Winter 2024 - Professor Franklin's is fine, the topics themselves about the industry are just restating his version of what I have learned in multiple classes already, which isn't his fault, but still just as boring after hearing it for the second or third time. In general, any new topics, such as what is done for the homework assignments (reading scripts and doing coverage or script notes) was really fun and interesting. I thoroughly enjoyed reading multiple scripts as it gave me exposure to them and analyzing them. Professor Franklin's first impression was something I will not forget, I have never had a professor cuss as much as him within one lecture. I think in general, it is unprofessional and seems forced at times, like he is trying to relate to the "kids". Whatever the reason, after the fifth f bomb in the first class, I was already tired of it. His lectures are all printed out and as a student, you are just spoken at for an hour and a half. There is no slideshow, or even outline to follow, and most of the time Franklin is looking down at his printed script like it is a TV show. As a person, he seems great and genuinely wants to help those who want to get into the industry. He does many Q&A things after class and tries to convey his willingness to help if you reach out to him. As a lecturer, he needs to make the class more engaging in at least one way. In general, this is an easy A, but is boring as hell.
