Sam gives great feedback, and he can be responsive to questions but also is always trying to push your work. He definitely expects a high standard of work, all the time. Sam's generally pretty nice and casual. Very relaxed. I think he tries to create a good environment in studio, but he also really reacts negatively to students who are late ...ARCH3450 2017-05-16 20:59:41 +0000 UTC
Sam was pretty helpful. Not nearly as harsh as the older students said. He does tend to get off topic.ARCH2140 2016-05-27 21:36:40 +0000 UTC
The way he gives feedback is really different from other crits. He likes to poke and quiz your projects moves alot. Crits can get kind of tense sometimes. If he thinks your committed to your ideas, then its all good and he can be pretty helpful. If not, it can get tough for sure.ARCH2130 2015-11-18 08:42:29 +0000 UTC
I had Sam for a couple of classes. Sharp and challenging at every crit. Tough, but its worth it. Also helpful later on with anything related to design, portfolios, school in general. Highly recommend.ARCH 2013-12-03 08:00:35 +0000 UTC
very tough and demanding. he pushed me and i learned alot, he def knows the material. sometimes hes hard to understand and not always nice. like the others said, grading is fair but really high expectations.ARC2140 2011-03-31 19:15:17 +0000 UTC
Sam is funny, very nice and overall helpful. As architecture students know, studio is absurdly hard...studio 1 is even more so. As far as grading goes, Sam grades as other studio teachers do. Get Sam if you can!ARC310 2008-12-19 18:37:57 +0000 UTC
Great summer classARCH3450 2015-10-07 07:20:58 +0000 UTC
If he suggests something, it is definitely not open for debate. It's his way or the highway.ARCH2130 2015-11-08 14:20:58 +0000 UTC
Good feedback. Works with my ideas and doesn't try to push a style. Knows a lot.ARCH2130 2015-09-24 19:29:46 +0000 UTC
