    Chris was a great teacher. He is a low key dude who knows a ton about Adobe.

    I did not like my teacher. He sounds like he was very angry or unhappy. I had a hard time to ask him questions because he was very difficult to approach. He made me feel stressed. I would not recommend him as a teacher!!!

    This Illustrator 1 class covers all the basics. The teacher was very organized and clear in the explanations. It’s 4 classes so it’s not an overwhelming amount of information, but it covers enough and gives you the shortcuts to be able to use Illustrator in a basic way. I would recommend this class for anyone who wants to cover the fundamentals to use the program.

    This class was fantastic. Chris, the instructor, ran the class very well and at the perfect pace. The computer room was very nice and up to date. I loved that we got paper handouts, too. The small class size was also great.

    The instructor, Chris Papas, was not professional. He seemed to know the material (I don't know enough myself to be a judge of that-hence I was in Illustrator I). He was outright rude to students many times, seemed to despise being there. I actually continued Illustrator at a FIT competitor in the city because I didn't like him. Why should I pay to be mistreated while learning? If I knew Adobe, I wouldn't be there. Hire an instructor with a more positive and professional attitude.

    I took this class with Chris Papas and it was very well taught. Chris was a great teacher and was able to teach us a lot in just 4 classes. Every student learns at a different rate a chris was very mindful of that making sure everyone learned the lesson before moving on but still keeping those more advanced busy with other activities that they could do in order to practice their skills while waiting. I will be registering for another class with Chris for sure.

    This probably all could have been taught in one or two classes. It moved very slowly.

Question from Marlo A.
Would this class be useful if using an iPad Pro?
Answer from Brenda L. CourseHorse StaffCourseHorse Staff
Hi Marlo! Computers are provided to the class, so students don't have to bring their computers. You'll have to do the research (try Adobe's site or call them) to see if the software will work on your Ipad Pro once the course ends if you do not have a computer. Hope this helps!
