Professor: Michael Petitti

DEPARTMENT: Thematic Option

RATE MY PROFESSOR: “My side-burned Adonis. The chili-pepper rating on this site must've been invented just to describe him. Although I only took his class freshman year, it remains to this date the best class I've taken at USC.”

Michael Petitti is an Assistant Professor of Teaching in Thematic Option. He publishes on the American cinema, and he teaches courses on film, literature, food, Los Angeles, and writing. When he’s not pretending to be a hiker, he’s usually eating a burrito and/or watching a movie.
