Alex Anderson

You gonna work so hard on the essays...

Alex just spouts and reads from the textbook. Not an engaging professor at all. She has a high regard of herself, which comes across to the students. Attendance is counted everyday by handing in a note at the beginning of each class with something you have written down from the readings. She also tends to glorify communism.

An exceptional and brilliant professor that pushes her students to use their heads and think. Her marks accurately reflect the effort. She is also a very experienced and talented filmmaker & editor, and provides very good feedback on work to make you better at what you do. Lucky to have had her as a prof.

SPOILS EVERY MOVIE THINKING EVERYONE HAS SEEN IT, LIKE WTH MISS

One of the worst professors I have ever had. Extremely self-centered and disapproves of any from of creativity that does not align with her own.

Says "Um" more than actual lecture material. Makes film history incredibly boring, and I like film history. I wish I didn't have to take this class. She just goes over whats in the textbook.

Ryerson promotes creativity and stepping out of our creative box but when that is completed, this teacher does not seem to appreciate that. Instead she digs deeper into something that isn't there and does not take things at face value. If you are in film at Ryerson beware of this teacher and just stick to an uncreative issue.

never again ever

I really enjoyed this class, but I love history! Her lectures are interesting but more many others, too long & too early (9am lectures...) She expects you to study, participate, engage in the lectures, and read the textbook!

Alex is a bit maternal but she challenges the students who want to be challenged. I learned more from her about filmmaking than any other teacher.
