Actually, I have taking many course other than this Maya Course. Since my job is design, I think this course could help me in designing things. I put my whole heart in it to study and bought some books to read...and recorder to record the professor's speech.
I agree with that in City there are good teachers and TAs...but sorry, the one teaching mine I dont think he is really good at all......I am not challenging his skills in 3D....i am chanlleging his attitude to students are not fair to all. I respect him much every time I ask him question with polite manner, however what i get is few words explaination.... and even though i move back to let him work on my computer.....he will stop 1 miter away from desk and asking me to hit the key on keybroad without really explain why hit that key(if i dont ask him)!
Actually my techniques is better than many people next to me. However, I get really upset coz i can feel the professor really doesn't like me much..... I dont know why... but for this case I can see he is picking student to teach...it's not about you are boy or girl......but it's about he likes u or not. I dont know why he dislike me much maybe i ask him too much things when the course just begin. Well anyway, I am not expecting to have Hollywood standard here.....so dont bullshit i haven't say I want to acheive this! I am just wanna get what i pay to get! This is what the course objective is. Actually, the thing i learn in 3d now is mostly i read from books by myself.
I post this message here is not becoz i wanna against a person, but I just want to tell other people who like taking maya, they should find a good place. A good place doesn't means a university must have good teaching enviroment. It's really depends on which professor is teaching you. Also, wanna let City U knows that they should pay more attention to TA and Professor. So the students feel more satisfy after taking this course.
