Some of his lectures can be a bit slow at times, but his personality shines through. I for one was so influenced through his lectures, I felt like I wanted to switch my major and inspire/change the world through film lol. ",

The lectures are long but always engaging - I learned about a whole culture of cinema I would never have gotten into otherwise. Lots of reading if you want to be prepared for the essays (blue book midterm and final), but otherwise not hard - just go to class and watch the movies. ",

    "comment": "Professor Rumble made literary analysis easy. If you read the books (even brief skimming to get the key details), he takes it from there and provides clear and detailed analysis that you can use in your 3 in-class essays which make up the bulk of your grade. He also has super funny, dry humor which made the class quite enjoyable. A real gem.",
