Spring 2025 - This class was a bit of a strange experience, and I wouldn’t recommend it to others. I consistently attended lectures and participated, yet I didn’t receive full participation credit, which was frustrating and unclear. The essay grading felt inconsistent or unusually strict. I received low 90's on my essays, which gave me an A-, but it left me questioning the criteria. The professor also waited until the last minute to post the final grade, which added unnecessary stress. The workload was reasonable for an upper-division elective, but there seemed to be a noticeable preference toward certain students. While earning an A is challenging, an A- seems more within reach. 25% Reading analysis 25% Video analysis 25% Product(ion) analysis 15% Video project 10% In-class and discussion board participation
