Examples taken from anonymous course surveys...“What did you appreciate about this course?”

Course was in depth and intuitive.

Very informed on filmmaking. Easily explained the concepts of visual storytelling.

His desire to provide feedback during class time. I was challenged to think creatively under the pressure of limited time.

Critical and honest with students' projects and how to fix them.

Jake provided great personal input and amazing lectures. I got the most value from this class out of all of my film classes. All of his input felt like real–world information that will help now and down the road. I will take as many of his classes as I can in the future.

RECENT STUDENT FEEDBACK

Jake Mahaffy has a talent with words. His lectures and notes were really valuable, and I found myself trying to copy everything he said…

Jake is filled with passion and knowledge about the film industry, and I think that made his lectures engaging. I also appreciate how a lot of the material he taught is very relevant to today's industry.

He had so much passion about what he taught and it could be felt through the way he spoke to the class. It made you want to listen and invest energy and time.

Jake is super insightful, very wise, and clearly a very talented filmmaker. I thoroughly enjoyed learning from him this semester– and I look forward to continuing a working mentorship with him.

He cares and it shows. He also went out of his way to give outside–of–school connections and experiences to his students.
