Class was super easy, no tests or big projects. You do daily assignments every day, and keep them to put into your visual thinking journal. Theres also 4 books reports but super easy. You also do a Wreak this Journal which was okay. The professor is super nice tho and laid back, easy class to take

You literally couldn't take an easier class. I felt like a preschooler and I'm someone who likes to be challenged. Every now and then she'd throw in a ridiculous assignment (like drive 10 hours for a field trip or else do this other hard assignment). I like her as a person and maybe her other classes are better since this was a guinea pig class.

I really liked the professor's knowledge on the topic of graphic design. She really knows her stuff and had some interesting stories. My only CON is that she never posted a single grade this semester. We did a few projects but we never knew what we made on them. Other than that, the professor is pretty cool and laid back.

Tough lady, but makes class fun. Knows her stuff about photography and incorporates design into the assignments. I got my best portfolio pieces from this class. Would take again, but be prepared to push your creativity!

This class is SUPER EASY!!! And fun. All you do is a bunch of fun and stupid easy exercises and sometimes games. The final is a binder of all the exercises and then turning in your destroyed text book Wreck This Journal in a zip lock bag. It made me feel like i was back in elementary school.

Comment:
Professor Vickrey honestly does a disservice to her students. Though she misses class an extreme amount, students must keep their absences in check. She gives limited feedback and rarely post grades for projects. She doesn't teach the appropriate skill set for designers. Her disrespect for her student’s education is apparent.

She is not a designer. She has limited knowledge on what she teaches. She is always late for class (or not there) but takes attendance any way. Avoid her classes if possible.

If you're looking to pass a class w/ little effort, take Kim. She knows her stuff, but you aren't really getting any artwork for your portfolio out of her class. Just bookwork. If you want to build up an impressive portfolio while in college, take one of the new instructors. They teach the software while letting you come up with your own concepts.

Kim is a passionate instructor. She is knowledgeable, helpful but very scary. If you just follow what she wants, and impress her then you should be fine, but if you are just there to pass a course then a C or B you will get. Take Kim if you are passionate about Graphic Design.

Told me to my face and in front of the class that my philosophy on are was, direct quote "horseshit." She plays favorites and her favorites have nothing to do with skill, interest, or knowledge with the material. A terrible teacher.

Wonderful Teacher. You will spend a lot of time using the classroom in a book to learn both illustrator and photoshop in graphic design 1. She grades a lot on effort so put 100% into everything and always remember to start with sketches.

You people don't know what you're talking about. Kim is a graphic designer, not just a teacher, but an actual graphic designer. She'll always push you to do what she knows you can do, and she'll never tell you your project is bad, which is good. Not to mention that she isn't the only GD teacher...and shes far from being the worst. I love her...

She was often late for class(students could not get in till she showed up)even though she is an attendance Nazi. Defenitly plays favorites, if she doesn't expect much of someone (due to them doing poorly on 1 assignment, not being an art major, etc.), her view doesn't really change. Expect getting a B in her classes, even if you are an A freak.

Didn't actually teach the class. She just gave us two Classroom in a Book books and told us to go through them. I don't think she actually knows the programs that well, because we usually show her some things. Plus side, she misses class a lot.

Doesn't seem to grade on knowledge, or understanding. Seems to grade on personal preference. Expect to see favoritism. Grades on a curve which is usually welcome, but her curve is harsh, and I think it hurts students rather than helps them.
