Reviews of professor Todd Thompson

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
I learned the very basics of Pro Tools, how microphones and cables work and understand the fundamentals of on-set recording and mixing. BUT for the 6hrs a week, 5 of those were spent on more fruitless stories and discussions. Often boring, but very caring prof. Easy enough but missed opportunity for a great class tbh.

Todd's class was the best film production class I had at UT. You start with the basics and gradually learn more until the end of the course when you are knowledgeable enough to record and mix audio on a professional level. Also talked about finding jobs in this field, which no other teachers do. Quizzes are hard, but everything else was great. A+

Relatively easy but boring class. Todd is a cool guy, but he usually ends up lecturing for the whole 3 hours of class on both days, which means you get talked to about audio for 6 hours. If you're an audio geek, then go for it. Todd admits that if you put effort into all projects, you'll get an A. Quizzes are alright.

Todd's class on audio production taught me so many useful things that I've already used in my personal and professional life. As some others have said, some lectures were long and contained a lot of information but if you take good notes and ask questions, you will be fine. Projects in this course have a lot of flexibility and were very fun.
