Reviews of professor Lauren Kussro

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Professor Kussro is awesome! My favorite art teacher at UHCL! Gives great feedback and will push you to be better. She'll help you achieve anything you can dream up for your artwork. Very funny! It's not a "gimme" class where you can do nothing and expect to pass. You will have to work. But what you get out of it are amazing results.

Extremely tough professor. Its very hard to do work to her expectations. Doesnt really give clear directions on some assignments. Strict grader as well

First day of class she told us all she hates teaching. I should have dropped it then. I don't know how she has so may good reviews as she is nothing like what others said here.

This professor won't coddle you but rather make you develop ideas and be a better designer. Respect the process and actually try and the reward form her teaching will be noticed. The lessons learned are ones I already use professionally. It's a studio class so yeah don't miss class - that's kinda obvious. One of the best teachers in my opinion.

Kussro is not much of a tough grader but isn't also an easy A class. I am still currently taking her and she is a great professor. You need to try in this class and actually care about it. She helps a lot with pushing yourself out there and gives good feedback. If I could I would take her again.

Gives a booklet on the first day. Hang on to it you will need It. Takes time with each student and makes sure youre on the right track. Good about answering questions. She grades based on effort. Just do your best.

Really harsh grader. If you're absent 3-4 times, she will drop you a letter grade. 6 absences and you fail. You make meaningful art in this class - she's just really intense and a bit mean. No excuse works - just go to class. Expect to put a bunch of extra hours of work into projects outside of class per week.

I took this & the advanced, the 1st time oh the mood swings, the yelling, there was nothing we could do right. This semester I could see she was trying to be nicer but still not a compassionate teacher. It was near the end when she told us all to write her a good review as she was up for tenure when I realized why she was acting differently.

Attendance is mandatory and lots of time spent outside of class working on projects just so you can finish. Not necessarily difficult, but printmaking in general is very process heavy and time consuming. She grades based on cleanliness and amount of effort put in. She is one of the stricter art professors, but you'll do fine if you do your work.
