Comment:
Laid back and great to talk to if you're genuinely interested in the course and show effort. Get as much experience as you can during crew calls so you're not struggling to get hours towards the end of semester. Other than a quiz and essay, you're graded on what you do in lab. Pay attention, not to your phone, be on time, and it's an easy pass.

Comment:
John is very nice, but his lectures are very boring! Attendance in the class and lab are mandatory. Do leave a good impression in the lectures, and labs. And be on time for all your crew calls, and make sure you are being helpful, as the people who are supervising you, send comments to the prof. Review exam is based on labs.

Comment:
Nice guy, treats students well. However, if you want a stimulating class or an easy grade, this is not where to look for it. There is no homework but because of that he marks on your behaviour, and although I was fairly interested and paid close attention, I got a B-. This course is not to be taken seriously, but it was an interesting experience.

This class was way too performance heavy for a multidiscipline class. Isn't too concerned with helping the visual art students.
