Reviews of professor Chris Collins

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Mr. Collins's GD1 class was super great. His lectures were interesting and not heavy at all. The class itself was SUPER manageable. Each week, there was a discussion board post, a short test, and lectures. I highly recommend this class to anyone, even if you aren't interested in the field. He was very accommodating to extensions as well if needed.

in the summer semester, it was 2 tests and 2 essay responses to material he had up for that day and week. not way too much homework, but enough. in the online class, for me it was mostly the discussion forms that got me a good grade, plus 2 papers worth 1/6 of my grade.

I took his 8-week online GD1 course. Interesting material but many problems with his Canvas site. I was almost kicked out in the first week due to incorrect answers on his syllabus quiz. I also received incorrect grades twice due to errors on his tests. Took a long time to resolve but he sorted out everything in the end.

This was the easiest class I've ever taken. This was also a really fun class, and Professor Collins gives the best feedback on your assignments. I highly recommend taking this class and this professor as it can be used towards general ed.

Most people take this course as a GE, myself included. Easiest class I've taken at Saddleback, but was actually a lot more fun that I expected it would be! Professor Collins cares about his students a lot! Highly recommended enrolling in this class.

I took his GD1 class over the summer and it was a refreshing experience to have a class online, especially with a professor as talented as Professor Collins. He genuinely cares about the subject (animation) and is an extremely fair grader when it comes to the midterm and final. Do the weekly DBs, try on the midterm/final and receive an A.

Not a hard class, just follow the weekly discussion directions and do the assigned reading and you will do well on the test(s).

Professor Collins was a very good professor who always answered the few questions I had. It's a very easy class that's honestly a lot of fun. The only annoying thing was how many readings there were, but they were all easy.

I took this class the summer before my senior year, and I highly recommend it! You have to buy the textbook, almost every discussion and like 75% of the quiz questions are from it. It was cool to learn the history of Disney and other animation companies. There's a decent amount of writing, with only 1 discussion + 1 10 or 20 point quiz a week.

His late policy is strict. I could have gotten an A if only I responded to one more classmate on the discussion boards and the final exam barely brought my grade up, even though I got a 100/100. There was overall a lot of reading for only short discussion posts with weekly quizzes on the topic. It was mid. He is communicative though. Ok class.
