Reviews of professor Jay Peteranetz

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I had to rate Prof Peteranetz to show justice to the ratings given already. I came into his class without any knowledge of animating in Photoshop or AfterEffects and with his class I learned so much. He doesn't grade on how good your work is but how you understood and followed the rubric, it wasn't hard to get a good grade. He's a really fun prof.

Awesome class! Each one had funny moments and by the end every student felt totally comfortable in the room.  He allows for resubmits and will always help if you ask. The only thing I would stress is getting a Cintiq pen. He says it's optional but trust me, it helps significantly. It'll turn a ten hour project into a five hour one.

Jay is the most caring, helpful professor I have ever had. I took him first for digital illustration with absolutely no experience working digitally and by the end of the quarter, I've adopted photoshop as my primary illustration program. He is so knowledgeable about photoshop, illustrator, and after effects. highly recommend.

His blackboard is disorganized, his assignment folder and discussion boards are named the same thing so you click on one and think that's the assignment but surprise it's not and if u submit on time but only to one place he takes -25 points. 5 Minutes late is the same as 1 week late (-25) points. He goes through entire programs too fast in 1 day.

First time he taught 218 and sadly it shows. Get ready for no studio time with only lectures and demos. These are helpful but get old after the first class. His way of talking is kinda sarcastic mean which just isn't for me, but he did show genuine care sometimes. I did improve in his class, but his style of class was just not for me. Tough grader.

Hands down one of the worst professors I've had at scad. AVOID AT ALL COSTS

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
The only reason I'm rating this professor down the middle is that he forgot previous feedback he gave, so when students would implement the feedback he would act like he honestly forgot he told students to do a certain thing. Other than that, he is a great resource, and I did learn a lot. Maybe the term that I had him, something was off.

Really cool and approachable guy- he was a SCAD student so he gets it. Really comfortable classroom environment. If you listen in class and read the assignment sheets, you'll be fine. Lets you resubmit every assignment and gives valuable feedback. Only thing is he's hard to reach outside of class and OH. Easy and fun class
