Reviews of professor Trokon Nagbe

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
He isn't a good professor as in teaching or interacting with. Honestly I really didn't learn nothing that I already knew and I feel bad for those students (beginners) who was hoping to learn something cuz you don't . He want more than what students are able to give and very bias to skill students. His instructions and grading is just mind blowing.

It seemed as if he was learning the software with us and did not understand it himself. He should not be teaching it without a full understanding. After mediocre teaching he expected amazing projects, which was unattainable without proper guidance.

I'm disappointed. I tried reaching out to the professor to know why I had a bad grade on my final to learn what I did badly to improve next time, but I didn't receive any response from him. Professor required all students to be at home; otherwise, they would be marked late/absent; I couldn't be at home by going to campus in person after his class

DO NOT TAKE THIS COURSE IF YOU CAN'T DRAW. Everyone in the class had experience but me. He continuously made shameful comments about me to the class and compared my work to a child's. He wants you to draw how he wants you to draw. He never fully praised anyones art. It was always "Not bad" or "ok". For a beginner my work was worth an A- atleast.

Was always excited for his class. He really cares about the art you make and the assignments he assigns, which makes him a hard grader. There were definitely some soul-crushing critiques I witnessed. Dont halfass it, make your best work and youll do fine!

Had Trokon for a 2-shu intro drawing class and it was the worst experience I've had in college. Trokon showed no respect for students or the effort they put into their work, feedback was rarely offered and (without exception) negative. Low grades were often given with no comments and he was very childish when asked for help or guidance. Switch out

If you're not good at art do not take it. He grades based on what he wants and not based how much work you put into your work. His class is boring and felt like it took forever. Felt like I couldn't communicate with him because he never understood what I was trying to tell him. Nice guy tho

Trokon was not respectful when giving feedback. Often he made insensitive comments trying to relate to students. His expectations were far exceeded by his teaching abilities. He had very high expectations for his students which is respectable, however he did not have clear guidelines for projects so expectations were failed. Not recommended.

You have to work very hard to achieve an A in this class. He has very high expectations for his students and is harsh in critiques. The projects are difficult but you will learn a lot in the end.
