Reviews of professor Artel Great

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Dr. Great is a one of a kind Professor. I really enjoyed his Senior Seminar class, FST 496 Independent Black Film. He challenged us to not only think critically but to write critically about the films we watched. He is incredibly passionate about the films we watched and I loved the in depth discussions we had in class! I would take his class again

Dr. Great was one of the best professors I've had at UNCW. He leaves a lot of room for discussion in his lectures. He values the opinions of students even if they are contrary to his own. He is very supportive and wants his students to be successful. That being said, you need to put in the effort and not slack off in order to succeed.

Dr. Great is an awesome person deserving of respect. I came to UNCW hoping to get educated concerning the deeper matters of life and the state of the world. I started giving up that dream due to pursuing a film degree, but found my prayers truly answered in taking his classes. I gained an understanding of the world and myself, and hope for change.

I had Dr. Great as my Senior Seminar teacher and he quickly became one of my favorite teachers in the entire department. He's fun, vocal, and always open to other's opinions. All he wants you to do is watch and analyze a movie critically. Discuss its meaning and purpose, and how watching it impacted you. He is a great guy and amazing teacher.

I had Dr. Great for Post-Soul cinema and I thoroughly enjoyed this class. He engages students in a thoughtful dialogue about the screenings and the readings which were posted through canvas. He related the films to what was going on in the real world and his experience and feedback were invaluable to my experience as a student.

PROS: -engaging and knowledgeable. -lectures are insightful (class is never boring ) -he is always relevant and invoking of course material. -there is NO textbook usually. But get ready for whole chapters of books. CONS: -sometimes confusing on what he wants from papers -has random changes of mood in class -how he grades can be confusing

Dr. Great is a film studies professor who has existed within the hollywood film making machine. He has insights on the industry that no other professor I have taken has because of that. You learn film theory in his class but also about the film industry. If you come into the class with the intention to learn, you definitely will with Dr. Great.

THE WORST. I would never take a class by this man ever agin. He is very opinionated and rude. He also enjoys talking down to people. He has a very short temper so often students are scared to ask a question because we don't know how he will react. He is passionate about film but I would rather fight a bear then go to his class.
