Comment:

This class is really fun. Most of the homework is watching a movie and doing an easy discussion post (100 words). There's some textbook reading but it's all pretty easy vocab. Just show up to class and do the online discussion to get your participation credit. If you go to CLUE sessions you get extra credit but still easy to do well without it.

Great prof, first film class for me. He taught some difficult sections, but he was cool and approachable. More so than his partnered prof, but they were both great!

Love Andy! It took me a bit to get used to his off-the-cuff, occasionally jumbled, way of lecturing, but I came to realize that he is a really nice guy, and very passionate and knowledgeable about film. He's not at all arrogant, and has a good sense of humor. I would definitely take another class with him.

Nice enough professor. 3 15 question multiple choice tests with an extra credit point at the end. 4 1-2 page papers about films, and one final 6-8 pager about a random prompt covering readings and film. Not a very fun class for someone not interested in film.

Comment:

This class is totally relaxing and full of fun class discussion. Andy is extremely nice, and knowledgeable about Scandinavia and is always willing to share his knowledge. However, sometimes he can be hard to follow due to his random speech patterns and filler words; just something you have to get used to. Fun prof, easy class.

Comment:

Professor Nestigen's class was so much fun! Homework was reading novels about crime fiction and then class is all about discussing what we read. He is very laid back and encouraging. You can tell he is there to learn from you as well and values your opinions in class. I recommend any class he teaches.

Ok his class is very boring. Get the hell out why you still can. I fell asleep all the time. The readings were stupid and useless. Do your self a favor, if your interested in film take something different. Unless you want 10 weeks of hell...

I took Finnish 101 and 102 with Andy, as he was known back then as a grad student. I would love to travel to Finland at some point; Andy was very inspiring and clearly masters and is literate in the Finnish culture and language.
