10/20/08= Long Day
So yeah today at school wasn't that good. I spent all of last weekend building my art 118 basic prinsiple of design project in illstrator just to hear the teacher put it down. Even though I thought my picture got it the worst, I didnt hear that guy say anything good about anyones peice. So I dunno I am really worried about my grade now. Its like he makes you almost want to just give up altogether. Seriously I think this guy just needs to calm down a little bit. Then when I came out of class I couldn't find a pc lab with out a class in it. But then again I dont really know the campus very well. I needed to work on my art 120 project and fix the logos in photoshop. So I ended up going to CCC and did it there. So far I am happy with the result. There are some little details on the table I want to fix but I may need to do it in Photoshop. Oh and btw I dont really know how to use photoshop. Its kinda like Illstrator and Flash but there is a lot of hidden stuff I dont even know about yet.

Dear Mark, i received a letter of concern from bill lepore concerning my 120 class and mentioning your name underwriting a letter send to the deans office. Please know that if there is any issue relating to either my teaching style or teaching methods i am happy to discuss this further with you and adapt my educational approach to your needs. It would help if you can give me more specific details as to what the problems are. please feel free to come talk with me, or talk with lis or bill confidentially any time regarding the issue.
I'm a bit surprised since you never mentioned anything and we talk regularly in class -
sincerely,
lukas bertus

Hello,
My Name is Luisa Valencia and below is a copy of a letter I sent to Bill Lepore regarding a problem I had met with him for a few weeks ago. I was told by my art 118 professor, Walton Fosque to also inform you about this matter if I felt that there were no changes taking place to correct it. I would appreciate you taking a look into this matter and seeing that it gets handled properly as it has already negatively affected my Graphic Design studies here at PSU:
Hello,
My name is Luisa Valencia and I am an art student at PSU. I am currently enrolled in courses for a graphic design minor to go along with my B.S. in Painting, Drawing and Printmaking. I met with you a few weeks ago to discuss a teacher I had for my art 120 class, which is an introduction to Adobe illustrator and photo shop. The Teacher is question is Lukas Bertus, and in our meeting I had informed you of the unsatisfactory teaching methods this guy was using. You told me that if I was the only one with this opinion that there was nothing you could do but if there were other students that share my opinion that you could look into it further and perhaps find a solution.Out of 21 students enrolled in the same art 120 class as me, five (including my self) had agreed to the fallowing terms about Luke's teaching:
Lack of class structure and lectures
Lack of information for assignments
Lack of competent knowledge of the programs he is trying to teach
The five students are only my peers that I asked that have the same 118 class as me. I have a feeling that if I had asked every on in my 120 class if they agreed with me I am sure there might be a couple more people on my band wagon.
The names of the students who agree with the terms above are: Luisa Valencia, Mark Boehly, Alexandria North, Jana Hughes, and Iris Dougherty. I feel that since I almost a fourth of the class feeling the same way I do that there should be some sort of investigation as to why this was allowed to go on.
I will be sending a copy of this to Barbra Sestak, as I have been informed by my art 118 professor, Walton Fosque, that this may need the attention of the Dean. Thank you for your time and consideration, Luisa M. Valencia
