Reviews of professor James Sadwith

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Sadwith is a fantastic teacher if you let him teach you. His Directing Actors course will challenge you, even without much course work, and you'll be better off after it. What you put into the class, you get out of it. If you want to be a better director, take his class, care about it, and I promise you'll improve by the end. Plus, he's a joy.

Professor Sadwith cannot be accurately summed up in just the 350 characters that Rate My Professor gives you. This description simply won't do him justice either. Hands down, the best professor I have had the pleasure of learning from at SCAD. Fun, engaging, helpful, class. Learned a lot about proper script writing and character development.

Professor Sadwith is a great teacher to work with. He is very helpful with advice and examples. You will learn something every day that will be helpful in the future. It is important to be on time. Don't be afraid to ask questions and participate.

For dramatic writing, I think Sadwith is helpful, but I see him more as a director as that definitely comes through in his teaching style and feedback. He structures the class around community building and had us sit in a circle and bounce ideas off of each other which I loved.

Professor Sadwith is great! He has real experience in filmmaking and screenwriting. We read a $10 book and write 3 short scripts in the class. He's a stickler for grammar and punctuation, which is a GOOD thing! He's funny, engaging, caring, and has great career stories. He'll sometimes Skype a Hollywood star he's worked with to share their stories.

I love this man. He has helped me out through a lot of my personal endeavors. The thing I admire most about him is that he is a teacher that cares for his students. He wants to see everyone succeed and will work with them to get a great piece out of them through suggestions or ideas. I don't know how I would've ended up if I didn't meet him.

He is so good! I will definitely pick his class again! He helped us a lot before we shoot our thesis and gave us a lot of opinions.

Virtual class. Great Professor. I hate writing scripts but this class was not bad at all. If you are not good at grammar, use scad tutor resources to read over your script. It is important for you to speak up at least one time in each class. Only had to write 2 main scripts rest of grades are participation, lil quizzes, and exercises.

From the beginning of this class I had very low expectations for this professor, as anyone who brags about students doing poorly in their class has an incorrect understanding of what makes a good educator. The grading criteria was always incredibly unclear and I honestly have no idea how his rating is so high on here. Hope I never see him again.
