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.

I was doing good throughout the whole quarter, but TA ethan gave me a really crapy grade for the final paper. Because of my final paper my A dropped to a B-.

Fantastic class.

You read a lot because it will show on your papers eventually. In lectures we only watch movies and take notes. This class is wonderful despite its horrific time (5:30pm-8:30pm. Dr Fernando is very genuine, you will surely love his class!

Super chill class. Essentially you go to class and watch films. After the film, there is an open-note, collaborative quiz that was almost always multiple choice. The prof will give readings that are related to the films so that you have some context before the viewing. Readings can vary from week to week but most were interesting and simple. Both the midterm and final are written essays. The midterm is a film review and the final can either be a combined film review of a few of the films (I forgot the exact number but I want to say 4 films) or you can do a fictional interview based on the context of one of the films. Extra credit can be earned by attending the events that the prof puts on the syllabus and doing a simple write-up afterward. Section attendance is mandatory and going to class is necessary. Great class, super chill, enjoyable, and easy.

AMAZING class. The class was split into a 3 hour lecture, which usually consisted of a short lecture from the professor and then a film screening, and a 1 hour discussion. Most of the films were really interesting and related well with the readings. There were 2 essays: a short film review (5-6 pages, can be considered the "midterm") and a long film review (8-10 pages, the "final"). There was a lot of reading sometimes, but you don't really need to do all of it unless you plan on doing one of your film reviews about that week's film. Discussion was mandatory and worth 30% of our grade, but it was easy, and it was very engaging. The rest of your grade was those two essays (worth 60% total) and easy in-class quizzes (worth 10%). The topics covered in this class were eye-opening and grading was very easy, overall I'd 100% recommend this class if you're looking for a worthwhile GE that's also an easy A.
