Comment:
Fairly knowledgeable, but extraordinarily pompous. Liked to drop names of H'wood greats he claims he knew. Could be horribly vindictive toward some students. He was once head of RTVF dept. before being ousted and I think he took out his anger over that on students.

Retired Spring 04. I guess I had a different teacher from the other raters. I loved his class - very knowledgeable about his topic. Expects you to learn.

Comment:
One of the worst professors I've ever had. Arrogant, rude, and downright petty (if he doesn't think part of a movie is funny, he'll throw you out of the class if you laugh). I was very happy when the semester was over.

Comment:
This is the most arrogant profesor I have ever had at any university. Anyone that actually has to say that he has tenure doesn't deserve it. He actually held the fact over the classes heads when he thought there would be complaints about his actions.
