Professor Liebing is so sweet and supportive! Classes mostly consisted of guest speakers from various film industries, with the professors updates on the film world and such. You get out of the class what you put into it. If you actually make an effort to ask the speakers questions and reach out to film industry individuals, then you will likely see productive results. If not, you'll still get an A, but perhaps not the network that the class is intended to provide you with.

The midterm and final are both super easy and fun! I don't think Liebing gives out bad grades to anyone, and he is very kind in his feedback. If you are interested in getting into the film industry, but don't know where to start, this class is a great choice!

Disregard that ludicrous 1.0 review. Professor Liebing single-handedly saved me GPA. If you're complaining about the difficulty of a class with this type of grade distribution, I implore you to curb your ego and reevaluate your work ethic. Your inability to schedule meeting with your group is your problem – don't pawn off the blame to a professor. A certain degree of self-autonomy is expected, even in a class as academically chill as this.

I suggest you don't take this class if you aren't 100% considering getting into the film industry. If you are a FILM TV minor like myself, this class is not your best option.

Class is composed of
1. Development Assignment 1
2. Development Assignment 2
3. Quiz,
4. Weekly 10 Questions Submission
5. Participation.
6. Group Project

The worst part about this class was that there was no structure whatsoever, You would think that you would learn about the Global Film and Television industry, but no. He barely goes in depth about how the industry is and what they do. For the 10 weeks that I spent in his class, I learned nothing. Absolutely nothing. The development assignments are also a pain. The first one is not the worst since you just write log lines, talk about your plan to produce one of your ideas, and choose a global industry and analyze it. But for the group project, you have to make 10-15 page pitch deck, a sizzle reel, and another assignment with maximum 10 people in your group. You also have to record a pitch with the group you did the assignment with and pitch it to actual film professionals, and they critique your pitch by making you go in front of the stage. The second development assignment was worse since you had to all of that work by yourself and you also had to contact a film professional from LinkedIn in order to arrange an interview with them. There was no help WHATSOEVER about this. We just had to do it. For those who desire to be in the film industry, this class might help. But for those who are in the minor and do not know much about the material, this was an absolute disaster.

Half the time in lecture the professor played netflix trailers. He uploaded assignments to canvas AFTER the advertised due date on the syllabus, took sometimes a week to reply to messages/emails, and gave very vague directions for all assignments.

The projects are cool, you develop two separate shows for streaming, but they are a lot of work with little instruction. I spent most of my time googling how to do the projects to meet industry standards. Everything I learned in this class came from google and getting ten people to be able to properly collaborate on a group project which was a HUGE percentage of the grade was difficult.

literally the goat. the kindest and most supportive professor on campus. a fun yet easy class that you won't regret taking!

I took multiple courses with Prof Liebing, and he was AWESOME! The classes are completely manageable—no quizzes, tests, or exams. The homework is to make 10 questions you have about the reading material (which is very light and doable), lecture, or the film industry – and that’s it! Easy A! The midterm and final is take home and are very easy. I highly recommend taking any FTV classes with Prof. Liebing.

The class was a drag - probably because it was scheduled from 7-9:50pm on Mondays. Barely anyone showed up. He mostly used Zoom for class. He showed movie trailers and Box office numbers for most of the course. I didn't learn anything other than how to make a TV show pitch that could be useful for some people. We had to do a group project which was also a drag, but we made it work.

Overall, lovely man, but I didn't learn much—no exams, just busy work, which took a lot of time.

Easy A, but a waste of time. Liebing's nice and a very relaxed professor, and he had interesting guest speakers sometimes. But his lectures were dull and his teaching style just did not work for me. Each of his presentation slides had 10(!) paragraphs on them, and he would just read them off the page. We were meeting every Monday from 7-9:50PM at Melnitz, and pretty much everyone would leave after the TAs took attendance. Liebing was also incredibly unclear about assignments, and he didn't even seem to know what instructions/deadlines he had for the class. Workload wasn't bad. There are several big projects (such as finding an industry professional to interview, and a group project where you develop a TV/film project with other 10 people and get feedback from executives).
