Awful
Professor Feori had a good heart and a kind soul. However, teaching was not so good. She's not a strong leader or can delegate the task well. She's also unorganized with assignments and any graded item. She doesn't have any fashion sense even if she's the head of the Fashion Department. She doesn't know what's going in the fashion world today. Everything that she talks about was outdated.
Average
I'm in two of Professor Feori's classes and if you want to survive, I don't recommend it. Especially if you work or you have 12 credits or more, because doing the homework takes lots of time. As a person she is okay, but I don't really learn anything from the way she teaches, it's mostly just in class discussions. You're honestly better off just reading a book.
Good
Prof. Feori is cool, but we had an insane amount of work. Do not waste your time unless this is your only class for the semester or you really live and breathe fashion. I wanted to scream and throw my machine out the window every week because the amount of work she assigns you would make you dizzy!
