Reviews of professor Rick Warner

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Rick is Good, Rick is Great. The syllabus is super interesting, a good range of all things horror. Participate! There are 3 papers, but Rick is super accessible and will literally give you so many ideas. Highly Recommend!

-Another review talked about 50 page readings and 2 movies a week, thats cap. Watching movies for homework is pretty chill.

Makes boring movies interesting, that's the biggest complement I can give. Engaging, makes complex film theory accessible, seriously knows his stuff. The class gets way into the weeds on film theory, but if you're into movies you'll learn a lot and be able to speak about them in a much more educated way. Definitely a prof worth checking out.

Rick doesn't grade papers, so difficulty level is entirely based on who your TA is. They're 3 short papers and a midterm and final paper. If you are decent at writing essays, the class will be a breeze. The only annoying thing about this class is the attendance policy. You have to go or you'll fail, and Rick gets salty if people don't talk in class

Dr. Warner was a great professor! Class was very paper heavy, but the content was not difficult. He is very accessible outside of class and his office hours were super helpful. If you are interested in taking a film class, take it with him!

Rick is easily the best professor I've had thus far at UNC. I actually looked forward to attending class because of how interesting and engaging his lectures were. He's clearly passionate and knowledgeable in the subject and he does a great job making the content accessible and understandable to all students regardless of experience level.

The TA you have will determine the grade you get, but I really enjoyed Rick's lectures and enjoyed most of the movies that we had to watch. This semester we were able to go view some of them at the Varsity Theater and I would highly recommend to go if future classes get this chance it made the viewing experience 10 times better!
