It's a lot of work, but he has very thorough demos and gives a reasonable amount of work time. Overall a very fair grader. He expects you to put the work in, so make sure you leave time for yourself to work on things.","source_url":"https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/2316675","quality_rating":5.0,"difficulty_rating":4.0},{"observed_at":"2026-09-07 16:23:02.274251+00:00","run_id":"20260907T155543-ce3781c4","source_review_id":"UmF0aW5nLTM1ODcwMDY3","source_instructor_id":"rmp:456261","instructor_name":"Lisa Gralnick","course_label":"ART244","course_id":"ART 244","course_uid":"course_5711c21c01348ec07f736f0c","review_date":"2022-02-21 13:59:37 +0000 UTC","comment":"The best class I have ever taken but also the hardest.

She really cares about you succeeding in metals. The projects are challenging, but you'll be really excited about what you've made in the end. She can be harsh at times, but it's from a place of her wanting you to really do the best you can do. Stick with it and you will see the rewards of your work!","source_url":"https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/456261","quality_rating":4.0,"difficulty_rating":4.0},{"observed_at":"2026-09-07 16:23:02.274251+00:00","run_id":"20260907T155543-ce3781c4","source_review_id":"UmF0aW5nLTM1NDMzNzE3","source_instructor_id":"rmp:456261","instructor_name":"Lisa Gralnick","course_label":"ART244","course_id":"ART 244","course_uid":"course_5711c21c01348ec07f736f0c","review_date":"2021-12-09 05:26:33 +0000 UTC","comment":"She's not understanding. This class is VERY demanding. If you have a job outside of class- better quit if you want to spend enough time to complete her projects and to her expectations. She does have A LOT of knowledge, but she isn't around much for actual help. Expect the studio to be closed 50% of the times you go in to work. Not a good teacher.","source_url":"https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/456261","quality_rating":1.0,"difficulty_rating":5.0},{"observed_at":"2026-09-07 16:23:02.274251+00:00","run_id":"20260907T155543-ce3781c4","source_review_id":"UmF0aW5nLTM1MDg4MjMw","source_instructor_id":"rmp:456261","instructor_name":"Lisa Gralnick","course_label":"ART244","course_id":"ART 244","course_uid":"course_5711c21c01348ec07f736f0c","review_date":"2021-09-25 12:07:42 +0000 UTC","comment":"amazing professor with so much knowledge.

If you think metalwork is awesome & want to learn, do it! Taking this class with Lisa (amazing person and artist) had me (not an artist) falling in love with metalwork.

She can be pretty tough, and yes a couple people cried, but if you pay attention to what she's saying and make an effort she has a TON of stuff to teach. Basically, she cares as much as you care.

My projects weren't amazing, but as I finished them on time and met the basic criteria he was looking for, I basically always got full marks. The class time is just him demoing techniques which means you'll have to come in during non-class time to finish projects (on average I spent 4-6 hr/week).","source_url":"https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/2799082","quality_rating":4.0,"difficulty_rating":3.0}]
