Prof Macko is flexible and easy to talk to. She assigned projects with plenty of time to complete them and become very proficient with photoshop. Most of the assignments don't even feel like work, just having fun creating! Almost always got let out of class very early in online class.

Prof. Macko is awesome. Had her for Art 181 at Scripps, and it was an awesome class. She is very accepting and open to all ideas and really lets students run the class the way that they want to. She gave great feedback on our projects and made the class interesting but not too tough. Overall great person and prof!

I had Prof Macko for Core 2, and she's such a sweet Professor, and super understanding as well. She's really great to work with, and is very encouraging of in class discussions, even if she doesn't agree with your perspectives. Her core class with prof Flynn is super easy to score an A in.

Comment:

Prof Macko has been at Scripps a while and is very knowledgable/respected. The class itself relied almost entirely on student work, she didn't do much teaching or lecturing herself, which was kind of a bummer. She can be a bit condescending at times but is also very understanding when it comes to personal issues etc. Wasn't my favorite prof/class.

I took her Core 2 class on Economics of Gender and Choice and loved her! THE most understanding and flexible prof I've had, gives full credit all the time for very late work. Assigns lots of readings but you can get away with not doing them or just skimming. Would definitely recommend this class if you want something interesting & not impossible.

Comment:

Prof would usually come in late and then disappear during class, but I also know she had some personal things going on. So she wasn't really around and didn't do much teaching, but I did like the set up of the classprimarily independent working/assignments. She did give good feedback and was generally supportive of students.

Comment:

I've taken 2 of Nancy's classes and found them to be enjoyable both times. I learned a variety of printmaking and digital art techniques that I've applied to my own art & other classes. Nancy is also very accommodating for medical issues/learning differences/personal issues that come up. She wants everyone to do well & is an encouraging instructor

I loved taking class with Prof. Macko! She is so sweet, genuinely cares for her students & digital art, and is definitely one of my favorite professors. Her grading style is very clear and easy to do well in her class if you follow the guidelines. This course was really fun since she encourages students to have fun and be creative w their work.

Comment:

Professor Macko is NICE. That is probably the least enthusiastic way I could possibly describe an art professor. What I want is a person who will push me, give me constructive criticism, encourage me to think about conceptual ideology, question me, and through all of this encourage me to grow.

Macko is the nicest most amazing professor I have ever had. If you ever have a problem she is right there to help but she also leaves you alone to execute your art unhindered. I actually took the class twice because I loved it so much

Comment:

Prof. Macko is very kind, supportive, and fun. The class covers a lot of ground: image processing, web design, typography, layout design, color theory--but all at a basic level so you can take it all in. Fair amount of reading and the projects overlap so at times it might seem overwhelming but Prof. M is very flexible and will help if you need.

Nancy was so good I made her my advisor. Interesting material, very feminist theory focused. Teaches the digital art and intellectual thought. Great class all around!

The feminist utopias class was pretty strange, but I liked the readings a lot. Macko is really cool and I would definitely recommend taking a class with her.

Comment:

I'm sure she's a great art professor, she was nice, but her Core was lame. I felt as though everyone's Core was making these great discoveries and doing incredible things - while we talked about things that didn't really matter. The class did not seem to progress - it was the most useless of my Core classes. I don't recommend Feminist Utopias.

Nancy makes a great adviser, but only if you're self-directed. Very easy. Good professor to independent study with. Very, very nice and comes to you with opportunities related to your field if you let her know you're interested.

Nancy is great. She will assign you reading in art courses and expect you to discuss it, but you aren't really held accountable. She's tons of fun, always interesting and interested, and she's always got a creative solution to your problems.
