Comment:
Butzel has a hard time getting to the informative part of her lesson plans. She spends more time explaining what will be discussed than actually discussing it. Make sure you know all of the key terms and types of cinema, styles, etc and an example for each, because this is what most of tests/quizzes are on.

Comment:
Prof. Butzel has a hard time articulating her point. If you are willing to ask her outside of class, or ask her to clarify, she is more than willing. It's hard to get a hold of her because she doesn't answer emails a lot of the time so if you do need help, talk to her after class.

Comment:
Absolutely Horrible... She took something I'm passionate about and turned it into the most tedious, painful to sit through experience... She forced me to decide not to major in film studies, and is part of the reason I'm leaving Clark.

She is a wonderfull person and extremely knowledgable. She provides a lot of help ouside class, and makes it very clear what is expected in asignments. But has dificulty controling her students, a lot of people tend to be rude in ehr class because she never yells at tem when they are innapropriate.

She's extremely friendly and sadly she's usually stressed out. She works hard and usually doesn't get treated well by the students in the class because most of the time they don't do the readings or the assignments.

Very nice and helpful outside of class but painfully boring classes. She.. uh.. takes.. umm.. forever to.. uh.. finish her sentences and sometime by the time she gets to the end it doesn't have anything to do with how she started it. There are less excru

She's not that bad! Her lectures may be unexciting, but boring discussion is beyond her control if no one reads. Outside of class, she is extremely helpful and will go out of her way to help advisees. She also writes very detailed and helpful comments on written work, so forgive her if she's slow.

Comment:
She teaches boring classes with long lectures that go nowhere. Often, it is hard to understand what she is trying to say. She sees art in places that I, and others in the class, failed to see art, and then penalizes for it, in the form of a grade. I can not rate Professor Butzel as a good professor.

She is so nice but SOO BORING. It's such a struggle to stay awake and interested in her classes. She's really quirky and really wants to help us learn, but fails in all aspects. If you just do the reading you can ace her class easy.

She was a horrible teacher. She is intelligent and knows alot about subject matter, but she goes on and on. She never taught us anything she planned to. Worst teacher at clark...waste of my time.
