Reviews of professor Sarah Azamy

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I was so excited to take this class, but when I say I struggled I mean it. If you're not a Photoshop pro you will be lost, as it is not graded as an intro-level design course. Class was 100% online and communication was tough.

I already knew graphic design so I loved her class. She works at her other job so she doesn't have time to talk to students outside of class and her classes are rushed but she's there until the end of the class for questions. Loved the 3 hour class, she would always let us out around an hour and a half in. Final project is optional if at a B.

The entire semester I was riding the struggle bus. I did well in the end, but not because of her... Google and YouTube were my savior & taught me far more than she did. If you're an MCOM major, this class is just an elective. DO NOT take it! There are other options. This class will give you nothing but stress and frustration. Trust me.

Professor Azamy literally took over 2 months to grade a 3 exercises. I had assignments submitted in October that didn't get graded until the day before Christmas Eve. Her instructions are unclear, the workload doesn't match the course, and above all else, she never actually teaches. It's a prerecorded video lecture that explains almost nothing.

Sarah is terrible, she goes way to fast during lectures. This class is made for people will different skill sets. Most people were lost, and she never helped them. She doesn't provide any feedback, and barely answers emails. She just acts like she doesn't want to be there.

Takes forever to grade work, and won't even give feedback if she takes off points (nearly impossible to receive 100 on assignments). Won't know your grade until the last second possible and doesn't teach.

She posts videos showing how to complete assignments. This helps but you have to play with the apps to figure things out. I found this class to be fun, although she does grade-tough. I think her worded feedback is tougher than her actual grades given which is why I ended with a good grade still. Make sure to follow all directions and you're set.

This class was very unorganized and her grading rubrics and requirements are very very hard to understand. She forgets to do weekly announcements so you don't know what's due. She's a slow responder to emails and very slow on grading assignments. Her rubrics are hard to understand and grades don't add up.

If you don't have any prior experience with Adobe Creative Cloud programs, AVOID this class at all costs. She tells you what she wants to see but fails to explain how to do it. The only reason I did well is because I used Creative Cloud in a previous course. She's a nice lady, just not a good teacher. Don't take this class unless you have to.
