Cynthia is very excellent in teaching graphic design, and it's clear that she wants us all to succeed. I've also seen her yell at students, though, and it's definitely very scary, so be aware to not get on her bad side.

If you don't have the textbooks you won't pass!! Every quiz is super easy as long as you do the study guides that she gives you that go along with the books. Cynthia is very knowledgable in her lectures, but definitely a bit intimidating. Make sure to set a lot of time aside for the bigger projects.

Comment:
Professor Clabough is inspirational in her lectures. She is pretty strict and expects a LOT but the work load really isn't as heavy as everyone says. The textbook is NECESSARY to pass the quizzes. Read it. You also have to present on a designer, I would advise picking one with a lot of information to research.

Comment:
There's no chance to breathe between assignments. There's one assignment that's basically semester-long, but I couldn't work on it till the last minute because I was too busy with all the other assignments that came before it. Also Cynthia is very intimidating and very difficult to contact outside of class. An extremely stressful class.

She's an amazing professor, but there is an extreme work load for this class. The textbook is mandatory, you need it for the 8 quizzes and final.. otherwise you won't pass. The two projects will take up a lot of your time so plan wisely. She's a very hard grader but getting good grades in her class is very rewarding.

Comment:
DO NOT BRUSH OFF THIS COURSE. Give yourself plenty of time to do the 2 projects. And do every study guide for the quizzes because they are the answer key for the quizzes. Very hard grader, but overall it's a very educational course. Do not take it if you are not a graphic design major- i think it would be way to hard.

I know that Cynthia doesn't read these comments but she is a phenomenal professor and human being. She has gone above and beyond her job title and has helped rocket my career and skills. Many find her harsh, but if you really listen to what she says, you will better from it. I recommend every class she teaches. You may be upset by her honesty at first, but instead of quitting, prove her wrong and you will earn her respect.

Super intimidating, but honestly the best professor I've ever had. You must have a good work ethic, you must come prepared to learn from your mistakes, you must listen to her. She's an incredible source of knowledge and experience. Oswego is lucky to have such a great instructor. Cheers Cynthia. I miss hearing from you!

Cynthia is an amazing advisor and very interested in students who have the drive to produce quality work. She is funny, easy to listen to, fair, VERY knowledgable. I scheduled my classes, often based on which sections she was teaching! But her classes are not easy A's - you actually have to produce, and she'll push you to be even better.

Excellent Professor - Bottom line... The reviews on this website that are negative are by wash outs and losers who wont amount to anything life because they can't take the heat and don't have an interest in not sucking.

Cynthia is a great professor. She helped me learn so much about stuff I never even knew existed. Her class is extremely tough but if you try you will leave with a lot more information than you realize.

Comment:
She is perhaps the best professor that I had on campus. The classes are extremely difficult, but you got to put in the time and the effort. If the arts don't come naturally for you, work extra hard. She's critical, but honest and helpful. Put in the time (which is A LOT) and it's worth it. Not an easy grader, but you learn a life lesson or two.

An excellent and well informed professor. She knows her stuff. The course is a lot of work in and out of the class. Ive heard that Michael Tomas's 207 isnt as strict with deadlines and work practice. But if you want to get into Graphic Arts then being efficient and working with deadlines is good practice.

Comment:
Listen, this teacher is just a nasty person. I hated her so much. I couldn't believe how ridiculous this person was. If your not an art major don't stick around. She can be very manipulitive and dodges the room when students need help at their most crucial times. If you didn't buy the Adobe Package for yourself you need to: $700 and expect alot of

Hated Oswego until I had her for a prof. Like the other comments, if you do your work she loves you. If you slack off she just doesn't have the time. And if you're a freshman or sophomore, avoid her until you're at least a junior. If you respect her she is awesome and hilarious. She also knows dirt on everyone.

Comment:
Cynthia is an excellent instructor if you are willing to work hard. She is not afraid to say what everyone else is thinking. If you want flowery encouragement, show your work to your grandmother. If you want to improve your work, show it to Cynthia.
