Evaluation of Health Communication

How can this class be improved?
There were massive amounts of reading that we had to do. It was way too much. My eyes became so strained, I actually considered grinding up aspirin and sprinkling it into my eyeballs. We took quizzes that were 15 questions with about 120 pages of reading material. That is insane. Never before have I read so much material. Every time I went to read some more for this class I fell asleep and dreamed about stupid things like a hospital full of Spanish speaking people and only non Spanish speaking me to take care of them all. Thanks for that. Let's never do it again.

What were the greatest strengths of this course?
I dunno. It's arms?

What were the greatest strengths of this instructor?
Probably her last name. I mean McCracken. How freaking cool is that? It sounds like a pirate name. Cheers to you, Cap'n' McCracken.

Evaluation of Communication Ethics

How can this class be improved?
Well for one, the professor wasn't very clear about assignments and such. For a communications professor, this seems pretty stupid. Also, half of the class failed the midterm if that tells you anything. Her tests were approximately ten billion questions long, so that was fun. Also the textbook was very unhelpful. The majority of the reading that we had to do would talk about what it was going to talk about in the next section. Why?! There were also a ton of grammatical errors, which was really distracting. It referenced cell phones as a 'new' technology if that's any indication to how relevant the text was. 

What were the greatest strengths of this course?
The sheer force the confusion created by this class used to punch me in the face. Everything was made more complicated than it needed to be, and we were expected to memorize an insane amount of crap. It made the bags under my eyes get so big, I'm afraid that my head will fall in. Think about that, will you?

What were the greatest strengths of this instructor?
She really lectured the class for not understanding the material, even though that probably wasn't our fault. She was really confusing. This class should have been called Communication Confusion. 

Evaluation of Typography

How can this class be improved?
It would help if the professor wasn't so hyper critical. It was all straighten this, add this, spend 72 more hours making this. It was really irritating. It would also be nice if she would let us get out of class early once in a while. When the entire classes stomachs are growling in unison, it's probably a good idea to let us go before the computer cords are eaten. After a while, they do kind of look like spaghetti noodles without sauce. Eventually that seems pretty appetizing, which is sad since spaghetti without sauce tastes like moist rubber bands.

What were the greatest strengths of this course?
Probably the combined power of all the computers in the room. I'm sure their processing power combined would be quite impressive.

What were the greatest strengths of this instructor?
She had a frown the size of the equator if that counts for anything. The end.

Evaluation of 3D Design

First of all, I'm pretty sure that this class destroyed my brain and my will to live. We had a trillion projects to do, and each one took at least 12 hours to do. It was terrible. With that said, here is my evaluation:

How can this class be improved?
Well sir, I have a couple of suggestions. First of all, cut down the number of projects. I thought I was going to die of exhaustion/glue inhalation due to all the projects I had to do. I have lost countless hours of precious sleep because of this class. Secondly, chill out on studio time. The professor really wanted us to work in the dingy little classroom with very uncomfortable metal stools (aka stalagmites perfect for precision probing) and tiny, tiny desks with wobbly necks. Seriously, the desks had the stability of rolling pins on a slope. I don't know how I was expected to work in such conditions. My bottom got sore, and I couldn't fit all my junk on the desk. Inconvenient to the max. Besides, everyone that is sane would rather work at home without anyone peering over your shoulder at your project. There was also a ton of clay dust on the floor, making everything I set on the floor turn white. This either made me look like a baker of some sort, or a major cocaine addict. 

What were the greatest strengths of this course?
The way that the stress punched me in the stomach and then pointed and laughed at me. I also got some pretty good abs from holding in frustration screams. I'm hoping it improved my abs. It either did that or cracked my ribs. That's strength I suppose. I also think this class gave me a permanent twitch in my eye. Hooray.

What were the greatest strengths of this instructor?
When are you going to stop asking this stupid question? I dunno his strengths. Let me tell you some weaknesses instead, because I'm negative and rude. For each project, he only gave us 10 points, which was pretty discouraging. Let me make something clear. These projects took forever, encouraged strange behavior(such as digging through the trash), and what I imagine you are forced to do for an eternity in Hell. My advice for Mr. Instructor: calm down on the amount of projects. I'm not some mass project production machine. There was way too much to do. During the semester, I actually began to daydream about everything that I would do if I didn't have to finish a project for this class. Usually the activity I daydreamed about was sleeping or eating something that wasn't a Pop Tart.
