You guys! This is serious!

Everyone rants and raves about how important our feedback is...



Yet this ^ teeny little box is the only 'non-scripted' portion of any art class course evaluation i have ever taken. I know for a fact that faculty have the option to customize and expand on the specificity, number of text boxes, and specific questions on the evaluation. In my opinion this lack of diligence hints at the actual (un) importance.

Want to know what the University thinks of course evaluations?

BUSTED!!!! TMP Plagerizers 2009

I'm glad someone is stepping up and taking responsibility for the work created here, in this case Dean Mary Schmidt. To the heroic anonymous reporter who snapped all these pics before the signs got removed (and submitting them here) thank you. Update: Read the comments for the full story! 

TMP Plagiarism irony

TMP or CFC posters posted in the street gallery. Image stolen from the Facebook Album "last day of art school!" by Zenobie Cornille. I really hope this was a strategically placed poster made by someone who saw the amount of plagiarized images (or at least not cited at all) in the street gallery, more info on this is pending. If you know more about this comment below! Included below are the images that this particular artist Photoshoped for their poster.

Take Venturelli if you can....

 Always impressed with the work I see posted outside Venturelli's classes. I think this assignment was copying from an inspirational artist of choice. They are well executed portfolio pieces, and make the entire school proud! (Someone correct me on the assignment).
