James Nadler

A fun professor to have, always includes fun TV show references throughout his lectures!

James is a tough marker but I found his feedback on my writing extremely helpful. He was understanding with classes being online and was flexible with deadlines. Some lectures were boring and others were fascinating. He tends to get sidetracked but has some really interesting stories.

James has a knack for giving bare-bones information for assignments, then will explain crucial requierments for said-assignment AFTER IT'S BEEN SUBMITTED. Most projects don't have rubrics, and James likes providing examples that are 'B+' work (but never tells you what's he thinks is an 'A+'). Tough grader and pretty stressful. At least he's nice.

James is a nice dude, but his work ethics just aren't it. Slides are uploaded days later and half the assignments have no rubric to follow; you get more information on assignments by emailing him than you do being in-class. Not to mention his tough marking criteria makes this a stressful experience. Compared to RTA943, it's like night and day...

Nadler is a super fun prof, really interesting lectures. He does try to put a ton of info in a small amount of time but is always open for questions.

He does try to cram a lot of content into a three hour per week class, I remember on the last day he was speed reading the last 30 or so slides trying to get everything in. Be ready to take plenty of notes - he will jump around a lot. However if you pay attention and write detailed notes you will do fine on the exam. Other assignments are decent.

Very good Professor. Tests are mostly on what he says in lectures (pay attention). Dry material but is enthusiastic. He hands out tuna to students who give a great answer. (I'm a poor student who likes free food) At first he seems rigid but is actually helpful. He should teach BDC 402!!!

This had the potential to be taught as a very dry, boring course. But Nadler was clearly fascinated by it, and wanted to spread his fascination to the students. so... fun class (as fun as a 6-9 Monday class can be, anyway)

Fantastic prof. The fact that he was so excited about it made BHist interesting. Tests were only hard if you weren't paying any attention, and i found it easy to pay attention. Also have him for a writing course which he is similarly very knowledgeable and passionate about. Also very helpful and willing to chat one on one about assignments.

Entertaining, but fairly closed-minded towards newer trends in the television industry. Don't expect him to take a personal interest in you.
