I recently concluded my third term of teaching, and as is tradition, I’d like to share some of the “reviews” I received from my students:

• Mr Merino is a very good instructor I don’t see how he could be a better teacher
• The best instructor I have had in the past two terms I been coming here to IADT, he make learning in his class fun and takes the time to help you one on one!
• He makes sure that lectures are explained thoroughly and will attend to anyone needing more help.
• It shows that he enjoys teaching.
• His class was awesome when I payed attention and decided to finally stop playing words with friends on my ipod. On the real side it was a very fun class and taught me a lot and I was able to be very interactive with my peers. And he has the cutest baby girl!! Two thumbs up!!
• you should provide food for the last day
• Luis is a very epic guy. He cracked jokes a lot and made the class fun for everyone. One time he even gave me change for a $5 bill. He always gave the class an appropriate amount of time to finish all projects. He expected just as much as he should for new college students to learn the material. I wish I could have him for every class. (:

My scored evaluations were thus:

• GRAPH160: 100%
• DESIGN140: 96%
• GRAPH110: 98.5%

Now, I don’t share this stuff because I’m trying to brag… to be honest, I’m just really proud of myself. I work really hard to create a class that’s challenging, but fair… fun, yet focused… and it’s so fulfilling to have that hard work be acknowledged and pay off.
