, but there's a lot of work. Reading required outside of class, but there's ample class time to finish projects. You make a lot of stuff, and will have a sizable portfolio from class, even if the work seems elementary. Clear grading criteria. Organization is a must to keep track of all assignment elements. Good critiques.
