“This class is fantastic, and I am insanely disappointed that it will be online-only next year, although I am certainly glad that it is still offered. Although I enjoyed Graphic Design prior to this course (It’s my minor!), this course made me extremely excited about not just Graphic Design but art and design in general. This course was challenging, exercised my creativity, and definitely gave me a new appreciation for design. Although I knew I would enjoy this class going in, this class has ended up being my favorite of the entire year, and Leslie is a wonderful prof to teach it. This class was essential in helping me improve my design skills and interests.”

“Leslie has been one of my most favorite professors. She’s excellent. She really cares and will do whatever it takes to help her students. She makes me want to do good and try my hardest, which is rare.”

“Leslie is a very good professor. She is quick to answer questions, she is always on top of her stuff, always prepared for class, hardly ever late, manages the course exceptionally, teaches all the things that need to be taught to meet the needs to the course, goes one step further than most professors do when helping students, very quick to respond to emails, and she is just an all around great professor.”

“Excellent course – I loved it! I really appreciated the thoughtful feedback on the major projects.

Your graphic design skill is very apparent in all the materials you have prepared for the class, and I’m glad to get your feedback on my work!”
