Summer 2024 - I cannot stress this enough--- please take this class! Not only do you get to watch some amazing films, but the professor is also extremely knowledgeable about everything film-related. She is also accommodating and understanding and loves to chat during office hours. If I could retake this class I would. The structure for this summer was broken down into 20% participation which meant you had to attend every lecture and engage with the material. There was also 20% for homework which was turned in at the end of the session that had to do with written components for each of the weeks. Then the rest was broken down into 3 separate papers; The first was just putting together a paper where you search for sources in a database, the second was a research paper based on a prompt given, and the third was just a film analysis on a film of your choice from the syllabus. The extra credit was based on discussion posts and also attending film screenings.

Spring 2019 - Let me save you ten weeks of your life. Don't take it. Nope. Don't. This was the most disorganized class I've taken at UCLA and it's unfortunate because this class had the potential to be great. The professor was less than competent to teach, even though he clearly has the knowledge. The TAs run the class because the professor is clueless as to what is happening with the course. You will wish you were anywhere else than in that lecture... The class has 3 papers and a final exam. Readings every week posted on CCLE. Pick a different film class, this one just isn't worth your time.
