Hands down one of the worst professors I've had. Totally unorganized. Unclear grading criteria. Tries to twist your work into her own. Would not recommend.

Patti is the reason I made it to graduation. Extremely kind and always available to help. She is the Photoshop guru and knows her stuff about post process editing. Love this woman.

Comment:

VERY disorganized! Wants questions but then acts like you're stupid if you ask anything. Expert in photoshop but can't teach. Emotionally unstable with big mood swings. VERY slow at giving any grades back or feedback on grades - like only once late within the semester! Heavy burden of homework and time needed! No office hours.

Comment:

Never shows visual examples. She tells you to work on something and when you are deep in though she gives very important instructions and gets mad. Also in the beginning the the year she tells us to ask questions or get left behind, but if you ask a question she treats you in like you are a horrible student. 0 respect for this teacher.

Comment:

I had Patti for Digital Output. I learned more with her than I had from all my photography teachers in 2 years. She is EXPERT at editing and post processing. Shes an amazing resource any photography or print student should take advantage of. Shes not difficult but you will have to ask her to clarify homework assignments. Take questions to her!!

Comment:

Incredibly unorganized, really slow at grading, unwilling to meet out of class. Patti knows her stuff but doesn't know how to lecture. Expects students to be post production gods in their first year. Doesn't follow syllabus AVOID IF POSSIBLE take a real photo teacher.

Comment:

I love Patti, she's such a nice person and she's so much fun to be in class with. You do have to do the work though. She does get a little mad if she feels nobody is actually doing work and she is slow when it comes to grading, but overall I really enjoyed the class.

SO. EASY. pretend to be interested/know what you're doing, and she'll totally fall for it. she's good at photoshop, but a total space cadet. big on group projects. usually projects/lectures have nothing to do with the class subject.

Comment:

The most unorganized person I have ever met. Has no idea what is going on w/ the class & in general Changed her mind about assignments at the last minute and nobody knew what they were handing in. I learned NOTHING. At the end she asked how the class went & when we told her how awful it was, she had a fit and then almost cried. Not mentally stable.

Comment:

I had a hard time working with her, it was hard to get her to help us out, and she tended to put the deaf student out of the way so that we would be less of a hassle so it seemed. She had a bit of an attitude whenever I talked with her about the assignment. Did Not like her class, avoid when possible.

Very helpful and interested in you learning the material. PHOTOSHOP QUEEN! Kind of unorganized, but if you ask her about something she'll run back to her office and get whatever she needs to answer your question.

Comment:

after she messed up my final grade, it took her nearly two months to have it changed after i nearly had to get on my knees and beg her to do it. all she had to do is fill out one single form. she seems like a nice person, but when it comes to a student's grades, i suggest that stay on top of it.

Comment:

She is a very busy person and due to that tends to be a little unorganized. However, she will do whatever it takes to help teach and guide a student. She really is there for the students. If you have an interest in Photoshop, rumor has it she is the best on the east coast. TAKE A CLASS WITH HER!
