Reviews of professor Russell Sheaffer

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Cinema 123 is a great class and the professor knows the field really well. The screenings are engaging (with a mix of old and new movies). I'd highly recommend this class if you're interested in LGBTQ cinema and culture.

Really nice teacher and professor. Gave great feedback and knew me on name basis even though we've never actually met in person/on zoom. A lot of the content of the class related to themes of queer gender identity.

I'm a senior in high school and I took this class for credit over the summer. I wasn't super excited to take a cinema class, but I ended up loving it. Professor Sheaffer was wonderful and he gave great feedback and had super informative lecture videos. He seems very passionate about what he does and I would highly recommend his class!

Incredibly knowledgeable about film, and has the experience to back it up. Focused on the subject at hand. Enjoys talking about film before class.

This professor has to be one of the WORST professors. Obviously work would be heavy so I was prepared, but what was terrible was the assignment dates. Homework is due on Fridays, which usually means you get the next set on Friday and have a week to do it all. WRONG!!!! HW is due friday night and he assigns the next on Monday. SO you have 4 1/2 days

This is one of those classes where it helps if you're genuinely interested in the topic. Yes there's a lot of reading and films but it's all really fascinating and educational stuff. I learned a lot and overall had a great time. Prof made an effort to remember my preferred name even though it's not the one listed. I felt seen and respected.

This class was super easy. He gave so many extra credit options. Both our finals we took online and he prepares you really well for them. If you put any effort in at all you will pass. He is very knowledgable in the subject matter and that made it easier to learn for me.

I've taken multiple of Prof Sheaffer's classes at this point and really like their way of teaching. Every assignment is easy to follow; as long as you watch the assigned movie or read the assigned pages, you'll do fine. While lecture heavy, all of the lectures are in video format with slide-show bullet points for easy understanding.
