Fashion Institute of Technology

Very happy

I learned a lot in class.

Great class, a bit fast paced for the beginner but it makes sense because theres so much to get through.

Great intro to woodworking, we used almost every machine in the shop!

Great teacher very informative would take another one of her classes. Also great for networking!

Class was great and I'm excited to try my pants. Joan (Instructor) was very helpful and informative.

The classroom was super hot and the humidity was stifling. There was a class before ours, students were always reluctant to leave the classroom.

Kate is a great instructor. Her assignments and exercises really bring the most out of her students. She understands the industry/topic well and brings guest speakers into the class to complement her expertise. A must-take for anyone interested in changing the fashion industry or ethical business practices.

The instructor Walter Atkinson always seemed unprepared and unorganized. Very flustered. He could not control the class when people started talking amongst themselves. There needed to be at least one Teacher's Assistant to help people moving slower than others. Maybe even two TAs would have been helpful. We only had a TA on the first day; then she never came back. Walter moved way too fast on day three and about half the class fell majorly behind, but he kept on going and more and more people started getting frustrated and confused. The class should have been smaller; perhaps half the size it was so that more time is alotted for undivided attention and one-on-one interaction with the teacher. Walter had trouble staying on topic during each class. He would start talking about his apartment, his other jobs, his hobbies, and all sorts of topics that were completely unrelated to SketchUp Pro. Then he would try to convince us to come to his studio in Cobble Hill Brooklyn to take private lessons. He was always trying to sell us something. Convince us to spend our money on him, which I would never do in the future. I feel a better teacher would have made me more successful in this course.

Could have used better organization in presentation and course content could have been covered in ONE session. Was expecting more "functional" instruction and how to best use of existing social platforms for business. Presenter was great.
