Terrado is very knowledgeable in her field, but this class is draining. Boring lectures& extremely boring busy work/assignments. Did not feel like I learned anything, but got a very high 2048 score.ARTG1270 2025-02-26 17:27:35 +0000 UTC
I took ARTG 5150 as an entrance course into the Information Design and Data Visualization program and loved it a lot. Now I definitely have a better idea on how to map my data with visual channels. Also super great to meet with Kate outside of class, there's always feedback to be received on work.ARTG5150 2021-09-30 22:25:46 +0000 UTC
Kate is my favorite design professor I have met thus far her class, despite being online synchronous my experience in her class has been nothing but enjoyable and inspirational. She is very supporting and gives you good feedback for your work and teaches her students to take ownership of their work. Best prof to take ARTG1250 with!ARTG1250 2021-05-04 02:33:25 +0000 UTC
I really enjoyed having Kate. She was always interesting to listen to. The class I had with her was only a one-credit but everyone that I know who had her for four credits really enjoyed her. If you have the chance to take a class with her, do it.ARTF1000 2020-12-31 18:09:49 +0000 UTC
She is obviously an expert in her field, and it was great to be able to learn from her.ARCH5150 2020-08-24 16:51:53 +0000 UTC
She is such a kind professor; and very inspirational. Lectures are a little boring/basic but if you can take the studio portion 1271 with her definitely do! She gives great 1-on-1 feedback on projects and just overall super sweet and fun. Would love to take her class again!ARTG1270 2024-12-18 00:59:03 +0000 UTC
Kate Terrado is my favorite professor ever! It's not an easy A, but I always learn the most from her classes and look back on my work with a sense of accomplishment. The assignments in this course were great, and she always made herself available whenever I had any questions.ARTG5150 2020-11-12 17:19:10 +0000 UTC
Kate is the best!!! Really down to earth, funny, nice and genuinely seems to care about her students learning design and all that goes with it. Take advantage of the opportunities to talk with her about your school and career path. Grading is based on projects and attendance.ARTG1250 2018-12-10 16:11:46 +0000 UTC
The lectures are mandatory but nothing important is discussed. Very redundant. She's sweet though. I tuned out very hard but easy A because everything could be learned from the readings & discussion posts.ARTG1270 2024-04-23 22:46:08 +0000 UTC
She does not make herself available outside of the lecture ( if there was a lecture!!), and she assigns too much work without any clear guideline!!! it is awful!!! she has unreasonable expectations of the students! she is not recommended at allARTG5150 2020-07-27 18:14:23 +0000 UTC
