Reviews of professor Chris Collins

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Courseload was pretty average for an 8 week course, the textbook is avaliable through the Internet Archive but I'd buy it instead. Actual class was easy enough, but you can fall behind quickly if you are not on top if it.

Took his summer online course for credits. wish it was a tad less work heavy, but he taught the material and he was pretty alright. he graded pretty fairly on the papers and tried a tad to make the course interesting - if you were into cartoons or animation history. other than the twice weekly tests and 2 papers, it was pretty alright.

If you like reading 50 pages of your textbook weekly and doing essays for discussion boards take collins, but if you want a more laid back experience with this class literally take a different professor

Pretty fun class, I really enjoyed it. Didn't really interact with him until the end, a lot of reading but I actually liked the reading so it was worth it in my opinion.

If you're looking to take this class with Collins, just know that your grade relies HEAVILY on reading around 50 pages of the textbook and writing a short essay in a discussion board WEEKLY. The workload is a lot, but generally manageable (though the textbook can get dull). He responds to emails in 24 hrs and his late policy is forgiving.

pretty easy 8 week summer class. some of the discussions were long and required you to read the textbook to find answers. most of the quizzes are not hard and answers are clearly in the text or modules. sometimes he fell behind when grading so i didnt know what my grade was in the middle of the semester. easy class overall.
