This class is a blast! Sister Nielson brnigs so much ebergy to the class, but beware, you might fall asleep during the slids shown about everyday. Tests are long and a lot of material, but not impossible..

It's so fun to listen to Sis. Nielson talk, she brings great energy and excitement to the class. The class is usually mostly girls, so consider that, but the tests aren't bad, and I learned so much. I also fell asleep during the slides!

Karla is so awesome. The only reason you might fall asleep is the slides she shows at the end of class, but this class is SO great and easy too. You learn so much, but she tells you everything on the tests so you know what to study. AWESOME CLASS!

This was the most boring class I have EVER taken! Those slides are enough to kill anyone! Super easy class though. I suggest taking it if you want to finish Arts and Letters and easily as possible, but not if you're trying to learn ANYTHING!!

Absolutely loved it! Lots of pictures to memorize and DON'T put off the HUGE project.

Don't go into class thinking it is an easy A. You actually have to study for the tests because they aren't easy. But the material is usually fun to study, and if you take the time, you can ace them. She is always incorporating the Gospel into her lectures and is an am amazing teacher!

I really liked this class but I am also really into this subject. I will admit it isn't a slacker class. There is a lot of memorization. If you study hard you will get a good grade. She isn't afraid to give the A's out but only to the deserving students. She talks fast--go to class & pay attention.

This is not a class where you can slack off and still do well. Sister Nielson tells you what's going to be on the test (vocab,illustrations of furniture, time periods etc). The tests are really long(120+ questions)but if you study and MEMORIZE, you can pull it off. Lectures are mundane, but she tries to keep you awake by being an animated speaker

I loved this class and I liked that everything would be related to the gospel! There are asignments for each class, but I never spent over an hour on them. The tests aren't too bad, but you have to study for them. I think it would've been easier to study if I had read the chapters like I was supposed to ; ) I definitely recommend this class!

Overall, if you like to learn about interiors and find it interesting you'll like it. But she doesn't cover much class. She'll say things like you'll need to read this section and this section and then show you slides. A LOT of memorization, but worth it if you want or need to know those types of things.

Take this class ONLY if you have a real interest in interior design!!! I loved it! I think Sister Nielson did a great job. I learned so much from the book and slides. Lecture can be a little tedious sometimes, but she tells you exactly what you need to know for the tests so listening is important.

Karla is awesome if you're humble enough to eat what she says. She cares about the students just as much as she cares about interior design. Wisdom coming out of her ears and success up the wazoo. Honestly, a very difficult, memorization based class, but totally worth it if you can see over the grade and the tests.

What everyone else has said is pretty true about this class and Sister Nielson. I kind of wish I would have listened and taken the class from someone else. Good luck!

She is awesome. Sometimes its like drinking from a fire hose, but its great. I think that all the lame students that rate her so bad are the lazy ones that took the class hoping for an easy A without learning anything.

Favorite teacher at BYU. Class takes some time and work, but we are in college and I would still consider her classes way easier than some of my other college classes. Take 230 during a term a lot less random quotes, that is also when she recommends you take it. Small class makes it nice. She talks fast, but she tells you what you need to know.

Excellent teacher with a great deal of passion for her area. She knows what she is talking about! She is always willing to help students in any way she can. The class is exciting, fun, and applicable and the work is fair. Exams are difficult but straightforward and she reviews everything you need to know. Everyone who rated her poorly was probably looking for an easy A and didn't put forth any effort.

Thoughtful, caring, knowledgeable and interesting teacher. I recommend this class. Great illustrations, all really apply to life.

Sister Nielson is a wonderful teacher. Her intro interior design class was extremely informative. The housing the family class was just incredible. She showed me what provident living is and that it is truly possible to have a handsome, but modest home. She inspired me and helped me personally. Listening to her speak was a real treat. Thank you.

Sister Nielson is a wonderful professor who allows the students to run a big part of this class. She mostly offers guidance and direction and lets the students take it from there. The weekly assignments can be a bit time consuming, but are easy to complete. Test questions come directly from the book. The spirit was always brought into the lessons.

Sister Nielson is awesome. Her class is challenging, but she offers more than enough help and individual attention. If you attend class and pay attention, you're sure to get a good grade. She's a wealth of information, and her class discussions are fun and informative. Student participation is huge, and it helps you understand the material.

Fair grading; clear assignments that are simple but take time; expensive textbook; tests are based on textbook but that's the only time we use it; information is useful; class is mainly females (and so as a female I very much enjoyed it)

Sister Nielson is an amazing and inspiring woman. I would recommend Intro to Interiors and Housing the Family to everyone. While her classes are both fun and interesting, like any college class they do require a little bit of time and effort. However, she is always willing to meet with students to answer questions and help with class assignments

I'm sorry to see poor ratings here because I think Sis. Nielson was a great teacher. She was helpful and told you what you could expect on tests. The tests were not easy but oh-so-doable. Mostly because the material is so easy to learn. She was fun and inspiring and wanted all her students to succeed. GREAT teacher. Take her!

Great teacher! Very helpful and encourages class participation. Very personable.

Loved her class, it turned out to be my favorite.

I really liked this class. It was pretty hard, but if you did your work and paid attention, it was much easier. She was always willing to help, and I enjoyed her stories.

People who gave Sister Nielson a bad rating are just plain mean. She's a good teacher. She tells you exactly what's going to be on the tests and gives you reviews also. You have an assignment a week, but they aren't hard. The tests aren't short, but if you read the book you'll make a good grade. She has a passion for the subject, and really cares.

Sister Nielson is awesome! She does talk fast, but you get used to it in a class or two. The tests are really long, but they're multiple choice, so if you study what she tells you to, you'll do just fine. She knows her stuff and really cares about her students, and thanks to her, I have grown to love Interior Design! Take this class from her!

She is AWESOME!! She is lively, keeps the class interesting, is extremely knowledgable and makes the class fun with funky pictures and fabulous stories! TAKE HER! You won't regret it

Sister Nielson is an amazing professor. Her class was challenging, but very worthwhile. Going to class every day was beneficial and interesting. Sister Nielson did an amazing jot at teaching by the Spirit. I loved her as a Professor, and I would highly recommend her as a professor, and her class to anyone and everyone!!!

Sister Nielson was an amazing teacher! I learned so much and find myself using what she taught day to day. She truly knows how to bring the spirit into class. She also shows that a home that fits you is achievable! I recommend this class!

After reading some of the reviews I was nervous to take this class but it turned out to be my favorite! Sis Nielson is the nicest person ever. She might be 'crazy' but she makes class hilarious and fun. The test aren't hard bc she tells you what to u need to know. There is extra credit if needed.

Take 102 from this professor! This woman is incredible. I learned more in this class than any other class at BYU. She is such a sweet lady and she genuinely cares about her students. She is fun to listen to and she has an incredible enthusiasm for the subject. I felt the spirit in this class multiple times. She is an excellent & magnificent teacher

Sister Nielson is an amazing professor. She has such a passion for interior design and truly wants the best for her students. She brings such an incredible energy to the class. Honestly though, this class was much harder than I had expected. The tests are about 120-160 questions, and it's straight memorization from the book.

I loved this class!! It's one my favorite classes I've taken at BYU. Sister Nielson brings such passion to her work, and she's brillant! Always brings the spirit into the lectures. Definitely go to class and take your book! She tells you everything you need to know for the tests. Flash cards are a must! LOVED this class :D

loved her and the class, I would glady take all of her classes.

This class was one of the best I've taken at BYU. Sister Nielson has so much interest in her students and her subject matter. She teaches with the Spirit and wants us to really learn. Assignments are fun and if you study hard for the tests you will do fine. I would gladly recommend Sister Nielson to anyone!

Sister Nielson is an amazing teacher. Although there is a LOT of information to be memorized in the class, her passion for interior design makes it interesting. I learned many day-to-day principles in her class and would recommend this class to anyone!

Sister Nielson is probably the best professor I've had at BYU. She is honestly one of the smartest people I know, she knows SOOO much about Interior Design. I loved this class. Anyone who disagrees is crazy. If you are a good memorizer you will do great on the tests. Take this class!

Sister Nielson has been my inspiration at BYU. She loves what she teaches and she teaches with passion. She tells you exactly what you need to study for the tests and if you are willing to do the work you will get the results you want. She is such a sweetheart and I have loved taking her classes.

This was such a good class and Professor Nielson is amazing! She can do anything and she is always there to help you with assignments or with anything else. The assignments are fun, but can be time consuming. You won't regret taking a class from her!

Sis Nielson is awesome! Class discussions are not only informative but inspirational. Although her syllabus is organized, her exams need revision because they were sometimes confusing and the answers were arguable. But she is so invested in her students that she will do anything to help you prepare. The class was so practical and was a blast!

I really loved this class. I learned a lot form prof. Nielsen. The tests are long, but if you study they aren't bad. She gives really good reviews. Most of her test questions come from the book. She is one of the most interesting and fun teachers I have had at BYU. I looked forward to her class every time.

I really enjoyed this course. This may be in part because I really liked interior design to begin with. Sis. Nielson knows so much and shares so much that it can be a bit overwhelming at times.Still, I found class to be usually enjoyable. Tests are extremely predictable and easy if you carefully read the study guides and the book.

Great professor, so down to earth and loves life and families! She is difficult in that they questions on tests range from 130-165. Buy the textbook! It is your saving grace. Study it like the back of your hand. Go to class it is helpful to hear her lectures. And I mean "hear" them, but take simple notes. Great teacher! Loved her class!
