Winter 2024 - Professor Huang’s class is a really enjoyable experience. You only meet up once a week to watch a movie and discuss the art techniques used in those movies. His class is a must-take GE if you are taking other hard classes. However, one thing I’m not a fan about in this class is the weekly quizzes. They are worth 50% of your grade and more than the midterm (20%) and the final (30%). It is very easy to miss questions on these quizzes if you do not do the readings or attend the lectures. I missed a question on the quizzes once in a while because some questions are nit-picky on various concepts discussed in the class. But, the quizzes are relatively easy and you should get 7/7 on the majority of them. For the other assignments, our midterm was an essay about frame analysis- which I found fun to write- and our final was a 30 MCQ take-home exam. Note-taking is not necessary at lectures, because he posts his lectures on Bruinlearn. However, take down notes if he gives you a hint on a quiz question or if a guest speaker comes in because 5 questions on our final were on a guest speaker’s presentation, and a lot of people missed those questions. If you get Niall as your TA, he is fantastic and makes discussions so entertaining. Overall, it is a pretty easy class if you put in the work. Just make sure to engage with the material and you will get an A.
