Very easy class, Funny guy, fun to go to.
great class.teacher is really funny.u just watch movies...sometimes can get full of himself an get on a power trip(turn off cell phones before class:)
arrogant person. Came late to class one day because of some idiot on the highway decided to make a traffic jam on the highway. I told him about it and he said "not my problem". Otherwise the class is easy and your grade is based on attendants.
An old man trying to look young. With a spray-painted bald spot, hair implants and high heels on his boots, you get the idea. He's rude and inconsiderate, thinks because of his position he can get away with it. Time to retire Ed.
EASY A, just show up and dont skrew around!
Very crude with the jokes, very knowledgable on his subject, and treats students the way the industry (theatre/screen) tends to treat "nobodies", overall an easy prof. if you don't screw around, but doesn't like to hear excuses.
Upper Division class therefore he's a little more rougher than Drama 62. Still RUDE, but he takes the subject seriously. Acts as if his class is and SHOULD BE the students ONLY concern. Bah.
Easy class as long as you show up, but if you don't like dirty jokes then he isn't for you. All you do is watch boring old movies.
No personal skills. Very very rude if you have to work with him outside of class.

This guy is an idiot. Everything he says about theatre is wrong. He has given out so much wrong information he should be fired. I'm disgusted that he still has a job!!!! Such a jerk!
Easy A. Just come to class and don't be late.
i personally think, hes the one of the honest teachers out there, so what if hes rude, rude only if theres a reason to be, like lateness, or talking during class or missing class. If you want an easy A, take it but you will have to deal with his ways
go to class, and ull get that A, thats it.
He is such an ass about everything. His class is a joke. He's a joke. If you need an esay A take his class, but don't expect him to be friendly. His jokes are digusting. He's digusting. I can't believe he still has a job.
SUPER SUPER EASY Class. Just go to class every day and you'll get an A. Funny jokes, cusses at students, and easy tests. Half of the movies are cool, half are gay. Take this class to get an EASY A. Don't listen to the haters cause he is only a b*tch to the dumb f*cks and not to the students.
super easy class, though u will learn. he says alot of obscene things, and swears a lot, other wise easy A if u attend every lecture.
Easy A just dont miss class...PS I think he likes to pack fudge on the side.
easiest class u willo ever take. NO essay to write and you can use your notes on all test. He can be a true ass but who cares its the easiest a i eer got and i didnt even have to take the final or go the last 3 weeks
I enjoyed the class. He's easy as long as you go to class. Don't take him as your first class though, because if you are late, you'll be sorry. I learned a lot from him. If you have previous theater experience, he favors you tho.
easy easy A, as long as you attain class and get all the things he talks about onto your notes. Just don't get on his bad side or you'll be sorry.
Easy A! this class is great! watch movies and hear the professor tell you about his life stories that are a little out there but mostly there funny.
Great guy, good teacher. Funny. Wish we wrote more in this class.

Do not take drama from any other teacher, you'll regret it.
this class is SO interesting and funny and easy. If you can't get at least a B+ in this class, you're retarded
Funnest teacher you'll take. Tests are based directly off of the notes. Can use notes on the test. HAVE to go to class for attendance and notes, but not boring. No reading/HW. If you get A's on the tests, you dont have to take the final.
this teacher is the tyte of the tyte...honestly show up everyday and turn off ya phone and **** around watch movies..listen to the funniest stories ever....you love this class...take it...take it...take it..take it...TAKE IT!!
this guy is hilarious cant miss class though

This class is a rite of passage for any student at Fresno State. Take Drama 62 only with him. It will be one of the most memorable classes you will ever have.
Easiest summer class ever. Just make sure your phone is off and don't try to sleep. he kicked ppl out for that stuff, but we just watched movies and then talked about them after. Cake.
Best class to take at Fresno State, you learn a lot because he is so hilarious! Just follow his guidelines and you'll get an A.

don't try to cheat. You cannot get away with having someone sign you in. It's been proven over and over. Show up, shut up, and stay up and the A is yours.
Easy but a jerk!
Ok this dude is CRAZY, i'm not kidding you. He puts off this appearence of being a "COOL" professor, but out of class, hes an ass. i think he was actually one of those poor little kids in grade school who was picked on but other than that, this CLASS is EXTREMELY easy, no joke, all you have to do is SHOW UP to get an A.
This was by far the only class I truly enjoyed while I was at Fresno. The class teaches you more than just Drama, but more about life, and you definitely start understanding the life of Ed a lot more... and it takes you further to watch others around you. It's an easy A, and you'll learn a lot... even things that after 5 years, you'll still sit back and think about his class.
He is a complete nutcase AND an ****! But I loved his class. He was svery enthusiastic about his lectures. Just make sure to GO! Don't have someone sign you in, my friend got kicked out for that! He makes NO exceptions! We had to watch crappy movies like Rambo and Bloodsport and some movie with Arnold. That sucked. But I got an A and didn't even take the final. This is definitely a GPA booster.
This guy is so amazingly funny! He takes attendance every class period. Turn cell phones off during class or else he'll embarass you in front of everyone. You watch movies and listen to his wacky stories!
better laugh at his jokes or else...
attendence is half your grade. paper not difficult. quizzes daily. very intelligent but wouldnt ever take him again. better be a drama major if you take this class.
easiest class ever been to, didnt miss any of the classes coz they were all fun and exciting. anyone whole gets a B in this class is a fool!!!
intelligent but a little crazy. he licks to pick on people. midterm is hard but its all open note and handouts. reading daily and quizzes. i personally dont like him at all
Very easy class!!Attendence is a BIG part of your grade!!So don't miss class. If you get an 'A' on the first 2 tests you dont have to go back!! Don't take from any other teacher!! Probably the easiest class at State!!
If you fail this class, don't tell anyone cause it is totally your fault. This is so easy and so fun to listen to him talk.
The rumors @State are true, EASIEST class you can ever ace!He's funny,helpful,explanitory,and rude,but what prof.isn't?I don't know what that last person's smoking about reading-you don't even buy the book!Open note tests, 2 aced tests means you can stop going the last 2wks and no final. Take notes on everything, even the stories.And, GO TO CLASS!
This man is a big time putz. The hallways at Fresno State are too narrow for his inflated ego.The man needs to retire along with his varied styles of sweatpants. And by the way, the word "easy" shouldn't be equated with "good." I learned nothing in his class except that he's and ass when not inside of it.
CRAZY!!!!!
Crazy crazy crazy! I was only ever in one of his shows and that was more than enough, this man is crazy. I would say be careful about getting on his bad side but I honestly do not think he would remember who anyone was long enough to ruin this college career
awesome teacher. get your popcorn ready.
Probably the funniest teacher I have had in my whole college career. He really likes the F word too. Haha. Gives you all the notes and lets you use them on the test. If you get an A on the first two test you don't have to take the final or come to class anymore.
BEST CLASS EVER! if you go to class you will get an A for sure. all test including the final are open note. he talks about some CRAZY stuff. dirty and cusses a lot! lol..but its awesome!
Easiest and funnest class ever! He keeps you entertained and literally gives you the answers to the tests. All you have to do is attend class everyday and take notes on what he tells you to write. I recommend this class because it's an easy A and it's a class that you would look forward to going to.
He is AMAZING.....highly recommended..:D...Easy tests coz it is open book and he gives u wat will b on the test!! soo just remember to bring ur notes...even if u forget he will give u a make up exam...just make sure u atten all the classes coz 50% of ur grade is based on ur attendance..and MAKE SURE UR CELL PHONE IS switched off in this class:)
ONE OF THE EASIEST CLASSES EVER. I LOVE THIS GUY. HE IS HILARIOUS AND FUNNY. THIS HAS GOT TO BE ONE OF THE FUNNEST CLASSES EVER. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM TO EVERYONE. YOU WILL NEVER WANT TO MISS CLASS BECAUSE IT'S FUN. ALL TESTS ARE OPEN NOTE AND HE MAKES IT VERY EAST TO PASS. NO BOOK NEEDED.
really easy class. you could use your notes. only problem is that he sometimes used really bad language but if you could handle that then you should take this class.
Dr. Emanuel is entertaining, funny, but could be offensive to some. He loves what he teaches to the students and he makes EVERYTHING VERY CLEAR about this class. ATTENDANCE IS MANDATORY(50% of your grade). Tests are straightforward from lecture notes. I enjoyed his class and didn't even have to take the final! :-] Highly recommended! -- Easy "A"!
EASY CLASS!! very offensive..lets just say he goes into a LOT of detail about what the movie deep throat was about...has interesting stories but like I said..very offensive..lots of language..sometimes just seemed crazy.
Great Professor. I looked forward to going to his class. The mandatory Fresno State writing assignment for this class is the notes..so you take the notes..and at the end of the semester you give him your notebook. Great Class. Must go to class 50% of your grade..u will look forward to it though.
His class is easy for sure, but the way he talks is scary...probably because he has a loud voice. I took his summer session and all I remember we did was watch a movie per day and then copy his notes at the end of the movie...our final was to compare the notes from the movie.
his class is like super easy
Great Class for sure. Attendance is mandatory and so are notes. Class if Fun and interesting. Just save notes and turn them in at end of semester. :)
Attendance is they key to getting an A. Don't be late, and take your notes and you'll get an A.
Very easy class!!!! Take him!!!! Lets you have notes for test, very entertaining as well. Worth attending
wonderful class. so entertaining. go to class, he tells you what notes to take.
Excellent Professor! He has been in show business for years. I took his class 2 years ago and I still remember how fun it was. Just make it to every class, which wont be hard, and you will get an A. Awesome teacher super fun class. This is how all GE's in college should be :)
Easy class but lectures were kinda a bore. He hates sororitys and fraternitys so don't wear letters!
One of my most favorite instructors!! You feel like you actually want to go to class! I strongly recommend him!! :)
This is such a fin class. I enjoy this immensely and the professor is just finny. He tells it like it is. Attendance is mandatory and so is note taking. The exams are easy As and open note test. He is a great professor and would recommend him to anyone who needs an easy class.
One of the best class at Fresno State. He is very knowledgeable in his field though he looks intimidating, he sure is funny and smart. I would take another class with him if possible. If you get A's on his first 2 exams then you'll be fine no need to take the 3rd and the final. In conclusion, EASY A!
He is one of the best prof i have had here. Really easy class as long as you take good notes. His tests are ALL based on the notes, and with an open note test its EXTREMELY hard to fail his test. NOTE: keep your notes, dont through them away after the exam, he collects them at the end of the semester, and are part of your grade.
easy class but he really doesnt care because he gives you all the answers to the tests. no midterm and no final. i liked it cuz it was easy
He is the funniest professor. Attendance is mandatory but the class is very funny and you get to watch a lot of movies. No papers, or presentaions. If you go to class you will get a good grade.
Awesomest teacher! loved his stories. easy A as long as you go to class, dont cheat, and take the notes.
Ed was a good professor. He was very entertaining. This was one of the easiest classes that I have taken. If you fail this class, that is really sad because you can use your notes. Also if you receive A's on your first two exams, then you don't have to take the final. Class is mandatory so NEVER miss class cuz it is half your grade.
This is an easy class. You can use notes on the exams and they are pretty easy. If you get an A on both of the two first exams, then you don't have to take the final. Attendance is mandatory and half of your grade.
Great teacher! You will never be bored in lectures because he blends the lecture material with his personal experiences... you are guaranteed a good grade if you attend class,don't cheat or do anything dumb that he can see. Easy A class. Take it!! He's awesome!
Class was SUPER EASY. Everything was off the notes. I always loved going to his class. He's a hilarious professor. One of the best at Fresno State
Probably the worlds most interesting teacher and best lecturer! Dreaded coming to other lectures, while i ALWAYS wanted to come to his class. Seriously we watched movies half the time like blood sport and rambo!
Super easy class but didn't like going to class at all. Attendance is 50% of your grade. Easy A but he's not the best teacher
Awesome class!!! Just show up you'll have a B for sure... Attendance is 50% of your grade
He is an okay professor. Very strict about phone, and will take away your phone if he sees it during class. Watched movies most of the time in class which is really interesting and fun. Tests are easy but you just have to do it diligently. Can use notes! :D if you get an A on your first two tests, you don't have to show up for classes& final.easy A
good lecturer. watch a movie almost every class. NO HOMEWORK!!! you writing assignment are your notes. so you have to attend class which is also %50 of your grade. also any notes you take are on the test and u get to use you notes on the test. get an A on the first two tests and you no longer have to come to class or take the final. Easy A.
he's a good eacher until you get to his bad side... dont ever touch your phone or sign friends in or else you'll automatically fail!
Today was my last day of class and I have to say I'm really bummed! Drama 62 with Ed was pretty freaking awesome, he's a cool guy and is extremely helpful, easy A is guaranteed unless you're a lazy ass. Plus, it's pretty cool that he resembles Robin Williams! Be sure to come to class, all we do is watch movies anyway. Highly recommended!
Best GE class ever! Watch old movies like Rambo, Blood Sport, Conan, Cry Baby, other short clips. Lectures are really entertaining! Use your notes on the test and the notes count as your required GE paper. Can buy his short textbook, but not necessary. You will want to show up to his class it is so entertaining. And he is too!
Awesome teacher. He does not make you do much. All he requires is for you to attend lecture and take notes! That's it! Easiest GE course ever. Do what he says and get an easy A!
This is honestly the easiest class you will ever take your whole time in college. Tests are open note but yet tricky so make sure you go to class everyday and take notes. no cellphones. He is so funny, tells stories and watch movies, all we do !
This class is a MUST at Fresno State Had a stressful semester but this class was my escape. Laughed my butt off everyday. Thank you Ed!
Automatic A in this class
This class was fun!! really easy class its impossible to fail! He tells you what to write as your notes and his tests are open note. The G.E writing requirement are all your notes stapled together. He doesn't like phones and he will spot you if your using your phone and kik you out. The text book is not required so attend class if you want an A!
This was the easiest class that I have taken at Fresno State. I went to every class to get a good laugh. The tests are open note tests and if you do not get the grade you want you can retake it. Automatic A.
This class is very easy. You could use your notes for your tests. Easy A. All you do is listen to his stories and watch movies with drama.
Very easy class. He is a funny professor. Two exams and a final. Attendance is mandatory and he does not like you using your phone in class
Seriously an easy A. The tests are open note, & if you get an A on each of the exams (which you should be), then you don't have to take the final. He's pretty funny but a bit obnoxious, in my opinion.
You'll be entertained with Dr. Emanuel's lectures! This is one of the classes you really don't want to miss! A lot of his lectures are pretty straightforward, and also on the test. Did I not mention, the tests and the final are open note? And there's no textbook? It's an easy A class that is sure to please.
I loved this class, wish I could take it again. Perfect class for a busy semester
Literally the easiest class you can take. Sucks that it is his last semester teaching. Funny dude tho!
HE IS A GREAT PROFESSOR! THE TEST ARE OPEN NOTES AND THE NOTES HE TELLS YOU TO WRITE DOWN ARE THE ANSWERS TO THE TEST! ATTENDANCE IS MANDATORY AND IT CAN AFFECT YOUR GRADE BECAUSE HE TAKES ROLE. SOME OF THE FILMS ARE INTERESTING WHILE OTHERS ARE BORING! OVERALL JUST TAKE HIS CLASS! IT'S AN EASY A+!
If you're curious about learning how to write a film, Ed would be your go-to person! He's very knowledgeable in writing scripts & teaches a lot of those concepts to write a good movie. The workload isn't too much - basically, you're writing your own film of your choice & coming up with your own plot, characters, etc. Fun class, definitely recommend
An amazing professor that showed the possibilities for pursuing Script Writing professionally. I loved his class and learned so much for script writing and other Creative Writing classes. My all time favorite class this semester and I'm sad he doesn't teach other writing classes, because he is insightful and simply amazing. Great class!
He's a very easy and nice professor! You will love his classes! I don't even have to explain his course in details because for sure you will pass! Unless you're just a VERY LAZY bum...
The best & most inspirational theater director I have ever worked with ... His knowledge about theater is of the highest caliber among all the theater teachers at CSU Fresno ...
Easiest A! Show up and you get credit. Hes super passionate about Greek mythology and wants you to love it too. You watch a lot of movies and are expected to pay attention. No phones allowed and participation is what he truly desires. All exam questions he gives you the answers and he truly just wants to give you an A!
This is the best professor on campus.
