DS 501
Quality 1/5Difficulty 4/5
Doesnt really tell you what you need to know before starting an assignment and then grades really hard when you dont do things the exact way she wants them done even though she didnt even tell you exactly how she wants it done.

I can't pass the class with a good grade or even fail if you have more than three absence. And lecture and studio both count!! Every three class missed is one letter grade down. She did not explain this clearly in the syllabus and even her TA do not know this policy. Mean and tough. Don't take her class unless you major in design had have to.

Quality 3/5Difficulty 3/5
Boring lectures. If you skip 3 times, it's one letter grade down. No one gets an A. Open book exams. exams are worded weirdly. projects are pricey. Jung-Hye is unorganized. no clear expectations of projects. You will do good if you go to class, and studio. quizzes online. quizzes are on readings. easy quizzes.

You need to go to class because your grade depends on it. Totally not necessary to do the readings. All tests are open book.

Jung-Hye was a nice professor. She was always prepared for class and definitely knows her stuff. She likes to give feedback and her projects were fun. However, her lectures were a bore. I would fall asleep constantly looking at too easy of material on slides. Then all of a sudden the exams would take this easy material and overcomplicate it.

It's a fun class, but the projects take forever. They also start to get very expensive. I enjoyed the class, but wish it was a little cheaper and a little less time consuming. I would not suggest buying the prearranged art bag, as you don't need all the materials in it
