The undersigned parties agree that is it a voluntary decision to participate and that the views and opinions expressed in this message are in accordance with their own. The signatories are enrolled in the first year of the Game Programming program at Humber College’s School of Media Studies and Information Technology, blocks A and B. This petition is in regards to the instructor of Operating Systems 1 (GAME 102), Andre Martelli.
We, the undersigned, strongly recommend that Mr. Martelli, whom is currently teaching Operating Systems I (GAME 102) to instruct first-year Game Programming courses at Humber College, including the Winter 2015 semester. We believe that he possesses great teaching aptitude and sufficient knowledge and skill to effectively instruct first year courses with great success. Mr. Martelli will contribute to the overall success of the Game Programming program, as well as to maintain its positive reputation.
Our hope in this petition is to air our grievances and to open the lines of communication between the students, faculty, and administration of the School of Media Studies and Information Technology at Humber College.
Please note, Mr. Martelli has not encouraged, influenced, or provoked such an action from students. This action has been taken on the students’ own accord, based solely on the merits of Mr. Martelli as an instructor.
Andre Martelli's class was both challenging and fair. I felt his assignments were a fair reflection and expectation in regards to what we learned in class. I enjoyed the challenge of his course and his assignments. As the semester is now over, I can fairly evaluate the course as being a teriffic learning experience. I feel that I gain so much knowledge and confidence in this class. It would be extremely beneficial, not only to me but for all students, to have this type of learning experience on a more frequent basis. Please accept my signature on this petition to support Andre Martelli's teaching method, as well as support the decision of Humber College to provide him with more teaching opportunities in the future.
