Comment:
He talked a lot about his dead cat while we were in person for the first few weeks. Once we transitioned to online, he wouldn't let me into any of the zoom lectures and was incredibly unresponsive when I emailed him about it.

He is a great guy and gives students lots of chances to pass. You honestly can't fail the class unless you don't do anything and put in a little effort.

Comment:
if you do the work (you can do work ahead of time if you know one week will be more difficult than another) this course is an easy A. However you have to do the work. If you complain that you hate this class then you clearly didn't do the work. Just do the work and hand it in on time.

Comment:
Gonthier is self-obsessed. During "class discussions" he would only talk about his opinions. All of the work was saved for the second half of the semester, which made it more stressful. What we did in class did not relate to the assignments. Very frustrating, even though I did well.

Gonthier's a weird guy, but he's really nice and helpful. I find that talking to him outside of class was better than the in class discussions.

Gonthier is a good guy. His class is long and boring, but you registered for it so quit your ****ing. It's easier than most classes if you just stay on top of it. Two tests and a paper that you get to rewrite is not bad at all. Also if you go talk to him in person you'll find that he wants to help and he wants his students to do well, afterall it

Comment:
He is a poor teacher. If I wanted to hear someones review of a movie I would go to imdb or rottentomatoes.com, I was under the impression that I was going to learn how to analyse and appreciate the greater aspects of film. Very cocky and hypocritical with grading essays (don't ever disagree with him) disagreements = automatic grammer errors-50pts

This man is a tool who loves to hear himself talk. He thinks that he is an English professor when he does not grasp the structure of a simple essay and/or grammatical concepts.

Comment:
Gonthier is an outstanding film teacher. I agree that at times he does come across as confident but only because this is his field of expertise. I would recomend him for a film course to anyone. You have to put in effort but isnt that what college is about? Wouldn't you rather earn an A than just slack off and get one??

This professor accused my entire class of not writing down the correct due date for an assignment. He is a little too cocky.

This guy is a ****, if your paper doesn't look exactly like one of his old papers and doesn't follow his opinions then you fail. He is very repetitive, I used to like American Beauty but after listening to him blab about it every class I have developed some distaste.

Head up his rear. Makes up stuff as he goes along, and thinks hes the center of the universe. Maybe I'm just bitter, but he showed me a good paper, like 4 pages longer than it had to be, and extremely well written, and he gave the girl like an 87 or something. Pathetic.
