Reviews of professor Jacob Sabot

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
If you know those HS teachers that teach at an uni and has their whole ego built around it, that is him. Do not take this class for your art credits, do music appreciation! It is a lot of busy work and he grade hella hard on discussion and essays. Take NOTES! if your TA is JAKUB Niedzwiecki, DROP ASAP. Grades your essay like his life depends on it.

This class was great, he put a lot of effort into teaching us! It gave me a better appreciation of horror movies and you will learn a lot about how our societal fears and interests at different time periods relate to movies coming out. 3-4 essays (fun topics), 2 exams, weekly (easy) quiz & discussion post. Best art elective class at CU + manageable

Awesome professor and a fair grader. You watch a movie in each class. There were four essays total throughout the semester, but all just two to three pages.

Jake really knows and loves the material he teaches. All screenings were obviously carefully selected and lectures were very thorough. Text was $20. One heads up: the last essay (out of 4) ended up being optional if you cared to take an average grade based on your first 3 essays. Don't phone in the first 3 and you won't have to do the final essay.

Jake Sabot has been one of my favorite professors ever. He is incredibly clear and organized about his assignments, and there honestly aren't that many. For this course, there were weekly quizzes (which were basically free grades), readings, and a few essays. His lectures were awesome and I had a really fun time in his class!

Really fun/easy class! Everyone had great discussions during the lectures and we also watch a movie every class. There isn't much homework, there are textbook readings each week and a short quiz at the end of each class on the readings and lectures. There are 4 essays (4th is optional), but the prompts make them so enjoyable to write.

I absolutely loved taking this class. He is very knowledgable about what he is teaching. Very easy to talk to and understanding. Definitely take this class if you get the opportunity.

There have been very few times where I've looked at an almost 4 hour class on my schedule after a full day of work and thought "whoa, yay!". Jake Sabot's class is the exception. This class was such a fun and dynamic breath of fresh air for someone who isn't in an arts major at all. The lectures are so worth it and he's such a fair grader.

Horror in Film was a great class. You watch a movie each class then have a discussion about it. I have never taken a film class before, and it was a great way to learn about the industry and different shots within a movie. Only negative was the difficulty of his grading with papers. Make sure you review the syllabus in depth.
