Reviews of professor Nefin Dinc

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Very project-based. We've only had 2 quizzes, a midterm, 3 video projects, and an upcoming final. She grades the hardest on the video projects.

Nefin Dinc was a pretty good professor! She's very kind and respects everyones' opinion. The class structure was set up great with a weekly quiz from the textbook (these are normally 3 questions and super easy), lecture, and screening the film in class. She is super passionate about learning and not grades so the assignments aren't worth much.

Dinc is alright. She can be picky with the outcome of group projects (with the possibility of being told to redo it) but other than that she's not bad.

Dinc is a sweetheart and very passionate which comes across in class. Each week you have a mini quiz on the chapter, a lecture, and then watch a film. The textbook is mandatory but get the online one. There is also a group project, midterm, and final, but she doesn't believe in grades defining your passion so they're not worth much.

Dinc is really friendly but be prepared to participate in class. She likes a discussion based class rather than her just lecturing. The class has four group projects, midterm, final, and some quizzes but they are all really simple. She did make me and my partner redo our whole project the night before it was due though. Overall, she is okay.

Dinc isn't a bad professor but her lectures are extremely boring and one-note. If you want to learn and talk about movies, take another class. But if you just need an elective and you already have some knowledge of film studies, just show up and you'll probably get a B

Class felt a little rushed for the last project, but Dinc listened to concerns and helped work through it. Great lectures and she has real world experience in the film industry. Gives a lot of feedback as well.

If you're looking for the easier 302 option, pick Dinc over Wright. (4 simple projects vs 8 complex) She's pretty nitpicky and particular about videos, but you'll definitely pass if you show effort. Lots of people didn't take notes during lectures and regretted it once the midterm came around. She knows and cares a lot about the field. Take her!

Professor Dinc is a great professor and her class is super simple as long as you follow her criteria. Sometimes her projects can be really specific and she can grade toughly, but if you try hard then she will give you a good grade. Solid professor for a class that can be difficult for someone that is not a DVC major.

Professor Dinc was super nice and approachable. It was a little hard to understand exactly what she wanted with some projects, but if you reach out to her and meet with her outside of class she is more than willing to clarify and give you feedback on what you can improve. Highly recommend!
