A nice lady, but not very educated in the Computer Arts field. The classes were more of self taught classes and more likely than not you turn to other students for help. I learned a lot, but not from her. If you want an easy class, just for the credits, this is a great one. But if you came to really learn a lot, you'd be better off buying an illustrator or photoshop book on your own to figure it out.

Nice, but knows nothing about the software or even Windows. Explanations hard to follow, just work from the 3 books. If u have some CG experience, easy A. If not, u may be lost.
