Reviews of professor Mateo Tannatt

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I took him during his first semester teaching so it may have been because he was new but he was extremely unorganized and unclear about grades, assignments, and projects. He was very flexible and understanding but almost to a fault. Everyone slacked in the class and he allowed it to happen so nobody really grew as artists.

Took Mateo for Mold Making and it was really fun. He loves what he does. He cares more about the student learning the techniques than the end result of the project. As long as you show up to class and do the projects you'll pass. I'd recommend him.

This class was an honest waste of money and time. He has a horrible attitude and would often get into arguments with students. So disappointed in CSUF for allowing this guy to be a teacher. Absolutely disappointed.

He is unorganized and loses track of time often, but also very loose with deadlines. If you are taking him for multiple classes, be prepared to repeat sculpture prompts and assignments. Mateo is the opposite of strict, if you email and communicate with him, it will take a lot off your shoulders. Generally positive feedback or helpful critiques.

Very unprofessional and unorganized. The assignments, grading, materials and such are extremely unclear. He goes on tangents about unrelated material and it forces us to rush through projects. Overall would not take again. Learnt nothing and honestly wasted my time and money.

Prof. Mateo is nice as a person. However, I would not recommend his class. I doubt anyone in my class grew as artists because he would go off tangent with critiques, he would be vague with project requirements, and the required textbook didn't give us any useful information. Also expect him to mention chairs a lot in discussions.

he's easy and very open to the students using ANY MATERIAL (chicken wire and wood mostly). Students do all the teaching and are too quiet to hear so you learn nothing CRITIQUES aren't taken seriously, falls into tangents about things people have no idea about then gives the students' work unrelated meanings the grades were unknown till the last day

Mateo is generally easy going. gives positive feedback. Can have mood changes causing extra stress in class but he usually is easy going/nice to chat with. Needs to give more detailed descriptions or a text to refer to for vocab. Otherwise, he is a good teacher.

He is very knowledgeable about sculpture because he is a sculpture himself and has had pieces in the hammer museum in Los Angeles. he is funny and understanding. take him.
