this is for dr. rubin's nyu dc class -- it's true that he's a smart guy but CANNOT teach for shit; if you are knowledgeable/passionate about what he teaches about, class is very interesting and engaging but if you're not, it will be a bore 😬 rubin cares about his students and shows it in his own way, but he does have a bit of an ego

So inspirational and one of the best etching teachers you will probably get. So much experience in techniques and taught many of them over the course of the semester. Only thing that is negative is that you don't receive clear grading requirements/don't know where you stand until the end of the semester.

Funny dude, fun class. If you put in the time, get the projects done, and demonstrate some level of caring about learning, you'll get an A. He could stand to care a bit more (i.e. go around and check in on how students' projects are going), but IS willing to talk about stuff/lend his help if you go to him. Loves haiku, likes rock formations.
