Key questions
Is this an easy A?
An A is possible, but students say strict complete/incomplete grading and exact requirements make it costly.
Both formats mention harsh grading, while the strongest complete/incomplete GPA warning comes from an online review.
Is the course easy?
The design work is intellectually and creatively demanding because students must meet very specific standards.
Online and in-person reviews both describe challenge, with in-person comments adding more concern about hard homework.
Is attendance flexible?
Participation matters appears often, but reviews do not clearly explain a flexible attendance policy.
Both formats emphasize participation, with no clear evidence that attendance is optional.
Is this professor recommended?
Recommendation is split, but the harsh grading and unclear teaching complaints make the course risky.
Online reviews are sharply divided, while in-person reviews range from strong professional praise to strong avoidance.
