Cool guy, class was really easy. Most of the time we watch videos from You Tube and then got out of class early. I don't think he really read the assignments that we turned in. He spent a lot of time off topic and didn't really control the class.

I had Middleton for many classes and he was my advisor in the Social Media minor at MSU. Class act. Any class issues I ever had with scheduling it was always taken care of as quickly as possible. Classes are fun and he likes discussion but really wants you to pad your portfolio for work.

Laid back and overall solid knowledge of the media production field. Classes are fun and follow directions you will do just fine. Never really uses a book.

I took Professor Middleton for his COMS 110 Strategic Messaging class. The class is very interesting, and I learned about basic video editing. Professor Middleton is a good professor, and teaches the class well. However, his grading is tough for projects. If you are not careful enough to check small editing details, it will be counted for in grade.

Ive had professor Middleton for two classes and he is a great professor. For COMS 110 there arent many assignments so he does grade slightly tougher on them. There is a textbook for the class, used to take quizzes with outside of class. He is easy to get along and makes sure his students understand the assignments.

I really like Dr. Middleton, I took this course for a gen-ed class and it was very easy! I like writing papers and in this course I wrote about 6. He's a very easy grader, as long as you turn in the papers on time and give it your best shot, you'll get a good grade. Very nice and responds to emails quick!

If you want to learn about media writing and making documentaries he is simply the best at it at MSU. He seems to be the only current faculty that truly knows what the job market is like in the media field. Middleton was a mentor to me and other students in my time at MSU.

Simply put I have used Professor Middleton for job references and he has written me many letters of recommendations. Not many professors would do that. He is very respected and connected and really cares about students if you show him respect.

If you just do the work you will get a good grade. He has very reasonable expectations. I was concerned by the amount of papers at first, but they are really not that bad and pertain to interesting topics.

I worked with Middleton producing a class documentary film. He was a great mentor and teacher to all of us. Even more so he wrote me a letter of recommendation that led to me getting a job after graduation. The man is respected and is well connected in media fields. I can't stress enough how much he has helped me.

A laid back and funny professor. He clearly knows his stuff about filmmaking. You can tell he does not suffer fools easily with lazy and late students. Very by the book with his class rules. If you want to learn he is your guy for film.

I had Middleton for the Level Up social media course. We ran live social media campaigns for actual clients. I achieved Level Up status at MSU through this class. He gave me opportunities to boost my resume. He is a great person for a recommendation letter as you can tell he is respected amongst his peers and professionals.

One of my top 3 favorites in my time at MSU. Laid back but very knowledgeable about new media and documentary. Never talks about his own success much but is very successful and knows his stuff. I had a chance to do a research project film with him. Not many other professors would care that much.

One of my favorite at MSU. Prioritizes building a portfolio and real world learning over essays and quizzes. I highly recommend. He does require attendance and is very much focused on you putting in effort and not just being on your phone the whole hour.

If you go to class and do the work you will be fine. He does not suffer fools that come in late or misses a ton of class. I enjoyed the lectures as they were different than most professors that just powerpoint and talk. He made you discuss class topics on media.

Professor Middleton is hilarious and very cute. You will like his class if you like to learn. Participation and attendance matter, so don't be late for class. If you show up and try, you will do okay in his courses. On any assignments, he gives a lot of time to complete them. Follow the deadlines and you will be okay.

Funny, intellectual, and a different kind of professor in a good way. Not hard if you go to class and put in an effort, gives you long due dates so expect things to be due if you struggle it's because you didn't put in any effort or did didn't come to class.
