Reviews of professor T.J. Volgare

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Volgare could of made the class a lot easier, be wary of the amount of papers he makes you write. Mentioned also, he gave out the wrong final exam time in the syllabus. Not a good professor to take, PowerPoint slides are amazingly long, and dull. He expects you to know Film terminology. It really sucks.

You should only take T. J. if you're interested in film-making. T. J. himself is very passionate about what he does. Not only is he a professor, but a film director, pastor, and has a band. I talked to him personally on multiple occasions, and he gave me multiple opportunities and pointers. Go and talk to him after class, you'll love him.

TJ is very sarcastic and condescending. I dropped his class because I could not take another boring lecture that was full of useless information. His class is very long and boring, and he is very full of himself and negative at times. I would not recommend this class to anyone who is not already educated about film.

He forgets that he is the only film expert in the room. Journals are easy and films are interesting but his lectures are long and boring with a lot of tangents and he's not interactive with the students. You need the textbook to reteach yourself all the vocab/concepts. Dont take this expecting it to be beginners, you def need background film info

Movies were interesting but lectures were AWFUL! He made no sense and constantly got off topic. PPT slides are not helpful at all. He seems like a nice guy truly, but his mandatory attendance policy is ridiculous and he lectures like we are all award winning filmmakers who are there to brush up on our skills.
