Kim was very clear with what she wanted us to do. The work was pretty standard. Nothing was overly difficult. But, you may have to step out of your comfort zone when recording footage for projects.

Loved Kim! She has such a unique personality and often made me laugh with her anecdotes or stuff she shares in class. She is great at giving feedback and cares so much about each individual student and their learning. You have a few projects, one with a partner, and learn to navigate premiere effectively. Overall, a really great choice!

I love Kim! She taught me so much about art and aesthetics. It's been a while since I had her as a prof but I still remember (and use) the knowledge she shared.

The worst teacher I had at GVSU. Switching to a different prof when I had her the 2nd time was one of the best decisions I made. Her check plus homework grading system is awful.

I liked Kim, but the class itself was pretty boring. Her lectures are read right off the powerpoint and she's very slow and monotonous. Doesn't give you a lot of time for your film projects and she's a tough grader, but overall I really liked having her as a professor.

You will learn a lot, but you have to work hard. After the first project, grading becomes more harsh if you're not particularly good at this stuff. She gives a lot of quizes and the class itself is a lot of outside work. She is very kind, and is always willing to give pointers. It is a very fun class, especially if you're serious about production.

Professor Roberts is such a sweet professor. She really cares about her students and actually wants to help improve their work. At the beginning of the semester the class has to create a Fiction assignment with a partner; needless to say they all sucked. The improvement by the end of the class was all thanks to Kim's helpful feedback. Shes great

Comment:

Being a film major is pretty worthless. Kim's nice, she's very creative, but courses are not very well-oriented towards skills that will make you a true multimedia professional. We waste too much time talking about topics not at all related to making high-quality images. My course didn't even cover sound!

Best prof I have had for any film class. She will help with anything, let you be as creative as you want and make your films as dark as you want. She will not limit you on what you can do in your film. I had someone drink a beer, smoke a bowl, and kill someone in my film, and since it's all based on visual/audio quality got an A.I RECOMEND HER 100%

Kim is wonderful. She is very knowledgeable about her craft, and it shows. She's also a student advisor for the film program and her advice is top notch. Do yourself a favor and make sure you take her whenever you can, because it'll make your stay at GVSU that much better!

Kim is the perfect prof. for this class - her art background really helps you understand the abstract concepts taught in this course. She lets you be as creative as you can and the exercises and projects are fun. She is also very nice and grades fairly. Definitely recommended!

I love professor Roberts. She is a great person and is very approachable/helpful. Her classes are pretty easy, but she doesn't just give out A's on video projects so don't expect it. Highly, highly recommend her.

Image and Sound is a good class, but it's the best with Roberts. She's open minded, helpful, and the book is a keeper. Don't pay attention to any of the old negative reviews-if you can take any class with her, DO IT!

Comment:

She can be fun and frustrating. She LOVES the idea of the workbooks, but for the majority of students they are useless and busy work. But she has a heart of gold, is always willing to help, and will often let you turn in an assignment a little late if you have a valid excuse. I'd take her again, but she's not my favorite professor, either.

I've had Kim for two classes now and she is great. Such a fun personality and teaching style. She loves her students and wants you to try anything and everything having to do with film/art/imaging/sound! Easy grader and fun class that you will actually like going to!

This was the most ridiculously fun film class I've had at GVSU. You experiment and then do two projects, one about a theme the other just trying to break the narrative form. Plus you get to go to Chicago if you want with this class. Nothing is to strange or weird...go for it!

I love her! She let's you be as creative as you want to be which makes you actually WANT to learn and explore. She applauds almost anything you do creative-wise. She's very open. No tests or quizzes. Just little projects here and there and textbook readings.
