“My favorite thing I learned was all the different jobs in the publishing industry and their specific tasks. It was super helpful and gave me a ton to think about.” – Logan, Pub I
“I loved how hands-on and collaborative many of the assignments were. Being able to share and get feedback with someone else to spark creativity and challenge my conceptions of what my art can be or do. It also taught me what kinds of feedback are most helpful for me.” – Sam, Pub I

“I love how you love teaching. This class was so enjoyable. Thank you” – Pub I Student Evaluation
“I really appreciated how friendly and fun Rebecca was! She was so good at keeping our class engaged, communicative, and productive, and I really felt like she cared about my wellbeing. She was so understanding toward her students and their needs which didn’t go unnoticed. I also really loved how she fostered our creativity. Having a couple classes to just write with prompts or that day we did arts and crafts was so good for my mental health. Rebecca’s class has been one of the best classes I’ve taken this semester, and I plan on taking her Publishing 2 class next semester, purely because I had such a good experience with her, and I want her to be my teacher again.” – Pub I Student Evaluation
“I had so much fun! I think the class environment was great and it was so easy to work with everyone involved. The learning often felt like a group effort, brainstorming off of one another and collaborating, and I loved that.” – Pub I Student Evaluation
“I really enjoyed this course and it has opened my eyes to all of the possible roles in publishing. The instructor is very kind and understanding toward students, and her exercises can be very therapeutic for stressed minds.” – Pub I Student Evaluation
