Spring 2017 - If you need this class for the minor or even just for fun!! Take this class. 2 quizzes open notes and you can talk to your neighbor You learn so much about what goes into a film and creating it's story. You won't lookat movies the same. I highly recommend this class, its an easy A. The professor is really funny and laid back. The TA's were great too!

Fall 2016 - Professor is a former screenwriter, director, and producer (you may find her on IMDb). 1 hour lecture consists of her presenting a slideshow then showing a small clip from a film. Her style is rambling but she is upbeat and friendly. Points for her trying to be funny to give us a good time (note how I say 'trying'). Lots of athletes in class taking up 3 seats with their wingspan. For discussion, each week we produce 2 pages of our screenplay. We start doing table reads in small groups around week 5. Final is the first ten pages of our screenplay. Must attend lecture and discussion for attendance points. Easy A and low time commitment.
