This class is 2.5 hours long once a week which was very boring. Tbh I didn't pay attention much in class but did well on tests if you understand study guides. He is nice and funny but just boring. Heather the TA is very helpful. Only take if you have to thought. Only graded on a 10-page research paper and quick presentation of it and 2 exams.Rate My Professors ↗
jesus christ this class was boring. Majid was funny but dont take this class if you dont have to. the most boring 2 and a half hours of my lifeRate My Professors ↗
Very long lectures but he tries to make them interesting. He is very proud of his achievements and talks about them a lot. Overall I learned a lot of his class but it was not super enjoyable.Rate My Professors ↗
Lots of work but the material and his teaching style made everything worth it. Every lecture was another "Aha!" moment that deepened my understanding of physics, colors, and design.Rate My Professors ↗
As others have stated, the lectures are simply read word for word. You're better off reading the book and using Google to help study for exams. Don't bother taking notes because you won't have time to write it all down - and most of the time what is said in lecture will contradict what the book says. Buy the book, don't bother with the swatch kit.Rate My Professors ↗
As an Interior Design major I felt this class was useless to my major. Only the content on the first exam applies to interior design everything else is for Textile and Apparel design. His jokes aren't that funny and by the end of the semester you're usually fed up with his class. Think you studied well for the exams...think again!Rate My Professors ↗
