Murray Pomerance

Very knowledgeable and passionate about film, however it is difficult to engage in the class when he belittles your responses and insists on being condescending. Wouldn't ever take him again! He's not a good teacher.

i am not a big fan of the prof or the way he treats other students. BUUT I really enjoyed the class. Remember to do the weekly readings and the to attend each and every class- that way you are able to get a passing grade. HE is not so friendly, when i asked about something for my final essay- but still a good class overall.

Great prof! Very energetic and loud. He can be a bit rude at times. As long you do your readings you'll be fine for the quizzes. Alot of people panicked over the 45% essay but he isn't a tough grader so don't worry.

Murray is very knowledgable and it shows. Going to class was always a treat. He is a bit intimidating though. Do not walk into class late or during a film clip because he is quick to react. Overall, go to class and make sure to read the textbook because there are weekly quizzes based on it. There is also 1 essay (no midterm or exam).

Knowledgeable within varying topics of film. However, quick-tempered & condescending. Instead of offering constructive feedback to students, Murray dismisses thoughts and belittles responses. Simple quizzes based on lecture/readings. No final, one essay. Refuses to provide any assistance on essay after essay is assigned - a month before its due.

Murray is knowledgeable about severals aspects of Hollywood films (e.g., cinematic techniques) and is very passionate about it. However, he is quick-tempered and condescending toward students, which makes it difficult to participate and be engaged in the class.

You will not find a professor more passionate about teaching their respective subject as this professor. My writing has improved and my appreciation for the subject matter has dramatically increased. This will be a challenging class and requires thorough readings but the content is life-changing.

Murray is a great professor! He may seem intimidating but he really isn't. He is knowledgeable about the course and really passionate about it. There is one quiz every week which consists of 4 questions (multiple choice) and a final essay- no exam!! I really enjoyed the class!

Best class ever. Murray is so intelligent and passionate, I absolutely loved this class. He has an impressive breadth of knowledge regarding film and the production of film with specific attention on hollywood genres. This class is very mentally stimulating - never a dull moment. 5/5 would recommend to anyone who is passionate about film.

hard work but nice guy.a little cranky, but he's old
