I have learned alot from her classes. Her classes move slow and shes willing to an questions. As long as you come to class and spend some time on the projects you'll do good.If you you don't know much about computers you should start with M20.

If you go to class, you shouldn't have a problem figuring out what to do. You must be on the ball with your projects, and you need to know how to use a mac because it's done on macs. It's a challenging class, but if you are willing to work you will learn.

Great teacher!

Good teacher, does move kind of fast for beginners. If you have experience it shouldn't be that bad. I learned more from the other students in the class than from her though. Over all it is a very good learning experience.

I enjoy everything in her classes: teamwork, challenge, l and that she cares for every student. My favorite teacher.

People who say they don't like her probably didn't take the time to make sure they understood the assignments or they didn't ask for help. She is a very good teacher. No question. I am going to take web design with her next year. One warning...she does go fast if you are slow with computers, but if you understand the basics you will be fine.

Very helpful and very industry knowledgeable. If there's one class you have to take, take it with this professor. She seems hard,but she's very understanding and very fair.

I enjoy Svetlana's classes very much. She taught me stuff I thought I could never learn. In seven months I learned so much.

I recommend her to everyone. I took ALL of her classes and absolutely LOVE them.

I LOVE her class. She is a terrific teacher, and presents great projects for us.

Easy, fun assignments. Good knowledge. helpful. But usually showed up to class late. If you miss a class its usually kind of hard to catch up.

very cool.....learned photoshop, illustrator, dreamweaver and flash in one class

this has been the best class of my time at MC.

You will learn more from this professor from any other. Just don't be late or skip class. She will help you choose your path and your major. If you care about graphics and multimedia she will love you.

AWSOME PROFESSOR

she makes you think about things, and she has an extensive knowledge of contemporary designers that she will use as reference for her assignments.

She is very helpful, knows her stuff. Try not to miss more than 5 days of class. Some of the projects were kind of strange, overall a good class.

she definitely knows what she's talking about. Shes smart, caring, disciplined and one of the teachers I won't forget. I made my best projects in her class.

fun, knowledgeable

not bad class at all

Fun and easy class. Funny and helpful instructor.

Great teacher. My first online class, but I felt like I was in the classroom. She encourages (and gets) a lot of class participation. She forces you to think what makes a good design and how to know if you have one.

Great class, eye opening and interesting. Highly recommended.

If you are a dedicated student, you will learn more than from any other teacher...

IGETC class. Deep. Makes you think (too hard)

Because of this class I have switched my major to graphics.

Awesome teacher. She's very nice and helpful. Important to show up. Will give extra credit. I had a blast in this class and learned a lot. TAKE HER!

I learned a lot in this class by following the lectures and the assignments.

She is a really good teacher because she doesn't give you the answer straight away. She wants her students to learn so she has them search for answers. She helps, but in a way that you are still learning and the design is still your design

Svetlana is the most thorough teacher I have had at MC. She can come off as harsh to some students, but that's because she cares, and you are disrespecting her 9by not showing to class, not doing your homework or not paying attention). She makes herself available whenever you ask for help.

Fantastic teacher. She gives so many tips and techniques in her design class and gives a lot of freedom to do the designs you really want to do.

Grade broken down: 30% attendance 40% tests 30% projects. The class is focused on discussion modules she writes, no textbook required. Working with Illustrator sucked and she wasn't too accessible for help, but she graded very leniently and offered extra credit! Lots of cool group discussion. Great class, great teacher!

I TOOK SEVERAL OF THE CLASSES SVETLANA OFFERED OVER THE YEARS. SHE IS AN EXCELLENT TEACHER WITH A FLEXIBLE MIND. SHE HELPED ME TRANSFER TO CAL POLY. HER WORK IS DEFINITELY WORTH CHECKING OUT.

Took her for GR M10 and M27. Great! Very knowledgeable. Very helpful. A little tough on you but it's because she wants you to succeed. Don't miss a class.

Great teacher. Knowledgeable, fun, helpful, always pushing you to do your best. Critiques are tough yet she comes up with jokes to lighten the mood.

fair teacher, fair grader. very fast pace class. but she is willing to help if you ask her.

GREAT TEACHER. VERY HELPFUL. WALKING WIKIPEDIA.

This was a good class, I learned CS5 and enjoued it very much.

Super easy, loved her!

Very interesting class. Very knowledgeable and entertaining teacher. All you need to do is read the modules, answer 5 questions each week and participate in the class discussions. There are two open book quizzes. Easy and fun A.

She is an awesome teacher. She really knows the world of design and she's extremely intelligent. She cares about her students and will give you extra help if you just ask. Go to every class and you won't miss anything

She is always willing to meet for clarification and help, and truly understand your problem and assist you whether you need a doctor,a design tutor, a writing tutor or career planning help. She is one of those rare professors that can change your life.

Not an easy class, people complaining were probably lazy and didnt do the assignments. Overall class was 100 points? She gave us an extra credit project of 30 points, 4 people did it, and those 4 people got an A. Everyone in the class had the opportunity, just didn't put in the effort. Had to work for the A

Svetlana is one of my favorite professors at Moorpark College. She truly cares about the success of her students and she always makes it a point to tell us about internship and job opportunities and design contests. She's really enthusiastic about the material and you can use a lot of her assignments for your portfolio.

I am **terrible** with computers so this class was very hard for me. Luckily her expectations are very low! As long as you do the assignment, it doesnt have to be amazing. I earned a B and my final grade was a 99 after I turned in my extra credit. If you try, youll do fine! But if you dont participate youll suffer. She loves students who try!

Svetlana's classes are hard but once you get the hang of the software you should be okay. She's quick to email back generally (1-2 days) so use the email more than the discussion page for any help you need. Your classmates also can help out.

Took her 4-week online summer course, and I had to work for my A. Post discussion posts early as she will comment on them and you can reply to her questions before she grades the assignment to earn a better score. Use a lot of photos in discussion posts, and check the discussion board to reply to students who comment. One midterm and one final.

I decided to get into graphic design after taking her Design and Society class. She helped me understand that design is everything. She makes you work for your grade, but she gives great feedback. She encourages her students to lead discussions and to present their own opinions. She is a great mentor, always there for you.

This was my first time taking a month long class and while the material was a lot to learn in such a short time, I am very proud I was able to raise to the challenge. Svetlana is a great teacher. I enjoyed going through this journey with her and the other students. I am fascinated by all the material Svetlana included In this class.

Svetlana is by far the best teacher in the design Dept. If you do your work with passion and are interested in design she will go out of her way to help you. if you have no drive and skip work you will fall behind. She is truly an incredible resource for young designers.

I've taken four classes with Prof Kasalovic. I learned how to design and how to use the entire Adobe CC. She is always available for extra help if you ask for it. Really knowledgeable, very knowledgeable, and an amazing mentor.

I took the class during the COVID 2020 summer, so the online class was very easy. As long as you respond to other students discussions and engage in the class (check it like 4 times a week), you are all good. Easy assignment. Very fun and interesting if you like design.

Her classes make you a better designer. You have to be ready to refine you work. I made so much progress following her instructions and critiques. Great teacher.

Literally all my classes have been with Professor Svetlana since I started Graphic Design. She is tough but for good reason, she really wants to bring out the true potential in students & she is because it prepares us for the real design world. If you're used to things sugar coated for you, this isn't the professor for you. Find someone easier.

This is a great class if you want to develop a design portfolio, but be aware that you will be challenged to expand your current skill level and refine your projects! Projects are very interesting. Take this class if you are a design major and if you already took GR M30. I left this class with some suprisingly good design work.
