Winter 2024 - Professor Rushing was very passionate about the course material however I was not. This made it hard to follow and very confusing throughout. I felt that this class was all over the place and it was hard to find the true meaning of the course. We learned Operas and Novels and now how to properly film something. Very hard for me to follow and I often felt that what was expected of us was a little much.
