Reviews of professor Chris Otten

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Chris is a positive teacher. He gives constructive criticism when needed. He is very understanding. The class is not hard if you put time into it. He helped me develop my photography skills. I would recommend him.

Chris enjoys teaching photography, and he hopes students will take something meaningful from the class. The assignments focus on certain processes, but he is lenient on grading. He walks you through techniques almost step-by-step. I recommend taking him!

He gives good feedback and is very helpful teaching camera operations and how to use Photoshop and Lightroom. He does expect you to take pictures outside of class, then come to class to edit the work and show what you have been photographing.

Mr. Otten was truly amazing! This class was so fun, and I learned so much about photography and how to make great pictures even from a cell phone. He was very lenient on attendance and was more than willing to help the student. He is an amazing person, a great teacher and taught an amazing class! 10/10 recommend taking this class!

very easy going professor and creative. he's kind of awkward but thats about it. assignments are easy if you know how to use photoshop. not a tough grader but he's very detail oriented. .

Good class. He is helpful. If you aren't happy with a grade, you can redo the assignment. Even though I took the class online I learned a lot about photography.

His PowerPoints are long and boring, and he'll spend 15 minutes on one slide of one photo repeating the same thing he said on the previous slide. If you're looking for a nature/natural photography class, this isn't the one. All of the things you take photos of you have to create yourself. More of an art class. Overall just a painfully boring class.
