Reviews of professor Claudia Wainer

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Professor Wainer really has a grasp of Rhino (the modeling program). It is really important that you pay attention during her half of the lecture time to get all the tips to complete the week's modeling assignment. Sometimes, she can be a little cold towards the students, but overall I had a positive experience.

Claudia is actually a nice professor, if you do work that shows you are putting in effort. If you show up with work that could have been done within the hour, she would be reasonably disappointed. She also cares about her students' wellbeing. She is hard on the work she gives, but you should take her if you wish to improve significantly and learn.

The professor didnt answer any of my emails until three months into the semester. Since the class consisted of 120 students, there was no individual feedback on projects, and things werent graded until finals week so you had no idea how you were doing. That said I still got an A by just following directions of the assignments.

If you don't know how to work the app, you won't understand the class. It's click after click w little to no explanation. Also, you might get some attitude if u don't hear the first time. YT will be ur Bestie for this class. Won't improve your skills. Class is not recorded for the mere purpose of you making your own research.

Professor Wainer really makes her students work for their grades. Her tough criticism may make her seem to have a snarky and condescending attitude at first, but as the semester continues she'll warm up and provide really intuitive feedback. Also, she was very understanding if you occasionally couldn't meet all the requirements for class sometimes.

Assigns so much work, almost has no understanding of workload. difficult to follow lectures, usually a lot of information given at once. snarky and rude personality

Claudia is a perfectly fine studio instructor. That being said I don't think I learned as much from her as from other instructors. You'll do totally fine in her studio as long as you show up to every studio meeting (duh!) and give her class some effort. If you have problems with these two things then maybe you should re-asses your major.

She is honestly the worst teacher ive had in my life.

She didn't teach students how to use the program at all, she simply dove right in to homework assignments, and then pushed you off to TA's and googling if you didn't understand. Super frustrating.

Professor Wainer teaches Rhino like you already know how to use it. When students ask questions, she usually answers in a belittling way like how do you not know how to do this? or obviously you use this command. She doesnt record the lectures but that doesnt matter because her lectures are confusing. Youtube tutorials are easier to follow.
