Reviews of professor Bob Hankin

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
This university has a number of required courses with this teacher which is such a shame. He is rude and gives terrible feedback. Wasted your time with hour long videos of nothing. Then, after all that says you the student is in the wrong for not following directions. He grades SUBJECTIVELY, based on his own tastes so watch out.

Honestly it feels no matter what you do i. his class your work is never good enough. He takes off points for every little small thing, & its impossible to figure out what he wants. Good luck if you have to take him.

GD210 Design Basics. Minimal reading: Graphic Design: The New Basics by Ellen Lupton. (I would have preferred more.) Straightforward assignments. Encouragement to experiment. Plausible explanation of thought/design process enough to secure a good grade if work was a bit "out there." Understands design and has real-world experience in the field.

While the textbooks are interesting, his lecture videos were very long and not because they included useful information. He wastes your time when he can't remember things and goes off on extremely long, condescending rants about how students are lazy and he's "not your mom". He had a very bad attitude and was extremely disrespectful and immature.

I would have given him a 0/5 but that's not an option. This professor is a zero because he grades based on HIS opinion, even if you follow the assignment to the letter. When you ask him to provide items such as a rubric, he says that one is not available, and he is very immature and passive aggressive. He retaliates if you call him on his behavior.

Bob Hankins is first presented as a caring instructor who can be flexible with you if you talk to him. However he is actually not that way at all. He grades harshly and nothing can be turned in late. It doesn't matter if you were ill or had a family emergency. He will give you a fat 0 and not let you get a re-grade.
