Winter 2024 - This class was so boring. It was to the point that the vast majority of the class stopped showing up. We would have "reading" quizzes every few weeks, but they didn't correspond with the actual assigned readings nor the lectures. Don't waste your time doing the readings. I see no point if they don't actually help you with the class, I was upset after I had done all the reading and took the first reading quiz just for none of the material to correspond. Also, I had Sophia Yazpik as my TA and she was just a mean person. Not a harsh grader though, but when one of the other TAs did a guest lecture, after she finished Yazpik said "just give up" under her breath. She also laughed at one of my questions... I don't know why you would even sign up to be a TA if you dislike helping students so much.

Winter 2023 - I like the format of the class, watching film every week was very relaxing and fun. My TA really helps a lot. He was very informative. The professor was sometimes vague during the lecture, some of the guest speaker he invited wasn't really helpful in helping us understand the material. Overall the class was easy. All you have to do is submit weekly discussion post, do weekly quiz about the film which was very easy, and a final paper. I would recommend this class.

Spring 2022 - His lectures aren't organized since he tends to ramble from one topic to the next. However, his assignments were pretty easy from a fictional interview to the take home final, they were pretty straightforward. I barely did any of teh readings and still managed to get a good grade. If you dont mind being lost and rushed in lecture and doing the class based on your own structure take this class.
