Dietrich is a character, but this class really will help you become a better designer. He gives great feedback in class and the class basically creates a portfolio for you because of all the small assignments you do.

He's great!! Definitely take this class if you're interested in design--Maune has an artistic eye and will point out small details, but it only helps to make you a better designer. There are a few quizzes on print techniques you have to study for, but most of your grade comes from design skill

AWESOME!TAKE HIM! I have never worked on a mac before this class and he was extremely helpful. He went at a good pace that let students understand the programs. I loved his hands on way of teaching! study for the 2 exams and be creative with the projects...you should be fine! TAKE HIM! there is barely any busy work which is great!

Comment:
Had him for the web part of 202. He's kinda clueless and it shows. Knows Dreamweaver well enough, but teaches the whole class using TABLES which is a very wrong method of web design. Projects were easy but boring (just replicate stuff) and I really don't think I learned much from the class. Didn't read the book at all.

also had 201 with him. good professor. he teaches in a "hands on" kind of way. easy projects, explains everything well, but a bit boring if you already know what he's talking about.

Great teacher! Very clear and helpful, though could be more energetic at times. He tries to be personable with students. Projects are relatively simple due to extremely clear hand-outs. Watch out for a few pop quizzes, study for tests, ask for his input on projects, and you'll do fine with Maune.

Knows subject but seems to just be bored with teaching the class. The class material itself can be boring at times but he does little to spruce it up. There are areas of the class that are fundamental so you have to stick it out. The work is hard but effective in getting across the points across.

Classes started out slow, but once we got beyond how computers worked and started projects, I REALLY enjoyed it. Always willing to help students and make sure they understand. Genuinely nice professor! Highly recommended!

He made me want to learn more and more. It was never a chore doing projects in his class, because he made it interesting. If you get an opportunity, take his class.

I thought he was such a nice professor. The course doesn't move too fast so you are able to follow everything. He will help you out. Tests are easy - just memorizing the material. He grades projects nicely. I would definitely recommend him!
