Reviews of professor Dana McMahan

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
She is a great professor to be connected to because she knows so many industry professionals and has done the job before That being said, I wish I was more challenged in the class because it was pretty easy. Granted, it was a COVID semester, but I wish we did more. She is a great professor, though!

Honestly this is just a love letter to Dana. Shes the best professor Ive had at UNC. She knows what shes doing, but she lets you do your own thing. If you want to do something, shell give you control of it and offer guidance if needed. She really helped solidify my love for art direction and design. Love u <3

Dana is such a sweet and accomplished person who really has a passion for art direction and design. However, classes oscillated between doing an absurd amount of work in a very short amount of time or sitting in a classroom for an hour doing nothing. The projects are fun though! and it is a fairly easy class

Dana is caring but she does not teach the topic at hand. The lectures are sparse and there are a lot of vague conceptual lessons & assignments. I don't think we really learned what we were supposed to learn. I would not take her again and I don't understand the hype.

Dana is the best professor, if you ever get a chance to take a class with her I would definitely recommend it. She is inspiring and her class made me love advertising. She knows so much about the industry and she is always willing to talk to students who are interested in learning more.

Class is not very organized and you will not really understand what is going on the entire year. By the end of the year we had barely done any work. Despite that, Dana is very knowledgable in the field and incredibly kind. I am not sure the fashion industry is for me but she made the class enjoyable and fun.

Dana is really cool and knows her stuff. A bit disorganized but overall great class.
