Harsh grader but good feedback

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
TAKE TOMS CLASS!!! The kindest and coolest professor at chapman. He grades based on completion and if you care rather than technical. If you put effort into the class and pay attention you're going to do great. He gives amazing feedback, and I actually felt like I improved after taking his class. He's the best you can get!

He's a TRULY tough grader. He doesn't give A to anyone (He said it himself.) I worked my ass off yet still received a B+. If you want a decent GPA, don't take his class.

Tom was great and was able to make a class that could have been really dull interesting. The projects outside class take a good amount of time, but that's the nature of filmmaking. He understands that this is an entry-level class and is grading you mostly on the story and visuals so you don't need to put too much time into the technical stuff.

Tom is a tough grader, but as long as you put effort in you will never get below a B. I definitely learned a lot this semester, especially as a screenwriter who takes very little production classes. Tom's a nice guy and is willing to talk about grades with you and hear you out. It's not the easiest class, but not a lot of dodge classes are.
