Sachel is a Good Teacher; if you don't frustrate him. He honestly takes his frustrations out on his students and does way too much wasting time Especially with useless group work. But! He is crystal clear and very helpful; Sachel really cares about his students even though he is unorganized. but hey; it's his first year back at BSU.

This course structure was poorly planned out. Spent the first month and a half reviewing fundamentals of design. Packed 4 projects into the last half. Sachel is often rude to students. He often does not give (clear) feedback in a timely manner so there is no way to improve during the class.

It was easy to tell that he was passionate about exhibit/tradeshow, but the class was poorly executed and badly timed. He often made unprofessional comments and seemed as though he was trying to hard to be 'a friend' rather than a professor. Had favorite students and often held his 'power' over peoples' heads. My least favorite design professor.

Its evident Sachel cares about his students. He has a lot of passion for his industry and education. The curriculums for each exhibit Class are non existent. We get thrown into designing tradeshows without understanding what they are. There arent lectures teaching you the different aspects in a tradeshow exhibit design. You just have to guess.

Sachel is a kind and caring professor that treats you like a person rather than just a student. His class is designed to give back what you put into it. The assignments are individual or group projects that push your own creative limits and put his lectures into action. It proves the concepts that he is trying to teach.

This class is all about learning how to make money as a maker. I believe this professor communicated that well to us in this class through guest speakers discussing their work as a maker from art fairs to exhibit design. The hustle project in the class makes students go outside of their comfort zone and create works or art for profit.

Satchel does a great job visualizing things he teaches, even if sometimes hard to understand at first, it makes a lot of sense the more he talks about the subject. The classes he teach are always a favorite of my semester or module and I'm excited to take more with him!

I think Sachel is one of the best teachers I've ever had, and I know he'll be even better in my more advanced classes. He encourages critical thinking, and is just a fun guy! Since it was his first time teaching this class when I took it, it was a little all over the place, but I think things will be improved later on. I think I learned a lot!

The class itself is interesting but because of the poor communication and lack of clarity, the class is hard to follow and leads to lots of confusion.

Sachel Josefson is knowledgeable and passionate about his work. While he may struggle with concise communication, he is always ready to answer any questions. He has big ideas and a great love for his teaching and students. If you put in the time, your grade will reflect that; however, he is a very generous grader!

This is a tough class to grade. Either the work is really easy or really hard. There are many extensive projects that are done completely on your own time (60+ hours per semester) and in class is largely lecture. Expectations change all the time which makes planning stressful. The professor clearly cares a lot about students and is pretty flexible.

I felt the class time was not spent appropriately. 100% of our work had to be done independently, so I felt like it was basically an online class, and going to class was just extra work.

This class is good if you are an artist. Do not take this class for the history credit. Extremely work heavy. The work itself isn't bad if you have good time management. However, this professor picks favorites and is extremely condescending to those he doesn't like.

This professor has a difficult time staying on topic and controlling the classroom. He has unrealistic expectations on how the time spent listening to assigned readings, videos, podcasts, etc really add up. Minimal if any feedback on projects. Too much time spent on his personal life

In the course we had to do three big projects. Then we had a final. Which we didn't know about until halfway through the class. And on the day of we still did know what to expect from the final.

Sachel can be confusing at times, but is very helpful and clear when you ask questions. He encourages students to participate and ask questions. Overall solid professor just ask lots of questions and clarify assignments requirements with him.

Communication struggles and slight consistency struggles, but is always around to ask questions and help as best he can. Also gives partial power to the students to chose how assignments operate.
