Reviews of professor Jeffrey Stanley

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Prof Stanley isn't your "fun" professor who fills time with hilarious anecdotes, however, he is absolutely knowledgable and if you show up, pay attention, and take notes you will gain a lot. I've learned more in his Screenwriting I class than in any other course I've taken so far at Drexel. Focus, ask questions, work hard and you'll get a lot.

Jeff emphasizes that he judges more how you apply his lessons than the quality of your writing, but he is a bit on the tough side when it comes to grading (do take the feedback given). Final project is 50% of grade, homework is 25% and rest is participation. This class is lecture heavy but you will learn a lot! Effort and time is a must.

Very interesting guy with a lot to say about the film industry as a whole. Definitely a LOT of reading, writing and watching in his class, which may be a turn-off for some: personally, I found it intriguing to hear his insights on various films. Definitely a by-the-book guy who may stifle creativity a bit, however. Grades and feedback are fair.

He is a standard Film Jockey.  I think if you were passionate about the class then you'll love him but I was not and struggled. He expected everyone else to be just as passionate as him. He also assigned a lot of coursework in software he didn't teach and expected proficiency in our own time on top of assigning 5-6 hours of work every week.
