What Dimos’ Students are Saying
Best Mentor I've Had at AM
Dimos has been the best mentor I have had at AM. During class he was very good at answering student questions and gave thorough demos. Some of his demos extended the class overtime (only happened twice), but he did this to make sure students that were having trouble got an in depth demonstration. In terms of grading, he is tough but very fair. He pushes his students to up their animation game if he feels they aren’t up to their full potential.
Excellent Mentor
Dimos is a very excellent mentor. He always gives detailed feedback. He’s been very helpful, giving us demonstrations and Maya tips. He encourages us to always ask questions or concerns related to our assignment. One thing I also like about the way he teaches/does the QA because he makes us feel comfortable in class, which I think is very helpful for students to get more involved.
Very Upbeat and Postive
Dimos is a very good mentor. He is very upbeat and positive when giving critiques even if there are things that need to be changed or something was done wrong, he gives the critique in such a way that it does not get anyone down and actually motivates the student to make changes.
