Reviews of professor Jordan Basadre

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
best option for this class he's forgiving with his grades and willing to give second chances. His instructions are hard to understand tho and that's where you can mess up on an assignment. No book and just 2 quizzes the rest are assignments. You have to get an adobe sub for the class but beware when its time to cancel there's $40 cancellation fee!

Take this class in person & try not to miss any class! You're more likely to pass the class if you do this. It's honestly a hard class especially if you've never used Adobe software. The professor will help you dont worry! He explains things step by step and will go over it 500 times if he has to. He WANTS you to succeed. Just dont miss class!

You definitely have to work for your grade especially if you're a beginner in digital design. First half of the class seemed very straightforward until you had to create your own projects. He leaves very helpful feedback and responds to emails very quickly. Just make sure to give yourself lots of time to work on assignments and give your best work.

This class was rough. Assignments are extremely time consuming and intricate, especially when you have to create your own projects. You will likely rely on YouTube to be your professor, as he provides little to no help. I basically had to teach myself how to use Adobe software. I'm glad this class is over, take it in the summer if possible.

Honestly, do not take this class. You must use InDesign for everything and he gives you 0 instruction how to use it. Unless you are a mind reader, please do not take this class. I have never gotten anything less than an A for a graphic design class, except this one, and his comments are incredibly rude. He is the worst professor I have ever taken.

His instructions are never clear and he will give you a low grade if you don't somehow read his mind. He grades low if he doesn't agree with your designs, defeating the whole purpose of being creative in a digital editing and design class. Only positive is he lets you resubmit AFTER he gives the instructions as "feedback."

This professor is the worst grader ever he has no sympathy for his students he wants you to fail it seems like. I asked him several times for feedback he gave none. He also responds to no one via email so good luck DO NOT TAKE HIM

Hes hard to rate because if youre good at Adobe Indesign and creative then you might be fine, however for people like me the class was extremely difficult because he expected us to turn in expert work. He did let us resubmit but even then I never got a perfect 10/10. This B was my lowest grade in a long time. Im glad I took him in the summer!
