I really REALLY hated this teacher. She is VERY inflexible so if you can't make it on a test day you're screwed. She makes the entire class sit in a huge circle everyday and expect group exercises every class period. SHE DOES NOT REVIEW FOR TESTS!!! If you have a large vocabulary don't use it on test essays or she'll dock you. Weird I know.

I have to defend Bagnole a bit, because even though her lack of lecture capability got in the way of learning a bit, she's a very nice woman. It was not impossible to achieve a A-B. Her tests are a little tricky, but honestly she quite enjoys teaching and started introducing interactive concepts with my class that helped it along.

Treats students like they are in high school; pushing incessant and useless group work in class among many others. Course was an extreme waste of time, especially on the art notebook where half your grade is how much money you spend on the quality of the book.

Seems like she's bitter that she was never a studio prof, because she forces students to be "creative" in the journal required in the class, and downgrades if it isn't quite what she is looking for. She is very unclear and even DOWNGRADES you if you use a good vocabulary in her essays because she doesn't understand English properly. Avoid.

This woman should not be teaching. The essays are impossible. The prompts are confusing and you have to memorize them before the in-class test essays. You'll end up studying the prompt harder than the actual information. You're also expected to memorize the bibliography for the textbook for some odd reason. Absolutely awful.

And when she's answering questions, she literally doesn't answer what your asking and just goes off topic onto something completely non-relevant. PART 1
