Quality 3/5Difficulty 3/5
Brad is a solid professor with tougher grading than your average graphic design prof and a strict attendance policy—don't miss more than three classes. His lectures are helpful, and he shares real-world design advice from his jobs, but his feedback on class projects is usually vague and not very helpful.
