Anat Szendro Sevilla INST367 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 05/14/2025	I don't know what is going on in her other classes, but in 367, she's fine. She is very educated in UX and the field of design. There were two main projects in class, the first being an individual project and the second being a group project. You don't get to pick your teams, but if you get a good team, you're fine. We had weekly reading and video responses discussions that were easy, just a couple of sentences each. The class itself was pretty chill, usually started with a lecture/discussion, and moved into project work. We were usually prototyping on Figma or paper and testing them with each other and the instructional team. We also presented our prototypes during different stages of the projects to receive feedback and critiques. She can sometimes be a bit micromanaging, but it was warranted, as some people were not really paying attention/doing work. She does take attendance every class, but it meets once a week, so missing class can really put you and your team behind.

She can be a little bit over the top and come off harsh, but I was okay with it, honestly. Assignments are super easy as long as you try and communicate with her.
Anat Szendro Sevilla INST367 Expecting an A Anonymous 03/04/2025	It kind of felt like she was trying to give off the impression of being a really nice professor, but I know a lot of students in my class were a bit scared to approach her. She would unexpectedly say kind of harsh things to students. It honestly gave me anxiety just to sit in that class. Other the that, the grading did feel a bit subjective, especially when it came to participation. If you are a student athlete or travel to compete for the school, do not even bother to take this class. If you miss it, even when excused, your participation grade will bomb. If you are a student who occasionally has to work in class on other things (like me, who was working full time and needed to zone out every once in a while to answer an email during the 2.5 hour class) be prepared to feel very judged by her for it. As for the content, it was okay. I really did not learn that much. A lot of lessons kind of felt either too simple or too repetitive. There was a lot of focus on the theoretical instead of in depth technical work, which could get frustrating.

This course does a great job of instilling UX principles and design thinking. However students were sometimes confused about assignments and how to use figma. A great emphasis on the theoretical but not much on the technical

You definitely have to learn Figma to move through INST367 properly though. I highly recommend this class, she brings treats, gives us breaks but still provides amazing discussions geared towards learning. I learned more a lot design in this class without the stress of it being a college course itself.
