Awesome teacher! He's very good at what he does and is willing to help.

Slightly monotonous class, tests easy enough. Quizzes every so often. Provides notes. Easy enough!

Pay attention in class and you won't have to keep asking the GA's for help! More than just computer work, though

Great teacher. Makes class fun and interesting (go on a campus treasure hunt for extra credit during a class). A lot of answers on test come from class.

great teacher who is willing to help, the class is very easy, you just have to go and take notes. tests are straight forward and quizes are very easy.

Very interesting/entertaining class. He offers a lot of extra credit SO DONT PASS IT UP...You will need it on the exams! Pay attention in class, and never skip, he takes attendance pretty regularly. Lots of games and guest speakers to break the monotony.

You'd think it be easy but it isnt. He's a nice guy but his tests are really hard with trick questions. Go to class because the book doesn't help!

Yeah...his tests ain't no joke! And neither is his attendance policy. He may not make mention of it during the semester, but if you miss more than 3 classes, he will take 3 points off your final grade. It can hurt you. Go to class and take GOOD notes.

For people that have little no graphics experience, this is a good class. But if you're a graphic design minor like me, don't expect it to be incredibly challenging. You'll learn some history stuff you might not have known about, but the class teaches really basic stuff on Quark and Photoshop.

makes the very interesting and fun. Can be comical at times. tests are so stupid, they will make you real mad because of the minor details he includes. but i would take him again if i had to because he is so interesting.

He is a great teacher with lots of fun stories. It's important to go to class, he takes attendance. The tests are challenging but you learn a lot, I reccomend this taking this class if you are a journalism or mass comm major

He's really random and quirkey, but it makes class more interesting. Tests aren't to bad--he gives you a study guide. Make sure you don't miss more than 3 classes, and read the material and you should do fine.

Nice guy, Class is not so exciting, but it's not hard to make an A in here, Go to class, and study the notes he puts online & you'll be fine. Quark assignments are time consuming but easy to do and boost your grade.

Interesting class. Fun. Different. He's very approachable outside of class. Offers extra credit. Doing it will help your grade. You have to study for this class, but at least he's interesting. Wish the class was smaller.

If you fail this class you can blame yourself. He is tuff on grading, but pay attention in class, & take notes, & you will learn alot. He even posts all notes on BB. The hardest part about Quark assignments is getting to the lab. He uses cool examples & holds your attention. I highly recommend

Not a hard class at all, just study thoroughly for the exams. Quark assignments are pretty easy, just don't put them off til the last minute. Overall, the class is at least an easy B if you try.

He was great! Get on his good side, and you'll be a-ok!

He is fairly entertaining in class, but its almost impossible to retain any knowledge from what he teaches. Write down his every word, and read it like the bible and you'll do fine on his test. The book is horrible, it doesn't follow his course material at all. The quark stuff will save your grade though.

Nice guy. Will help you if you talk to him. Tests are challenging, but passable if you act like a college student and come to class. Quark is a pest at first, but with practice you'll get better. BE CREATIVE! It counts.

Not a terribly difficult class, having had prior experience with quark and imovie. Class holds your interest for the most part. Prof is funny but not when you're the one being picked on. My biggest qualm- he is impossible to get in touch with outside of class.

Easy easy class the test are common sense and if you have any taste you'll done fine on the homework. If you don't make an A in this class then you should rethink college ha

Good Teacher but sometimes goes over material too quickly and is hard to follow. A lot of time out of class is required and can be a harsh grader at times.

Took his summer session and it wasn't too difficult of a class. Very laid back compared to the regular fall/spring classes, especially with only about 12 students in my section. Allowed a few absences but you'd miss a lot since it was only a month long. All in all, I'd recommend for the summer only. FYI, he kind of looks like Woody Harrelson.

Kornegay has an eye for minute details and his grading reflects that. You must strive for perfection to do well. Doing the assignment just to complete it will not work. Wish he gave a bit more feedback and sometimes seems like he is not having the best day but he is a great professor. Highly recommended.

I loved this class. He grades super hard but its just cause he wants you to do youre best. Dont expect to slack off and get an A. he goes through every program in detail and really knows his stuff. fav vis comm teacher so far.

Yes his grading is relatively hard, but if you enjoy desiging it should be a hard class for you. I learned a lot from him. And if you want someone who knows what they are talking about and helpful feedback take him. You just have to ask for feedback.

If you take this class, be ready to use a program called InDesign. I had never heard of this program before this class and struggled with it. You will have 6 projects which account for 40% of your grade. However, if you are good with that type of program you will be fine. Prof Kornegay is good. I disliked the class, but the teacher was very good.

This class isn't bad at all. He tells you exactly what you need to know for the tests. Getting InDesign is kind of a hassle, but the labs aren't bad at all and he gives you tons of pointers on how to do them. MAKE SURE TO FOLLOW THE GUIDELINES IN THE LAB BOOK! He takes off 5 points for every mistake. The group video project sucks.

Professor Kornegay will help you on anything. He wants you to be prepared to leave the university and find a job. Best professor I've had in the journalism school.

VAN THE MAN!!!!!!! For real he rocks he's a great prof you will learn SO MUCH INFORMATION. But, because of that you can't skip a single class or you'll be behind. Your grade really depends on how creative you are too. But yeah went in knowing nothing about AI PS and now I feel confident in the field.

I love Kornegay. He's a good professor and an even better person. You can tell he loves the field and has a lot of great stories and experience to show for it. You won't learn too much in programs because it's an intro class. It's useful for learning the basics of HTML and InDesign. You will learn many important concepts in an understandable way.

I honestly don't know why these reviews are so negative, Professor Kornegay is one of the funniest professors I've had and he knows so much about everything to do with visual communications. The labs were very easy and straight forward because he tells you exactly how to do them. The tests were straight up, if you go to class they are very easy.

Even though he doesn't take attendance if you want to pass you need to go and take notes. The exams are online and taken in class using your own laptops so make of that what you will... I don't know why he's graded so harshly on this site, I love him and he's very straight-forward about what to expect and how to do assignments. Definitely recommend

Kornegay is awesome! By far the most experienced and knowledgeable in the field, my favorite professor at USC. Super helpful if you ask for it, has really cool stories from working in the field, and got some great guest speakers.

He's great. Come to class, take notes and follow the instructions exactly with the labs. You can tell he's very passionate about vis comm and I thought his lectures were interesting. The tests can cover a lot of material but very few questions.

2 tests and a final and 2 assignments. Tests are easy if you take notes from the lecture videos and read all the articles. My laptop crashed midway through one of the exams and he reopened the test for me a day later to finish. He's very nice and very helpful. If you need this class for Journalism or Carolina Core I would definitely recommend him.

He knows his stuff and grades fairly! He does walkthroughs in class, so don't skip. You'll have to make up the assignments on your own if you skip, but he's willing to explain it if you ask. The 3 projects aren't bad, but you should put the effort in! The skills tests aren't hard if you pay attention in class. Just go to class and you'll be fine.

I love Kornegay, and you can tell he's passionate about viscomm. He's got some really cool stories too which keeps class interesting and fun. He does grade pretty harshly, so make sure you do the Indesign Labs thoroughly and do not wait until the last minute to do them. Tests also can be difficult, but go to class and study and you'll be fine.

Kornegay is such an awesome teacher! The class was super easy but I still learned a ton. If you pay attention in the class and take notes, you should be good on tests. He makes his lectures interesting. Would highly recommend.

Nice guy, understanding if you communicate. Semi-tough grader but if you do what you're supposed to do, you'll get a good grade. Clear with grading criteria during hands-on project lectures IN CLASS but doesn't upload assignment descriptions on blackboard so being in class is 100% necessary. Just show up, ask questions and you'll do good

He is a great teacher! If you go to class and show you care, you will do great. Very undestanding and gives group projects which I really liked. Would 100% recommend, one of my favorite teachers here.
