Reviews of professor Petersen Niehoff

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
He has a good feel for the material and encourages the student to become enthusiastic. Reinforces a solid curriculum with excellent texts and recapitulations. Film selections were thoroughly enjoyable and relevant. One never gets a sense he is teaching 'above' his students, and makes sure everyone clearly received the class material. Humble, clear.

Awesome dude. TV Genres & Media should be an essential course for majors. UC needs to wake up and make him a full prof. Hes absolutely one of the best people ive worked with, in 3 classes now! Progressive, involved, engaging, insightful. .

Good prof. Not many assignments/ quizzes, your grade on those make up your final grade. I never used the textbook, everything we learn is on the slideshows that he gives out. No need to waste money on the book. The final exam is over everything you've talked about.

One of my major's is writing, and I was taking Film History for a credit. The start of the semester was fairly easy till you get to his essay, he grades a little harsh for being in intro to film class. But his lectures are very informative. A group of us asked what was on the quiz, and he told us the opposite of what was on his in person quiz.
