Reviews of professor Eric Dederding

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
All of the lecture materials were out of date and so I would just avoid his class altogether. If you wan't an easy A, this isn't the class. If you want to learn alot, this isn't your class. If you hate yourself, this just might be the one for you. He grades harshly without exlanation exept a rubric which is so broad its hard to learn from.

All his quizzes are timed. As a person with adhd, it was hard for me to focus on the questions and not worry about the time going down. I dont understand why professors time quizzes or exams. Not everyone can get it done with in 15 minutes, some people have to read the questions 5 times before fully understanding what is being asked. Do not take.

For the first part of the semester, there are assignments where you answer questions and they are easy. Then there are four major projects due at the end and as long as you follow the instructions they are easy. They can be time consuming but they are pretty easy.

I was given professor Dederding two weeks after the semester started as a replacement professor. Terrible experience he made me hate the InDesign software. He takes forever to grade and grades very harshly. He doesn't give any good feedback, just a rubric which doesn't help as it is sometimes not consistent with assignment requirements.

For the 4 projects, you have to make a video. I used adobe spark and added photos then just recorded my voice. I thought it was going to be awful to have to show videos of my project, but it was fine and actually easy, and you don't have to record yourself. Once you post a video of your project, you reply and get feedback from other students.

Avoid if possible! Assignment requirements and grading rubric requirements didn't match, had to check both for EVERY assignment. Timed quizzes are a joke WITHOUT using a textbook for the class. Instruction Material outdated or non-existent, be prepared to teach yourself the curriculum. Online class format NOT organized.

The assignments were pretty clear but be prepared for lots of homework. Seems to me that he was a tough grader, but if you read his instructions/lectures and grading criteria you will do great. Didnt like the timed exam ( cant go back if you exit out in ) that you get for each module you start on.
