The 1st research paper (on movie theaters) was kind of a challenge and he should probably cut down on the reading a little, but the class was still fun, we watched a lot of great movies, and I learned a lot.",

Also assigned an extensive research paper without ensuring that the information he was looking for would be available in the places he said to look. Also assigned mandatory extra screenings every week. Too much work for 3 credits.",
