Bertozzi wasn't bad for 150, but man, 270 was awful!!! No matter what i did, i couldn't please her! Criticism is good to a point, but it was her way or the highway with her! I had a heck of a time with my final project. My client ended up working with me to please her! Somehow, i ended up ok in the class, but it was awful!!!
Yes, POWER HUNGRY!! After taking her class, I have lost interest in multimedia. She made her students feel stupid in front of her.
Positive:
Negative:
Confusing or hard to understand
Expectations are unclear or lofty
Notes/lecture is confusing
Poor sense of humor
Professor does not relate to students
Bertozzi is pretty frickin awesome! If you have the choice to take this class for your major or minor...DO IT!!! It's a game class so you guessed it, we play games every week. Everything from board games to video games. The only downside to the class is you have to write two 5-7 page papers and for the project you have to create a game which can add up in page length. Mine was 25 pages! Overall great class. No tests, just papers.

Two words: POWER HUNGRY. always has to have the upper hand and make sure students know their place. gets really annoying. tells stupid jokes that are kind of endearing at first, but just become irksome. very intense class for something i NEVER want to do in the future.

I've taken bertozzi for game development and she was great a lil tough, but still great. the class was a lot of fun. Only bad thing to say about that episode is that for my final project I got a 79.83%. who the hell gives someone a 79.83 would the extra .17 have caused the hell to freeze over. Any ways I now have her for senior media project. We were given a syllabus, and she isn't following her own syllabus very well. I'm holding mmy own in the class, but I've also done the electronic media senior project and those guys as quirky as they are, have their stuff together. Ahe doesn't make it very clear at all what she expects from the seniors on their projects. So good for game development. bad for senior media project.
