Comment:

Roger is incredibly knowledgeable in the history of graphic design and his class really helped me have a better understanding of the topic. He only assigned three long page papers that you get to choose what to talk about. Just ask questions during class and it is a class worth taking with him.

Comment:

Extremely knowledgeable on the subject of design. Very interested in engaging the class in the subjects presented. No tests, just three five-page essays and that's it. He actually is a very nice guy, just very "matter-of-fact" which is easy to get over. I would recommend.

Comment:

This is one of the best professors I have had a RIT. He knows so much about design and knows so many big designers, he is really interesting. He may come off as really serious, but I think that is just because he wants he students to leave his class with some quality knowledge. He really cares about your work. He also exposes you to great work.

Want everything you do to look like lella and massimo vignelli?? This is the place for you. Anything but european post-modern design crap will not be accepted. We're in America not the german bauhaus.

Comment:

He is very dry, dull, and boring. He sits and orders assistant to deliver papers and handouts. Do I feel like he has the spark to teach or make things fun? No. Time to retire? Yes! One thing I HATE is that he makes us to buy his book for the course and we wasted good $50 on the book. We only read average 3 chapter for one quarter. Waste of money!

It seems like Roger has mixed reviews. Yes he is soft spoken and can seem boring at times, but he is right to the point and doesnt waste time with busy work. listen to his critique and learn from it. easy going, easy A. highly recommended.

Comment:

Sent me an early academic advising with a D- because I "have a bad attitude in class" only because I don't comment during critiques or get his opinion on everything I do. Egotistical, boring, droning. If you're on his bad side he'll give you a lousy grade even if your work is good.

Comment:

Roger is very laid-back.. his classes are not that bad.. they have been really short since I took his class.. he's an easy going guy, but focuses a lot on graphic design. Many would find him boring but if you just show up to class, listen to his criticism, and just put up with maybe a half hour lecture once a week-- it's pretty much an easy A.

Comment:

He takes a while to warm up to, but once you realize that he cares a lot about the craft and is actually trying to teach you something, he's much easier to understand. Don't expect to do post-modern work in his class; he'll expect you to go back and re-do it. Remington loves modern design. Chances are if you really love design, You'll love Roger.

Extremely narrow minded, should teach history instead of design, plays favorites and grades based on bias rather than work presented, boring and a waste of time

Comment:

He's very unforgiving of non-design oriented students. I'm in photo and took this as an elective just because I was interested and he was really unwilling to work with me or the other students it didn't come naturally to. He'd send me back to change desi
