Comment:
I personally liked Dr. Rapf although she's nothing special. The readings taught me more than she did; she mostly just repeated what the readings said in class. No one could seem to get an A on their writing assignments but I did, and I don't know why everyone thinks she's so hard. Just think deeply about the films and don't get on her bad side.

Comment:
I learned next to nothing in this class. Rapf was VERY opinionated and cared only about her own opinions. She was too harsh of a grader and assumes we all think the way she does. Literature should be about your own personal interpretation not just a set standard as she believes. I would never take her again.

Comment:
Loved professor Rapf! She definitely wasn't easy, but if you keep up with the readings and really give your best effort, you can definitely make an A. She's also really helpful if you ever have questions and she curved all of my classes grades at the end! I made a 70 on her final and still got an A! Professor Rapf Rocks! I learned so much from her!

Comment:
I took Film Narrative. She is extremely passionate about the films, but she expects the class to know more about film making than they actually do. You write a lot of papers but as long as they improve each time you will get an A. Improvement is all she cares about which was really nice!

LOTS of writing. but the films are great and she has a great enthusiasm for them. Read the packets and book as she references them many times.

Taking her class was truly a pleasure. She was very kind professor and very enthusiastic. It is a quest or a journey, so to speak, and that was what made the class worthwhile. Meanwhile, learning is happening, even if you don't realize it. She really opened up the works we studied to me in a whole new way. She is an asset.

Comment:
This **** assisted the chairman in ruining my graduate career at OU. Make no mistake--she will stab you in the back even if you make an A in her class--which I did. As a teacher, she is mediocre at best. She roots AGAINST our athletes, esp. the football team. Should have been fired years ago.

Pushes opinions on students. Assumes a lot about students backgrounds. Doesn't want students opinions, but reguritated references to the reading over all.

My experience in Dr. Rapf's class was less one of learning and more one of sharing a journey or quest, if you will. I found it both noble and inspirational to aid her on her struggle toward understanding the English language so painfully late in life.

She is so knowledgeable and excited about this topic. I came away with a deep appreciation for some of these actors, never having been exposed to them before. There is a LOT of writing, but she tells you up front, so it's not a surprise. You can't do it the night before, so be prepared.

Dr Rapf is a great teacher. She tells you what is expected and if you do what you are told, you are rewarded with good grades. Lots of writing but very detailed descriptions of exactly what is needed. lots of extra credit. GREAT TEACHER!

she IS really into what she is teaching and that makes me interested too. i have learned alot and she is respectful of students, but doesn't just go along with whatever you say. she questions your thoughts and encourages you to dig deeper.
