This is the second class I have taken with Dr. Replogle and I have really enjoyed both. This is a super interesting class. One of the criticisms I gave her in the other class was that her selections of music weren't very diverse, racially. I would say that this is not the case for this class. I feel she covered a wide range of musicals given the time she had. For any of her classes, the TA really matters as they will be doing all of the subjective gradings. Discussions are also mandatory. Dr. Replogle is great and I would for sure recommend her!

I loved this class! It was async with lecture videos, except for a one short and engaging zoom discussion, and I got to watch so many free and cool movies including popular ones that I've always wanted to watch, and relate their soundtracks to their plot, themes, and emotional feel. Super easy paper and really helpful, understanding, and responsive TA, shoutout Lucas Douridas you were awesome.

Incredibly easy online/asynch GE. I didn't watch a single movie, or lecture for that matter. You just have to attend the weekly Zoom discussion section, and my TA was really kind and engaging. I locked in for the final paper after giving the class no thought for the entire quarter and got a nearly perfect score. Take this class!!

This class is great, especially if you're into analyzing music. I'm not a film buff but I definitely gained some appreciation for different eras of film. This class starts at silent films and goes all the way to very recent films, so there's something from every era to appreciate. There are a few international films as well-- it was a great sample!

Weekly work took some time: it included around an hour of lecture videos, give or take a few readings, some short supplemental videos, and of course, a full film. There was also a quick journal entry every week and a few random assignments throughout the quarter. It was all asynchronous except for discussions, so there was time to complete all the work. I got into the habit of completing everything over the weekend so I didn't have to worry about it all week. Overall, manageable especially if you're interested!

There was a final essay project with lots of preparation time. They guide you through the process. There was also a "final exam" but it was only a few short answer essay questions for completion on your own time. No quizzes or tests. Would recommend.

Most of this class is watching movies so if that's your thing, you've found your match. The course is 10 movies and very easy writing assignments. I took the whole course online and only had to attend discussions every Friday, which were easy as long as I watched the movies beforehand. The final exam and final essay were both asynchronous.
