This class was quite easy and fun, most homework involved watching good movies and answering simple questions about them. The lectures were interesting and well-done. My TA didn't like my screenplay but you get the points for trying so it was okay :-)

TAKE THIS CLASS! I took FilmTV33 over the summer asynchronously (A-sesh), and the course was perfectly paced and easy to manage. Professor George Huang was an amazing, funny, and knowledgable lecturer whose passion for screenwriting was infectious. He incorporated its expertise into the course material, given that he was the writer and director of famous films like Swimming with Sharks. The lectures were chronologically-ordered to ease a general audience into the steps of screenwriting - something I was unfamiliar with prior to this class. By the end of this class, you will have written 10 pages of an original screenplay (or you can optionally write your entire screenplay to be reviewed by Professor Huang). It was so fun to get creative and write my own storyline that could be transformed into a movie! Besides the screenplay, this course had weekly quizzes which are super manageable if you watch the lectures and do the assigned readings - so definitely take ample notes on his lectures and do the readings! The lowest quiz score out of the six quizzes is dropped. Also, there is a weekly discussion board where students answer a prompt set by a TA. Besides the weekly quiz and discussion board, there is also a weekly assignment that varies by week. The course load was very manageable, and the feedback you get from your TA and Professor Huang himself is invaluable.
