I graduated years ago, but while I was there I worked in the equipment office. At least three times I can recall, she couldn't make one of her classes on short notice. I stepped up and basically taught the classes. I had a student come up to me afterwards to say that she learned more from me in that one class than she had learned from Marta the entire semester. I honestly don't know why after all these years she is even still there.

I totally agree. I can't even understand what she says in class, and her main focus is always documentaries.
If she can barely teach 300 level courses, how do you expect seniors to take a 400 level course with her. Students getting jobs will decline after this switch off it occurs

Marta is certainly not the best choice for a class so vital to any student of film. Her ideas of the medium are outdated and frankly a majority of high school students interested in film could probably produce a more coherent and aesthetically pleasing documentary. She cares about her students but isn't capable enough to teach a college level class comprised of serious film students.

As a Digital Filmmaking alum I'm surprised this is still an issue with the current students because we brought up this same concern many times when we were still there. Best of luck to you guys, you really deserve a great professor for your Senior Project.

Marta Bautis is my advisor and I have never received any useful advice, but was terrified for several years that if I didn't go she'd fail me in her documentary class. Her methods of grading are not based academically but on her personal perception of the student and she is spiteful against those who speak out against her. I would not wish her upon any of the younger students, especially not such an important class as Senior Project.

Professor Scott is the better choice to run this class. Him and Tobin Addington are the only reason I haven't dropped out of this college.

Agreed that Marta lacks the necessary technical knowledge to teach this course, she in fact ruins any production related class (ask any Doc student). I also agree that a professor such as Neel Scott is an excellent choice as I had him for my senior project.
Not the best choice
I whole heartedly agree with this petition.

I couldn't agree more with this petition.
