Reviews of professor Rafael Flores

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
AVOID. Super boring lectures about the most basic concepts, no motivation for students to actually pay attention and learn. Every single example of cinema is somehow political. We get it you made a video on an iPhone. Turfing is cultural appropriation BTW.

He is one of the wonderful professors in SFSU. His lecture is useful and practical. You will experience all the processes about making a film. His lecture is quite intense, so you might be real busy, but it helps a lot.

Inconsiderate about students and their time. Focuses on the negatives in your paper and does not provide critical feedback to improve your paper. Difficult to talk to and get a hold of. Dismissive when it comes to problems, so make sure you have proof that there is a problem. Perhaps it was a bad semester, because many of my friends recommended him

Eh, Prof. Flores was okay. Not the worst nor the best. Just in the middle. He has really high expectations for his students. Though he isn't considerate, especially at a time where a global pandemic ravages the entire Earth. Tough grader when it comes to his papers. Also, he relies on stupid forums for random mumbo-jumbo. I recommend avoiding him.

Tends to stretch the truth. And repeat himself. Tries to give too much meaning to things and not understand where the talent of the student is. 

Yet the quality of his own films is very mediocre. He comes across as hype man who is good at talking about his films but comes up short on quality.

Film industry professional and great teacher

Passionate & knowledgeable but definitely has an ego. Long rambling responses that don't answer your question. Picky/demanding but makes all kinds of mistakes himself. Comes off condescending - if people don't put film titles in italics after the 3rd time you say it, it's because those people don't care/aren't watching. Good content & films tho
