Comment:
Nao was totally awesome. I think art is a hard subject that is very controversial, so if you're a sheltered freak, living under a rock with super conservative parents, she will blow your mind. cognitive dissonance from real learning makes you wanna hate her but she's the most caring person ever. she cared about me. bigtime

Facebook-based class interaction, movies in class, and encourages free and creative thinking... A breath of fresh air for this engineering school environment.

Comment:
It appears as if many of the RPI students who gave Nao ridiculously harsh criticism are afraid of themselves and being free thinkers. Nao excels at getting students to think outside the norm and she challenges us to look at ourselves in new ways. She is wonderful!

Comment:
Nao is the coolest. If you can take a class with her, do it! She has done a lot of really interesting work, and is very helpful if you have any questions. Just look up "Nanookie of the North" on YouTube. It explains Nao to a "T".

Comment:
She is a little weak in the music arena but strong in film performance and fine art, but as a capstone teacher she is varied enough. as long as shes not restricting media thats not "creative enough" or is too "corporate" for her tastes, i think shes all around totally cool.

Comment:
She studied at the San Francisco Art institute, I think she critique's bad work harshly, but usually the work presented is clearly mediocre, and therefore deserves the critism. RPI students are just living in a bubble and she tends to pop it with clear explanations of what the real world is like.

Comment:
nao is smart and knows how to be an artist and teaches that expertly. she's creative, her work is great, and the work she shows is great as well. she's sometimes disorganized but you can learn a lot by examining how she's fashioned her own arts career.

Comment:
The worst part of this is that she's incredibly stupid. She's teaching a class that she has no knowledge of, regardless of the fact that she's spent (and wasted) her life in the same field. She knows nothing. By far the worst class I've taken, ever.

Comment:
Absolutely, without a doubt, the worst professor I've ever had, period. A trained monkey could do her job. She offers no incentive to get involved with the class. Why she gets paid, I have no idea. The class is easy as hell, but it's intolerable.

Absolutely horrid, she doesn't teach she just shows movies and wants you to agree with her not that it matters. If you can get Igor Vamos to teach, he guest taught once and I learned more in a day than all year in her class.

Joke of a class. A waste of 4 credits. Take it if it's required, but try something more intense if you're allowed to skip it.
