Reviews of professor William Dewan

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Online summer session. Yes, it was a lot of material, but definitely manageable. Great thorough slides, lectures, examples & explanations in a relatable & respectful way. Helps the material come together. Responds in a timely matter. Study guides for exams, some papers to write but was not hard if you pay attention & keep up with the material.

Prof Bill was awesome! Lectures, class expectations, and assignments were clear! Three video responses, a midterm, and a final. I received 100% on my video responses (likely because he grades fairly easy). Even if you don't attend all lectures are posted online. Most often we were let out of class early, sometimes even an hour or two!

Good prof. No summer- too much reading and work- take him in the spring or fall. Lots of reading. Discussion posts, films and papers on films, two big tests. Interesting material. Take him in a 16 week course.

The class was all online so I appreciate how easy the modules were to navigate. Assignments were always very clear and easy. As long as you submit work on time and make sure you're checking the module it's hard to fail the class. Overall it was one of the better online courses iv taken. I would recommend this class and professor!

Professor Dewan teaches in a way that makes you feel more like his peer rather than a subordinate. His lectures are really engaging and he'll really catch you off guard with the jokes. Great professor, great guy.

I LOVE this professor. I took this as a summer online class and it's totally manageable. I loved the lectures. Also, I'd buy the textbook online so you can search up key words for the discussion posts. You don't really need to read the reading assigned, just watch the lectures.

I took this class during the winter so it was a bit fast-paced but it followed the same structure of all of his other classes with a discussion every week (4 options answer 2), 3 film responses, and a midterm and a final with study guides that go over all the material. Fairly easy class and this is his area of concentration so he's passionate.

Professor Dewan is very passionate and caring. He made his topics relatable. As long as you attend class, read the book, and listen there is no reason why you shouldnt get a good grade. He is very funny and obviously loves teaching. Amazing teacher

This class consisted of weekly discussion posts, 3 film analysis papers, a midterm and a final. If you make time to do the work he assigns you should be fine. Nothing was too difficult, I would take this class again! He is very nice as well

He was awesome! Helped me understand some assignments and accepted late work with valid excuse. Had a baby 2 weeks before last day of class and he allowed me to turn in late work. Was very Nice and understanding.
