She's a very nice lady, but she is hard to understand and she is terrible at giving instructions. I did well because I've used AutoCAD before, but it might be confusing to someone who has never used it before. She gives you plenty of opportunities to make up any bad grades though, so that is nice.
great teacher, she really wants the students to succeed. However she knows its all up to the student to put in the work, she does help you as much as she can. You can tell she has a lot of experience and knows what she is talking about. I enjoyed her class
Great teacher, she cares about her students and wants them to keep learning... she has the passion of learning and teaching, she does have a lot of real world knowledge... thank you, I look forward to the next course.
she try and is a good thing, but is so hard to understand her accent (i dont wanna sound rude or anything, but yeah she is hard to understand and to know what is going on) , the whole semester i was lost i never knew what was going on, the class had 31 students at first , at the end of the semester we were like 11 students.
Ms Lyon is a great teacher and provide feedback about many topics. The class itself was not hard, it is very useful because she knows very well about graphics and construction. If for some reason her students can't complete their tasks, she is helping us with all technical issues. She is amazing, I wish I could take another class with her again.
She is an excellent professor, great knowledge in the areas of CAD drawings and software (AutoCAD, Civil 3D, Revit, GIS). Attendance is not mandatory but if you need help or need some extra credit at the end of the semester she won't be so nice if you missed a lot of her classes. Also, she is willing to help at any moment, just ask for it.
Awesome professor! One of the best professor I have seen in my life. A woman with extreme knowledge and high committed values and ethics. In fact, great insights and always interesting topics. Ms. Lyon is terrific!!
This class is not very hard and very informative. Mrs. Lyon is probably the best professor I have had at UH, she is super helpful and nice. We can understand her because she is an excellent teacher, always care for student's success and is always available to questions. We love this teacher...
Mrs. Lyon is an amazing teacher. Her class is interesting and she is always willing to help you. Small projects and participation is important. She is not only teacher, she is working in real projects. This is your best choice.
didn't learn anything. difficult to understand. easy class. did not do anything all semester. then five assignments due in the last three weeks of class. In the top five worst instructors I've ever had. One student said that "(her class )Is like a movie that you can't stand to watch, but u stay because you paid for the ticket."
Be prepared to do nothing in class for months. Then, get slammed with assignments the last month. Her expectations/directions aren't clear until you go to turn in the assignment. Confused as to why her rating is so high.
Professor Lyon is amazing professor. She is very well prepared with her material to teach and also very knowledgable about what she teaches. She is always helpful if you go for help to her, her test are easy if you read some important things from book, but if you dont then it will be hard. You dont do anything in the course just study for some time
This professor is down to earth, she is pretty good and always helpful to students, if they seek help. Her quizzes are very easy, if you study book just a little, you can make straight A because all her quizzes comes from the book. Take her if you want to make A and she teaches as well.
Mrs. Lyon is teaching all graphic concepts for construction in my first year and CM experience class. Coolest professor ever! Wish she was teaching more classes.
Mrs. Lyon knows the topics and she is super helpful. Be sure to take all the quizzes. Mrs. Lyon is the best teacher i've had.
Mrs. Lyon is a really easy teacher if you show up to class. All her quizzes are based off the PowerPoint she has in class and her book. She is a nice person. It is an easy A class if you just show up to class!
Great professor with a good sense of humor! It's A LOT of information to learn, but she understands this and will help you out when you ask questions. I actually looked forward to coming to class. Overall, great professor, would take again A++
Eva is great. She is an extremely busy individual yet so helpful and supportive of our professional development. She really, really cares about her students. Mrs. Lyon brings so much enthusiasm to the classroom that everybody is excited about pursuing a construction career! I definitely recommend her classes!
Professor Eva goes over and beyond to invest her students in opportunities for them to succeed outside of the class. she is a great professor that combines her real world experience with her clear passion for teaching.
Great professor. Excited about class and wants to make sure everyone understands. Hope she stays and teaches more classes.
Lyon is a really great !! She knows what she's talking about, and cares a lot about each of her students. I actually was in one of her classes last semester and it was extremely interesting because there was a lot of information, and I would recommend staying on top of the readings, but honestly she is such a great professor that it's worth it!
Ms. Lyon is a nice person. Easy Class!! Just do all your work on time and do well on the project and assignments. She goes over the projects step by step in class. So do read! You can pass and get a good grade without going but make sure you also participate when you do! Very nice teacher also. She is a really easy teacher if you show up to class.
Professor Lyon is the essence of what a college construction professor should be. She is really clear on the concepts she teaches and she was always willing to help you on anything that you might be stuck on! Would definitely take again if I could.
Wish professor Lyon was teaching more classes. Great sense of humor and has a lot of fun with her class. Coolest professor ever! Have her for CM in my first year. You can tell she loves teaching.
She is amazing! The class is very organized and easy. She is one of the best professors at the CM. She is funny and is there to help anyone. The class was fun and had an overall sense of camaraderie between the students and Professor Lyon. I loved her and her class! She is the nicest professor on campus. Recommend her to anyone
Nice instructor and interesting Class, Turn in all your projects on time and study for the tests. The tests are not hard just read the chapters. Go to class and work in exercises. Attendance is not mandatory but highly encouraged.
The coursework was clearly laid out and Professor Lyon was great at answering questions or concerns you had about the class. The CAD tools we learned about seemed pretty useful and I definitely took quite a bit away from this class. I had this professor this semester (Spring 2015) for Graphics. Overall, Professor Lyon's class was excellent.
I took Professor Lyon's class a long time ago and she is still one of the most amazing teachers I've ever had. She's energetic and full of experience-base knowledge. She makes it really easy to do well. Lyon has one of the most inspirational rags to riches experience ever. You owe it to yourself to take and attend her class.
Mrs. Lyon is a very friendly professor. If you go to her class before the test, she would help you instead of making you feel bad that you didn't study. Be sure to ask her how she thinks about your projects because you will give you feedback and you can improve your grade with a good portfolio. Take her!
Professor Lyon made it clear on the first day that this class is really meant to help everyone, which is very true. She understands that this is a very important requirement most tech students are needed to take. I think what stood out to me the most was the conscious effort she made for everyone to be on the same page. Took time to make sure stude
Professor Lyon is great !!!! She loves to teach and enjoy her classes. She is funny and she has a lot of experience.
Excellent professor and really helpful. If you have questions or need additional assistance, Professor Lyon will be glad to help you. all you need to do is work.
Attending the Graphics training by Lyon was a great experience. This course program broadened my knowledge in Blueprint and Construction Management. Professor Lyon is simply amazing with interesting teaching methods.
A knowledgeable person, & one of the few professors I have had who does not see the job as an annoyance, or an intrusion on her other commitments. Lyon is genuinely interested in helping her students learn to draw with clarity and accuracy; She is knowledgeable about her field, & generous in sharing her knowledge. A rare pleasure among Professors!!
Professor Lyon is very nice person and very good instructor !!!!!!
Enrolling and participating in Graphic class was the best way to kick start my semester and further my knowledge. Throughout the 40-hour course, i was on the edge of my seat eager to learn more. Professor Lyon is an influential, well educated woman who is selflessly available to help students succeed via smart interaction.
Professor Lyon is the best choice. Drawings is hard and if you don't dedicate MANY hours outside of class you wont do well in Construction Business. Mrs. Lyon can be kind of rude and he has rules that he makes sure students follow! No electronics and no talking. But other than that she is a very good professor and wants us to actually understand co
Mrs. Lyon is cool and down to earth. Graphics are always a lot of work, but she's decent at not overloading students. Professor Lyon is helpful if you come to her. If you're taking CNST1330, she's the way to go.
Professor Lyon has real world experience and she is very knowledgeable with Construction documents. I definitely recommend this professor and would take one of her courses again.
Professor Eva Lyon is a great professor and professional in the industry. UH and UH students majoring in Construction Management who take her courses are very fortunate and can gain a lot of from her. This course is very encouraging and positive. There are plenty of opportunities she provides for students to reach their career goals.
Professor Lyon loves to teach and help her students. She is looking for good opportunities to improve her student skills. I hope that she can teach more classes at UH.
Just read professor Lyon's lecture slides and you will be all set. Weekly quiz homework and exams are fair and easy as far as you keep up with her lectures. One group project in semester and don't procrastinate on it :) She is very smart, knowledgeable and her lectures are fun as she puts lot of effort while teaching.
Great teacher who knows what she talks about. Professor Lyon is extremely helpful in any way possible. Turn in case studies on time, book report on time, and review the study sheet is a MUST and you will do just fine. Definitely recommend any course that she teaches. Also, make sure you to answer bonus questions!
Professor Lyon is professional and courteous. A true credit to her industry and profession. If you are not making an A in her class it is because you don't have your priorities straight and she knows who those students are. If you are working in her class, she will go out of her way to help any one of her students.
Mrs. Lyon is a good teacher. I was kind of scared about doing drafting but she made everything clear and straightforward. we also have access to her online class notes so there we can go over recorded lectures, that was really helpful.
Really nice professor. Professor Lyon loves to teach and really cares for her students. It is an easy A if you put in the work only.
you'll get credit for showing up to class but attendance is not mandatory! Some tests, a midterm and a final. make sure to do all your quizzes and you'll get an easy A! cool teacher!
Prof. Lyon encourages her students to be interactive, share ideas/experiences and to become overall more engaged within the lecture which creates a student-professor bond that is nothing short of quality. She is a breath of fresh air in the lost art of teaching.
Ms. Lyon was a great professor and made the class interesting and fun. she wants all students to do well, so show up and you should do great. You get to read a construction project and application as the majority of your grade. Class was awesome and a great experience.
This professor is an excellent speaker and always keeps lecture interesting. Also, the book for this class was a pretty descent read and I plan on buying it. She really cares about getting students prepared for real world scenarios.
Professor Lyon is a great professor and professional in the industry. UH and UH students majoring in Construction Management who take her courses are very fortunate and can gain a lot of from her.

Professor Lyon has real world experience and is very knowledgeable with Construction and graphics. I definitely recommend this professor and would take one of her courses again.
Good teacher and easy to understand. Her classes are enjoyable.
Group projects are assigned for project studies. Project studies are more challenging than usual. However, this was beneficial, as we gained more knowledge in our fields. Also, having a professor like Mrs. Lyon with a successful background was very inspirational.
Amazing class! It is easy, but you will learn a lot. She is very helpful and interacts a lot with her students. My favorite at UH so
I took Professor Lyon's class a year ago and she is still one of the most amazing teachers I've ever had. She's energetic and full of experience-base knowledge. She makes it really easy to do well. Lyon has one of the most inspirational rags to riches stories ever. You owe it to yourself to take and attend her class.
Took Professor Lyon for drafting class and was a really good teacher. She explains things to where anyone could understand. The subject itself is somewhat difficult but she's good at getting the information through. I would definitely recommend her.
She is the best professor I have ever had. Lyon is very nice and cares for her students. This class has quizzes and projects. I agree that this class is a GPA booster. You would have to do and you will learn a lot. Start on it early. Overall its an easy class if you read and work. I would recommend her to everyone.
Prof. Lyon may seem tough and tells it like it is but she really cares about the students. Her knowledge of the construction industry is beyond helpful since she tells you real world situations. Do the work and listen in class and DO NOT fall behind or it will hurt you.
This is very simple: Professor Lyon is a great teacher and she loves to teach and help her students. I recommend her a lot !!!
Great teacher, knows the material very well. Weekly assignments in and out of the book, just answering of questions at end of chapter. Easy book report assignment, with an actually interesting book! Participate in project development and the grading on weekly assignments will be easy.
I wanted to have a good grade and learn about construction drawings at the same time. I did !!!! Professor Lyon helped me to be the winner. Thanks :)
I like this class !!!
Loved Eva. She is so kind, funny, inspirational, and down to earth. An amazing professor and person. Professor Lyon will give you so much individual attention and help you grow significantly.
Eva Lyon - Simply the Best in the Construction Program :o)
Very helpful. Great prof.
Eva is super nice, funny & always has time for students. Her class is pretty easy as long as you do everything & especially if you take advantage of her class hours at least once. Prof. Lyon will make sure you get an A if she sees you are trying. Very personable, normal & nice. Go to class because she gives extra points for attendance every class.
Amazing class. I'd highly recommend this course to anyone contemplating the pursuit of any construction studies. Professor Lyon is not only knowledgeable and experience, but she draws the best out of every student. p.s. Good luck with getting into this course as it's extremely competitive.
I was weary when I first showed up and looked at the syllabus, but to tell you the truth, as the class went on it was just easy to do the work and pay attention. Professor Lyon is so passionate about this class and having this opportunity made me take soc as A-. She was amazing, it was my last class of the week and I loved it
I am convinced Eva Lyon is actually an angel. She's probably the most caring professor I've ever had in my college career. She's always there to help, and she wants her students to succeed in her classes. Lyon finds ways to make the lecture entertaining and is always well-prepared. Overall a really nice person, too. A+ 10/10 would take always.
Excellent teacher. Professor Lyon seems very grumpy, but if you study, avoid using your phone in class, and make it to every lecture on time (every single one), she will help you more than any other professor is willing to. She stays after class whenever people ask, holds additional study sessions, and office hours of course. She's also hilarious.
I hope that I am able to have classes with professor Lyon in the future. She is a great lecturer, funny, passionate, and extremely caring.
Everything about Eva is great! Professor Lyon is genuinely one of the nicest professors that I've had!
Ms. Eva Lyon was my professor and she helped me a lot with my drawings and construction concepts. I remember her voice when she told us that we need to learn more for grades that survive in this jungle. She is Amazing !!!!!
Ms. Lyon is amazing teacher. She helps her students to learn about construction and drafting documents. I want that she teach more classes.
Professor Lyon has a lot of experience and knowledge in construction and drawings, but we need to attend her class periodically and read her class book and lectures to learn more about blueprint reading. Her class gives us the best tools to improve our construction skills. I recommend her classes.
Really nice, knows her stuff, will make time to help you, Mrs. Lyon is down to earth but still strict enough that you'll learn something in her class........... And she's super fine too.
Mrs. Lyon is one of the nicest most friendly teachers! She is always willing to help and make the class experience easy and interesting. She is very helpful, explains everything clearly, and always gives examples. Pay attention in class, study book, her notes are not very detailed but her tests are not that difficult. Easy A!
We were learning with Professor Lyon that drafting and read blueprints are very important for construction and design business. She explains with many graphics and simple drawings how we can use them. She loves to teach and find her way to communicate and teach her students very well.
This is the door for construction. Professor Lyon is going to teach us a new language: graphics and drawings that we need to apply for construction. She is amazing teacher.
We do not find many women in the construction business. Professor Lyon is one of these amazing women working and teaching in construction with passion. I want to take more classes with this strict and professional instructor.
Professor Lyon is an AWESOME professor! She is extremely willing to help her students out when they need it. Just because she is willing to help doesn't mean that this is a blow off class, there are lots and lots of work. If you stay on top of your stuff you should have no problem getting an A.
My expectation was big when I began to take this class. Professor Lyon was worried to teach us and give us a lot of materials very important about many construction topics. If you want to learn, you need to attend her classes. I want to take more classes with this excellent instructor.
You need to be sure that you are going to learn about drawings and construction with Mrs. Lyon. You need to read your book and take quizzes online. this class is very helpful for the construction business. We need to take more classes with Professor Lyon.
Read blueprints is very important for construction business and Professor Lyon is the best option to learn about drawings and construction details. She has a lot of knowledge and experience in construction and development of projects. I studied, learned very much and enjoyed her class.
Professor Lyon has a interesting class about construction and drawings. We need to read and take online quizzes with open book. I learned about different topics and she told us about construction. She helped me with my resume and portfolio.
I was scare when I started to study construction, but I began to take this class with Professor Lyon, I am more confident in this business because she is working in construction for many years & shares a lot of experience with us. I want to find more women in the construction business and I hope that Mrs. Lyon teach me more classes in the future.
Professor Lyon is very organize and very funny. We can find all her lectures and quizzes online. If you want to learn, this is the perfect class because she share her knowledge and experience with her class. I recommend her classes.
I did not like to take classes Saturday but this was my only option. I started to learn a lot and I began to understand more about construction and drawings. Mrs. Lyon is a very good instructor.
Graphics is not easy topic but Professor Lyon is teaching in different ways that we can understand and learn about blueprints and specifications. I can find parking easily because her classes are Saturdays and evenings. I want to take more construction classes with this instructor.
Ms. Lyon is very smart and love to teach her classes. You can smell her passion inside of her classroom
Professor Lyon is a good teacher. I like her teaching style.
I learned about blueprint readings and scales in this class. Professor Lyon is very dedicated with her students.
This graphic class is very interesting because Professor Lyon is very smart, fun and help her students to improve their construction and graphic skills.
This class was very hard for me because I did not take any graphic class before and I never had a visual skills. Professor Lyon helped me a lot inside and outside of her class. When I finished her class, I completed many drafting projects.
Professor Lyon enjoys to teach her classes about construction and drafting. Her students have been learning about scales and dimensions.
Professor Lyon is very dedicate instructor about construction, sustainability and architecture. I learned a lot in her classes. I will take more classes with her.
Professor Lyon is the best female teacher at College of Technology at University of Houston. She loves to teach construction, production of construction documents and design. She spends her time with us and explain in different ways. I liked her class.
Ms. Lyon is very focus in her students learning process. I took her classes few years ago and I remember her passion for teaching.
When I made my Construction Management program, this instructor helped me a lot. Professor Lyon explained me in more details all about drawings, scales, views and more.
This class is interesting and helping us for construction and read blueprints.
I am going to graduate very soon. Professor Lyon was my instructor in my first semester. She gave me my basic knowledge about scales, units, CAD and read blueprints. I am using these skills in my construction projects now and future.
This was a great class. She is obviously an experienced professor. I sort of wish I had been able to actually see her in other classes. I and my friends that we had her in a F2F class we say actually looked forward to going to her class, because her lectures were so good.
Loved her class and had lots of fun! Was a joy to interact with and talk to. I wish Professor Lyon was still a professor at my other classes; I miss her class so much!
I enjoyed this class and learned a lot.
If you want to learn and capture the basic concept for construction, take this class
Professor Lyon is one of the best professors you can take for Construction. She gives real world examples and from her own work, and does teach of her book too. This type of teaching gets students involved and interested as we all want to know what to expect when we graduate and what we need to do going forward. Take her class its well worth the ti
By far my favorite professor AND class this semester. Eva makes class very clear and interesting. The group projects were pretty fun and not hard. Professor Lyon truly makes you see the construction world from a different perspective no matter your major. Take this class and take her!!
This instructor is great, she doesn't give you the A but professor Lyon sure makes it easy, she will highlight the important things but expects you to read. Make sure you don't leave the lab projects for last minute!!! Attendance isn't mandatory but is highly encouraged. Don't wait until last minute to start on group project. Get started early.
For multiple reason, she is a very good teacher. Professor Lyon found many ways that her lazy students learn and enjoy her construction class.
I was very scared when her class started because I did not know anything about measures or construction, much less draw. But Professor Lyon began to teach us the simplest measures and scales, as well as how we should see buildings and plans for construction of commercial, industrial and residential projects. She was my angel !!!! I learned a lot !!
Initially, I took this class because this was Saturday, the other CNST1330 Graphics I was Tuesday evening with traffic and parking issue was crazy for me. Finally this was my best decision because Ms. Lyon is very good instructor and traffic/parking are easy at weekends.
My friends recommended this instructor. I began to learn and reviewed her lectures and more information about her class. I learned a lot. Now, I recommended Professor Lyon.
Professor Lyon talks about design, construction and drawings with passion. We were learning about different topics that we need for our real projects if we need to survive in these disciplines.
Professor Lyon motivates all her students to learn and improve our skills in construction and project management. She has a lot of experience and knows how to share her knowledge in different topics. I enjoyed her class.
Professor Lyon ensures that students understand and treats everyone with respect. She has a very good sense of humor. By far the best professor I have had thus far. The course could be much harder but she teaches it in a way that makes it crystal clear. She is very fair in grading. A++

Professor Lyon's class is very easy if you attend, read and study all about her construction topics !! Easy A!!!
I was looking for other class with Professor Lyon. She was my best professor in my Construction Management Program !
Professor Eva is very smart and teaches with more enthusiasm. I took this class on Saturday at noon, I preferred to take it on my weekend because Saturday is best for parking space no matter that sometimes UH had football game because you can show your student ID, your class schedule and you can park close to the building of College of Technology.
We need t learn how we read blueprints, scales and other graphic concepts if you want to survive in Construction. Professor Lyon loves to teach and find a new way to explain you. I attended all her classes and now I began to work in a construction company!!!
After I finished this class with Professor Lyon, I was prepared so I applied and found my first job in construction management. The traffic is better on Saturdays to the campus and easier to find parking. I liked her class.
I am taking Professor Lyon class and I am learning a lot. She explains in different ways and use graphics. I think that her class is very important for UH construction program
Professor Lyon teaches with passion and she shares her experience and knowledge. I want to take more classes with her. I love to find ladies in the construction business.
I began to work in construction and I need to learn if I want to survive in my actual job. I learned a lot with professor Lyon because she provided us all her knowledge and experience in construction and development of projects. My supervisor is very happy with my improvements !!!!! and me too.
We were few girls in construction classes and i think that Professor Eva Lyon is the only female teacher. She is amazing teacher and give us her passion for construction and teaching. I want to take more classes with this instructor because I can learn and improve my skills in blueprint reading !!!!
This is my first semester in the construction program at University of Houston. I was scare if I can learn about construction but Mrs. Eva Lyon gave me some tools to work in this business. I worked in her class in my portfolio to find a job in construction. I began to apply and i will have 3 interviews in 2 weeks. This is a big surprise for me.
Ms. Lyon was a good teacher. I liked her class !!!
This class is very interesting and I think that I will have an A- but the best for me is that I am learning a lot and I began to apply for jobs in construcción!!!! Thanks Professor Lyon :o)
Professor Lyon show us all graphic information that we are going to find in the real project drawings and we win the base for graphic language for drawings. She is a excellent teacher !!
This class is very important for Construction Career. Professor Lyon has a lot of experience in construction, development of projects and project management additionally teaching. She loves to teach and help her students. I recommend her a lot.
I began to take care this class when Professor Lyon explained her class material and I worked in many extra points to have a good grade. Additionally, I learned a lot that I will apply in my construction Management career in my future. I enjoyed her class and her personality. Thanks Ms. Lyon :)
I can see in other "girl" all the abilities that I want to have in my construction career. I learned during the professor Lyon classes many tips that I can apply in my future jobs. She has a lot of experience in projects, construction and teaching. I want that she will teach us more classes.
Honestly, the material is not hard. Teach yourself & you will be fine. Try not to listen into lectures too much because you will only get confused. Instructions are unclear &will change often so do the best you can. Don't blame yourself. I have listened in on another professor &I have learned alot but attendance is necessary so I cannot skip class.
We have a lot of materials to learn and follow all Professor Lyon and her experience to learn more.... She helped me to create my professional portfolio to find my first job in construction, i was very scare but i began to have real experience. Thanks !!
This class is very important for construction program. Many classmates did not see any material and did not come to the class before and began to ask how to improve their grades... We learned a lot with Ms. Lyon
I learned a lot with Professor Lyon. She is working with her students in class to understand all blueprint topics. Her class's attendance is not mandatory but you can practice more in her class.
Professor Lyon primarily lacked organization and command of the class which led to inconsistencies and confusion at times. Instructions were not always given clearly and thus expectations were hard to meet. However she's very understanding, grades fairly, and cares about your professional development. Reading the book will do you great justice.
I do not recommend.
Professor Lyon is not very organized which made it hard to follow her class and it caused a lot of stress. Reading material and chapter quizzes are easy and you will learn most from there. Instructions were all over the place and changed often. Also, attendance is mandatory pop quizzes are done at the end of class and are password protected.
I was disappointed at the end of this class. I went to every class and I still feel like I walked out knowing nothing about Cad except what I had to teach myself due to lack of instructions. Professor Lyon is also unorganized and did not follow the syllabus from day one.
She was hard to follow in lectures, she skipped around a lot. She cares for her students but her teaching ethics are not working for the students. Many students struggled with her directions bc they were not clear. It took a long time for assignments to get graded which was frustrating because I didn't know where I stood in the class all semester.
Professor Lyon cares for her students and her teaching ethics are working for the students. She was easy to follow in lectures, she did not skip around class materials. Many students struggled with her directions because they did not see her class online or did not attend all labs.
Professor Lyon primarily is very organized and command of her class to prevent confusion and inconsistencies. Instructions were always given clearly and thus expectations were easy to meet. Additionally, she's very understanding, grades fairly, and cares about your professional development. Reading the book will do you great complement. Good class!
Lyon is the right teacher for Graphic class in this university if you want to learn but you need to study and read in her class. The other instructor is very bad but If you want an easy A, he is your guy. Her syllabus listed every weekly topic planned, each were actually discussed. Lyon is very interesting and her class too.
This class is highly sought after for a reason. Learned a lot in just few weeks, & wish it was longer!! HW, quizzes, website, different technology topics, & labs. I would most definitely recommend this class. Professor Lyon is a chill & genuine professor that really cares about her students. Also, virtual image was an awesome addition to the class!
Very unorganized which made it hard to meet any expectations. Directions were unclear. I would not recommend.
Professor Lyon has all course material is in her online class for her students. She explains in more details about drawings and scales. She is a Project Manager and has a lot of experience with projects and construction. I recommend this professor a lot because Lyon loves to teach !!!!
Thank goodness I took Cad classes in high school because so far we are not learning anything in Cad. I can see why there are reviews saying this class is unorganized. I can agree.
Highly disappointed. I wish I would have listened to the negative reviews and not the overall rating of the professor. My advice is to read the reviews. Very unorganized class and not going at a consistent pace. class will be breezy and then jammed pack with due dates because the class is behind. Grading takes forever as well.
This class has been my first course in handling plans for my career in construction. Mrs. Lyon helped me a lot because I understood the graphic information, blueprints and specifications that I should use later for budgets. We learned to use AutoCAD but it is not the main topic. After her class, I took my first job in construction.
After this class with professor Lyon, I had my tools to read drawings & specifications, additionally improve my skills in construction. This class is not high school class & each student needs to work in each chapter and group project. She teach AutoCAD & graphics but the objective is read blueprints. I am looking to "jump" for Construction field.
WARNING! Do not take this professor. Lacks organization skills and is unclear with her expectations of her assignments. Material is easy but your final project and randomly placed assignments will drag your grade down. She doesn't follow a schedule/syllabus. Take another professor.
I dont know why only the good reviews says attendance isnt mandatory because that's false. At the end of every class she makes the class take an attendance quiz that is password protected. She gives the password in class.
This class is not mandatory but it's good idea to attend because you can learn more and practice your graphic and construction concepts with Professor Lyon. She has a lot extra credits that you can use to increase your grade and she helps her students to find a job in construction companies with any experience with drawings and specification. Good!
I enjoyed this class because I learned a lot more about AutoCAD and Revit. Professor Lyon was a good professor! Read your book, her tests are online and some in class!
If you are looking a professor to learn about drawings, scales, dimensions, construction tools and read blueprints, you need to select this class because we learned to apply many topics for construction. Mrs. Lyon is a very good instructor and she has a lot of experience in construction and development of projects. She is teaching OSHA too !!!!!!!
TAKE HER TAKE HER TAKE HER! THE BEST professor at UH. I took this class as an only option for my busy schedule and its the best decision I ever made. Take her and force yourself to show up to class because you will learn so much from her, she is such an inspiration. UH is very lucky to have Professor Lyon!!!!
I took this class & hardly learned anything. What I learned was self taught. This prof is unorganized & never stuck to her plan. If you asked a question she would talk around the answer which made students not want to ask questions. Students would show up only to get the password for the attendance quiz.
I highly recommend this instructor and I respect and admire her. Some students are looking for classes for an easy degree but not to learn or achieve the training and knowledge they need to be a construction professional. If you study & practice with Professor Lyon, you will achieve a good degree and absorb the experience of this excellent teacher.
This course is very interesting and help me to become familiar in different topics in drawings and construction. Attend this class is not mandatory but you can have extra credits every class !!! Professor Lyon teachs with knowledge and experience because we can see her love for her students and her profession. This course is very important for UH.
Professor Lyon is very interested and dedicated in her class and has an excellent style to transmit her knowledge and experiences in construction to her students. She is concerned about encouraging her students to create their application and look for construction work. I recommend professor Eva Lyon to take her classes. I like her.
This class is not mandatory but I decided to attend the class to have the opportunity to learn and also have extra points. Lyon has her schedule organized by book chapters with lecture, video, exercise and respective quiz for each module. Additionally, she has additional resources for her students on construction, portfolio & professional topics.
I enjoyed her class when we were learning at the same time. I like this professor because she is teaching with passion and she is shearing her experience. Professor Lyon is teaching in UH about drawings, design and construction for many years when she is working like a Project Manager in real projects in design and construction. I will take more !!
Her lectures are NOT informative, the book will teach you more than her. Her broken English makes it difficult to explain anything to her. Very disorganized, kind of rude, she isnt respected, to be honest she just needs to quit. She doesnt have the heart of a teacher just that of someone who needs a part time job. You wont learn anything.
Major unorganized mess. Attendance IS mandatory to get the password for the pop quizzes she gives at the end of class. She doesn't give direct answers to students questions, and OFTEN changes deadlines WITHOUT telling students. Everyone was confused about the final project since her instructions were useless. DON'T listen to the positive reviews
I love this class because I learned a lot about construction and drawings. Professor Lyon is very organize and clear with projects and instructions in her class. She is helping her students to find a job because she is pushing us to find a job in construction ASAP. You can pass this course with good grade if you study and work in your assignments.
HCC Online Course -Unorganized structure -Lecture never matched what we were learning in the book -Zero response through email or other forms -Quizzes sometimes didn't match book -Had a second 8 week class with her, dropped it to get away! Take a different professor if you want cut and clear instructions, because you will not get it out of her.
Do not take this class with this professor, she is extremely unorganized and rude. If you value your grade and want to learn, do not take this class! I cannot stress enough on how you should not take this class!! She made my entire class suffer with not explaining anything and expecting pristine work when she did not want to help or explain!
Do the right thing. DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR. DO NOT listen to the positive reviews. I took this class online and while we did meet once a week, you will not learn a single thing. She spent the first hour of the first class going over which ruler to get (which you won' use). She does pop quizzes at the end of every class. She doesn't know anythin
OMG avoid her at all cost , cannot stay on topic and yells at you for not understanding .She made this class so difficult to follow with her lectures and directions. This rating on here is false and inaccurate.
DO NOT TAKE HER. It is an easy class, but you WON'T learn anything. She goes off topic a lot, makes you buy some rules that we never even use. The projects that we have, she does not explain anything properly. And when we ask her for something, she answers everything but THAT.
The class CNST 1330 that I took is easy but the professor makes it very tough to learn. Her classes are porject and quiz heavy. The professor gets very side tracked from what she's teaching, the professor does not go in detail for anything she's teaching rather she tries to take up all three hours of the class with off topic conversation.
Professor was very unorganized from the beginning of the semester, her quizzes had wrong answers, midterm was hard even after she did not teach just talked from slides. Final project was a mess, instructions were unclear she did not talk about the project until a day before it was due.
Exciting class and we have a lot of topics to learn about construction, drawings, and projects. Professor Lyon has experience and knowledge to share. She is my mentor !!!
Very disorganized and frankly all over the place in lectures, assignments, and project help. The first project was so confusing solely because of her lack of help. Textbook is necessary for the blueprint drawings but other than that is is useless. Class is fairly easy though, but would not recommend.
Professor Lyon knows very well about technical subjects and has a lot of experience in projects, construction, and blueprints. She transmits her knowledge efficiently and is flexible, but she is also strict. If the student attends the class, takes tests and homework to get a good grade, and learns many topics to work successfully in construction.
I learned a lot about construction and also about plans and scales. Professor Lyon makes a good team with her class, she has organized the class in BB and adjusts the calendars according to the exercises. She teaches very well and clearly explains the concepts but the student must read and study as well as practice in CAD to ask questions.
I've never taken a class with a professor so belittling and humiliating to all her students. She is utterly unclear and unorganized at the best of times. Many group projects with unclear objectives and extremely harsh feedback. Class schedule is completely unhelpful; book is necessary for quizzes but useless for lectures. Avoid at any and all cost.
Professor Lyon has a lot of construction knowledge and experience in different subjects that many other teachers don't have. She is a strict woman but teaches with enthusiasm and dedication. All assignments, tests, and volunteer projects are on the schedule and on the class webpage. I should have read the book and studied the plans to learn more.
All of these reviews must be fake. I learned absolutely nothing in this class. There is no set schedule as she does not follow the one she made. All of the assignments had really unclear instructions and she would not help us better understand how to do the assignments. Worse class I have taken so far. Complete waste of time but I got the credit
The most unorganized class I have been in, I've seen high school subs have better curriculum for the day. She is always off-topic, makes things unnecarily hard to understand, doesn't explain anything about the projects and just doesn't get through well to her students in general, try to avoid at all costs for your sake!!!
all the good ratings are fake, everything is very confusing in her class and when asked to clarify she doesn't explain anything or doesn't understand the questions. she is a good person and looks like she knows everything she talks about but she doesn't have the heart of a teacher. required text book is like 300
All the good reviews are fake. The professor is ALWAYS off topic, doesn't answer emails, unorganized, unclear about instructions, and I do not recommend. You'd learn as much as you would on a 10 minute Youtube video on how to read prints.
I wouldn't recommend taking this class. I'll file a proper complaint against her. Obviously, her language barrier is a challenge for us as students but besides that, she's rude and make fun of the students. The most important grades were group assignments. The instructions were not clear, the grades do not make sense. Doesn't reply to emails.
All good rates must be fake. There is a groupme chat and everyone complains about her. Very unprofessional, doesnt reply emails, language barrier, doesnt listen, told us about her life 50% of the class. She didnt cover all the topics from syllabus. Dropped 7 quizzes due in 2 days. Asked questions in the quizzes that never discuss during class
This is a class that evolves boring lectures, off topic learning, and a whole lot of reading and quizzes. Though the class is called Graphics I, which I am sure people will expect to learn about AutoCAD etc. This is not the case. You will be reading about materials and how they function. I do not recommend anyone to take Professor Eva Lyon.
I do not recommend anyone to take CNST 1330 with Professor Eva Lyon. Her class involves boring lectures, off topic lectures, excessive amount of reading, and random pop quiz questions you haven't even learned that will take a beating off your grade. I am saying this again, DO NOT TAKE CNST 1330 WTH PROFESSOR EVA LYON!
Don't take this class at all, all her 5 star reviews are fake ! This professor made me reconsider my major because she is so bad; she doesn't teach anything at all and does not help when we ask questions. Be ready to be in the class for the full 3 hours.
Suggest steering clear of the inexperienced CNBT 1311 professor. With disorganized Canvas pages and excessive readings for quizzes, the focus seems on memorization, not practical skills. Seek a more enriching learning experience elsewhere.
CNST3331 Literally DO NOT TAKE HER. UH changed my prof. a week before school and I was stuck with her. She does not care about the students at all. You ask her a question and she will basically ignore you. She doesn't respond to emails. SHE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT SHE'S TALKING ABOUT FR! Hated every second of this class. I wish I could get my money back.
Professor Lyon is approachable, loves sharing her vast experience, and always encourages her students to learn, grow, and seek new challenges. I participated in her class and studied her practical material, which I can apply in my work in construction. Lyon is my mentor and prepares us to open doors and solve problems with professional judgment.
Professor Lyon's class is a mixed bag - she has great construction knowledge, but struggles with organization and communication. Using Unstuck study and the free textbook helped me stay on top of things.
Professor Lyon is a good instructor & example for other immigrant women who work very hard in construction. She has a lot of experience in many areas of design /construction & that allows her to convey confidence in her class. She is strict but at the same time flexible & emphasizes the concepts that must be applied in the work of PM scheduling.
Professor lyon was all over the place. She was not helpful and would continuously go off topic. I feel like I have learned more teaching myself than listening to her lectures.
Really bad professor. Personal/Group P6 project had no insight whatsoever. Comments she leaves on submissions are the same as everyone else, meaning that most of the things she claims were missing were in fact in the submission. Don't bother emailing about your project grades either, she will not answer. Was lucky to finish this class with an A.
