Reviews of professor Stephen Charbonneau

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Even though the lecture was online theirs a weekly inperson discussion which is very annoying. 3 quizzes and 2 papers. Papers were longish for a non WAC class. Quizzes are very easy. All the films are very boring and mostly from 19th century Japan and France.

Honestly,  I only took this class just to pass a credit but I wouldn't mind taking it again. This man clearly shows a passion for his work. If given more time in class he would love to ramble on about certain aspects of film (as I often see him with other students outside of class). So take the course and enjoy an altered perspective on film.

This class was great! Definitely take if youre into film, but just know most of them will be French films from the 50-60s so theyre not for everyone. The class is mostly film analyzation so if foreign films arent your favorite you might think the class is boring. But the professor and TAs are very nice and all super helpful.

Not only is he funny, his laugh is even funnier. Love this professor to death. Amazing lectures, would definitely take again!

I actually didn't meet him since one of his TA would do everything for him, even the grading, so if u get an easy TA it should be quite an easy course

Seriously one of the best professors I've had. He knows what he is talking about and is a really fun guy to talk to. He does take is grading very seriously so if something is unclear to you make sure to ask him about it. He's very helpful and wants his students to do well. Definitely will be the most fun you will have in class!

Loved his class! We watched way more modern films than I expected and he really cares about your interpretations of the material. No final just 3 quizzes and 2 papers. Quizzes are super easy but you do have to pay attention during lectures. This isn't necessarily the professor's fault but my TA was such a tough grader and they graded everything.

Really nice guy. Super funny. Lenient and wants to help you pass. Very understanding of personal issues and "life" so if you explain a dilemma you have he will do his best to help you. Grades kind of hard but if you do your best you will pass.

Each week you have a lecture and then watch a movie. Each movie is different and nothing I've seen before, so it's cool, but some movies might not be for you, especially for an early morning class. Only grades were two scene analysis papers, the midterm, and the final. If you put in some effort, you'll do fine. Overall, good class and professor.
