Super nice and always happy. Assignments are sort of wishy-washy with her. Sometimes she wouldnt specifically say what she wants done or how to do it. As a result, our class would come in with half finished projects and confusion. Assignments are very time consuming, but that comes with any design class. I enjoyed the final project the most.

Comment:
Both me and my roommates were taking the same class with different professors. My roommate was always assigned the same project as us but weeks later. It was as if we were the guinea pigs for each project. Also, each class Sarah assigned a new project with confusing instruction. Each class she also assigned hours of unnecessary busy work.

Comment:
I really enjoyed the class itself, but I credit that to my classmates. She isnt sure what she wants when she assigns the project. We will put things up for critique and she will see one she likes and base everyone elses on that one. I redid nearly every project. Overall, she really doesnt care if you are late or if your stuff sucks. Hard class.

I loved Sarah and would take her class again. There is a lot of work- but it is a design foundation what do you expect? I felt like I had a lot of creative freedom but a solid direction to go in. Sarah is very genuine and wants you to be proud of your work. Also we had a lot of amazing conversations about things beyond class- she actually cares.

I had Sarah throughout my freshman year. Yes she gives a lot of work, but what do you really expect? She teaches the core design classes, you're going to have to put in a lot of work in a design field so you might as well get used to it. If she wasn't tough you wouldn't get anything out of it. She taught me a lot!

I had her for three quarters straight, she didn't like me the first quarter, didn't believe in me the second, and the third she loved me, why? Because I proved to her that I was a good designer, you will improve if you take her class, but be prepared to work work work! And don't be afraid to make revisionsscrap your idea if its not working.

Hard teacher, wasn't very helpful. Expected too much and didn't really explain what she wanted just criticized your work. I would not recommend this teacher.

Comment:
If you have choice to take other professor's class, DO NOT TAKE HERS. Although she is helpful, but her require for art work is extremely difficult and she would not show any kindness to your grade. Also, I feel like all the project she give us is soooo boring! Take care, be away from her.

I loved Sarah! She is extremely difficult but is always willing to help you improve as long as you are willing to make the effort. I stayed up all hours of the night finishing up her work but it definitely paid off!

I took VSST 102 and 103 with her, and I loved Sarah. She's EXTREMELY helpful, but her class is super hard and very time-consuming. She wants to challenge her students as much as possible, which is what we go to school for, right? Highly recommended for people who aren't slackers--otherwise you might not end up with an amazing grade.

Enthusiastic, sometimes intense about coursework but she knows what she's talking about. Awesome constructive criticism. Really wants the best for her students. Be prepared for 10-12 hours of homework each weekend, but she always allows revisions for a higher grade. Will answer questions one-on-one and correspond through email; very helpful.

She's has her moments when shes really nice and you really like her but she goes crazy sometimes. she once yelled at me for having to leave an hour early. She has very little compassion and can be downright rude and unprofessional sometimes. She can also be increibly confusing and not very clear with feedback.

I have gone to another design school and taken classes there for extra credit after having Professor Steinwahcs. Because of what I learned from this teacher, I was so far beyond other students and my work has gotten so much better also. She is not an easy teacher at all, but so worth it.

SUPER heavy workload, not tolerant, mean and chooses favorites, does not give helpful feedback in the critiques, assignments are confusing, and when too little info is given, she gets annoyed when you ask for help. would NOT recommend.
