Reviews of professor Ben Feuer

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
I took Professor Feuer's World Cinema Movements course as an online class... he said he required our cameras on, but dropped that after a couple weeks. Gave witty and informative context to cinema movements. A great course if you're starting to dip your toes into learning about film. Assigned (mostly) all very good films for in-class and homework.

Professor Feuer is a nice man and definitely more than knowledgeable enough about cinema and its history. The lectures were interesting and you could tell he had passion rather than going through the motions. However I will say that his grading techniques for papers are rather intense and to get a good grade on a paper seemed nearly impossible.

my favorite class/prof this semester! i had no prior knowledge of the topic but prof Feuer made the lectures so informative and really cares that the students understand the material. the instructions for the assignments and essays are really clear and he's a pretty easy grader if you get the general idea. i definitely recommend this class!

Ben was passionate and amusing in his teaching style, and I thoroughly enjoyed his class. I found that his grading was more critical than Im used to, however he must be doing something right considering I got a better grade on my second paper than my first. My only qualm is that he may overestimate the abilities of his students.

He has a nice personality, but he is not the best professor. He assigned a paper with extremely confusing directions, then he proceeded to grade them harshly. Additionally, for the midterm, he basically didn't prepare us, and many of us failed because of it. Poor lectures too, he could use PPT. I would suggest taking another course instead of his.
