Kelly, Brian  

Kelly doesnt actually teach how to use the wood and metal shop tools but does assign the final project and grades everything. Kelly extendend the deadline for our final project 1 week because many students were behind, and he is always willing to talk to students even outside of office hours. While I did not think the final project ( a 10" cube thing) was interesting, I do think he is a good teacher. Overall the grading was fairly easy, and there are only 3 projects.

He gives challenging projects (way beyond what a first year would expect to do,)that involves chipboard,form-Z, and the woodshop. Let me put it this way: when the 120s were learning about the color wheel, we were at the woodshop constructing a site for our project. His approach is quite abstract, but he is also reasonably practical and sends you to the woodshop for at least one project every quarter. He assigns a lot of work, but he is not unreasonable. He gives good advice when you are stuck. And he holds a lot of crits for projects. Speak up.
