The class consisted of three unit papers, one final, and 6 discussion posts. you have opportunities for extra credit at the end of the quarter which was great. highly recommend talking to your TA because they can be so helpful. talking and engaging during your discussion section matters and you typically go over the readings and topics talked about in lectures.

the professor at times could be a little boring, but still very clear and gives good information that you can use in your papers. I didn’t care for the way she capped the grades at a 95 so it was impossible to get higher than that, but the extra credit helps. Im not complaining since the class was a breeze. I would take again because it was cool to learn about digital media. I also would leave class early before she starts a screening because more than half the films we watched in class were online or posted on bruinlearn.

I think Professor Paredes has many strengths as a lecturer. There is something planned for every moment, and you can tell they take care when making their slideshows and preparing for the class. I think the class has a good infrastructure, and I am always a fan of no midterm. I did get bored sometimes, but I have the memory and attention span of a goldfish at times. Overall, I'm very glad I took this class.
