talks way too much and doesn't leave nearly enough time to work on projects in class. should spend time going over student work with students individually instead of in front of the whole class for two hours

Comment:
If you don't like a professor here ... Too bad, you have to take it or leave to a different school. No more choices. This professor probably knows a lot but does not know how to teach doesn't explain the assignments well, and expects you to know what's "right" we're here to learn not to guess. changing schools.

McGarvey is great. He wants you to get inspired and to really think about what you're designing as well as look to other resources, such as the library, to further your knowledge of other artists. You do sketch a lot thumbnails and the lectures/tutorials/critiques are a bit stale. However, you get out what you put in.

Comment:
He just talks.. On and on about nothing that has to do with anything.. I'm sure he knows what he's trying to say I just think he needs to explain it in a way that actually makes sense and doesn't have to do with this checker board he talks about all the time. He also doesn't explain projects very well.

He does not give you a clear idea of what he wants in an assignment. many thumbnails. and in Senior Project II he does not give you enough time to work on your portfolio, instead he wastes more time than necessary on the 4 panels you have to do.

Mike is great and unintentionally hysterical. I have had him for several design courses and he definitely knows his stuff. He does move pretty fast, but that's how the design world is.

Knows his stuff about the programs and what an employer will look for in you as an Illustrator. Agreed, not very personable but he's well rounded in both fine arts and digital arts. Exceptional class and well deserved for Illustrators-to-be.

Comment:
Not the most personable professor, but always willing to help IF YOU ASK...he isn't a mind reader. A lot of the work is intensive, be ready for the thumbnails. After GD I and II, I definitley learned alot from him and am happy to have had him for a teacher.
