Reviews of professor John McMurria

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
This was an easy enough class and professor McMurria is very helpful and wants you to do good in the class. I completley earned my B as I took it as a 4-week fast-track course during the Summer on vacation. Definitley could've gotten an A if I were not as distracted. Great class and instructor!

I had Professor McMurria in the fall and he was the nicest professor I've ever had. I was going through hard times and fell behind in his class, but he would always check up on me. He really cares about his students and what he does. His class is super interesting and I loved it. He accepts late work and is very understanding. Nicest man ever.

I took CINE100 with Mr. McMurria, and had a great time. The class was very easy, with homework being due on Sunday 11:59pm every week. You do NOT need to purchase the book, as the weekly summaries that he provides are more than enough to pass the class. He provides study guides for each quiz, which are open note.

Professor McMurria genuinely cares about his students. He gives weekly check-ins and wants you to succeed. The tests are easy if you keep up with the readings. If you aren't the best test taker, or are a busy working student, there is tons of extra credit opportunities to make up for missed points. He assigns great movies, I recommend this class.

8 week fast track. Usually 2 discussions per week (13 total) and about 1 quiz per week (7 total). Discussions are 3 points and quizzes are 8 (Quiz 7 is 13). You can miss up to 10 points and still finish with an A. Movies are all interesting and the discussions aren't that long to write.

I took this class as an 8-week, and it was easy but time-consuming with all the movies you have to watch and analyzing you have to do after. However, the content and movie choices are interesting so you'll never get bored throughout this class! There is a textbook, but I didn't use it because he has summaries/notes for each chapter which is enough.
