Professor Paredes is a wonderful instructor, and this class is really cool. Every week, you just have to do some light reading before the Tuesday lectures (like 15 pages max) and do a short 10-minute in-class assignment on Thursdays. For the weekly in-class assignment, you just need to write on a half-sheet of paper what you learned that week. You could also draw a picture that relates to the stuff that was talked about that week. I ended up just drawing pictures of whatever spirit/ghost we learned that week, and got full points every time. You also have to do two projects: one group project and one individual one. Both are pretty easy. For the group project, you need to make a 5-minute presentation about your assigned ghost/spirit. For the individual project due during finals week, you need to write a paper about a film that uses a ghost/spirit from Southeast Asia as a motif. Max 6 pages double spaced.
Professor Paredes is an extremely understanding professor. She's always there to talk if you ever run into any problems with any readings or with your projects. On the first day of class, she literally said, "If you guys ever need help, or if you feel overwhelmed, come talk to me. Email me. You're not being annoying. It is literally MY JOB to help you guys."
I'm shocked by the other review of this class, as I received a good grade just by doing my work and keeping an open line of communication with the professor. You have weekly free writes asking you to discuss the topic each week, and she only expects about half a page. As long as you turn those in, a film review paper, and participate in a group project, you'll be fine. She's always there to talk if you're ever uncertain about your grade, and I had MANY personal emergencies crop up in my family life she was sympathetic toward. Professor Paredes was extremely understanding, beyond compassionate, and worked with me. She's not a rigid and stuffy professor; she cares about her students and wants them to succeed.
It really is laid back, but it's only as easy as you make it for yourself. You'll get the grade you deserve. Not once did she ever said it would be an "easy" ride, just that you'd do well if you turned everything in and made sure to put effort into your assignments. So, basically what you should be doing in every class anyway.
Class was supposed to be "easy" and "relaxed" but Professor Paredes graded unecessarily hard while not providing us our grades the entire quarter, leaving us under the impression we all had 100s in the class. Boring class, lectures were full of nonsense, not worth your time.
