- **2020-04** — Medium workload, the grades are great and the classes are very fun.

- **2020-04** — It's awesome especially if you're into cinema. Doyle's a great teacher, really but the workload's heavy. You have to write reflections and assignments on scripts you'll read, write a good portion of your own feature-length film, read other people's scripts,write a short film and film it etc. basically there's a good amount of work but it's worth it, he's cool and it's fun

- **2020-04** — The instructor is awesome. its a lot of work but very enjoyable

- **2020-04** — His class is really nice and fun. Not boring at all. The lowest grade he gave this semester is 81. There are a lot of assignments but if u enjoy writing you will not find the class demanding at all.

- **2020-04** — He's a Fun instructor, but he gives us a lot of work. Do the assignments and guarantee a grade above 80

- **2020-04** — Instructor is probably the best professor ever. easy grader, very fun class.
