Don't take this class theres only 3 tests that you are graded for and one outside event. All his tests are based on memory. Theres no fill in the blank, word bank, or anything of the sort. All tests are essay tests. When I say essay I mean 3-4 page essays. All I can say is just stay away from this class. I had to dropped and so will you.

One of the best professors I have ever had! He's super cool and a legit professor that knows what he's talking about. He doesn't mind telling you what he's thinking and will help you however he can. Ranjan LOVES emails. EMAIL HIM QUESTIONS! Would recommend him to anyone. His class is difficult, but if you study and work hard then you will be fine.

Can't say enough good things about this teacher. He cares about what he teaches and gives you all the tools to be successful in this course, but you do have to work for it. The class is always fun and entertaining. There is a lot of memorization involved so make sure to hold on to your notes. I wish I could take more of this professor's classes.

I took one look at the syllabus and how he did the first test and nearly dropped his course but I'm glad I stayed, he keeps the class fun and interesting. If you're not good a memorization though this is not the class for you. For parts of his tests you need to rewrite 3-4 pages of notes from memory which can be pretty tough.

Dr Chibber is the second most favorite professor I've had in my college career. The material is not textbooks, its comic books and also some interesting reading material! His class is about memorization, so if you don't memorize well this class is not for you. Overall however he is funny but very serious about what he teaches! Would take him again!

This is by far the best college course I have ever taken. Although if you are afraid to do a lot of hard work don't take it. Ranjan tells you upfront in the course description that you have to work for an A and he means it! He is absolutely hilarious and a genuinely nice guy!

Dr. Chhibber refers to himself in the third person context throughout the entirety of the class. I took his Film Studies course; it is not a cake course, but he does make it very enjoyable. 1st test was on the syllabus information, completion makes a written contract of the information enclosed within. I wish I needed more courses from this area.

He refers to himself in the third person. Very prideful sounding and definitely a my way or the highway kind of guy. Hes a nice man but theres a lot of gore and explicit things such as nudity and F bombs(nonstop in the videos I might add). Film studies class was more about pro wrestling than film. Would not recommend for a Christian to take.

Right when I logged into blackboard for the first day of the film studies course, the professor had so much written on the page. He says himself that the tests are hard and you have to do a 2 part video project where you have to video yourself, head to toe. So I wouldn't suggest taking this class if you aren't a hard worker and camera shy.

Professor Ranjan is the greatest teacher to take Film Studies with. Nonetheless, you have to read a lot, and love the subject if you want to 100% succeed. He is hilarious and makes the course fun. I enjoyed it. He gave excellent feedback and always available for his students. Now, I know a lot about film and theories, thanks to my professor.

Absolutely loved this class. Professor Ranjan made this class fun and interesting. There were a lot of things that I did not know that I learned in this class. Which made it that more interesting. You do have to put in the work but it is really fun. I recommend this class and would take it again if I could. Awesome Professor!

Ranjan is AWESOME! I took him for HUM2020 and i liked it so much i came back for his LIT2100! At first he can come off strict but he is all bark and no bite, he will help you! His lectures are very interesting and so are the films and clips he shows. All his tests are pure memorization but its so interesting you cant forget. Take him you'll love it

Mr. Ranjan Chhibber is one of the best professors I have ever had. I had him for an Online film class and I thoroughly enjoyed the class! My class was online and from the beginning I could tell it would be a fun class. He is a very funny and genuinely nice guy. He gives great feedback! He wants you to learn so you have to do the work!

This prof takes a film studies class way too seriously. I had friends tell me taking this class is a great way to get a good grade, but this prof gives you so much reading and assignments. He has 7 TESTS all due on the SAME DAY. This class doesn't even end until 10/15 yet he's making everything due 2 wks before. He uses his name in 3rd person too.

Prof Ranjan Chhibber definitely makes humanities HUM2020 interesting. I have never taken an easy humanities course. So yes be prepared to watch full version films, clips, read books for exams, but very interesting topic. Nothing comes easy you do have to watch and know material in order to pass this course. QUIZLET WILL NOT HELP YOU in this course.

Stay on top of your work, go above what's expected & apply yourself, detailed answers is an automatic grade booster! He's super nice & gives great feedback!

Way too particular about everything. For one project in particular we have to submit videos of ourselves. There were extremely specific details about where in the frame we were supposed to be and exactly how much space was allowed above and below us. I got a high A in this class and the work itself was not difficult, but I would NEVER take again.

One of the first college classes I've taken and the professor was wonderful. Movies are important to the class, as is the required reading. Make sure you spend plenty of time memorizing certain movie and book scenes. Study guides given before the tests are extremely important to complete; the best/most useful study guides I've ever gotten.

Professor Ranjan wants to see you succeed and make the class enjoyable. There was lots of reading however one reading requirement was a comic and it was quite interesting. He gives great feedback on your work and every assignment is clear. If you read the instructions/do what youre supposed to and actually try, you will enjoy the class!

He is my favorite professor I've had!He is very funny, easy to contact, and his study guides are very clear and easy to understand. Ranjan warns about all of the possibly offensive material his classes cover in the first lecture, and warns you about how hard his class is. If you aren't good at hard memorization, don't take this class.

honestly was one of the more obnoxious teachers I've had to deal with. He talks about himself in third person and compliments how good he is at everything, super weird and annoying to deal with as a teacher, And don't forget he uses a very dumb video project where you have to record yourself reenacting a scene, he grades it tough for no reason

I found this class really interesting however the professor is a huge movie lover and it shows during his lessons through the clips and movies shown. You HAVE to read his assigned books in a quick manner otherwise you will struggle to complete his tests based on them. Do his study guides before hand and you won't go wrong.

Definitely one of my more interesting professors. He's funny once you get used to him and most of the work is painless since you're given plenty of time to complete it. The video project wasn't my favorite, but if you follow the guidelines he sets out for you its a solid 100%. However, some of the assignments are wordy (but still understandable.)
