Comment:

I found Kevin Hager's class to be extremely useful; and yes, he IS understanding (I had a lot of technical difficulties with my laptop and he was always very helpful). You have to learn a lot of the software outside of class, and Adobe Premier isn't listed as a requirement, but I highly recommend buying it to make life easier. Glad I took his class

Comment:

Honestly, he's a really, really nice guy. But he's not interested in video storytelling at all. Don't take this class with Hager -- you will learn nothing, and it will not motivate you to pursue Electronic Media. In fact, it might have the opposite effect.

Comment:

Dr. Hager tried his best! And in a large lecture class of over 100, it's extremely difficult to engage everybody. Introduce yourself at the beginning of semester and drop by his office hours so he remembers you. And do read the chapters!

Comment:

He does seem like he is uninterested, mostly with people. His tests are not meant to be passed and he is not very understanding of circumstances.

Comment:

The structure of this class sets students up to fail before they even start. The Elliott School only owns 4 GL2 camcorders to use for a class that has up 14 people. Gettin equipment is hard enough, but to make it worse evey one of the cameras are broken in some way. In addition, students are only allowed to use the lab between 8 and 5. Impossible.

I really didn't like him at all. I felt that he had complete disinterest in the class. After watching everyone's videos by the end of the week, it was clear to me how little this class would prepare you for a decent career.

Great Guy! Don't miss class to much. As long as you communicate well with him, he's willing to work. No late work, but if you pay attention, you will learn a lot. A lot of info, not to bad.

I like the guy. Really nice. The class only meets once a week and he's juggling to classes at the same time. Studio B and Video Production but he makes it work. Great class. learned a ton.

Comment:

Truely a trial-by-fire class. Is stressful at first, but you learn alot. Doesn't grade down for mistakes, just expects you to learn from them. All tests are take home making the class an easy A. Nice guy, just don't miss too many classes. meets 1/wk.
