Comment:

Run far and fast. By far the worst prof I've ever had for studio. Or maybe anything. She won't remember your project from week to week which leads to a great deal of backtracking and confusion and her ideas are generally either boring or hugely impractical. I've heard she's okay at teaching history classes though

Comment:

Honestly, this woman knows what she's talking about. She has a passion for architecture and obviously has had many years in the field. It isn't the easiest class but if you attend every lecture it won't be that bad at all. Don't be afraid to ask questions!

Comment:

this prof actually teaches, doesn't just aimlessly critique your work. She will give you skills that will help you express your ideas. She may be hard to understand at times, or may not make perfect sense. it's just cos she has too much to say, but if you read between the lines and interpret what she says you will be inspired!

I learned an incredible amount from this class. The professor was passionate and clear and well prepared. She tended to go over the time but at least it was interesting!

Comment:

Very unclear. Should stop being pretentious/walking thesaurus. If you actually write down what she's saying, it does not form a coherent sentence. Can trim down her "teachings" if she would actually prepare for class rather than improvising on the spot - losing clarity and any train of thought. Would avoid but unfortunately a required course.

This prof seriously rocks. She's sharp and clear and though she may not finish all her sentences, she cuts to essence of things and makes you think.

Comment:

Very unclear in establishng what her position is as she portends it to be. It is uncertain what she has to offer beyond what is stated in books specific to architectural design. Attempts to reiterate (often misquoted) what has already been stated more clearly and thoughtfully by others. Terrible in her ability to articulate in a focused ma

Would be a good prof if she would just get over her self-confidence issues. Very bright. Needs to chill out a bit. She could have alot to offer someday.

she might be intelligent, it's a pity that her lectures are very unclear. the sentences are never complete. always has a verb in front of... a noun.

Quite the space cadet, breaks your models, draws on your drawings, forgets your name, ignores you sometimes, very intelligent and helpful, very talented herself. Learned the most from her, both theory and design. Quite the character... mmkay? Ya

Thoughtful, ya very inteligent, can draw a rabit upside down with ease...sometimes the perspective is distorted but that is because of certain vibrations from the wind outside.

A beam of light that penitrates to the soul of architecture. If there is any ambiguity it is because the subject is difficult and lends itself to various interpretations. I have never had a better teacher.
