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.
