Summer 2025 - I took this class online and async and it was extremely easy. There is one quiz per week and then the final, which is basically just a longer quiz with similar questions. The quizzes test purely on the content of the films and what’s said in the lectures so it’s just about making sure you’ve covered the material. Each week you’re required to watch two films, one 20-minute lecture, and do a few readings. Overall, it’s a easy class to get a good grade in.
