Reviews of professor Stuart Maclelland

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
He gives students their opportunity to film how they would do it and then will do a critique and completely redo and help you make it better or just do it his way. I thought they were eye opening changes but some students hate his takeovers. He means well and will give you so much advice/easier grading if you just talk to him & learn the basics.

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Overall, Stuart is a fine professor. He knows the info and does teach the class. Only complaint I would have is his grading crieteria, as it is almost impossible to get an A. Graded off of 5 assignments.

Nice and good-humored, but clearly doesn't have much experience teaching. Won't give feedback or even grading criteria for in class projects until after you've finished the filming. Needs to work on explaining the in class projects in detail before production day. Has a tendency to take over a student's project, and side line them.

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Grading criteria for this class came out of nowhere, project requirements were not explained clearly, totally rips apart a student's project and attempts to create a new one which most of the time is worse off than what was originally recorded. He will answer your questions but will not give you any feedback or advice. Not a bad class though.
