Reviews of professor Brett Wagner

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Professor Wagner offered a lot of constructive criticism which I can be scared of, but I learned through him that it was very valuable. I did not have any film experience coming into this class but I feel as though I learned a lot from him. Very great teacher overall.

You get treated like you're supposed to know everything up until a 2 or 300 level Film course, and the expectations set are horribly unrealistic. SCAD makes other majors take film 100, and his class is not friendly! He doesn't teach fundamentals well and does not prepare you well. If there are concerns about safety or treatment, he will ignore you.

Very unclear expectations on the projects.
Professor Wagner is a great director, but if you are looking or for different areas you are not going to learn much on his class. He expects students to know a lot of things that you most likely won't, considering it's an intro class.
All things considered, just do your wrk and you'll get a good grade.

I had Professor Wagner for film 100 as well and loved him! He gives great feedback on his scripts in person and makes sure that his students participate in critiques. I wish he would justify his grading... sometimes it isn't quite clear what he is looking for overall when you submit. But I think he has great ideas and solutions and really cares!

He's extremely well-prepared and obviously cares about teaching. Very inspiring. Also, rolling due dates are the best.

Professor Brett Wagner is a new teacher but is very knowledgable and nice. He needs a bit more time to become a great teacher but I am very happy having had him. He is always willing to help and wants to see his students succeed.

This professor usually teaches senior courses, and his expectations for the intro level class of FILM 100, especially when not all of them are already experienced filmmakers, are incredibly unrealistic. For our script writing, hes expecting a level 232/341 quality writing, and we haven't even taken preproduction or dramatic writing! Ridiculous.

Pretty good at creating a professional work environment and very laid back. I only wish that the class was a little more structured with deadlines since he seemed to treat them as more of a "soft deadline" than legitimate ones. Gave good feedback to scripts though. I'd probably take him again if given the option.

I enjoyed having Wagner for the most part, I think he had some planning issues and expects a lot from students who for the most part have no experience but he was constructive and did his best to help everyone individually.
