Great professor, very helpful. He does challenge his students and the workload can be a little heavy sometimes, but you learn so much. Definately take Pete's class, he was very encouraging and helped me develop a great deal as an artist. Really great guy.

Comment:

Really great professor for animation. He's interested in your learning, your work, and how you can grow artistically. His assignments are ALWAYS clear and he's always willing to explain anything you might be confused on. Though the projects can seem easy at first, they grow more complex as the semester continues.

I am very glad to have a professor that has such a planned out schedule for a class and even has a full-functioning website that guides us through each week with complete tutorials and resources. He explains everything very thouroghly and makes sure students gets the concepts and creates on-line tutorials if you didn't get the concept in class.

Comment:

He is the best DIGM teacher I have had so far. He knows what he's talking about and has all his classes planned. His critiques are straightfoward and actually helpful! He tells you exactly what you need to work on and doesn't give you all the "well it's a nice try" crap. His personality is lacking but the quality of his teaching makes up for it.

Comment:

Yeah not much of a talker but I think I've heard a joke or two come out of him. You have to get to know him. Do your sh*t and turn it in on time and he'll be fine. Super technical, he's one of the few Digm teacher that knows what the f@ck is up. You can learn a lot from this guy one you get past the ice wall.

i think he needs a hug...or a beer, i cant tell. But needs to learn to smile, and have fun with the students. hes been helpful to me, and advised me well, but most of the time thats not all a student needs.

The Al Gore of professors. Like sitting down and talking to a psychiatrist. No personality. Does it affect his teaching ability? You bet it does. Who interviews the people that teach at this place?

Very Clear and understandable. He taught concept and the program. The projects were interesting and I feel that I'm leaving with something I could use in my portfolio. Best teacher I have had so far in this school.

Completely disinterested in classes. Not a very clear idea of what class was going to be until it was over. You're left with a feeling of Why did I pay for that?

Comment:

Great deal of knowledge and skill, but seems to be too detached from his students and more focused on his interests than the departments. I did not care much for his teaching style, for it was based more on research than learning or applying hard skills.
