Reviews of professor Shai Yeshayahu

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
I love shai he is my favourite professor yet. He gives great feedback on your process work. As long as you bring new work and show up to class every week you will do great. He focuses on the craft of the models a lot. Shai slays.

Before taking this class, I tried to mentally prep myself as I read some tough reviews about Prof Shai. It didn't work at all! While other profs of this course gave real studio time, Shai didn't as he talked for 3-5 hour straight while RANDOMLY PICKING ON YOU. If you want to do well, note everything he says and put his design beliefs above all. GL!

He's a good professor. However, his instructions can be vague and hard to understand which is why he is disliked by others. He will give you solid advice though and will tell you what you need to hear and not what you want to. He is a hard marker and he likes details and craftsmanship.

Super unclear teaching and also just kind of rude

Shai was a very good professor, he was definitely hard but he pushed you to do your very best. I thought he was a very reasonable marker. It is clear that he does care about his students success and gives you great suggestions to improve your work.

Great professor, obvious that he is very well educated and is passionate about his work, but he is very rude. Unclear on his explanations for project briefs and his lectures. You will have to produce work based on what he likes instead of what you want, even though it meets the criteria of the brief.

Overall, Shai is a fair prof. He is very vague with the instructions for assignments and will tell you the honest truth about what he thinks about your work, it can be harsh. He gives good feedback and if you listen to what he suggests and incorporate it into your work the way he wants (even if its not what you want) you will be successful.

I understand why some may think he isn't the most easy-going professor, because he tends to be very straight forward and blunt, but if you are on top of your work and proactive in asking questions and following his criteria, he is a very good and accommodating professor who will push you if he thinks you to be greater.

Gives good feedback on the things he likes, but messy feedback on stuff he doesnt like; best to record/write down whatever he says about your work. Kinda a hard grader, and usually assigns work every week. Get ready to develop a thick skin!

I really enjoyed IRD with Shai. He's actually really nice and it just takes time to adjust to his class. When he gives you feedback, you might take it hard, but I don't think he's all too bad! Just make sure to organize your time properly so you can bring adequate work for feedback!!! Time management is key with IRD.
