Really helpful, holds you accountable for attendance and participation. Grades based on technique and outcome, but if you put the effort in it's an easy pass.

Comment:

I can't say enough good things about Pozzi. He is a huge help when it comes to improving your artwork. If you ask a question, ask for critiques, he is all about helping. He truly cares for his students and their work. He is very accessible outside of class via email or office hours. I even got some help from him outside of the semester.

Very well respected and inspiring to many of his students. Pozzi is very accessible outside of class, even the semester, he really cares about his students and their work. He responds to email well and always finds a way to help his students improve. If you care about your work, he cares about your work. By far, he is a favorite.

Comment:

The very first assignment with Pozzi was the bouncing ball. I can't stress how much I learned using Maya and the basic principles of animation with this exercise. Pozzi designs his classes in a way where no one falls behind. He pushes students to help out one another. I enjoy his classes since he is not only funny but also inspirational.

Comment:

For 499H Pozzi became a valuable resource for a special project of mine. He helped improve my story as well as compositing better shots in my storyboard. His critiques are very in-depth. The class can be difficult if the effort is put in. Pozzi helps push your work to the limits. He is highly respectable and I enjoy every lecture he has given me.

Comment:

A main reason I decided to attend Chico State is because of the caring and inspirational nature of Pozzi during one of Chico's Preview Days. I had the privilege of having him for classes in Photoshop, 3D Animation, Concept/Storyboarding, and as an advisor for my Honors Thesis project. All his teachings will carry over well after I've graduated.

Pozzi is a highly respected instructor at CSU Chico. He definitely cares about his students and is always available to help anyone in animation, concept art, and story. He always stays late after class even if you need help. I highly recommend taking his classes and his lectures are always in-depth and he goes a good pace.

Pozzi is a nice guy, who is understanding of life hurdles. He is also an amazing teacher, after the first day of class you can tell there is a vast amount of information he has to offer you.

Not bad overall. All my projects were in the mid 80's so it's hard to do really poorly but you're gonna really have to go above and beyond to get an A on the assignments. Make sure you show up to class because if you have perfect attendance he'll bump you up a full letter grade at the end of the semester so I managed to get an A-.

He makes the class interesting for you, all the projects are fun. I didn't know anything about Photoshop and I was never really good at art either but it I learned how to us PS and made some pieces I can be proud of. Gives excellent feedback and tips if you're interested!

I really enjoyed Pozzi class and he is a kind, hilarious, and a awesome professor. I would not recommend skipping his class because he teaches new material and you wouldn't want to come to class feeling clueless and behind.

Great instructor. Explains the class and each assignment very easily. If you have a problem or don't fully understand how to do something he works with you one on one. He does an incredible job making sure no one in class falls behind. If you are struggling in his class it is because you never raised your hand. Plus he has a very friendly attitude.
