This class was very clear and fun, even over Zoom. Although Verducci herself didn't lecture, you watch lecture videos of another professor who has done screenplays and has experience in the industry. The films you watch and get quizzed on are interesting, and the quizzes ask for relevant info. To be honest, if you only had time to skim before a quiz you'd still be good - just turn on the transcript of the lecture and search for keywords. The quizzes never asked about the films, just the readings, so you honestly just need to know the gist about them just for the discussion posts.
