Incredibly hilarious and very aware of current social issues, which is surprising considering his age. Overall a very great professor, but has some difficulty in enforcing his syllabus. Can be unorganized sometimes.

Comment:

Grade is mostly two exams. Good news: you can self study and do great (questions are straightforward and easy). Don't bother taking notes, just study right before exams. Lecture with Stanley is boring. He insists you buy his book (only at Shakespeare's) but then regurgitates it for lecture. Attendance mandatory (sign-in), no electronics ever.

The textbook and the lectures is all you need to pass his exams. Also some basic background knowledge on history will really improve your understanding of what hes teaching. Hes funny and tries to grab your attention through clips, images, and stories. The lab is more participating based and a review.

I find it to be an easy class. One of the nicer professors at Hunter. Just read before showing up to class. The textbook he was writing wasn't complete when the course started, but it's no big deal. He's a straight forward guy. I like him way better than the lab professor connected to this class.

He didnt finish writing our textbook & still made us pay for it. Only $17 but still annoying to have to go get an unfinished book. He does big lectures and theyre really easy to fall asleep during. You have to really be awake in order to pay attention.

Comment:

Prof. Stanley is so nice, but I wouldn't say this class is an EASY A just because it's a lot of memorizing, but other than that his exams are very straight forward and definitely not trying to trick you. He gives you a study outline and picks the written questions straight from that outline. Discussions to me were pointless but attendance counts.

Comment:

Honestly just a great professor. You might be a bit bored if Film doesn't interest you, but it's pretty easy to find interesting topics to grab onto in each lecture. His lectures aren't mandatory, as attendance is not taken. Even so, I always went- even when it was my only class of the day and the train ride was longer than the class itself.

Wonderful, wonderful teacher! I read his book for film class and it was well written. I took his media 180 class, and lectures were interesting (albeit sometimes a bit slow). He is very funny, super respectful and incredibly knowledgeable. Uploads all his lectures on video too!!! No devices allowed, but it honestly improved the class.

Comment:

Professor Stanley lectures are a little boring, you can't talk or use your phone or he will point you out, but its an easy A. The class is basically history about media and you can skip the lectures because he posts them online. He gives review sheets which are the same questions on his exam! So answer the questions beforehand and it will be easy.

Lectures are recorded and posted online, so it's fine if you don't attend. Tests are based on assigned readings and occasional content strictly from lectures. Make sure you complete the study guides and memorize specific information that pertain to the study questions as they are key to passing the tests!

Actual love of my life. Sweetest professor I've ever met and is so clearly passionate about what he teaches. Attendance isn't required and he records and posts every lecture online! Very strict about no phones/ computers in lecture but his lectures are so interesting and he's such a funny guy you won't miss it.

Comment:

Sometimes his lectures can be boring but most of the time I found them incredibly entertaining. attendance was optional but I went to class just to see them in person. When given study guides, answer the questions to the best of ability, because the tests are usually is a simplified version of the study guide. Discussion sections are important!

Professor Stanley is very funny and he makes his lectures enjoyable. You don't have to attend lectures because he uploads his video-lectures online. His exams are really easy, do the readings and study your notes from lecture (there were exams where the majority of questions were about class notes/readings). Overall a really easy class.

Super boring but a great professor. Attendance not mandatory and if you watch the video lectures and do the readings, you will pass. Definetley need to work for an A, 3 tests each 25%, no final.

Stanley is the boi, he uploads every lecture online so if you cant attend or dont want to, its fine you can just watch it. He is a funny guy as well that keeps the class interesting and the only grades for the lecture are the tests. But since he is the boi, he gives u weekly questions, just study those and you will do great. Stanley 4 eva

Prof. Stanely is amazing!! He makes media interesting and manages to make you stay awake during lecture. If you can't make it though, he records and uploads videos of the lecture on youtube(you just have to watch them).
