Do not take this class if you don't like public speaking. Participation and attendance is a requirement and if you don't speak up and add to the conversation, the professor knocks down points (and asking questions does not count for some reason). The class is taught through films, which is pretty cool. The assignments are interesting and not too hard, but the discussions do depend on who your classmates are because they're student run. The professor does give you 1-on-1 feedback which is so helpful and she is very nice during office hours. Unfortunately, the participation requirement is the most tedious part of the class. Would recommend if you're outgoing and love to yap. Would not recommend if you're shy and sit in the back.

DO NOT BE DECIEVED BY THE INFLATED RATINGS. The content of the class is disorderly presented and there are little to no connection between each assignment. The "instructor" did not provide any guidance for her assignments and essays and merely packaged all that responsibility into the shroud that is "creative writing." She isn't forgiving of late submissions, yet in amusing irony she was always late to fulfill her part as a professor. Our final grades were not published until a week and a half after the department deadline, which left us no room to inquire regarding the process of grading. Similarly, a friend of mine had to reschedule her individual review with her 3 times on short notice.

Overall, the content was not difficult, but the lack of instructional clarity and structural integrity made this class very frustrating to deal with alongside other coursework.
