Comment:

Prof Luciana is a nice man & when he helps you, he gives good advice. But only if he helps you which is rare because he's incredibly forgetful. When you ask for feedback and follow through he never checks back up on you & you're stuck waiting for him. He kept me from getting deans list and I'm pissed. Who gets an A- in photography?

Comment:

Dig Photo 1 was so easy with Luciana. He's pretty funny and gives good feedback on your photos. Although as a digital photography class, I wish that we could have spent more time learning about our cameras like he promised instead of on Photoshop. So class time was really boring. Easy A!

Comment:

Luciana is great. Photo I isn't very hard and you learn A LOT. Photo II is more independent and builds off of what you learned. All you need for a good grade in either is an interest in photography, time management, and a decent attention span. He is more than willing to help you and wants you to enjoy the class and produce quality photos.

Comment:

Luciana is the sweetest professor in the department. He is honestly the nicest professor I've ever had! He's always willing to help you and answer any questions you have. He doesn't count attendance and gives a lot of time during class to work on assignments. His assignments don't even have due dates! Hes so precious and I'd take him for any class!

Comment:

Prof. Luciana is the nicest, most helpful, laid back prof I've ever had. I've never ever seen him have a mood swing, he's almost like a father figure to his students, everyone loves the guy and hes always there to help when you need it and has lots of office hours if needed as well. A real asset to Marist and the Art Dept.

Great teacher, incredibly knowledgable. Willing to work closely with students and push them to develop their work. Has very interesting project topics and gives considerable room for interpretation for the student to develop from.

Great guy. Does his best to be helpful. Will explain almost anything about Photoshop to you if you ask him. All of his assignments weren't due till the final, which can be either a good or bad thing. Definitely take if you enjoy photography.

Do not take this class if you are a fashion major. If you can wait until the department makes its own digital media course, it will be better for you. I did learn a lot, but not enough in photoshop. He is very helpful!
