Comment:
Her people skills and teaching abilities are extremely lacking. She never graded our assignments until the entire class said to. She gave VERY VAGUE crits and gave us random grades. She gave pointless lectures for the entire class & NO SYLLABUS. Unfortunately, my memory of class is so crowded with the condescending, insulting, unhelpful Priscilla.

Since it's foundations she was put into a class where she only had prior knowledge on half of the material at best. She's an awesome person and she is really good at what she does but her lack of clarity is infuriating. She will give you an idea you don't like but you'll try it then tell you it's a bad idea in crit.

Comment:
She's crazy, but hilarious. Her expectations for projects weren't clear until crit day, so the grades were bad. However, she allows unlimited project resubmissions for a new grade and her grades are generous the 2nd time around. She teaches with online tutorials, but will help if you ask for it. Give her a chance and you'll learn a lot from her!

Professor Smith made me look at the world in a new way. I did not always agree with her grading but she let us re-do projects for a new grade any time.:-)Take this class to open your eyes!

Comment:
Had her for a half a semester and she was a little good and a little bad. She has a weird way of grading and you'll probably not understand the assignment until the day of critiquing but you can always improve on it before you officially submit for grading (sometimes!). Her teaching ways are little out of it and she's usually unorganized for class.

Priscilla is a great teacher. Her techniques can be a little unconventional at times, but for those that like some wackiness and are willing to learn will thrive in her class. She moves quickly, but clearly knows her way around a camera. PS is not a prof for the lazy, she makes you work, but will reward you if you do. A great resource at UD!

Priscilla has a distinct, effective teaching style that might not always meld with new students. If you are someone that doesn't instantly click with P, though so many of us have, give her a chance, her wisdom will surprise you. One bit of advice, talk to her in and out of class. Her knowledge extends far beyond photography. ps. Go to New Zealand

P Smith is dedicated to her students. You must show motivation and effort to gain her respect. She will help you grow as an artist and if you tap into her knowledge she will open many doors for you. Get to know this woman. She is great.

She's really smart and you can learn a lot from her, but you have to be self-disciplined. She will expect a lot and can be unclear and kind of schizo about assignments and deadlines.
