Comment:
The best design teacher at RPI. I am so sorry that he is retiring. I took all his classes and I actually get real experiences from the industry and learn a lot from him. He provides me a good sense of how to prepare my portfolio and apply to graduate school.

The higher level classes Paul teaches are definitely more helpful. He also puts a lot of his field experience into his teaching. Really fun personality when he opens up.

Comment:
Doesn't know his students at all, but that's not horrible. Doesn't know how to use a Mac.. but he's all into graphic design..? demonstrates the software ok, but is somewhat esoteric. Really helpful if you ask for help, though. He's fine, but I wouldn't have taken the class if I didn't have to. BUY THE BOOK: open book/note exams!

He does a good job teaching students how to use the Adobe Design suite and provides good feedback on projects. All around he is very cordial and will do his best to any student in need.

Paul is not a bad professor. His methods may be a little unusual, but they work. If I put more effort into this class I could have easily gotten an A.

He is not a good professor, unless you are forced to take this class dont, i thought i was going to get useful knowledge. He doesn't know how to teach and changes his mind constantly and will not clarify anything. DO NOT take this class unless EMAC and forced too.

Paul is a really nice guy. He's very approachable, and takes great interest in the progress of his students. Although a lot of time and money are required for his Intro to Viz Comm course, it will prepare you for the more rigorous projects to come. Just make sure you actually demonstrate your commitment to the class. Approach him, you know?

Miyamoto is a good guy. He is helpful IF you approach him with well-thought-out questions. Some bash him for being a bit "old school" but he runs a well-organized course and it goes at a nice pace, so you never feel rushed to churn out graphic design projects.

Comment:
He is an alright teacher however he requires almost $100 in supplys to be purchased for the class and changes his mind overnight about what is due for the next class. His late night emails are very confusing. He is helpful but if your work isnt hyper minimalist designs he will hate it.

He owns this class, but i believe he's getting sick of it. But you really don't have a choice if you're an EMAC.
