Reviews of professor Baran German

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Very enjoyable lectures, and a fun attitude. Not a free grade but not an incredibly tough professor either, very reasonable. One of my absolute favorite professors so far.

Amazing lectures, enjoyable content, and a very humorous professor. He's understanding and laidback while also ensuring that you come out of his class having learned something. Whether or not you're interested in majoring in film I would take his class, an overall amazing professor.

Took his class for intro to film studies and I absolutely hate it. Zero organization: Tells students the class time the day of, doesn't have class materials planned out, discussions always last longer than class time. Also, gives ridiculous amounts of work (movies, essays, presentations, and projects due on singular days). Just don't take his class

The worst teacher I've ever had. Assigns a truly ridiculous amount of work; 18 pages of writing + a slideshow and an 8 minute presentation, due two days apart. When we asked for more time he told us to "be more organized". Takes simple concepts and makes them incomprehensible, he's too focused on sounding educated to actually make sense.

I took many classes with him and he is so knowledgable about his work. Very fun person too!

Baran is a great professor and an ever better person. The workload can be challenging and even over-whelming at points but Baran is extremely understanding and willing to work with you if you talk with him.
