Comment:

Urbine knows her stuff and you can tell she really loves teaching photography, but you need to have thick skin with her. If she doesn't like something about your photo or project, she'll tear you apart on it. Don't miss her class more than she will excuse you for. You drop a letter grade each time after. Worth taking if you want to learn photoshop.

Comment:

Dr. Urbine can be moody. Some days, she's really helpful and encouraging about your photographs. Then the next day, she hates everything you do. Just go to class, pay attention and trust your gut when submitting photos. Take advantage of open lab hours, she notices.

Comment:

Prof Urbine is a really nice person but the way she grades was kind of difficult. I was in the B&W class and she would say she really liked a photo I took, but would take points off. I never understood that much. It is evident she is passionate about photography, I just wish she would take more time explaining it to us as students.

Comment:

One of my favs at Cal. Some complained she was ****y but I didn't really see it. I thought she was cool, she is very passionate about what she teaches and it shows. I took most of the classes she teaches and did well in all of them. You will actually learn a lot and enjoy it in the process.

Comment:

She's okay. She can be really insulting one moment, but really helpful the next. I'm not quite sure what goes on in her head. She's very technical, though-- if assignments are slightly imperfect, you'll receive a slightly lower grade. I've had much worse though.

Comment:

She definitely knows her stuff, loves her job and loves what she does.Grading on exams are fine.Grading on photography sucks though. One minute it's good and then the next, she hates it. Almost seems like nothing is ever good enough, but she's still cool.

She is sweet! I always learn a lot in her classes. She really cares about her students and will go above and beyond to help them. Plus she is a super Mom and has adorable babies who love her much.

Comment:

Professor is very difficult to understand! You can show her some of your work in class, and she'll comment on how good it is and praise you for it. Yet, when you turn in the assignment, she gives you a low grade.
