Comment:
Linda treats her class as a coffee break. Her "lectures" are very disorganized, and she often drifts off on tangents about personal stories, mostly about her ex husbands. She loves talking about herself and will rarely give constructive feedback unless you 1)are a favorite, 2) follow her around endlessly just to get a "that's alright".

Her lectures are very unorganized but interesting. She is not a harsh grader if you turn in all the projects you can't fail.

Comment:
I found this class close to worthless. The instructions were unclear at times, but the thing that ruined this class was the utter lack of feedback or grades. You never knew how you were doing or if you needed to re-do something. Was it good? Was it bad? Need improvement? NOTHING!

Comment:
She is disorganized, but she is very into art. She wants you to leave the class being a better artist, so don't take her to get some units in. It is best to actually like drawing with pencil and charcoal for this class. I do really enjoy her class, her lectures can be a little long. HW: draw for an hour each week, TEST: NONE, FINAL: Field trip :)

I adored this class. The online lectures were illuminating. The assignments, fascinating. From morning until dinner I was totally absorbed. I had enrolled in this class a couple of weeks after my Mother died, then crashed.. Linda reached out to me. She is a wonderful, hard-working, generous teacher and person.

Comment:
A non-major in Art, I took an introductory color course. With Linda's encouragement a long dormant love of Art was resurrected, a means to deal constructively deal with feelings that I could handle in no other way. I credit Linda's kindness, flexibility and caring with giving me the encouragement and confidence to do so.

Comment:
The worst teacher I have ever had. Assignments were completely unclear. She takes forever to give feedback and is full of excuses. I met with her in person because I was so confused and he talked about her personal life for 3 hours. Horrible!!! Still got an A, but avoid her if you can.

Comment:
If you want to learn your color schemes, take this class. At first the course work will seem juvenile, but you will learn about color schemes, the color wheel and color nuance. Ms. Lum knows her material. Class critiques were very helpful and we had these almost weekly. I hope she continues to emphasize the group crit. Not familiar with her online.

Horrible teacher. Goes on and on with anecdotes that have no relevance to the class. Instructions were not clear, critique was useless

Probably a good teacher in a traditional classroom, but almost useless in online classes. Not really present, doesn't give grades, doesn't give critiques, totally disorganized.

She's a nice person but she was disorganized and confusing towards the end of the quarter. Her poor communication skills leave the class confused about due dates and grades. Very subjective...

Comment:
I agree with the last comment. The biggest issue is her poor communication skills, which makes it difficult to follow instructions. Also, she relies to heavily on her T.A. virginia, who is by far too-o-o anxious to help-and NOT in a good way. Both are creativity crushers.

I did everything she asked and got a B-...I was an art major and know what I'm doing. she is unclear and only pics favorites. She talks about her personal life in class and is no clear on instruction at all. I even re submitted work that I re did "her way"(ruining the piece) and it still wasn't good enough. Horrible...

Comment:
She is really nice and can be chatty if she likes you, but doesn't give a lot of instruction and I don't feel my drawing improved. Sometimes it seemed like she was out of it, and not really paying too much attention, and then she sort of panicked at the end when she realized our class wasn't where it should be.

Comment:
Good teacher, I have seen some improvment w/ my drawings but they could be better. She dsnt give a lot of instruction, just lets you do w/e you want. bring an ipod w/ u to class tho b/c her taste in music is horrendous. maybe she doesnt like silence because when one cd is done, she starts another. I'm disappointd that my drawings arent better tho.

Comment:
Most of the comments here that are negative are ridiculous.She spent ALOT of time with everyone, though if you are making a larger effort she will reward you in kind.Her personal stories largely are about process and art technique, so I don't know why you wouldn't wanna hear that.She taught me a great deal, but then I show up and work.

Comment:
learned a lot. taught like a hybrid no text but modules are well written. its true shes a little off the wall and chatty. Extra credit easy grader and you can re submit work and is not as critical as other art teachers. made an effort to relate it to my interests.i enjoyed it and am looking forward to taking others with her.
