Reviews of professor Hannah Nelson

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Im not a photography major but took this class as an elective. This class was very amazing and insightful even for someone who doesnt know much about a camera. Hannah is very supportive, funny, and knowledgeable. Assignments require you to think outside the box, channel your inner creativity, and go above and beyond which is slightly challenging.

Professor Hannah has a great personality and the classroom environment is fun at times. She is however a very tough grader when it comes to projects. Her grading criteria for projects is not the clearest, grading the images you turn in but will find the smallest of mistakes and errors in them, therefore deducting points. Getting an A/B is not easy.

She seems very knowledgeable and is a photographer in her own right. This is an online course. She was very delinquent in terms of providing feedback on the otherwise very strict requirements for projects. There was almost no feedback at all and any feedback that was provided was Way after the fact and too late to benefit from for the next project.

Prof. Nelson made taking Photo 1 fun. Gives great feedback and helps you to see things from your own perspective through the lens. Her lectures cover test materials so take good notes, do assignments, tests and projects and youll pass. Shes experienced, cares and wants you to do well and is always available to help

Prof. Nelson is unparalleled to any other professor at SMC. She gives immediate feedback & grades in a way that helps you succeed in your next assignment. She expects 100% from you as she gives 100% to you.

As a disabled student, Prof. Nelson was attentive enough to refer me SMC's "Wellbeing" Center which helped my mental health & quality of life.
