Comment:
Very laid back, but is always willing to give a helping hand. Pay attention and ask questions and you'll do fine. He sometimes gets off track, but he eventually snaps back. Overall great beginners class for Graphic Design. Would not recommend for anyone who has no design skills.

Some major advice! Be prepared to learn intro to graphic design on your own time. Attendence will help big time so keep hookie record clear and don't leave early for your sake. he takes notice of that.If you are going to argue with him, don't you WILL not win so just get the work done and re-submit graded projects to get extra points.

He's really not as horrible as everyone says. If you communicate with him and ask him for help, he'll help you. He's there to help you and answer your questions, you can't expect him to read your mind if you're having problems.

Be very careful with this proffesor. You basically going to have to do some of your work on your own.. He does not listen and get off the subject of graphic design. Horrible. I'm teaching myself and i learn more.

Once you get to know him he is a nice guy but he is a pessimist and that makes his teaching suffer. Sometimes you have to push him to get what you want out of him.

Avoid like the plague. You will learn nothing. And if you have a problem with your machine, he'll just tell you to move to another machine - as if that will fix the problem. Nice guy, but can't teach to save his life. Avoid any class he teaches.

I liked him, he taught me a lot, but I think I learned the most when I pulled him aside from class.

Can we say suck? He's got nothing to offer to the table as far as teaching is concerned. He may be a nice guy, but you won't learn jack in his classes. All I can say is run away.
