Reviews of professor Swati Sardesai

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
I don't know what "attitude" people are referring to. She is a bit sassy but Ms.Sardesai is the most respectful professor ever & is very caring and sweet. I had an opportunity to work w her for a few weeks last year & learned a lot and met some interesting people! She told me I'm a good artist & inspired me in a lot of ways. She's so interesting!

The class includes no test but one hard quiz, therefore almost all assignments were to hand draw projects except the last 2 projects which had the option of using a computer. Attendance is mandatory during lectures because that's where she informs students the most on the assignment. The assignments weren't hard, however, she grades way too hard.

She was disrespectful. Didn't help. Times I asked her for help. I was left behind. She made it difficult to complete the course.

Hard grader. She is more interested in critiquing your work than you graduating, This is a 1317 level course and she's grading as if we're professionals. I received 4 A's in my other classes and a C in her class. Wouldn't recommend, look elsewhere.

For this class she is tough on grading but for a good reason. It's not the grade that truly matters (ok, yes for graduating-), it is how you use the principals of GD in your work without going overboard. Although I was struggling, Swati has really taught me a lot about GD even after my mistakes. Trust me when I say that her class is worth it.

I took her class and it was amazing. She gives good feedback and my drawing skills have improved since. Her assignments are not difficult if you are experienced with drawing.

 I took her class online and I feel like she doesn't have the best communication skills. She doesn't use the textbook often. The directions were not very clear and if you ask for help she just told you to re-read the directions or sometimes she gave you different directions.

She is familiar with the industry and the craft in more ways that one, and doesn't waste your time. There is an expected level of intelligence and critical thinking necessary - this isn't just a "learn Adobe (X)" class, but a class that is open to discussions and industry standards. Well design course, no time wasters.

She KNOWS what she's talking about and helps you understand anything you are having trouble with if asked. AMAZING professor, caring and wants you to succeed; there for you every step of the way, even outside of class too as long as you schedule an appointment with her. YOU just have to want it for yourself and be willing to show up and work hard.
