Brooke is an amazing instructor. I've had several classes with her, including DS120, 320, 323 and 624. I actually waited to take my final course with her during the summer session. She is extremely talented, easy to understand, very approachable and really knows what she's talking about. I highly recommend taking a class with her! She's great!

Brooke has a very fun personality that makes her teaching both memorable and exciting. I've had several classes with her and she is very understanding and also teaches a lot of great lessons that can be used in the real world. She's extremely creative which is very useful in design studies courses. I've enjoyed every class I've had with her.

Brooke is extremely talented and very helpful when you talk to her outside of class. However she reads word for word from slides so it is very hard to write everything down and she always seemed like a harsh and unfriendly person during lecture. Tests are easy as long as you know the material but the projects are VERY time consuming.

Brooke is by far the best teacher I've had at UW. She is extremely helpful and knowledgeable. I loved her class and she makes the entire experience really fun. I can't wait to take another class with her!!!

Important class for art or design majors. Still useful for other people, but a lot of work. Covered the basics, what I expected for a 100 level class.

The lectures are mandatory even though ALL of the slides are online, and Brooke reads them word-for-word. Attending lecture is very boring and borderline unnecessary, but lab and the projects are SO much fun (take it with Petra)! The class is very time consuming and harshly graded, so if you're not a DS major, it's NOT an easy A.
