graded by very few assignments. and has overly strict policies, definitely avoid if possibleARTG1290 2026-07-09 15:13:25 +0000 UTC
This is such a fun class! Lectures are engaging and include great visual examples that make it easy to understand and retain concepts. Provides great clear feedback on projects and is easily accessible outside of class. Would definitely recommend taking a class with him if you have the chance!ARTG1290 2026-06-17 02:01:23 +0000 UTC
loved john's class a lot! he's so nice and his critique is helpful. his attendance is soo fun, he does these little activities every class. i really liked the projects too and my designs after taking his class have sharpened up. 10/10 would recommend for anybody looking to get into graphic design and typography.ARTG1290 2026-06-10 19:33:02 +0000 UTC
John is an amazing professor. His classes are so interactive and homework is easy and insightful. His projects are so fun, and great for portfolio. He is always willing to help you improve. Attendance is mandatory, but it's a design class. Show up and participate, and you will learn so much. Would love to take another class by him in the future!ARTG1290 2026-06-10 19:22:32 +0000 UTC
could not recommend lessARTG1290 2026-04-13 18:07:45 +0000 UTC
john really cares about his students and will always be ready to help you out especially outside of class hours. ive taken two of his classes so far and the work is genuinely so easy i just think the other raters don't like the strict mandatory attendance policy (which is in all design classes btw)ARTG1290 2026-04-09 03:15:51 +0000 UTC
A great professor!ARTG1290 2026-04-06 19:32:06 +0000 UTC
Great professor! The workload is good, and overall, I learned a lot from this class!ARTG1290 2026-04-06 19:30:43 +0000 UTC
John is nice! He gives back what you put inARTG1290 2026-03-25 23:09:18 +0000 UTC
lectures are boring . thinks too highly of himselfARTG1290 2026-03-21 20:55:49 +0000 UTC
"Three unexcused absences will result in automatic failure in the class." are we serious rnARTG1290 2026-01-31 07:06:24 +0000 UTC
I have never seen a syllabus with such strict policies (specifically for attendance). Also the fact that this intro to fonts course gives more work than any of my 4-credit class... If I had a time machine, I would go back to the add-drop period and remove typographic systems from my schedule.ARTG1290 2026-01-23 02:12:28 +0000 UTC
"MidTerm (25%) + Final (25%)." For an intro to Typography course are you kiddingARTG1290 2026-01-21 21:25:14 +0000 UTC
genuinely so boring and SO strict for no reasonARTG1290 2026-01-20 17:10:06 +0000 UTC
Such a boring class, takes himself way to seriously, assigns too much work, absences are counted as unexcused unless you warn him TWO WEEKS in advance, and 3 unexcused absences is a fail. There are also two tests, a midterm and a final, and he doesn't help with learning software or anything of valueARTG1290 2026-01-20 17:08:19 +0000 UTC
