Comment:

Debbie is easily one of my favorite professors. I was nervous to take this class, and it is definitely challenging, but she is so accommodating. She will tell you what you could have done better, and encourages you to work harder because she believes in you. Debbie is a fabulous lady and is actually really funny. Great class if you're interested!

Debbie Sigel is very helpful and fair when it comes to the final grade. I was not the most talented student but did put forth the effort. I passed with a good grade. I highly recommend if your serious about the art form.

Debbie is amazing! The class is not easy, and requires A TON of extra studio time. As long as you try your hardest, and she sees you putting out the effort, you will get a good grade. She absolutely loves students who are excited about learning. Debbie will go above and beyond to help her students. Definitely take her if you can!

Comment:

Debbie is one of the best professors at Millersville. She will go above and beyond to help you if you work hard. She demands a lot from students and pushes them to make great work. Forget taking this class if you just want an easy A. Her classes are about growing, pushing yourself, and spending a lot of time making.

Comment:

Very demanding and expects A LOT of outside class work. For every hour in class she wants you there 3 hours outside of class. Too many projects and not enough time to complete them. she favors certain people and only helps them. Grading was ridiculous on first project. she expects too much from her students who have no art experience.

She was one of my best teachers so far at MU. She pushed me to try my best and even though she graded hard, I learned a lot from her. Shes my adviser too so she always helps me out with picking the right classes as well.

I think she would make a better teacher for children. Most of the time we just sat around, and I didn't really learn anything. She gave us good grades, but I wouldn't take her again.

Debbie is amazing. Not only is she funny, she is sweet and encouraging. This class is a huge amount of work (esp. for non-art majors) be prepared to live in the studio if you want to succeed. Very rewarding.

Comment:

I got along great with Debbie personally, however I didn’t mesh well with her teaching style. In her class she expected a lot out of you, but didn’t give you much direction. She favored certain works that had similar stylistic characteristics, with higher grades.

I have never had a better, more helpful and instructive professor ever. She is amazing with her ideas of design, and she is willing to work you through any problem you come up with in class with projects. This is a great class, she teaches you so much!!

she will let you float along, if that is what you want. but she has immense knowledge and is ecstatic about helping her students challenge themselves. is like snapper cartoon only in beginner classes. also, cares about you outside of class, too.

Very cool lady, extraordinary easy to approach. She challenges you, yes, but to reach your best and your pinacle. She sees how much effort you put into the class and takes that into account. The vibes in her class are extremely comforting!
