Comment:
Her teaching methods must have changed during her years of not teaching because she is totally different from how she is previously mentioned. She makes assumptions on the "kind of student you are" and grades accordingly. I would not take her class again even if the school was paying ME to be there.

Wow is she awesome, and cute...and German, accent? why yes! I also learned a lot. We also went to some awesome lectures, wine makes type so cool. But, for realz, she is a great professor and I learned mad type skillz. P.S. I have mad art skills, believe my words... like neon.

Tough but fair, I resented her at first but I really learned a ton from her. She forced me to think outside the box and break out of some tired trends I was working in. She's one of those people you either love or hate, if you're open minded and willing to work, you'll learn a ton.

Pirco is truly a knowledgeble person in her field. She definitely gave helpful critiques and good instruction on how to fix things rather than pointing out the negative and no solution. Overall an enjoyable professor and genuinely sweet.

Comment:
Ok 2 things, I say HOT because she simply "has potential" to be. Secondly, at first, you think this lady has issues, she's self centered, cans other typographers. But she has points with every statement she makes, and you just accept it. Love type, and be one with it, and it's a brezze. Patience!

Pirco knows a lot about type and she has a very philsophical approach. Very interesting class - however she has definate biases that are very apparent. She will not except cruddy work and will make you redo it to her liking.

Comment:
She's never taught a type 1 class before and it shows. The crits are VERY long, but she'll give good advice on what to do after curtly pointing out whats wrong in a piece. She knows a TON of type history, but goes on and on at times!

Comment:
Unlike other teachers, she actually taught me how to THINK and didn't give me quick solutions and shallow design advice. As a result, my projects ended up being smart and thoughtful. Is confusing at first, but you need to listen to what she's saying.

Pirco is very helpful if you know what you're doing. She guides without influencing and respects a lot who you are and what are you into. I love her! be prepared to answer on 1st class who your favorite designer/typographer is and show a lot of hard work!

LONG BORING CRITIQUES, LITTLE HELPFUL ADVICE, NEGATIVE CONNOTATIONS, PLAYS FAVORITES WITH GUYS, KNOWS HISTORY OF TYPE BUT IS OBNOXIOUS ABOUT IT. ITS ALL ABOUT THE EMOTION AND THE WAY YOU VERBALIZE YOUR CONCEPT. I REGRET STAYING IN THIS CLASS AS LONG AS I

Avoid for senior project, crits are long, boring, and extremely unhelpful. Seems to talk forever without offering one word of useful advice. Likes to namedrop designers and then bash them accordingly sometimes, which I find a little weird

wolfy is kind of lenent, but you have more freedom, than other type classes. crits are extremely boring, and drag usually. she knows her history, and and can offers some cool information. but work wise it's pretty much up to you, your're your own boss
