Evaluation of Media Management

How can this class be improved?
Well right off, I'd ditch all the ridiculous quizzes. Those forced me to memorize a bunch of junk I don't have any particular interest for, which means I remember none of it. The open book quizzes weren't much better, since I felt like every question was a trick. I don't think that's the point of a quiz. We're trying to learn stuff not get out of Wonderland. It shouldn't be tricky business. But what do I know? I've only been going to school for forever. 

What were the greatest strengths of this course?
The textbook was an excellent way to make me fall asleep/question every decision I have ever made in my life. I don't think that answers the question, but I don't care because it's a stupid question. 

What were the greatest strengths of this instructor?
He was really cooperative. He worked with me (and the other students) really well. He laughed at his own jokes though. That made me question his intentions. Not that that matters much. I just feel weird when people laugh at their own jokes when no one else laughs.

Evaluation of Criminal Profiling

How can this class be improved?
I personally didn't like that participation was required. But that's probably because I hate everyone, so don't take my word for it.

What were the greatest strengths of this course?
Well I now have the ability to profile everyone I meet. So clearly something was done right in this class. I've always been able to tell an idiot right away, but now I can tell that they're an idiot as well as diagnose the cause of them being an idiot (I'm fun at parties).


What were the greatest strengths of this instructor?
His teaching style encouraged actual learning instead of memorizing a bunch of junk just to get through a class. I learned a lot about myself and my motivation for things (usually sleep and avoiding the general public). He was extremely educated in the subject he taught, and that was obvious. Also, I could see him profiling me and the other people in the class when he spoke to us. It was great, because I knew right off that he knew that I am introverted and rude. Hats off to you Mr. Eschler.

Evaluation of 2D Design

How can this class be improved?
I really liked this class. I will be completely honest. The teaching was excellent for a class like this. It was more about giving some direction to go in and creating something that was expressive of yourself. This was so refreshing from a lot of my other classes where the professor barks orders at you, and keeps your project to the letter rather than actually teaching us to use our brains and create something new. My one comment though for something that I didn't like; there was one weird lady with psychotic teeth that had an exorcism head that turned completely around to grin at me. That was really uncomfortable. So basically discourage weird teethed people from looking at me. 

What were the greatest strengths of this course?
Like I said, the teaching method was excellent. We were given constructive criticism, and it was presented in a way that didn't make you feel stupid or inadequate. We were given plenty of time for projects, and it wasn't overwhelming. I feel like a lot of classes like this are really easy to become overwhelming, but this one didn't. It was a lot of work, but I didn't feel like a Hebrew with a pyramid to build. 

What were the greatest strengths of this instructor?
His mustache is awesome.
