Reviews of professor Jay Peteranetz

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
His art is not impressive. He grades fairly but if you turn work in wrong he docks a lot of points. The only good thing was the community built in the classroom. His lectures are so long and they usually take up half of the class time. He told me "Georgia doesn't like immigrants" when I asked if he had any Mexican candy. Worst prof i've had here.

Jay is a great prof. This is the second time I've taken him. He's a dad of six children, so expect a lot of dad jokes. I came into this class with less experience than my classmates but he helped me understand and improve so I didn't feel behind. He gives great critique and is accessible outside of class. Lectures can be a little long sometimes.

Jay is wonderful and helped me outside of my 218 class with other projects I was working on. He was a bit lecture and demonstration heavy in class and I think that they would have been better with a projector or way to show without crowding everyone around the small table. all in all a great professor.

 He has very strict requirements and gives low grades. Even when I submit assignments exactly according to the assignment sheet, I still get points deducted.The issue is the points he deducts are often for obscure reasons like "metadata" and "Archival ready .jpgs," or "Final Illustration (.psd or .ai) ." haha

Jay is a good professor. He has gotten a lot of negativity because of his personal style which is silly. Jay is very knowledgeable on Adobe Programs and is eager and passionate to help his students. He is caring and wants his students to succeed. Jay can be work heavy but is always open to suggestions if you are struggling, you just have to ask.

He knows Photoshop very well, gives good one-on-one critique. BUT, instruction sheets give you information that merits you a C. To get an A you HAVE to THOROUGHLY read the rubric under the grades tab & 6 discussion posts per project. Gets distracted by his kids and wife daily and cancels class/meetings. Terrible with uploading Zoom recordings.

This professor actually gives amazing feedback and is a great teacher. The only complaint that I have about him is that he is snarky, and hints that the rest of the professors gossip and make fun of student work. I did not appreciate that. He also can be pretty sarcastic. Interpersonal and emotional development are lacking with him.

Jay is a great professor and I have taken two of his classes. He seems a little serious, but will answer my questions with a friendly answer. I had never studied Ae before his class and by listening to his class you will benefit a lot and I think all his class will be beneficial for future creations. His grading is objective and well organized.
