Comment:

Professor Danko is a very good speaker, and her presentations are always interesting, even though the material is sometimes repetitive. The assignments for the class, however, are very specific, time consuming, graded harshly, and can be difficult without photoshop or illustrator.

Comment:

This class is mainly pseudo-motivational fluff. Sheila is nice, and she tries to make the class as personal as possible, but she thought we all got a more concrete understanding of the material than we actually did. Quizzes were poorly designed; grading was arbitrary. Creative projects and guest lectures were great though.

Comment:

This class is about bs-ing as much as possible. THe assignments are vague & arbitrary. Sheila admitted to my face that she doesn't even factor in the extra credit (which takes HOURS) into your grade, so don't even bother doing it. This class is no more inspirational than a weight-loss pill commerical -cuz you know it's bull. (Unless you're naive..)

Comment:

sheila and her class quite possibly changed the course of my life. her lectures were beyond real and inspiring and her assignments, though not always graded to my liking, made me think in ways that are very applicable to life and getting ahead in the workforce. If you go to cornell and do not take this class, you are wasting your tuition.

Comment:

Almost everyone I know had a love/hate relationship with her and her class. She's very nice, especially during office hours, but the assignments are often unclear/poorly graded. During class I often felt like I was listening to a poor motivational speaker, but once in a while the class content was good.

Great teacher who clearly has a passion for what she is teaching. thougroughly unique curriculum and approach. she knows every student on a first name basis, which says a lot, for a 150 person class.

I believe she deserves way more than what people actually say. She's a very creative, unique professor that you can hardly find elsewhere. She keeps you open minded, and that's crucial for any professions. I loved this course.

Comment:

DEA initially wasn't my thing, but Danko made it easy to relate to for any major. She is really inspirational in the sense that she lives the things she teaches and encourages us to do the same. The twinkle in her eye as she speaks says it all.

Comment:

danko will teach you the 'five traits of leaders' and other made-up nonsense. if you want to read self-help and inspirational books as part of your text, and be graded on special 'enrichments', DEA 111 is for you. for a substantive and meaningful 'design' course, look elsewhere.

She's kind of weird but the class isn't so hard if you do what she wants you to do.
