Comment:
Very intelligent and pays specific attention to detail about the execution as well as the process throughout each project. Sometimes it is hard to understand exactly what is needed, but James can clarify things with ease, as information design can be incredibly tedious at times.

Comment:
he was extremely helpful in his suggestions. a class with a real critique. he wants raw ideas; no decoration. he doesn't give suggestions because the assignment is about your own idea! he gives hints. intelligent and powerful, but a tiny bit condescending.

Very, very vague and abstract, I never knew what he wanted. Great at pointing out problems, but not so good at offering solutions. Also, he's an extremely stingy grader, regardless of talent.

Comment:
Another elitist jerk of a teacher, gives no critisicm beyond "this doesnt work" he doesnt understand the concept of constructive critisicm he only focuses on the negative - I learned NOTHING from you, As for pushing people to there potential, he can barely push himself to get to class on time!

Very helpful. Pushed me to my full potential. Quiet, class discussions could be more dynamic. You can actually see his work in some Pratt Publications, and it is very good-no need to ask him to bring it in.He probably thinks your an idiot for asking.

Incapable of giving a straight answer. Too insecure to share what he knows. Very strange guy. Ask him to bring in his work and see what he says...

Comment:
Very vague. Not helpful. Biased towards some and brutal towards others. Says he's conceptual, but seems more technical. He encouraged us to please ourselves and not him and when some of us took his advice tore us to bits. Hard to know what he wants.
