Comment:
Many of the bad reviews say more about the laziness, lack of motivation and intelligence of the students than about the quality of his teaching. He is intelligent, communicates imaginatively in a way that brings concepts alive. He teaches to the students who are willing to fulfill the expectations of the course. I thought he was great. Model prof.

He's a really nice guy and really intelligent but not a good teacher. His class drove me insane because he was so unclear about what he wanted. I hate to say this but don't take his class.

He is such a nice guy but not a good teacher. He will try his best to help you understand the material but you will get frustrated in his class He can't explain things well. test aren't that bad if you read the book but trying to write essays is a nightmare in this class.

Simmons is extremely approachable and helpful. He really wants his students to understand the material and is willing to change his lesson plans if students do not understand a topic. He won't leave you behind but you have to let him know you need help. He is truly passionate about film.

This guy has no clear rational to grading. The tests are supposed to be about a "broad understanding of the content" but are in reality about laser acurate answers to vague matching questions. A grading scale would be really helpful.

hard to understand at times because he's so intelligent. but he'll spend all day explaining something to you if you ask him to. he's very concerned about making sure you understand things. one of the nicest people in the world. he'll really work to help you out and make sure you do well.

Really nice professor, though his lectures are long, his assignments vague, and his grades few and far between. Works with you if you approach him, but otherwise you're best taking these for the material or requirements rather than the prof alone

Cares about students, brings film alive, fascinating but also able to break things down so that students can understand complicated things. He spent a lot of time making sure we knew how to write well.

You can never get a straight answer from him; a rather odd man. He talks in circles and makes simple things confusing. A nice guy, but not a good teacher

His ideas are very vague, and quite often the class is at a loss, wondering what in the world to study for a test! He is a very nice guy though, and if you ever need help you can always stop by his office--but if he says 5min, he really means an hour :-)
