Comment:
Ross is one of the best professors at UD. He makes complex film theory seem so clear. He's so nice, approachable, fun and smart. He's like your cool uncle that you want to hang out with. I wish I had taken more film classes with him. Such a nice and smart man. If you're a film concentration make sure you take him!

Comment:
Ross is one of the best professors I've at UDel. I really just cannot beginning to say enough good things about him. Class was only 4 papers and he gave us extensions when he could tell we were all under stress. Class discussions are incredibly interesting and you'll never watch a film the same way again. Very helpful as well. Quite simply the man.

Comment:
Ross was awesome! He enjoys film a lot and really enjoys teaching about it. 1 paper, 2 tests, and 3 short film projects, which were really fun to make. Test were a little bit hard, mostly because he gives so much information during class and can't fit all of it on an exam, so it is hard to figure out what is and is not going to be on the test.

Ross is a very interesting guy. He's funny and makes his lectures entertaining. I loved watching the great films that he showed once a week (meets separately from class) and he opened my eyes to the actual techniques used in filming. However, his tests were difficult, vague, and there were few opportunities to raise your grade.

Comment:
Had Ross for 3 film classes- 317, 318, and 417. Unfortunately he only taught for half of the semester for 417 as he had health problems. Great professor and great lecturer. Every class is entertaining and you always leave with new information. Assignments are 2 papers (option to write a 2nd paper or double the 1st paper grade) and 2 tests.

Definitely take him if you get the chance. Class was very interesting but slow at times. Ross is hilarious which helped time go by, somewhat disorganized, but still a great prof.

Wonderful, charismatic professor. However, don't be fooled by his charm-- his class isn't a breeze, but it's not grueling either. I recommend him-- take a class with him, you'll have a great time.

I've had him for three film classes, and he's fabulous. Don't be fooled into thinking his classes are easy (unless you're well schooled in Freud and Lacan), but he's hilarious and an excellent prof to have. Very helpful too, always willing to talk to students. He gets to know his students too. Also did study abroad with him-so much fun!

Without a doubt the best prof I've had so far. Hysterical lectures and overall just a great guy. Class isn't hard, just follow his tips for writing, and there really is no need to buy the books.
