very unclear on grading criteria and critiques your work based on his person preferences... Completely ruined my enthusiasm on every project. DO NOT TAKE

Professor Witte is a hard but fair professor. I had him on an online class and it seemed no matter what time of day you asked him for help, you got it! The class is hard but he gives a lot of great, timely feedback but makes sure you participate for if you don't that's what kills you. The more questions you ask the easier it is!

Professor Kirt is one of the best Ive had! He pushes us to do our very best and Ive gained a lot of knowledge from this course! Hes very professional and clear with instructions! The assignments kept me engaged and it was really fun to learn about all of the software apps! I will definitely be recommending him to other students.

This is what online education is supposed to be. Prof Witte was always there. He responded to all drafts in 24 hours or less. Very specific instructions for revision. Good insights on the work and on being a professional. Fast grader and fair. Great sense of humor. Highly recommend.

One of the best professors. I am surprised to see his low rating. If you notice majority of them say he is a tough grader etc etc. Well let me explain if you do the work take his feedback you will excel in his class. He pushes you to be the best. He prepares you to be ready for the industry and not be a snowflake.

I like Kirt. He acts like an actual professor who pushes people beyond expectations. I admire how he weeds out those who aren't passionate. I admired the roster slowly getting smaller as the projects got harder. Is vague with his feedback, but what do you expect. He isn't gonna hold your hand. Not enough room for cry babies in this industry. :)

Comment:
Kirt Witte is an awful professor here at SCAD, he doesn't make his expectations clear for the projects that he assigns and then continues to mark projects down according to his unspecified expectations. Overall I would advise finding a different professor other than Kurt Witte, because he has negatively affected my experience at SCAD.

Like others have said, he is a little harsh and really tough when it comes to grading. I managed to get an A+ for this class, but I had to work on my projects every day and for the maya unit about 5 to 6 hours a day. Make sure to read everything he posts even though it's long and follow instructions to a T. Formatting can take points off!

Despite everything people say about him, he is a very serious and tough grader, but he is doing it in the most professional way possible, and i personally like that part of having him. He really knows his stuff in the industry so i trust his judgement and his process of grading. Expect a lecture every class for the entire time too. Manage your time

Comment:
He gives some harsh comments which I stopped reading by the end of the quarter because I did not want to feel put down. You will get a lot out of the class if you are not very familiar with Maya and the Adobe cloud, if you are familiar with these the class will be easy if you put the work in. The first few weeks are the hardest.

Comment:
K. Witte is very knowledgable, but his comments often come off as rude and snobby. He is very quick to tell you what you did wrong and how you supposedly missed the point, but doesn't always give positive feedback. Also, he writes a whole book of instructions for each assignment.

He is very unprofessional. He has said many rude things, and although he gives lots of promot feedback it is rude and condescending. I love SCAD but this is the only class EVER i have not enjoyed whatsoever.

Prof Witte is great,he clearly explains the requirements for his projects, make sure to read all of his announcements and you will be fine. He is very engaging in the class, gives a good straightforward feedback,never saw a rude comment from him to anyone unless pointing out exactly what should be improved is considered to be rude. You learn a lot.

I'm surprised at the negative feedback. I had this instructor for an online computer application class and I found him to be reasonable, straightforward and engaged. He responds to emails really quickly, too.

Comment:
Professor Witte takes off a random number of points for each flaw in your project. For example if you submit a PDF and he does not like the edges of the canvas showing he may say "-10" he may say minus "-5". Very picky, yet does not explain what he wants. I have never failed a class before and maintained a 3.4 until this class despite my efforts.

THE. WORST Professor I've ever had in my 3 years at SCAD. Very rude to students while giving feedback, to the point of it not even being helpful, sometimes it's just plain degrading. I had A throughout the whole quarter and still hated his class. He also gives lectures for 2h 30min straight WITH ZERO BREAKS. Avoid at all costs

Comment:
Terrible teacher; didn't care about the students at all. I had technical issues with one project but kept him informed while I worked with the school's tech support team. Still gave me a zero; took my grade from A to C on last project. I also felt bad for some students because he would write rude and degrading comments to them for everyone to see.

Comment:
As other people have said, he can be rude when giving feedback. He can also be pretty unhelpful, but he will tell you in your in-progress what needs to be fixed before you turn it in. (Just won't say HOW to fix it.) I had no previous experience with these applications and still made a good grade in his class. Overall, I feel I learned a lot.

Comment:
If you take his advanced CMPA class, he expects you to already have at least a little bit of experience with the programs used (maya,photoshop,illustrator, dreamweaver,after effects). Doesn't mince words & is very straightforward with criticism. However, he does provide video tutorials and course supplements. Wasn't the worst class ever.

Horrible professor. Will not work with you to help you learn or get better, very snarky and rude whenever he can be, awful teaching skills! I have never dropped a class before, but I just simply couldn't take him anymore. DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASSES.
