Wonderful class. From the previous COVID-era reviews he's definitely gotten more adjusted to online teaching. He encourages discussion, so just speak a few times and you'll be fine. Quizzes are easy. Occasional breakout rooms. Shows lots of videos. Really wants you to learn and succeed.

Ray is a nice person! But his class felt like a waste. CCM makes his class mandatory for TV production 2, yet I didn't learned much from him that I can implement into my own works. His lectures are informative, but he's so easily distracted that it makes it hard to stay invested. He doesn't even know how Final cut pro works!

Tests are very hard, if you miss a day YOU WILL fall behind without remorse, long informative lectures. Classes will be run as if they are your only class. Everything is run as if you have a lot to learn yet during Corona he completely gave up. Gave us our quizzes to figure out alone. Ray does not know modern film/tv. Smart man but a poor teacher.

I've had him three times, and each time, he was amazing. He wants you to be successful and learn, so that's why he makes you read. He loves when you participate, so if it's just a small comment, say it! He knows what he is doing, so if you have any questions about media, ask him.

Professor Kalas is very helpful if you show interest in the class and the field. Answers questions and knows a lot about a lot. Can be a little pretentious, but means well. Don't text or talk during his class, not ok!

Comment:
Kalas I think is a good teacher, but not great. I didn't like that he gave tests which I did not do well on, but he gave me the opportunity to do correctons on one of them. I do think he was a tough grader and I was not satified with my grade. I felt that the course should have been an easy A or B, but most importantly it should've been fun.

Ray is an amazing professor. He knows his stuff and takes class seriously. If you have an issue with other students' participation, he will help you solve the problem. Likes students who show they care and put in effort.

Had no idea what to expect in this class at first but it ended up to be pretty interesting. Quizzes are only hard if you don't know how to read the questions. Go to class and read the assignments and you'll get a decent grade.

Overall he is a great teacher. If you don't read the chapters, you will fail his class. He doesn't like slackers and wants you to learn. I learned a lot from him and he's really laid back if you give him the respect and do the work he asks you to do. Always pay attention when he reviews for the tests. He is pratically handing you the he answers

These kids are INSANE! Ray definitely knows his stuff and he knows that a good majority of us are still learning, and therefore doesn't expect us to just know how to work the equipment. He's got an open mind and he's chill to talk to. I learned loads from him.

You could do worse than him, but you could also do better. Has this annoying notion that he's like the last intellectual on Earth. Just show up, pay attention and walk out with your A.

Ray is an okay professor. He's not a bad guy, but he rambles too much. Broadcasting is my main interest, and luckily I already know a good amount of information, because he really doesn't teach much. He is a cool guy though, and an easy grader.

Thought he was a great teacher. Always tells interesting stories relating to the topic of class that day. No textbook, but have to research stuff online (he gives you the website and all you do is print it out and read it) only one or two quizes and a midterm and final. Overall he is a great and interesting teacher!!

Definitely my favorite teacher at CCM. I have noticed that people without a prior interest in the field hate him and his class. If you don't like the subject, don't sign up for the class. Kalas is a really cool guy with some awesome Chucks.
