The decision
Key questions
Is this an easy A?
Many report easy As if work is clean and complete, but tough detail standards and quizzes still require consistent effort.
The one online review is easy and clear; in-person grades range from easy A to tough journal grading.
Is the course easy?
Concepts are introductory for many, yet multi-hour studios, journals, and big projects raise the real challenge.
Online ID100 felt easy; in-person studio and portfolio work is substantially heavier.
Is attendance flexible?
Repeated tags and comments say skip class and you will not pass, with docks for lateness or leaving early.
Evidence is almost entirely in-person; online notes attendance as not mandatory.
Is this professor recommended?
Most students recommend her for real design training despite boredom, rambling, or workload gripes.
In-person opinions dominate and lean positive overall; online is limited but favorable.
