I'm Happy to Have Her as My Teacher
The video lectures are one thing. But Jane goes into better detail and describes things or shows us things that make it more understandable. She shows us detailed tricks and her notes are awesome! I’m happy to have her as my teacher! We also like a lot of the same shows, so it’s nice to be able to relate on different levels.

She encourages us to speak about our week and always asks if we have any questions, even if they are not related to animation. She gives very detailed critiques to our work.
