Comment:
Professor Lippert is not that bad, he is just old school and a bit opinionated. He gets off topic easy and does NOT hand out any assignment instructions. But the class is simple, 4 speeches and 2 papers. The speech topics are easy, minimal effort needed. Email him for help if anything. Also he lets you rewrite speeches for a better grade

Be prepared to to write lots of papers. You must state his opinion to get a good grade even if your idea makes sense and you can support your thesis. If it is not his belief you will fail the paper. People who have worked together on papers and wrote similar ideas one would get an A and one would fail. Proceed with caution and hope you are a fav.

Pompous, conceited, and wants you to write his way or the highway. Gives no regard for effort and has no respect for any opinion other than his own.

Comment:
Took him for pop culture was very boring in lecture, skipped class all the time. It was a very easy class had a midterm and a final as well as maybe two short essay assignments. It was all super easy. You do need the one book he requires but its very cheap on amazon. He does take attendance but I skipped all the time and still finished with an A.

He would just go on and on about things that didn't even relate to anything in class. I would bring my laptop and sit on Facebook and I still got a B in the class.

Comment:
Each class consists of a movie. He gives questions based on the movie you choose one to write a paper to be completed for the next class. You can rewrite these papers until you receive the grade you want. If you take notes on the lecture, writing these papers will be a breeze. Also do not waste money on a textbook.

Comment:
Dr. Lippert is awesome. Some people think he is condescending because he likes to explain certain cinematic terms that most students are unfamiliar with. You should be thankful for this; he's really helpful if you ASK FOR ADVICE. If you have a strong knowledge of art house film, you'll do great. If not, you need to see him during office hours.

Goes WAY too hard on grading papers for his Intro to Film class. I actually put work into them and enjoyed the movies and still received C's.

Dr. Lippert is one of the smartest professors on campus. This man is so knowledgeable in a plethora of fields within communications. His lectures are long, but if you keep up with what he is saying, you walk away with some great knowledge. I am very happy I took his classes, as they have opened my mind up significantly to all kinds of Mass Media.

Lippert's the man. Had him three times, all A's. Listen to his lectures, take notes and rework his words into your own original ideas and you won't have any problems in his classes. Shows great movies too.

Great guy. If you can get passed his off-topic lectures, the classes are good. I had him 3 times and I don't regret none of the times. He's very helpful and easy to work with. I received A's on all papers from just the stuff he says. he's very intelligent and wants you to express yours.

Comment:
Judging by most of the commentary, these people deserved F's. His tests are very difficult and meticulous, and he's very opinionated. But that does not mean he lacks as a professor. He's an extremely intelligent man, and he is very useful and knowledgeable on the topic of film. Would I suggest taking this class? No, unless you're majoring in film

Pretty much got Fs on all the papers. If you go to class and write his lecture word for word you get an A, anything else in an F. Very boring. He does let you rewrite papers to help grades.

Awesome class. I learned a lot. If you understand the material and create original ideas and thoughts on midterms and papers you will do well. I received an A on every assignment. Engaging him in class is the easiest way to learn the material he teaches.

Cool Dude. At first, i hated him . His class is long as hell, he gave me a c on my first paper and ridiculed it. BUT after going to talk about my paper he tells you what to write. If you rewrite the essay you pretty much get an A. Also if you Comm major he loves you. i go see him every week and he loves me. Really cool dude

Lippert is awsome. I had him for film study and it might have been boring but he made it easy. He's kinda hard to take notes on cuz he just rambles but the papers are so easy. I got an A on everyone of them. His midterm and final are impossible but he curves them so much that I got and A on both of them. He writes on every paper how u could improve

This man is a terrible teacher. He write on everyone paper that they are terrible writers. I didn?t take you for English but for film study. If you have half the question answered right no worries because your still getting an f. you need to just write what he says. If you like to give your opinion; I wouldn?t take him because he will not listen

WORST TEACHER IN THE WORLD!! It seriously is the most boring class as well. Most kids fell asleep during the class. There was a paper due every week and then the final was 10 papers starting with things from the beginning of the semester. It was ridiculous. He wont help you & grades VERY hard. He thinks he knows it all and is not clear AT ALL!
