Reviews of professor Jason Falk

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Prof. Falk knows his stuff about type. He gives a fair amount of homework. But, he is a fair grader, as long as you hand something in. His lectures are fun, and he makes sure everyone logged in participates,

You need to prepare a lot of time for your projects for it to reflect well in your grade. Show up, participate, he can talk a lot but use that time to create your ideas. It wasn't easy but I managed to pull through.

Has a reputation for lacking empathy sometimes and caused at least one past student to withdraw during one of their last semesters. Tends to speak in circles, give clouded feedback, and changes criteria for assignments on the fly at times. Perhaps he was better in the past or it's a bad semester, but my experience was not ideal to say the least.

If you want a challenge and an opportunity to create beautiful pieces for your portfolio, then take Prof. Falk's class. Prof. Falk's class provides professional insights about the Graphic and Communications Design field. He offers real world situations and anecdotes to helps students fully understand the nuances of the field.

Design Studio. Spoke a lot about how having "empathy" while being a Graphic Designer is important, and showed little patience for the students who expressed lots of emotions. I'm a student who is dyslexic and felt the need to withdraw from this course, because I could not keep up with his teaching method. Ideally leaving a course is not an option.

Prof. Falk is hard, but he knows his stuff! If you are up for a challenge and want to learn something, then take his typography class. He gives you a lot of fun projects and he is clear and fair with grading. Our class changed to online, halfway through the semester, and he made himself available for one-on-one video meetings, during office hours.

Gives a lot of homework, have him twice a week and 2 or more homework are given each time u have the class. So around 4 a week. He not a bad professor but If u can handle the workload go for it. You need to have a binder with all the work from day 1 put in neatly.

This professor is okay! he gives good feedback on your work but sometimes when you are presenting your work he says some sentences which makes you feel insulted in front of the class. He gets angry easily and will point you out in the middle of his lecture. And if you come late to class he will give you that stare as if you're a high school student

This was a challenging class, but I enjoyed the weekly discussions and the assignments. The instructor was truthful with crit, and helped us stay organized week to week.
