This was the first course he taught at UCSB. He was enthusiastic and knew so much about the film industry and trends. On the last day, we watched Cinema Paradiso. Can't wait to take 101C with him.

Is hot and kind and funny. Only con is he's married and mentions his wife sometimes

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

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

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.
