Comment:
She's a really nice professor who tries her best to help you out. I enjoyed 2D Design with her. She does what she can and is moderately easy-going about due dates. Only thing is she's a little slow with technology. However, I would still recommend her.

Comment:
Ann is a sweetheart but a hard grader. She is sometimes unclear about what she wants in a project, but she is heavy in demonstrations so that makes up for it. I'd take her again, despite her being a hard grader.

Comment:
She is alright. Sometimes inconsistent with her grading. (will tell you to change one thing one day and then something different the next) Also she is not as familiar with the programs that she works with as she should be (ex: Illustrator).

I love Ann. Love her so much that I had to take her twice in one year. Sure she is sometimes forgetful and flustered but she helps out a lot. Ask her anytime to critique a project and she will tell you what you should do to get a better grade. I think her own art is beautiful as well, very talented. My fav prof at GV by far.

Comment:
Where to start...Don't expect to breeze through the class. While the concepts are fairly simple, shes demanding when it comes to "craft." As far as her teaching ability, there is none. Shes horrible at explaining things and knows nothing about computers. She once asked me what CS2 was!!

Anne tries to be helpful and sometimes suceeds. Sometimes I wonder if she really likes her job anymore. She has a lot of knowledge about color but I think she sometimes struggles communicating her ideas.

Ann's great, sometimes she's easy sometimes she's hard... depends on how much sleep she's getting. She loves to help and is a great prof. Her assignments sometimes seem pointless, but you learn so much without knowing it!! Take Ann, especially if you love Color Aid lol! She's so sweet!

ann keister is amazing. she will flat out tell you when something is wrong. but she wont make you feel bad about it. very cheery, funny. helps you out with projects, gives you enough time. slide shows can be long, but good to watch. great for 2D. shes very nice to all of her students, and sometimes likes to take random 20-30 minute breaks.

She knows what she's talking about. Listen to suggestions she gives you and work off of them. Don't be offended if she tells you straight out something is bad. Also, pay attention and participate in critiques and use class time wisely, she gives you ample time to complete projects.

She knows graphic design, but sometimes use that knowledge to bore you to death with her demos. Sometimes she isnt clear as to what you need to change and tends to be a little biased. She gives you alot of time in class to work on projects. But like I said, shes not clear about requirements.

I like Annie! She always tells you what exactly you need to know. She sometimes puts you to sleep during slide presentations. The best part about her class is that she gives you 30 to 45 minute breaks! Work hard, be creative, ask questions.

Ann is such a relief compared to all the other profs in the art department. She is extremely helpful and shes not an A**hole about it. Her lectures can be boring, but she gives you so much class time to work in class.
