Comment:

He lectures so much to show you how to do the assignment in the beginning of class that you don't really have much time to finish the assignments that are due everyday at the end of class. You can tell he has experience with the programs but he doesn't teach the course with ease of understanding. Acts very nervous when teaching..

Comment:

There's an assignment everyday, but you're given class time to complete it, a detailed (sometimes TOO detailed/lengthy) tutorial, & he'll tell you your grade during class and what you need to do to get an A on it. He's very sweet and always wants to help, respect is mutual and demanded. I felt like I learned a large array of topics. Great class!

Good Teacher! Really nice! Always willing to help students and very easy with grading. Students are asked to complete 2 sketchbooks; draw in one and print pics out for the other. It's not a lot of work, but it can be time consuming based on how seriously you take the class. Attendance is mandatory to pass. EASY tests!! Take him!

Comment:

not a great professor, taking his class made me realize I didn't want to major in art anymore. he made us do RIDICULOUS amounts of defining art words and doing stupid stuff on the computer..i thought it was supposed to be an ART class not photoshop. but it's pretty easy

Comment:

This guy sucked.. he knows about photoshop.. but he is a sad excuse of a design teacher.. he teaches you how to make lightning bolts.. but nothing that you can use.. his opinions are not vaild.. and his actual designs are even worse... he makes me glad to be a UNF graphic design student paying 300 bucks to take his class.. um.. NOT.. such a waste

Comment:

This guy sucked. Bad. The longer I have been out of his class, the more I realized how much he sucked. Horrible designs. By far worse than any of the students, and the worst part was he thought they were good. And he was supposed to be teaching us??? In my photoshop class, I don't think I learned anything. Well, he did show us how to make lightning, which in 10+ years of doing this I have never used. I thought he was a joke, and it's sad to see he is still teaching.

He definitely favors the pretty ladies! His designs are rather sub-par but he thinks he's the greatest. Talk to him a lot and ask him his opinion and he'll give you good grades. Flirt with him and get even better grades. Just kidding.

Comment:

Wow, this teacher is the worst I've ever had. Even worse than Charles Charles. This was a Typography class, but we barely even brushed upon the subject of type. I saw him give high accolades to work full of rivers, valleys, and orphans. He's stubborn, arrogant, out-dated, and most of the time flat-out wrong. Check out his web design corkind.com

Comment:

Can be a harsh critic, but probably not as bad as the first client who doesn't like your work. Very helpful IF you ask. Won't waste his time on students who are lazy. Fair grader, but it's evident that he has favorite students (not always the best designers). Can be a cool guy. Don't argue with him.

Comment:

Knows a lot about photoshop. Does not have thumbnails or roughs but does ask to see work before critique. Sometimes he doesn't say what you should have done to make a better portfolio piece before a harsh critique.

He's such a dork! If you talk to him a lot and ask him for his help you will get good grades. He plays favorites. I love that he doesnt have us turn in thumbnails or roughs. and for the love of God, DONT FALL ASLEEP IN CLASS! :-o

Harsh critiques. Bad Design qualities, but has plenty of great tips for Photoshop and Illustrator. Never take him for Portfolio.

Is a hard professor but he pushes the students to do their best not to do mediocre crap. If you are lazy and just want to get by, you won't like him. If you want some good portfolio pieces, you will like him.

Comment:

Critiques can be very harsh. Helps those who help themselves. If you can get an "A" out of him, you know you earned it. Has no patience with students who don't want to put forth the effort. Not for the faint of heart. But, he'll make you a bette
