Anat Szendro Sevilla INST408V Expecting a B- Anonymous 12/14/2023	The class isn't structured well. Her lectures did not help at all with the actual visual design projects. Everything I learned about visual design I learned from my own interest and research, not from this class. The grading also makes no sense, it is so subjective even as a course meant to develop your fundamentals, and her comments on your designs clash with her TA's comments more than half the time. She's nice at the beginning, but progressively got worse as the semester went on. I don't recommend her.

Anat Szendro Sevilla INST408V Expecting an A- Anonymous 11/15/2023	While Professor Anat Szendro Sevilla (she/her) puts effort into assisting students, the overall class structure leaves many of the students question. The lecture-studio format, where she reads off prepared slides and promptly departs, lacks engagement with the students and rarely ever interacts with them throughout the class. While her feedback on presentation days is helpful, the subsequent miscommunication arises when implementing revisions. Grad TA, Anne Badt, often contradicts Professor Sevilla's suggestions, resulting in a poorly structured and frustrating learning experience. This is directly related to the grading that is done in the course, trying to adhere to someones suggestions will result in losing points due to how another may look at your project. I highly suggest to stay away from the course, there are better UI/UX design courses offer in the iSchool and this is not one of them.

Super caring, understanding, fun, and knowledgeable. If you aren't taking her class, you are missing out.
Jason Aston INST408V Expecting an A Anonymous 12/20/2021	He was such a great professor. Super cool and young. He taught us a lot about design and how projects work in the real world. I would recommend taking him and I will be taking him in future courses.
