"The evaluation of your work is entirely based on what you bring to it and how I perceive it, rather than preconceptions regarding what you think you deserve." Straight from the syllabus. If he likes your stuff you will pass, if not you will get deductions. Hard to reach and bad at communication. Canvas page is badly formatted and confusing.Rate My Professors ↗
Professor Nardi is a good professor. He gives harsh feedback right away but that is only out of his own way of teaching. I would say, compared to other graphic design professors, he is the better one. All he really wants for his students is to try their best and think outside of the box. Go in with a good attitude, ready to learn, and you're fine.Rate My Professors ↗
IMPOSSIBLE to reach outside of class, which is ridiculous-- its an online class. Very negative feedback which is discouraging. Lots of quick turn around assignments. Unclear rubrics. Took the whole semester to grade everything. He's good at graphic design, but he just shouldn't be a professor, like most of the design profs. at Madison.Rate My Professors ↗
Loved Professor Nardi. He gives really great feedback and pushes you to think outside of the box. No quizzes, unlike previous years. Office hours were really useful. Didn't grade any of our projects until the last half of the semester which was a bit annoying, but he gives you time to resubmit your work for a higher grade if you wantRate My Professors ↗
Very fair and kind. He doesn't give much criticism, but that can be nice for an introductory class. Learned a lot.Rate My Professors ↗
Professor Nardi is the best professor ever! He wants you to succeed and he wants to help you. He's available at his office hours, or you can schedule an appointment with him. DO IT! Come to his office hours! He'll be there for you. Not an easy A, but a-very-possible-A. Show him that you a hard worker and you'll succeed!Rate My Professors ↗
