Very knowledgeable. I'm not a big fan of modern media art but her lectures were all super interesting as an art student. I enjoyed the assignments too(you'll get to brainstorm a mind map for most of the time about the major topic that the course covers). She is such a caring and sweet professor! Highly recommended.ARTD1001 2026-10-25 01:22:51 +0000 UTC
The class concepts are very hard to understand and too abstract, and some of the curriculum seem opinionated rather than analytical. However the professor does seem very passionate and likes what she is teaching.ARTD1001 2026-04-07 04:16:22 +0000 UTC
Nothing to say. Don't try.ARTD1001 2025-12-15 21:47:17 +0000 UTC
The class are very abstract and hard to understand, and you are not allowed to use electronic devices to take notes.The in-class activity is very difficult, and there are 5 minute papers that appear out of nowhere. There are 3 concept maps which the scoring is very strict.I have to take it because it's my specialized class, so if I can run, I will!ARTD1001 2025-03-27 05:30:19 +0000 UTC
Almost every class has a surprise five-minute paper that counts toward your participation. There are different reading every week and lots of inclass activities. Also have to do three concept maps and really hard to get high grade. Attendance and participation are heavily emphasized. I dont recommend taking this course.ARTD1001 2025-03-27 04:39:57 +0000 UTC
Had her for Capstone and consistently got disrespectful feedback. She doesn't allow students to take notes on any tech during class. The course was poorly planned, roughly 80% of class time was spent on student presentations. You're not allowed to miss presentation days regardless of Wellness Days. If you do miss, it will impact your grade.ARTD1001 2025-03-12 01:25:22 +0000 UTC
She is very knowledgeable and you can tell she likes what she does. The class is very content heavy and often extremely difficult to understand. Attendance is mandatory and can move you down a letter grade so be careful. Midterms are concept maps which are okay, only take the class if you really like the content.ARTD1001 2025-01-07 22:04:19 +0000 UTC
