Reviews of professor Victoria Ackerman

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
YouTube does her job for her. Not clear on grading criteria, slow grader so you have to guess your grade, do too much or too little and she will fail you either way. Uses students for free club promotions and work. Do not take if you are already active in the digital media field.

I agree with her late grading, she blamed it on some program not working - we're only in week 2 of class. I also asked for clarification on her file naming conventions and received a passive-aggressive, condescending response. I almost feel like it isn't worth asking for help because I don't get a clear answer.

This teacher barely teaches anything, everything is from the ultra outdated book or youtube videos. One of the required books was almost never used, the other wasn't even mentioned outside of the syllabus. The discussions are a joke. Quizzes are read and regurgitate the info. It's not hard, but would be better if the teacher tried.

Professor Ackerman is a good choice for online graphics classes. Her syllabus is clear and she will let you work ahead. She is not a tough grader and seems quite understanding if any issue comes up. There is definitely some learning on your own, but she does provide video resources. But often Youtube was my best friend to understand.

Don't totally understand all of the harsh reviews here, Professor Ackerman was great. I've appreciated all of the assignments and felt my design skills stretching with the new challenges that you don't get in some of the more straight-forward courses like Illustration or Publishing. 
Appreciated the flexibility and compassion

Only 25% would retake her, that should be enough warning. She doesnt grade assignments on time or at all, she gives more writing assignments than actual design assignments, along with YouTube links. If you are pursuing design with experience please save your money and learn from YouTube, since youll be spending time there anyway.

Her quizzes aren't quizzes at all but projects worth about 1 point. Her idea of teaching is giving a sheet with terms so students can write out definitions. As an educator, anyone with experience knows you can't teach words in isolation. A complete waste of time when you provide Youtube videos to do your job for you. Just a terrible professor.

This lady should win for the most incompetent professor I had ever had the displeasure of ever coming across! Not only does she not answer to emails and texts, but she is also notorious for being a late grader. You can't count on her for clarification. You'll end up with zero for a project you've done over a month ago!

This teacher doesn't teach !!  Her incompleteness shows she must be miserable with her job.
 Very unexplanatory with assignments and be AWARE to walk into an incomplete empty class/syllabus.
