Reviews of professor Zachary Vernon

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
i just took mr vernon during the fall of 2021 and he was super cool and funny. He basically lets you grade yourself but he is in the background making sure you grade yourself right. The critiques for this art 2200 are way better than most classes i never felt bad or shy at all. i come from the design world so everything he teaches is spot on.

Professor Z is one of my favorite profs. His grading system is a little unconventional but it almost makes you want to work harder for it and put in more effort to prove you deserve a good grade. He's very compassionate and understanding, especially with the pandemic. He's very straight to the point and isn't afraid to push his students to the top.

He doesn't have a grading system, instead your learning outcome will determine your final grade, which you won't know until the end. He has a very high standard, as he wants his student to be more creative and out of their comfort zone in a way. Its a struggle to figure out what he wants in your illustration at times. I don't recommend taking him.

I rarely rate, but please take Seth Ferris for Concept Development instead. I had Vernon and failed with him. He expects way too much. Took the class again but this time with Seth Ferris and he made it a whole lot easier! Easily passed the class.

I came to give him a one-star review only because his words did not align with his actions. At the beginning of the semester, he said he would allow late work as long as we turned it in & attendance wasn't required; however, later in the semester, he changed his mind about late submissions & attendance. He lowered student's grades for not showing

I don't often rate professors, but his class was absolutely terrible. He doesn't give grades and interferes too much. don't take his class.
