Reviews of professor Jessica D'Elena-Tweed

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Jessica was a good lecturer even though her lectures were very dense. Make sure to attend section because that's where you will get your participation and attendance points. There is one poster due each week and you do have to print out the posters at FedEx so make sure to complete your work early-ish because that can take up to 12 hours to print.

Lectures are so useless but are mandatory for attendance. You aren't taught how to use Adobe or how to do graphic design but are encouraged to "play around and discover", yea no thanks. Lots of printing involved and you have to attend a weekly 3-hour discussion. It's an easy A, but an annoying one.

Her lecture was inspirational, slide was wonderful, and the class was very well organized compared to other visual arts courses.

The lectures are so amazing, and the assignments were well adapted to zoom learning and the school's loss of Adobe licensing. Coolest prof ever, she really knew her stuff and was so engaging that even my parents wanted to watch lecture with me. Fair grading by TAs, sections were long but fun, good environment to be vulnerable with creative work.

Definitely one of the more interesting classes I've taken. Lectures are awfully long, but projects are interesting. Discussions are important, you are expected to talk and give a lot of feedback. I spent some money printing all the posters for this class so be ready to spend money, but it was fun in my opinion. Attendance was taken every day.

She's an amazing, insightful lecturer. Holds the most interesting and thoughtful lectures, really makes you appreciate graphic design/art in general. Accessible during office hours and gives great feedback on your individual work. She's super cool and funny to, really wish she taught more classes at UCSD because I would take them!

Lectures are long and make people sleepy, with dim lighting too. Labs require a lot of work put into the course and you need to print a lot. Attendance was taken at lectures during random times and you have to check in with your TA physically. I enjoyed making posters and the projects and learned how to use a few softwares.
