Reviews of professor Jon Zmikly

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
My class was a hybrid style where he would lecture one day and send a video lecture the second day of the week. This class is solo project heavy. We had a few of them throughout the semester and they were very interesting. We learn about a wide variety of topics, which is cool. I do wish the class had a slower pace though.

Very fair, gives good feedback and can explain the material well.

Jon Zmikly is passionate about whatever it is he's teaching. The lectures are fun, and always interesting. Attendance to the lectures is not mandatory, but the labs are. He's always available to talk about the class. He's young, hip, and cool. It's a very hands-on class with two exams. I would definitely take any class he teaches.

This professor was AWESOME! Definitely one of my favorite classes- website building, CSS coding, app building. I never thought I would have fun learning about coding. I made a B because I missed an assignment or 2, but it is easy to make an A if you do all the assignments. Read both the rubric and instructions! They can be tricky. Awesome class!

Great Professor. Lectures are not mandatory, but really interesting so I suggest attending if you can. Labs are mandatory and missing them will affect your grade. Professor Zmikly is super organized easy to follow. Expect a lot of assignments. Nothing too hard, but can be time consuming. You will def learn some new digital tricks.

Lab instructors need more vetting. Failed 1st time despite quality work, lab instructor was computer science major with senioritis. We really clashed, she disrespected arts/creativity. Gave unclear instructions, bad attitude. Next lab instructor graded high despite poor quality work (COVID). Projects were great, learned useful HTML and web design.

The class is time-consuming but he does a great job of explaining. One of the best professors I've ever had.

Professor Zmikly is the coolest ever! You have to work for your grades in this class but the assignments are so fun and he gives you so much creative freedom. I really enjoyed his digital media class and I am taking him again next semester! He is clear with his expectations and is a great professor!

Easily the best professor and class I had this semester. You have to sign up for a lab as well and I really enjoyed my lab class. (the TA was cool and graded easy) Jon teaches the actual lecture part of the class and he's not boring and actually cares about what he's teaching. Everything is clearly graded and the projects are enjoyable.

Hes serious about his work, but also super chill! I love having him for FDOM, and hes kind and is always willing to help if needed. We do a lot in the class, but its all worth it!
