If you want a good ENV (or any GD) class, find another prof... my class spent the semester trying to figure out what our final project was, and by the last class we still hadn't figured it out. He didn't give us any clarification along the way and had us work in circles, redoing what his other (unrelated) class had done the past semester.ARTG4553 2016-05-02 13:03:37 +0000 UTC
Very information. Doesn't always give immediate feedback, but always willing to work with you and has your best interest in mindFUND1 2009-03-31 11:23:02 +0000 UTC
i had chris for a digital representation class, and i totally agree, he assumes you know things that you don't. he is less interested in your design and more concerned with the programs, which is understandable because that's what the course is about, but he is not clear on what he wants, not a good learning environment.DIGREP 2009-01-09 17:22:50 +0000 UTC
I completely disagree with whoever said Chris doesn't explain things. Yes, he does do software 'tutorials' for entire studio classes, 3 sections at a time so he can't really answer everyone's question b/c it would take too much time...you just have to go clarify and he will help you and show you step by step. PS Chris can fix any software issue!ARCU257 2008-12-19 18:42:11 +0000 UTC
Very cool, laid back. Great if you are involved an ask questions but can sometimes assume you know things you might not. Expects hard work, but isn't unrealistic. Great guy.DES312 2008-11-06 12:48:19 +0000 UTC
Chris is awesome! He's a nice guy with a good sense of humor, but the class is pretty independent and difficult. Obviously requires a lot of time input but the atmosphere of studio is overall funARC256 2008-10-30 21:48:38 +0000 UTC
he would tell you to do something on one of the programs and never explain it to you then you would spend 4 hours that night doing it and when u get to class he shows you how to do it so it only take 3 seconds... it was not a fun courseARCU151 2007-08-24 19:48:58 +0000 UTC
