Reviews of professor Mariano Wainsztein

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
I took him for Media 180 and film 101. He is an amazing and caring professor. Media was easy class with him , easy grader as long as you participate. You have test each week but it's more like homework that you have 1 full week to work on them, you can start and pause and come back later to finish. Easy class, You don't have to do much, TAKE HIM.

seriously this is a film class I shouldn't be doing worse in this class than I am in my science courses. unclear grading criteria and gives low grades. unacceptable and honestly shocking.

Mariano was an okay professor. His grading was a little unclear. there was only one midterm, two quizzes, and a final. the class overall was a little boring but the discussions were a little interesting.

Great professor who actually teaches at a college level. Well educated man when he speaks, his class was enjoyable

Overall, he's a great professor but watch the films you're assigned because your participation is what you're graded on the most. One downside is that he is not accessible after class, forget emailing him so ask others.  I recommend purchasing the textbook if you intend on doing the extra credit based on the chapter readings.

Very simple and easy class. A lot of the material is lecture-based so try to attend most lectures. Most of it is just watching the movies so attendance is not as mandatory. Midterm and final was given but it was relatively easy as long as you kept up with the movies and lectures.

Good lectures and knows a lot about what he's talking about and will gladly answer your questions.  Easy class if you pay attention and take notes. If you can you definitely should take him.
