Reviews of professor Peter Newman

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Biggest part of grade is final group project. Very dense and takes a lot of research. Have entire semester to work on it. Intense professor and very critical as far as grading. Very understanding as far as absences and participation grades.

Prof Newman was fine. Lecture heavy and he tends to ramble a bit. Your grade really depends on the final project, but everything you need is given to you on the class slides. For extra points, reach out to him and see what additional info you can add on your project, he really respects a well researched project :)

Peter's a fun guy. He teaches without his shoes on, which is funny to me. This class- business of producing- lured a few people in by the vague title. He clears it up within the first few weeks: it should be called the business of producing independent feature films. It's easy and pretty much one group project of producing a film.

Peter is a super cool guy, quirky but very nice. lectures are pretty rambly and it sucks that we can't pick our own groups for the final project but otherwise a pretty easy class. just be warned the stern curve applies so don't go in expecting an A.

Extremely boring. He drags his lectures on in class with no specific subject he's focusing on. This class is for people who like indie films and film festivals, not for people who want to work in big studios. I love film and tv and he made it seem like the most dull subject in the world.
