Comment:
Akers has a lot of experience in screenwriting and continuously shows samples from his own works in progress. The class is best for someone who intends on making it in the industry, but anyone who does the work can succeed. Attendance isn't mandatory, but he gives away perfect attendance pins at the end of the semester.

Great professor. Attendance not mandatory, but the pin is worth it! A good amount of work, but it is all on your film, so if you enjoy filmmaking, take this class for sure. Infact take every class that Will has to offer. Hes a great teacher. He will even give you his cell and you can call if you need anything.

Akers is a great professor. If you attend every class, you receive a perfect attendance pin. Work tends to be heavy, but easy. If you try and show an interest, expect at least a B.

Incredible professor. Class attendence not mandatory, but he awards a perfect attendance pin at the end of the semester. Actually class involves weekly writing assignments. If you care about the class, it's an easy A. If you get behind or stop caring, expect to do horribly.

All textbooks he gives you are suggested reading only. We had no papers and no tests. For our final exam he just said, "Okay now make a movie." Very time-consuming but sooo worth it.

Easiest professor in the world to get along with if you're interested in the material. Very engaging guy who doesn't force you to do anything. If you do the work you'll get the grade you deserve. He's flexible and real chill. Loved all 5 of his classes that i've taken

The class is mainly difficult because it's so incredibly time consuming. But if you put in effort and produce a good product he'll give you a great grade.

Awesome, laidback guy, very practical and professional. So laidback that I wasn't expecting him to shred my final paper like he did.
