ITAL189X . Fogu C 6 Years Ago

Going to lecture is important. He follows the reading and makes it clear what each concept is about. I've taken multiple classes with Fogu and if you go to class, you will pass. The midterm was ID's, online quizzes based on reading, and a final paper. He is an awesome professor and really wants students to succeed. Go to his office hours!

Ngl I love this man DOWN. he doesn't share lecture slides but he records all of lectures and posts them. He is super understanding and very caring. We had one in person bluebook midterm and one take at home essay final. He graded everything very fairly! He's such a sweetie

One of the strangest classes I have ever taken. When asked about assignment criteria or rubric he often replied "I don't know yet" and "we'll see." Its difficult to do well on assignments without clear expectations. Lectures dragged on without a clear direction and the slides were not shared.

Professor Fogu is a good guy. Puts a lot of effort into his lectures, and will go very far into depth about questions asked. The tests were hard, but by no means unreasonable.

Took Pass/No Pass. Professor Fogu is really cool and passionate. Go to office hours! Lectures can be hard to understand bc he uses very complex language, only clarifies if you talk to him one on one. Quizzes every week on the movies (3Qs) and a midterm essay and a final (which is quite hard) shows sequences from any movies and u write about them.

ITAL124X . Fogu C 1 Year, 9 Months Ago

his slideshow are not helpful at all. they are super confusing, unorganized, and way too simple for the amount of material he gave us. you really have to stay on top of the readings and teach yourself a lot of the material. he is kinda all over the place and made a lot of mistakes on canvas. he's nice but just makes things confusing
