Reviews of professor John Alexander

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Great professor all around. The lectures are interesting and you don't need to do the readings ahead of time but you really should. There are a few assignments that are easy and mostly for completion. Most of the grade is based on four essays/photo projects that you do. Broad prompts and lots of freedom for expression. Try to have fun with it.

I had Professor Alexander Fall of 2020 for GESM 110, and it was a great class to take if you are interested in exploring the world of documentaries as a medium for storytelling. The assignments are easy but thought provoking and the professor is super encouraging and sweet (not a hard grader at all). Interesting concepts and readings! Recommend!

Prof. Alexander and his Questions of Documentary class is a solid GESM. You do some interesting readings and watch some pretty interesting films. There are four papers and one final exam essay and all are graded fairly easily (my lowest grade on a paper was a 94 and that was the first one). I'd give him a 4.5 if I could.
