Fall 2023 - Professor Von Blum is amazing!! He really cares about all of his students! Classes can feel a little long, and he doesn't record/post any slides. No midterm/final just 2 papers (which he assigns with enough time) and one final quiz so you need to have a basic understanding of the material (films and books) to do well.
