Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Hard marker, treats everyone like they are in art school when they are not, very hard to do amazing in the course.

I had Professor Lee for motion graphics. He is a super nice guy and very friendly but I did not enjoy his teaching/grading style. He grades insanely hard on the midterm and final. He doesn't give a rubric, show previous class work, or give an assignment sheet. He teaches and grades as if he is teaching at an art school. Again, super nice guy tho.

Midterm critiques were very chill. he gave a few suggestions and sent us off. There's no rubric or clear guidelines for the main project so we don't know what he expected. However, many received low marks with no explanation/feedback, leaving us confused about our marks and stressed, not knowing how to fix it for the final.

He is not that bad , but yes he is a hard marker and picky. If you don't participate in class discussions, class and ask questions and etc, you might not do well. BUT if you do particpate, then hes not that bad. Hes pretty okay at giving feedback. Attendance is mandatory unless if its a study period.

Very tough marker. Get prepared for your work to get critiqued a lot. He has very high standards for what your work should look as he expects everyone to be at his level. Would avoid as other instructors mark easier. If you want a good mark in this course, study for the in-class exams.

Probably the worst prof i've ever known, condescending, never gives rubrics so you don't know what is expected of you, and when you ask he's rude and talks down to you like you're stupid, and then when he grades you, he points out all these flaws - but how would we know, if there is no rubric for any of the assignments to begin with?

Lee will take off marks for work elements that are subjective and don't impact the actual quality of the assessment. I had him for web design and he gave feedback on part of my site, which was fair enough, but the portion he criticized is beat by beat the same as his portfolio website. Can be nice at times but his ego gets in the way of teaching.

Although Lee seems to have a bad rap here, When I had him for RTA103, he was a very good prof and helped everyone overcome any issues or problems they found in their projects. each tutorial was concisely explained, and the assignments were presented in front of everyone with fair and valid criticism.

I've never had a professor so unaccommodating or determined to make things difficult for students until I took this class and met Lee Henderson. He refuses to give rubrics or expectations, and i wholeheartedly believe he wouldn't give you an extension if you were hit by a semi truck. Stay away.
