Comment:
WAW! just finished a great term, and my best courses were in Integrated media. I did my best projects, and the work was accepted in the Student Annual show at the University Gallery. I loved Pat's courses, she's easy to work with and really helpful technically and with ideas.

Comment:
Art 359 Seminar: I feel like I now have a broader understanding of new media art from the past and from the present. I think this was made possible by having us research the most important new media works made today, and allow us to do the presentations. Pat's lectures at the beginning of each topic, and her comments were extremely knowledgeable.

Integrated Media is great, and Pat is great! Her course made me look into a new field of study that I was not aware of. I'll be taking more of her courses, I really learnt a lot in Art 284.

Comment:
In integrated Media,we were supposed to be taught Flash, but instead we were limited to Photoshop because she didnt get Flash installed in the lab. The only new skills we learned were from other students, not from Pat. ALL of the work COULD be done outside of class, but Pat keeps attendance. This class was a waste of my time and money.

Pat is a constant source of inspiration not only in my art world but also in my life in general. I had the pleasure of contributing in some of her pictures on her 'Tower-Tour Snake Project' installation albeit only the boat rower...shall never forget the experience!

Pat went above and beyond the call of duty. She brought a lot of interesting insight to the class and continually challenged her students. She created a community amongst her students who often collaborated on projects. The class pushed my expectations of myself and my work. I really enjoyed it.

This was one of the most inspirational classes I have ever taken. The quality of work produced by the students was consistently high. Pat is a knowledgeable, passionate teacher who is always willing to give up her personal time in the interest of her students. Probably one of the best classes I have ever taken.

I was Pat's Grad. Assistant in her IM1 class, and working with her was a great learning experience in teaching. Her course content was so well organized that it was easy for students to follow - she also gave great feedback during Crits. I would definitely recommend her course.

As a graduate student who worked with Pat closely I would rank as one of the best teachers I've ever had. She also donated her free time to aid in my professional development. If you are serious about a career in art take one of her classes.

Pat is passionate about teaching. Her class makes the hottest work in the whole school, several of us won prizes at the Student Show. She knows a lot about everything, she's been all over the world and has great stories to tell.

Comment:
I'd have to agree regarding her teaching style. She seems all over the map without any goal for the class. I found that she would talk down to me and other students who weren't artistically inclined

Maybe a good artist, but a horrible teacher! It should be illegal for her to talk to students.
