Since he is a busy person, you will have to wait for ages before he gets back to you, so you probably would want to find the answer yourself. I also know for a fact that he does not read the papers you hand in, he just gives you an A. He also stood me up twice in the course of the semester. Franco is a great actor but an appalling teacher.

But James seems sleepy and distracted and doesn't give feedback because he doesn't read our writing. The concept for the class is great.
But James is a joke of a professor. May 1st, Since it's James Franco week at the movies, with Oz the Great and Powerful out last week and Spring Breakers opening today, we thought it would be a good time to bring you Curcio's inside scoop on the experience:. And then when I got here last year I took a poetry workshop.
I've always just been really into writing so when they offered this type of creative writing class, which was screenplay, I was interested and I figured it wouldn't hurt to apply. I didn't think I would get in but I ended up getting in.
I would say it would be both. I read his short stories when they came out and a lot of people don't really like his writing but I think that he took creating writing classes here as well, and that he is kind of in the same type of genre of writing that I really like, which is kind of that new contemporary, dirty new Bukowski era of writing.
It's dirty realism. I know that he loves Ginsberg and all of the beats so I figured that it would be cool to see what he is into. So each week we'll bring in a piece of fiction, which is pretty normal for a writing workshop. We are in this zone of writing where everyone knows we are kind of looking for autobiographical, a fictionalized version of yourself…. The experimental part is we film on two cameras the whole class and the readings.
We'll film the feedback James gives us, the discussions of the readings and movies of the week. They are also teaching us how to edit so it's kind of like a writing, film appreciation and editing film hybrid. So basically each week one or two people switch off with the footage and…cut a little three-minute episode with [footage from] the class and with footage that we film on our own. I was okay with it. The first three weeks everyone was a little nervous. We are all like the writing type and not actors, so it's just weird to be filmed and see yourself.
It's pretty normal now. I think my first day was actually the second week because I was on the waitlist and somebody dropped. The class was just two days and happened during July of Students had to audition to get in. World globe An icon of the world globe, indicating different international options.
