Joshua Williams

Nice prof, but lectures are long, and we don't spend much time practicing on Adobe. Had to teach myself a few things, and assignments required some aspects that were never taught in class, yet we were expected to know and implement them. Easy grading and very easygoing prof, just teaching method is a little frustrating. Still enjoyed the class tho!

Don't be misguided by past reviews, he really knows his stuff with Adobe and design, and assignments are all straightforward. Josh falters with the genrative AI segments of his course which have zero place in a creative course. His lectures are also far too long for the info that's shared, but he's overall pretty good.

He's a standard design professor within the creative school; however, what I disliked was the reliance on AI activities in the course, which accounted for a major part of the grade in assignments, which I found completely unnecessary. Also, even if you have a perfect design, your development and process are marked harder than the project itself.

Joshua was a fine professor, but the quizzes and assignments were more intense than in Dwight's class (students in Dwight's class were actually treated like beginners to Adobe and learned more). Joshua spent way too long on lecturing, which forced him to move quickly during the Adobe tutorials, and grading was a bit tough.

He is so unclear and a bad professor for this course! His feedbacks make no sense and no matter how hard you work on your assignments, you will end up getting a 60. When we ask him to recheck and point out his marking mistakes, he will give a complicated answer but will never tell us what's wrong! They need to get someone better for this course.

Never take this guy for CRI300. Joke of a prof and doesn't actually know how to use the programs he teaches. Run.

Pretty brutal prof with minimal knowledge of the design programs taught in this course, I'm grateful I had knowledge of the majority of programs used, I would have been so lost as I'm sure many were. Harsh grader with unclear criteria and minimal feedback. Assignment rubrics often contradict themselves, making assignment completion difficult.

If you want a real professor for a digtial design class at TMU, see Dwight Alexander. He actually knows what he's doing and isn't clueless using Adobe Software

Joshua was a very underwhelming professor. His project rubrics often contradicted themselves and significantly lacked clarity. He failed to teach students essential skills needed for assignments in an entry-level digital design clreass and frequently relied on students to help him use the software, he would wait 15+ mins until "someone got it".

He was really nice and caring when asking for extensions, he also gave insightful critiques and overall a fun course!!
