Super funny and loved his class but hated the way he had us take notes! He would read them as if he was reading a story and would go fast. Other than that no complaints at all!

The best class I ever had General Education wise. All we did was watch movies, and write reviews about them! The only hard part was trying to find out what you would eat the night of his class. Miss the class now that I'm at SDSU. One of my favorite professors, even though he definitely wasn't at the time.

If you are ready for a fun class with opportunities to learn new skills and laugh at his stories, take this class. I think I lost track of the times I laughed at his stories. We also watch movies, so we can learn more about the sound design that goes into the movies.

He's an OKAY Professor. It's been nearly 6 weeks since he gave us back our test scores. To add on, all we do is watch movies in the class. To some, it may seem like an awesome class, mostly because we're just pissing time away. Take someone else, it will be worth your while.

I took his class to clear my humanities portion of my general ed. It was a fun class, we watched movies and make a review about it. There are 3 tests which are based on the book. Our final was a 4+ page paper of your favorite movie. Easy A. He also gives info on whats going to be on the test.

Comment:
If you're taking this class simply for general ed he's a good choice. You might learn a bit and will easily get a A, but if you, like me, want to pursue Journalism or any related field then I would suggest another professor. I did not learn anything from his class which is a shame. He is a cool dude but this class wouldn't be well suited for all.

I went from 3 different majors in Grossmont College. I had no idea what I wanted to do until I had entered Professor Papageorges class for this second semester. He is so inspirational to me and whats a curse word here and there? Im sure you hear it all the time anyways. Hes very clear on what he wants for his assignments, he is amazing!

Had him for a night class once a week, and it was super easy. He ranted on about what would be on the tests, so that called for an easy A. Does like to jump topic to topic. To better understand the subject at hand, some of our nights consisted of watching a movie, listening to music or watching a couple of t.v episodes. was fun and very laid back!

He talks and talks and talks about random topics, even during movies and quizzes. It's an easy A and he's at least entertaining, but it can be frustrating if you actually want to learn something about the subject. Short papers for each movie (all due on the last day of class), 3 quizzes, and a 4-6 page final paper on a film of your choice.

His sense of humor is completely uncensored, so beware if you are easily offended. If you can handle that, he's a fantastic teacher. This class is an easy A if you have common sense and can handle writing a one-page paper each week. He says you NEED the book, but you really don't. You'll laugh, you'll cry; this class will probably change your life.

Outstanding class. Not only does he make the subject matter interesting, he is also a genuinely good person. This is the first class in my life I have ever stayed after just to get to talk to the professor. It's only an A if you get the book, come to class and do the assignments. The quizzes are from the text- so get the book. All time fav.

Easy and BORING. He just talks and talks and talks, then puts on a boring film. I literally went to two classes all semester. I did all the work, and still received a B. I wouldn't recommend this class, but it's an easy A/B to help the GPA.

Get ready for endless politically/socially charged rants, and if you're a stubborn fighter like me... you'll have an interesting semester ahead. Ultra easy A+. Ready the book. Write the papers. Maintain your zen when he's talking about guns and presidents, and you'll sail through the semester. Note: swears a lot. Not for the P.C. students.

Amazing man, the best teacher I've ever had; loves the subject so much that it becomes fun to learn and want to learn. He does get distracted with random stories from the new (i.e. weasel flying on a humming bird or llama escapes), but is very enjoyable to listen to.

So here is the deal, he's a pretty laid back professor who goes off on tangents and pretty much performs his lectures. It seems crazy and as if you're not learning. I retained pretty much everything he lectured on & it 's because of his lecture style. So if you actually want to learn something and get an easy B if not an A then take him! Fun class!

i took his night class and always tended to fall asleep, you can be late to the class because in the beginning we would just talk and then the rest is just the movie. He tells you what is on the quizzes before coming up, if you are not a fast writer then record what he is saying, he is funny and you need the book! Lastly extra credit is offered.
