Reviews of professor James Achelpohl

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
He is a wonderful professor for first year Architecture students. You will do lots of sketches, and I mean a lot but he really enforces "practices means perfect". The work load is on the heavier side but it is nothing too difficult. His instructions can be a little vague at first but it is nothing a one on one conversation can't solve.

Todd cares about participation and attendance more than anything! He's not one of those professors who tries to intimidate you and maintains a casual studio setting. Be ready to pin up for the whole class and frequently. Not an overly harsh grader but you do have to work for it. Take risks in your projects, show up, and be eager to learn.

I loved having Todd for studio. He was a great introduction to the degree. You will hear lots of things about him, but save any judgement until you take the class. He is absolutely hilarious, and he is almost always joking, it just takes some time to realize he isnt being serious. You will absolutely warm up to him! I would take him again anytime!
