Reviews of professor Stacy Gitlin

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Editing certainly isn't for everyone, but I was expecting more of an entry level class with entry level assignments. However, every project we've gotten took me hours to comb through footage (most of which was rubbish), hours to edit, a ten min break so I could have a conniption, and then, HOURS of editing with a temperamental program; PREMIERE.

Very harsh with her grading. I had an A up until the last assignment. She is extremely harsh with her critiques. I was warned not to take her by SEVERAL different people! Stressful semester in this class, take another professor!

One of the best TVDM sports profs at MSU. Definitely take her classes. You will learn so much within a semester. She worked at ESPN prior to teaching and gave a lot of useful advice within sports television. She goes out of her way to help you with whatever you need help with whether it be shooting, editing, or writing. Shout out TBD<3

Professor Gitlin was one of my favorite professors at Montclair. She has tons of real world experience and isn't afraid to tell you the truth. Editing can be annoying but she takes the time to break down the material and teach the basics. From logging footage to L-cuts and movements. She may seem tough at first but trust me she is very nice.

She tends too be very disrespectful and belittles her students. She's been reported a few times by students for her inappropriateness. She can be cool but I think she only does it so she can disrespect later. BEWARE she tends to talk WAYYY too loud and sounds like she's yelling 24/7

Expects you to know how to edit, film, etc. coming into the class, despite there being no prerequisites. She is very condescending/rude & if you don't already have those skills, you're worthless to her. She might be the least approachable person I've met. I was warned by many before I took her & didn't listen. Save yourself. Do NOT take RHSN w/her

She is very rude to her students and belittles them. She's yelled at and made fun of multiple students. DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS. This is supposed to be an intro course but she does not teach how to do things with Premiere and ignores students that ask questions and her assignments are extremely difficult with hours on hours of work outside of class

Gitlin is a knowledgeable person that does great work in the sports world. However, as a professor she is rude and harsh. I have a hard time sitting through her class because it seems like she is constantly yelling and its a sensory overload. There is a difference between teaching and constructive criticism and just being mean.

No prerequisite, but expects you to know EVERYTHING!  Camera work, mic work, on air work, script writing, feature pitching, and video editing all things she just expects you to know how to do.  Hard personality and can come off very rude, but at the end of the day she is a sweet person.
