Reviews of professor Chris Otten

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Mr. Otten is probably one of the easiest graders I have had. I was surprised I ended up getting an A. I should have got a low B. If you get a lower grade, it's most likely because the quality or skills that he is looking for is not showing in the work. You also get to revise the assignments, but most students probably don't take the opportunity.

Awesome teacher! He gives good feedback and lets you rework photo assignments. The critiques are easy as long as you participate. I like his style and would take him for another class. Highly recommend Otten!

Chris loves photography and cares about his students. This was a fun class to take for a Humanities credit. You will learn a lot about photography. There were several projects to complete but easy to do. He is really cool, grades easily, and helps you if you need it.

His class is structured in a user-friendly way. If you put enough time into the assignments, they are not that hard and can be fun. Even though it may be confusing at times knowing what makes a good picture, he always stresses paying attention to things like composition and lighting. You can rework the assignments as many times as you want.

He is good at what he does and doesnt grade you based on your level of art. He looks at whether you learned the material and can show it in your work. He is a fair grader, very understanding, and gives great photography advice.

Good teacher. Works well with students to help you do your best work. Made the A I worked for.

Online based very difficult; Mr. Otten isn't a bad teacher but grades very harshly. He requires to the point for getting a full grade; so never expect a full grade; No one in my class ever did. Good luck! And it might say using a phone dosent matter but getting an actual camera matters.

Teasy A class. good to take while taking other hard classes. He is very caring and he gives you two assignments per week. one is a discussion that you must reply on thursday and by sunday you should have responded to two other class mates. The other assignment is photography photos that go with the week lectures. usually like 5 photos per week.

Two assignments a week. Can email him if you need help. Just do the assignments and you will pass.

Good professor! It is not a hard class if you read the material and ask questions. Be prepared to take pictures. He gave me inspirational ideas for my work. I found the readings helpful as well. I really enjoyed the class!

Chris tries to help people. The assignments have parameters but are open to interpretation. The rubrics are not strict. He tries challenging you to think about how you take pictures. If you can show you are trying to be creative, you will do well.
