William was a pleasure to have in class. He was always cheerful and passionate about the subject. I loved every minute!
William is the coolest teacher ever.... what teacher would ever allow himself to be the fashion faux pas of the week!!!! You rock Mr. Perrine!!!
He was a great teacher
We hardly did anything in this class... we had a few projects which were not hard! The worksheets we did were a joke! Either they were extremely easy or they were so hard and confusing that we didn't know what to do.... it's not Perrine's fault! He did not make the worksheets! Don't take the class with Stanforth!
Great teacher! Learn alot and makes class fun!
Perrine is good people. Clearly shows a passion for teaching...even though stories get old fast, they're usually a nice break from whatever you're supposed to be learning....I'd take him again.
Easy class. Funny teacher. Useful information provided. I hope I get William again!
amazing teacher! can't be beat!!
Very educated within the industry which helped enforce the material. He is well cultured and told some great stories. Take him if you can!
Awesome teacher. Keeps students interested in the class material. Is always willing to help students. Has great stories and a wonderful personality.
Awesome guy very down to earth!!
This class was easy and fun at the same time. Perrine is funny and even tried to make us laugh at 9:15 in the morning, sometimes it worked. :) This stories from the industry were interesting and informative. He knows what he is talking about. I hope to have him again. Show up to class, do the worksheets, & you will be fine!DO NOT BUY THE BOOK!!
William is a wonderful guy and he just wants to get the class interested in what he is teaching about, and not just to know it all by heart for tests and whatnot.
Loved this class! Very easy and not very much homework. Would definately recommend this guy and I hope to have him again!
Really cool guy, teaches well without being anal about rules. Cares about students.
Great Teacher!!! Super funny and easy going...cares about students...I learned a lot from the class too.
This class was very cool. He encouraged us to use what he taught us in class, and apply it to our everyday lifestyle. He also gave us the tools and information to help Fair Trade move in the right direction! Lets do the right thing! Rock on!
he is easy to talk to, and treats me as an equal. i really enjoyed his class and stories.
Great teacher, very helpful and informative.
Very easy to talk to and very understanding. Makes class interesting. Nice guy on top of everything else.
Has some interesting stories! Uses knowledge of the field to help teach. (For example: showed us planograms for Sears' stores for us to see how many different things are considered when laying out a store.) Puts notes on power points so you really don't need a book. Goes over worksheets in class to make sure everybody understands-Excellent teacher!
He teaches Buying and planning for juniors and he is an amazing teacher. He has so much experience in retailing that he is able to share his experienes with you in class. He is by far the best teacher I have had while at the fashion school. I would defently recommend having him as a teacher sometime in your life.
EASY CLASS. LECTURES BORING. FUNNY STORIES ARE THE CENTER OF THE COURSE
Awsome Prof! If I could take all of my fashion classes from him I would! Little side stories make the class!
AWESOME CLASS!!!
He is hilarious!
He is a great teacher with a great sense of humor that makes the class interesting and fun!
Perrine is FLY. Stupidly, I missed an exam, and he allowed an opportunity to receive the points. He's good-looking, respectful, and witty. End of Fashion is a quick, interesting read.
He is such a nice person who has a lot of life experience and really knows what he's talking about
Mr. Perrine rocks!
Good class love his stories!!!
William is an educated, interesting, and all around great professor. His experience in the industry helps students to further understand how things truly operate. Kent State is lucky to have a professor that genuinely cares for the students and our education. He is in it to make a difference. Kudos!
Mr. Perrine is a good teacher. We dont do too much, but the class is a must take for any fashion major. Good expereinces with giving presentations. All around good classs and rockin profff.
Mr. Perrine is awesome, so friendly, funny, and just enjoyable to have as a teacher. I looked forward to class and his stories! Definately take him for a teacher if he is teaching anything you need to take!
He is a great professor that explains things well.
I loved him..you learn a lot without a stressful environment. YOu do have to go to class but its not i like i drag going to it he always has something funny to say and tells a lot of stories and experiences.
He's very helpfull
AMAZING. EVERYONE MUST HAVE PERRINE
LOVE LOVE HIM! He is sooo hilarous when he teaches that it really makes you want to come to class. He is by far one of my fav. fashion professors here at Kent State : )
he is awesome! super easy, super nice, and super helpful
Good teacher. Interesting to listen to.
I enjoy analyzing different case studies rather than reading right from the text. It is easier to understand the topics and it is something to relate to. It also stimulates your brain.
great, entertaining teacher
He's by far the best professor I've ever had while attending college for 6 years!
Mr. Perrine is a great teacher and has a real passion for teaching which shows through his lectures...
I love this teacher. He is AWESOME!!
great teacher! very helpful and fun! highly recommended
Nice teacher, knows a lot. VERY easy class.
hey is amazing!!!
He is an awesome professor! We are very lucky to have him in our school of fashion. He is very passionate about what he does and is quite an inspiration!
Best teacher I've ever had. Classes arent mandatory but its interesting and fun and do in class activities for easy A.
Pretty easy, understands his students and college life, insightful
I liked him a lot.
Your AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!
Yea!!11!
great teacher!!!! knows what he is talking about! Never tricks you on a test!
William is awesome! Corny jokes and all...he's my fav!
Very nice, reasonable, and understanding.
Great Teacher, a lot of fun!
He's really cool and laid back. I learned a lot from him.
What a cool cat :)
by FAR my FAV professor :)
He's freaking sweet! Very sweet and understanding and you learn a lot about presentations. I was never comfortable with presentation before his class.
AWESOME
THIS PROFESSOR IS AWESOME, TAKE HIS CLASSES
Fave Teacher!
Excellent teacher, very down to earth, and tries to get the class involved instead of just standing there reading off notes like many professors.
Very, very easy prof. Almost too easy. But he was definitely my favorite prof so far at Kent!! Very lovable guy; veryyy easy to get an A.
Really good teacher! Will help you whenever he can. Definitely a teacher to have!
Awesome teacher, really funny and nice. Definitely easy to get an A. Just do your work, duh
He is by far the best professor I have had so far at kent. He works with students and makes sure they understand what they are doing. I wish I could have him for more classes
Best teacher I have ever had at kent! Very funny and class goes by so fast! Has fun and interesting stories too!
Great teacher! Very interesting and fun! Definately take this class :)
I loved William as a teacher for Presentations. He listened to his students and never wanted to stress anyone out! He is easy to talk to and is even funny at times.
I really like this class, not only was it fairly easy but William is a nice easy going guy who hardly gave us work but still made the class interesting. Plus, the presentations weren't hard at all once you figured out what topic you wanted to do and researched a bit. Do Take This Class! you wont regret it :)
wonderful! excellent teacher!
AWESOME prof! class is mandatory and he's the only prof so good thing we like him
Planning and Buying is the second class I've had William for and he one of the best professors that I've ever had. He doesn't make things harder than they need to be and he keeps class really interesting with his cheesy jokes. =)
YOU ARE AWESOME!!!!
I love this guy. He is an amazing teacher and so much fun.
very accomodating and really takes time to think about treating the students fairly as to work load...definitely a good one...he has a good sense of humor too
He loves telling stories, and most of the time they are funny, good ones.
Loved him! really fun class, really enjoyed the assignments if you do the work you'll do great
Awesome teacher! made class fun.
He is the greatest, really rateable. Take him
He is a fun teacher and very easy to talk to if you have questions. Very willing to help you out with anything. He however does always seem to let class out early sometimes 30 to 45 mins early which makes it a waste of time sometimes to go to class. But overall it was a good teacher.
Best teacher at Kent
Funny guy & a great professor!
Great teacher! Respectful to students!
BEST TEACHER EVER. TAKE HIM!!
Best teacher ever!! Cares about the subject and the students. Made class fun and interesting!! :-)
Great professor! He is passionate and highly knowledgeable on the subjects he teaches! Great in-class personality and extremely approachable!
Awesome teacher!!! Definitely want to take him again! He is like sunshine on a cloudy day.
Very easy class, but i'm disappointed I didn't really learn as much as i should have, considering the importance of this topic in fashion merchandising careers. Not really even worth my time.
Best Teacher in the fashion department! Very easy to talk to, always willing to help out with problems, very nice. Every day he walks in to class and says "wazz-up?" Has good taste in music and will probably talk about it.
I've had him for planning and buying and presentations as well and he's really laid back, helps whenever you need it, all around nice prof :)
Computer Apps. in Retailing: The class is rather easy. It is important to go to class so understand everything that we learn but out of every fashion class I've taken thus far this one seems to be the most useful. And of course Mr. Perrine is great, doesn't grade harshly and is really helpful.
Perrine is a trip and a half..overall a really cool professor, laid back, lots of interesting stories and an upbeat, "let's do this thing" attitude and he even remembers his students by name..u will like apps if u enjoy classes where u can work on ur own time
Great for Computer Applications in Retailing! Very helpful, patient, & understanding.
Had Perrine for Computer Apps. The class was pretty easy...can't say I learned a ton but enjoyed his teaching style. Would reccommend taking him.
Amazing!! best teacher fashion!
Fun and cool but i thought his grading was very hard
By far the best professor I've had throughout my entire college experience! He is sooo helpful, and always excited about what he is teaching. His cheerfulness is contagious and will always make your day so much better!
Hilarious and really knows his stuff
He is very friendly and always has a positive attitude.
He is very interested in what he talks about which makes it more interesting. He doesn't just read from the book, he tells stories and personal opinions which is very interesting.
awesome teacher!!!
Perrine is great!! Will love him and his crazy jokes that sometimes dont make sense!!
Great teacher! Understands material extremely well and always shows respect for his students. :)
Wonderful teacher! Respects everyone, andhe is very helpful. Some professors are not friendly and you feel uncomfortable even with a confrence about you grades but Mr. Perrinehas a positive aura about him and he shows that to his students!
Best professor I have had. Made my 4 years very worth it. Shows respect towards his students, enjoys having a good laugh, and is passionate about the material he teaches. Everyone should take his classes!
BEST teacher I have ever had!!! Very nice and he will actually help you if you need help. Greatest teacher ever!!!
Most mellow dude in the fashion school pretty boss music and a dope cat to boot
William is a great professor and is always happy to help with whatever he can. He is very knowledgeable about what he teaches and even in our field of fashion. He keeps you interested in class so that you want to attend and learn. I highly recommend him for any class.
AWESOME!!!
He's really fun, and makes class not horrible to go to.
AWESOME TEACHER!!I looked forward to comming to class everyday. Super cool and nice!! Very smart and knowing the coolest stuff!! I am very sad that I am graduating this year becasue I wont be able to have him has my teacher any more. Great guy and awesome teacher!!
Awesome Teacher and really cool guy! Helpful and understanding. Definitely recommended!
He's a great teacher and a great guy. He's not a teacher that's out to get you with tests and assignments. Instead he's a teacher that wants to help you. He definitely has the students best interest in mind.
Mr. Perrine always provides a relaxed atmosphere, and is very approachable and willing to help his students. He encourages us to think and apply concepts practically to the business side of fashion.
Great Prof, very passionate and knowledgeable about what he teachers and cares about. Helps to learn without impossible tests and assignments. Encourages us to get involved in causes we care about and to learn about behind the scenes stuff, ie. free trade. Really hard to get a hold of though, response time rather slow, but easy to talk to when u do
AWESOME!
Mr. Perrine is by far the best teacher/influential person ive had in my 4 years of college. Ive taking 3 classes of his so far and plan on taking at least one more. He is very passionate about fashion and that shows in the class he created Fair Trade. That class changed my life and have considered taking new routes in my life after I graduate.
William is a great professor and shows great knowledge for the subject material. Apparel in the Global Economy was my 4th class I have taken with him throughout my college career. He keeps things interesting and really cares about his students.
As usual, Mr. Perrine is the best! He never makes the topic dull, finds ways to engage his students. He is helpful and available, responsive to emails/calls. By far my FAVORITE teacher at Kent State in my four years!
good heart, smart mind, positive attitude.
Good teacher, very easy. With the way professors are, being unnecessarily difficult, it's nice to have an instructor who generally cares about his students doing well.
I have had Perrine for a class all four years I have been in college and I can honestly say that he is the BEST professor I have ever had. His top priority is that his students do well and succeed and he is always ready to help out. I highly, highly recommend him.
I had Perrine for two classes. Global and and Fashion Merchandising seminar. His class has a really laid back style but he takes seminar very serious and allows no slacking. He expects you to know the material and offers a lot of ways of learning. I really enjoyed his teaching style and wish I would have taken more of his classes.
Perrine is awesome, do not slack off in Seminar-there is a lot of work in this class. If you ever need help, he is there for you! :-)
Great prof, super laid back but very helpful
Super laid back and very helpful!
Wonderful teacher and person. Would help all students with anything!
Really awesome teacher, learned so much about the topic!
Excellent professor. Very helpful, laid back and understanding.
Awesome professor. Super nice and helpful, learned a lot from him!!! A+++
Great Teacher!
He is an excellent teacher! He gets you involved with what is actually happening in the world of fashion!
He's a really great professor....very enthusiastic and passionate about the material. He also is very understanding and will work with his students.
Best fashion professor I have ever had! Very passionate about what he teaches, really gets you interested in the material and makes the classes interesting. He really cares about his students and is willing to help with anything!
Good class. Interesting. Pretty easy if you lend the effort.
Extremely enthusiastic individual. Incredibly motivating and personally interesting. I would strongly recommend this class.
AWESOME TEACHER!! I can't stress this enough. He's super nice and encourages you to think about the subject. He's very well-versed in the industry, also. All seniors have to take this class, you won't be disappointed. Show up for his "Best Lecture" class.
Absolutely LOVED Perrine. Very down to earth & passionate. Prof made me want to become much more involved with fair trade purchasing and labor issues. My stance on BOTH these subjects has changed dramatically and positively. My only wish is that I had him more than once before I graduated. Very understanding professor! HE GETS THE SENIOR STRUGGLE!
Really cares about his students and makes the class fun although he doesnt always use his time efficiently
Good teacher
Not only a great teacher, but a great human being. I wish I had him more at my time at Kent. Knows his stuff/has had a successful career without being pretentious like many of the other profs in the Fashion School. His "best lecture" class lives up to the hype. Thank you, Mr. Perrine!
Such an awesome teacher! Really loves teaching and it makes the class so easy and fun. Best Lecture class really was the best and most useful lecture of college.
I think he is an awesome professor! He is very helpful and I learned a lot of great information in his Apparel in the Global Economy class.I wish I could take him one more time before I graduate.
Not just a teacher, but an educator. He is very passionate about global economy. He educates and moves the class to become as passionate as he is. Regardless of his class he's a great person and the last lecture of the year is awesome! He truly cares about the future of his students.
This teacher is awesome. He has some of the best stories and always has a surprise up his sleeve. The only thing is his tests are not at easy as you would expect.
Professor Perrine is a great professor. He cares about his students' success and puts in way more effort than the average professor. He doesn't teach "blow off" classes, but if you pay attention, you'll do fine.
William is more than a professor, he is an educator and truly cares about each and every student. There aren't many professors out there that I can say went the extra mile for their students, but he does. Class isn't easy by any means, but it's not impossible. Just study what he tells you and enjoy all of his crazy story! Grazie Perrine!
Professor Perrine is a wonderful professor! He knows his stuff and is passionate about the material! Make sure you go to class and follow along, and you'll do well in his class!
Mr. Perrine is very helpful and he gives helpful tips in real life situations. He is more than willing to help a student if they do not understand something or simply needs advice. If you ask for help, he will more than likely give it to you. He is one of my favorite professors from my college career!!
Mr. P is eloquent, interesting, and most importantly, passionate about education, equality and fashion. His hilarious anecdotes - along with fascinating course material and excellent films - make class memorable and worth going to. This alone makes him unique amongst KSU profs. Take his class - you'll actually learn something for once!
Professor Perrine is an amazing teacher. You can tell he truly cares about his students. Does teach from the book which is helpful and prints out PowerPoint notes for class. Attendance is not required but I would highly recommend going bc he sometimes has pop quizzes or random assignments. If you do not understand something ask! Very helpful!!
Professor Perrine was wonderful! He was very helpful and cared about us. I loved his stories about being a cop before and literally being the fashion police. It's really nice being able to relate to your professor as a person and not just as the person teaching you. If you can take a class with him, do it!!
I was already familiar with Photoshop and Illustrator but I learned even more in his class. He explains everything so thoroughly and doesn't go too fast or too slow. I love how he was professional yet had a laid back demeanor. I loved his random stories he would tell us. It made him so relatable. Mr. Perrine is an amazing teacher.
The class was fine. Professor wouldn't email students back.
Great teacher and very helpful. Attendance isn't mandatory but go because sometimes he gives out extra credit. He is funny and understanding. I really enjoyed him and his class. I would definitely recommend him to others!
Made the material interesting. Very genuine and wants to see you succeed!
Overall, he made the class much more interested that previously thought. Perrine has a lot of knowledge in this area which he enjoys passing along.
Great class! Connects the fashion world to the world of global trade and the world economy. Professor truly cares about his class and helps keep everything super interesting and concise, class never lasts the whole hour and 15 minutes.
One of the best teachers I had all four years at Kent. He makes the class so much more interesting. He wants you to do well not just in the class but after school as well.
Any professor who as half funny and friend as William will definitely not let you done.
He has so much knowledge in the subject, and his passion for it shines through. Plus, he is super nice and always willing to give advice/help! You can read the textbook and get good grades but going to class allows you to hear his life stories and sometimes get bonus points:)
Great~
Global was a great class with professor Perrine! He is an excellent professor and makes the class enjoyable. Attendance is not mandatory , but if you don't go to class you risk missing random in class assignments and extra credit attendance opportunities! You need the book for the vocab assignments too!
Mr. William's class was awesome! Definitely pick him over any other lab instructor- he's committed, engaged and so easy going! You HAVE to show up to class, but it's worth it. I only wish he'd teach Fash Tech Apps as well. Oh and he has the funniest stories to tell from everything he's done (WHICH IS A LOT!)
Not helpful.
William was always pleasant and creates a course that proves if you try you can succeed. Gave an inspirational closing lecture today that motivated me and showed everyone he has a genuine love for what he does and is concerned about the well being of his students. Great guy!
He's extremely nice, he makes a bunch of corny jokes, but I find him hilarious! He's a hip teacher. His lectures are super easy to follow, not boring at all! He's also an easy grader which helps because my fashion tech drawings aren't the best. You do need to go to his labs but they aren't hard! I would take him over any professor!
He is an easy professor. As long as you show up to class and show him you are working hard you will do great! He made me look forward to coming to a 3 hour night lab instead of dreading it. He makes a bunch of small talk and jokes during class to lighten the mood too. Just make sure you pay attention while he is doing demos
Kept the class interesting, easy going, yet challenging. Even though class was kind of early he was always on time, well prepared, and willing to help when needed. Also very funny! One of the only classes I haven't fallen asleep in this semester and I also learned a ton!
William is an excellent teacher. I've been waiting to have a class taught by him since freshman year and he didn't disappoint. The material itself would be boring taught by anyone but he tries to make it an interesting as possible. Unlike other classes information wasn't repeated. Assignments every week but easy points.
He's the nicest teacher most caring teacher. The lectures are a bit dry sometimes but he means so well!
YES take him he is so kind and even though his class was a piece of cake I learned Photoshop so well i rock at it now and every time I got frustrated I went to his office hours for help and HE WAS THERE FO ME OK WILLIAM PERRINE FA EVA
He's the best !!!
He's a great teacher and I really enjoyed the class!
William is THE best professor at Kent. Not only is he beyond inspiring, he knows how to respect his students throughout teaching them more than just lessons from the book.
William is the best teacher I have ever had! So nice and respectful, class is easy if you show up and do all the homework and study for the tests. Really cares about teaching his students and wants you to pass! Can get away with skipping a few lectures.
William is such an awesome professor. He ranks in my top five for sure. You can learn so much from him, class wise and life wise. His lecture at the end of the year is truly amazing. DON'T SKIP CLASS THAT DAY
I loved this class although the Saipan dvd made me cry! (luckily the lights were off) When thinking about returning to school I almost decided to go back for a degree in social work but this class helped me to learn that I can use my love of fashion and retail to help others! Thanks William!
Fun Projects!
A wonderful and incredibly experienced teacher. He made the class so fun! I highly recommend to take whatever class he teaches, you won't regret it.
He is an amazing professor that genuinely cares about his students and how they will make an impact. His knowledge of fashion and his desire to better the industry should be admired and appreciated by all students. Not only do you learn valuable material throughout this course, you learn how to make meaningful decisions within your career.
Best Teacher I have ever had!!! So helpful and gives the best lecture at the end of the year!!
Show up and do the work in class and you'll never have homework. I had a grad student originally and William got switched in - thank god! Really cares about student success and is very willing to help both inside and outside of class.
What a great professor. Nothing negative to say about him or the course and he's always looking out for your best interests in the class. Just great great great!!!
Definitely one of the best professors I've ever had. I had him for my Fashion Technology Lab and I absolutely loved it! As long as you do the required work, you will get all the points. He is very open to your ideas and interpretations of the projects.
I love William!!! He is one of the best professors at Kent State for Fashion. I would take every one of his classes if i could. He shares lots of information and knowlegde about Global textiles and the apparel industry. I promise he makes the class worth it . Fun professor!
He's very friendly and encourages you to get to know him outside of class. Super fun lectures! He grades really fairly, only on blatant mistakes, and isn't all about perfection on projects.
William is a really great professor. He is knowledgeable and you learn a lot of really good information.
Makes class interesting. Very easy grader. Always goes through the classwork with you and you can get it done in class. Impossible to reach outside of class. Not super excited when he has to help or answer questions, prefers that you figure it out yourself. Fashion Tech is VERY hard for the 1st month (12+ hours a week), but gets way easier.
William is a great professor, he is very understanding that not everyone is an artist when it comes to grading. Show up to the labs and turn in the classwork and projects on-time and you will pass with flying colors.
One of my favorite teachers. What you learn in this class will actually help you in real life and in the fashion industry.
William is very passionate about his job, which makes the lectures more interesting. He is always looking out for his students. The homework is the same each week and doesn't take long to complete. The exams are easy if you study.
William is such a great professor! The class by nature has a lot of work, but if you attend the lab and get the work done on time, you will pass without a problem. 10/10 would recommend William as a Intro to Fashion Tech teacher! :)
William is so awesome, he is so helpful and kind and genuinely cares about all of his students. If you have the opportunity to take fashion tech with William definitely do it!! He's amazing and I definitely want to take another class taught by him!
Great personality! Treats you like an adult and has reasonable yet fun expectations for classes
Gives extra credit which helped so much for the tests. Such a nice professor! Willing to meet after class and help you. Loved the end of the year lecture! Def read the book for this class. Test questions are sometimes specific.
Amazing teacher and always there to help!
Favorite professor!
One of my top classes and professors of all time. Wish I could take the class again! Show up and he will give extra credit on days when theres a ton of absences. Read the chapters and do all the homework ahead of time. Such an inspirational class! I will never forget it!
Great & Entertaining!
"Who's looking out for ya" He is the best professor at the fashion building. Ive already had him for three of my classes and its sad that this is my last year and i have to say goodbye! Take him! He is so nice and so sweet!!!
I loved having him as my tech professor would gladly take the class again with him. iIlearned a lot and ended with a 100% in the class. He is very understanding, kind and encouraging and a light grader. The only con is he doesn't critique much so you wouldn't know what needs improving for future reference but take him if you want an A in tech!
FABULOUS! He's such a great lecturer and really fun to listen to!
I would take any class he teaches in a heartbeat. He is always looking out for you and just really supportive. I would highly recommend going to his last lecture of this course as it's really informative.
So far William is my favorite professor at Kent. He is someone you want to take if its your first time taking Photoshop and Illustrator. He really respects his students as long as you respect him and appreciates honesty. I would love to have him as a teacher again!
William is one of the best professors I've had at Kent State. I loved the topic of the course and his teaching made me realize that I want to go into sourcing after graduation.
One of my favorite professors at Kent and through my college career! Always willing to help and to go above and beyond for students! Definitely, recommend new beginners to tech to take his course and global apparel, he makes learning fun and beneficial!
Great guy, would recommend.
William is an AMAZING professor! I had him for Fashion Tech and would take him again in a heartbeat. The class could be interesting at times, but me personally tech wasn't really my strong point. But William is an easy grader, and really just likes to see that his students put their best effort forth and complete assignments. He's the best!
Apparel in the Global Economy has three weekly assignments which aren't that difficult but the exams are tricky. I've had him for other classes and this one has much harder exams. He really cares about student success though - if you have interviews or other opportunities he is very accommodating.
I've had William twice during my time at Kent-once during my first year and once during my last year for Fashion Tech and Apparel in the Global Economy. He's easy to talk to, funny and a great teacher who really enjoys and knows what he's talking about! I definitely recommend him as a professor!
William is AMAZING! Seriously so fun and made my really think about the Fashion industry in a new light. He gives so many resources and facts about the industry that can be used outside of the classroom. His homework is not hard but helps you learn! 10/10 RECOMMEND!
I had William for Fashion Tech lab and this was by far my favorite class this semester. This class made me realize this is why I want to be here and why I love fashion design. This class is not an easy class though you have projects and homework a lot but as long as you keep up with it your grade will be fine. Definitely recommend.
He offers extra credit for those willing to work for it, he's an incredible person both in and out of the classroom. He's a confidant and instructor, and wants nothing more than success for his students
Dr. Perrine is incredible! One of the best professors at the Fashion School. He gives you so much insight into the fashion industry, and just life in general. He is very relatable and loves helping out students who are truly interested in the industry. A great connection to have post-graduation too!
The class was tough but William was a terrific teacher. 10/10 recommend for Fashion Tech he really knows what he is talking about.
He was the best teacher I've had my entire college career. Really funny, and engaged with his students to make them love the subject. I left Computer Apps feeling very confident in Excel.
William is an amazing teacher and is a great connection to have at the Fashion School (everyone loves him).
William is one of my favorite professors I have had this semester. He genuinely cares about his students and makes class interesting for everybody. If anyone has the chance to take him I would highly recommend. He made my semester so much better.
William is one of the best professors Ive had thus far in the fashion school. He treats everyone in his classes with the upmost respect and is always willing to help in and outside of class. One of the best parts of this semester.
William is absolutely lovely. Will make you laugh and will genuinely help. He is not always clear about assignments or respectful of your time, but he is understanding and will ultimately grade fairly.
His classes are easy to pass but if you want to actually learn anything... he is the wrong one. I learned more about his personal shopping preferences and his workout routine than the subject matter of the course. He is lazy, often ending class early and not submitting grades until weeks after the assignment is due. I cannot stand him.
Considering taking Prof Perrine for tech? DO IT. I am the least technologically advanced student and I got an A+. Super laid back grader, friendly and funny. Only heads up is he will reply to emails late and submit assignments late so may cause some frustration.
Professor Perrine has been one of the most enjoyable professors I have had at Kent State so far! He is extremely personable and friendly, and was always willing to help out other students. The course load was a little heavy, but not difficult. He's made my first semester of college stress free and I hope I have him as a teacher again!
I've taken classes with William before, but wanted to review him during the pandemic. He was my most kind professor by far. Aware of our stress, understanding that our performance levels were going to be down, and empathetic that our school lives had gotten way more complicated. Educational, not stressful. His class was a safe place this semester.
William is just the kind of professor everyone wants to have at least once. The class I took (fashion tech) was a relatively hard class when it comes to the work load, but still somewhat fun and interesting no matter what professor you have. If you have William as your professor, consider yourself lucky. He is especially lenient during covid.
Such a great and caring professor! The class includes lots of work and is very time consuming, but William makes it fun. Always very descriptive and clear with instructions on class work and projects.
Super great teacher. Glad I had him freshman year, he was super refreshing to hear from.
He genuinely cares for his students and their well-being. Is very understanding and willing to help, answer questions, and make accommodations. He makes the work enjoyable and is respectful of students time when setting deadlines. He is the best professor i have had at Kent and the material is actually useful.
Definitely take William if you have the option, he really knows his stuff and is super knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful.
My favorite profesor ever. Super helpful when you don't understand things. Loved coming to class. Classwork is easy.
This was one of the strangest professors I have ever had. Lectures felt like a conversation, and not in a good way. He overshared about his dating life and it felt uncomfortable to the point where I stopped attending class. He will say attendance is mandatory but it isn't and you can use the textbook in the library for all of the homework.
Professor Perrine makes the material engaging. His lectures feel like conversations, though he can overshare at times. The work is enjoyable, and unstuckstudy ai was a great study aid alongside the textbook.
He is friendly but also the most unprofessional educators I have ever met. Class time is wasted with anecdotes about this personal life that are irrelevant to the class. He would regularly release the class early when he didn't feel like teaching. Receiving a good grade will almost be too easy. Will you actually learn something? Probably not.
William was an extremely kind professor always going out of his way to ensure students felt comfortable and supported. He is very understanding and helpful. Overall he is a great lab teacher, I'd definitely recommend him to anyone.
He creates a trusting and supportive relationship with his students and will answer your questions clearly. I've seen my peers improve their skills and knowledge overtime under his guidance. He likes dark chocolate and Asian food :D
Professor Perrine seems like a nice enough guy but it never seems like he wants to be teaching his class. He will cancel class for silly reasons and when he does lecture it is only for 30 minutes max. The exams are easy (he will give you the answer in the question) but you will will never actually learn anything. A waste of my time and energy.
Very nice and understanding professor. Makes the adobe programs very easy to understand and use. He made the class very fun and entertaining. He never made the class feel too hard or overwhelming. 10/10 Professor Would Recommend
