Reviews of professor Rick Warner

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Rick is the best professor I've had at UNC. He clearly has a deep knowledge and passion for the material but he also really cares about the new ideas students bring to the table. If you get a good group of students, the class can feel like you're sitting with a bunch of friends having a guided discussion about some pretty cool films.

Really enjoyed this class! Rick is so knowledgable about films, specifically horror for this class, and he has a great sense of humor. The class is more paper heavy but you can choose to do a creative project instead of a final paper. I've walked away with a new-found appreciation for horror films -- highly recommend taking a class with Rick!

Rick is a nice guy, but I would never take a class like this again. Unless you are a film major or minor or thinking about switching to film STAY AWAY. There really should be a prereq for this course with the amount of things we were supposed to know prior to class. We had two readings (50 pages each) and two movies 2+ hours in length in a week.

Rick was an interesting professor, and the class is super interesting and fun. Learned a lot about film and how to more deeply appreciate the artistic aspects of whatever film I'm watching. At the same time, I sometimes felt like I was taking my TA's class more than Rick's, as the course is large and recitation can be more important than lecture.

Rick is the GOAT. He creates a great balance in the classroom between being serious about the material and lightening things up with some humor. Lectures are engaging and he's clearly passionate about the material. When I tell you I jumped through hoops to get into his class for next semester, that's how good he is. Take him, you won't regret it!
