Reviews of professor Katherine Isaac

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
DO NOT recommend EVDS 1600 as an elective. Prof. Issac was kind but didn't do a whole lot. Mostly guest lectures and all the learning is through abstract readings and self-led, creative assignments; emphasis is definitely on 'design' rather than theory/history of env. design. I didn't feel like I learned much, yet this course took most of my time.

Katherine is super nice and easygoing. Unlike other profs, doesn't take studio too seriously, although you will have to work hard for an A. Instruction can be unclear, my best advice would be to follow your gut/your passions as she has been known to completely change her mind/forget what she told you from crit to crit.

Katherine is just amazing when it comes to ED2 Studio. She truly cares for students and gives amazing crits!! I am so happy i had her in the second semester. She is so kind and you can always count to talk to her on just about anything! She is like a kind mother, and a less strict kim IMO.

There are weekly assignments, some projects, and a test. The class mostly consisted of guest speakers and the assignments were strictly marked.

great prof. she does have weekly assignments which do get annoying but other than those her class is pretty easy to pass and even get high marks in.

She does not explain the projects well. The graders are tough and got high standards. Almost all classes are guest speakers. However, journals are mark boosters as long as u make it neat and tidy.

Shes a great prof yet can be very strict. Lectures were mostly guest speakers but they were interesting if you are into architecture. Projects were more open ended yet pretty easy. No exam but most of the projects were groups. Was a pretty easy course and she is great if you participate in class. Lectures were mandatory as she took attendance.

It was hard to reach her sometimes outside class which got frustrating really fast. Her assignments were anything too complicated. She is a really good teacher. Only think is if you have any questions for her. Try asking them during class cause you cant guarantee youll get the answers after class
