Professor Melnick is the greatest Professor in the entire world. He is: - An informative lecturer - Teaches with passion - Fun conversations during office hours, welcoming - Cares about his students - Comfortable learning environment - Inspiring and encouraging The class has great guest speakers, inside scoop of work environment, job advice etc

Not interesting and likes to talk about himself and his life story a lot. Course is not structured well

Ross is a good guy. Fun, informative lectures, high energy--during office hour when you plan your paper, he'll give you tons of great and ideas and direction. He's hyper like a cup of coffee when he talks and I love it. Real friendly dude and cares. He won't do you dirty.

By far one of the best professors I've had. His lectures are so intriguing because he does a great job of putting everyone in the proper mindset for each film. The movies he picks are also reeeeeally good. Plus he is fun to talk to.

He is my favorite professor at UCSB. So passionate and so knowledgeable about film. He's so easy to talk to and he's so helpful. Everything is easy as long as you go to lectures and understand the concepts and ideas of each of the readings.

Ross Melnick is one of the best professors I've had so far. Not only is he incredibly nice and handsome, but he is extremely helpful in understanding the material and keeps his lectures interesting. He also showed excellent films all quarter, some of which have become my favorites.
