Fall 2024 - A very solid class. You have a weekly blog post b/w 500-1500 words and two essays throughout the quarter. Definitely not a heavy workload and is manageable. However, you do have to watch roughly 1-2 films a week and those eat up quite a bit of time as most of the films are around an hour and a half to two hours long. He doesn't grade too harshly on the blog posts and essays, but definitely make sure you know what you're talking about. Imo, its an easy class but definitely requires a good chunk of time (the films are definitely enjoyable! Some are a little outdated though)
