CollegeAbsolutely love Professor Scott. She is so genuinely considerate of fostering creative freedom and allowing students to create what THEY want to. Every class was full of laughter and in depth discussion about current projects in the theater department. Homework was incredibly easy and while the final project took a lot of work, it was really fun!
Vickie is one of the most invested professors on campus. Genuinely cares about the material, and about helping her students. As long as you do the work and be respectful, there's no reason you can't get an A. She somehow molds designers out of the clay that all frazzled students are made of. An amazing person and teacher.
Professor Vickie was firm but fair. We had a Midterm and Final, along with mandatory graded attendance. Classes were lectures from her and some class participation. It was a lot of listening. We were given an exact study guide of the questions that would be on the exams with answers. Only hard part of the class was memorization and time given.
Don't take this class unless you have to. Instead of teaching us herself, she assigns many long videos to watch outside of class (up to 10 hours worth of videos in 1 week) so she can lecture about irrelevant topics. The exams were on tiny details from the videos. She marked me late for going to the bathroom for 2 minutes during a 2 hour class.
Professor Scott was one of the least considerate professor I have ever had. She claims to be easily accessible through text and email, however she disregards what the email is about completely. I had unforeseen issues with the midterm and once I emailed her AND the TA about they both simply ignored it. I thought it was very unprofessional of her.
Professor Scott had the class write the questions and answers for the midterm and final. The midterm questions were based on 9 hours of videos, 3 hours consisted of 1 minute long interviews with little or no connecting ideas. Notes are not allowed for the midterm and final and all students were required to be on camera as they took the tests.
