Reviews of professor John Goshorn

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
FOCUS ON THE RUBRIC! He knows his stuff about films, but is one of the harshest graders i've ever had. If you're given a rubric, do EVERYTHING it says to the T unless you want a bad grade. He is a quick responder to emails but don't expect much personality or enthusiasm unless you're a female.

History of Cinema was by far the worst class last semester. We had to watch so many movies. Seems fun? No, it isn't when there are so many in such a little amount of time. Group presentations, too. John is so boring and drones on for a really long time. He also gets offended when anyone questions him and makes lives miserable. Also a tough grader.

He waited till about a week before finals to put in any grades and turned out half the class was failing and didnt care at all. Avoid this man at all cost, worst professor I have ever had. Literally, he was so bad I changed my major. If you have him, goodluck! He doesn't care about anyone but himself and his "movie" he made.

Whew child, I cannot. I'm a senior and this is by far the most work I've EVER done in a class. Even with all of this corona adjustments going on, this man wants us to be on level 4000 with him. His class is way too difficult and it will NOT benefit you at all. He throws in things that will never be used EVER. Please don't do it to yourself boo.

Assigns way to much work for what it is worth, the Weekly Discussions require you to watch at least 4 films and start at 200 words and two 100 word replies to classmates. After a couple weeks this scales until its 600 words and two 200 word replies to classmates. Then there is a 2000-2500 word term paper and then a final paper due during finals.

Nice guy to be around, but he's a really tough grader and he could sometimes make expectations unclear.

AVOID THIS PROFESSOR!!! So much homework, mad to watch at least 3-5 movies a week. for any major grade, don't expect to get it back anytime soon. Had a midterm paper due before spring break and it is now one week till finals and I haven't had a grade back. If you have this dude I pray for you! Goodluck
