Reviews of professor Angela Pinaglia

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
I hated this course. Angela is a nice person but she should not be teaching CTM010. The class is filled with student presentations that take up all of the 1 day a week class, & most of the rest is YouTube videos. I don't understand what I'm paying tuition for if, in your own words, "this video explains it better than I can." Absolute waste of time.

For narrative film production, only half of our projects could actually qualify as narrative films. Grades seem arbitrary and if you don't appease her specific tastes she'll take points off despite everything technically working. She doesn't explain assignments and gets frustrated when you don't do what she wants. There are so many more problems.

A LOT of group projects and group presentations. I stopped reading the book cause shell cover it in the PowerPoint in class. Not too many quizzes. I started taking pics of the slides she went so fast. To be fair its a lot of content to cover and she used videos a lot, but I liked videos because its showing us the material rather than telling us.

Had her for intro to CTM fall 2018. Didn't learn anything from lectures as she constantly got off track and couldn't explain some projects without causing confusion. She is a nice person if you get to know her. If you want to pass her class though, only read the book. She blazes through lectures as fast as possible

She's the literal worst. Beware. No not approach. Rude and unapproachable.

The most confusing class I've ever taken. She is never available by email. I had no idea what to study, between the huge chapters of reading material, power point lectures, and group projects. There is too much jammed into one class and she doesn't do the best at organizing it all. She is a very nice person though.
