I think it was quite an interesting course. Not the greatest, but not every class will be. The workload was heavy due to the heavy emphasis on reading and finding scholarly resources to use in your essays

This course is mostly made up of essays where you look at an analyze various facets of graphic design, such as typography, historical propaganda and advertising posters, etc. There will be a semester long project where you have to compare two designers

There wasn't much to say about the professor as this was an online asynchronous course, but she did her best to answer questions over email.

You will be doing a LOT of research such as looking through the library or using their online database to look up the people you have chosen

This class could have been interesting and important, if it had been organized and taught in a professional manner. The Prof seems to simply not care about his students whatsoever. There is little to no translation between the course content and the exams. The in-tutorial activities are interesting but they are graded arbitrarily by TA's who seem to have no direction. They do not relate enough to the final exam or the midterm. One basically has to teach themselves the entire textbook and lecture material to even do decently in this class.

Sean O'Brady seems to care more about tricking students in the final exams than actually teaching them the content. One of the questions on the final really baffled me. The question was not about the content itself but about having every miniscule and insignificant detail of the case memorized. You could understand and apply the entire concept but if you don't remember one tiny detail then you will be docked a point.
