    Quarter Taken: Spring 2023 In-Person
    Grade: A

    This class is a lot of work and grading is very TA dependent. Just be ready to work and read to be able to answer the prompts to their standards. At the same time you will def learn a lot about the industry

    Quarter Taken: Fall 2023 In-Person
    Grade: A+

    this class was overall super great! material was really interesting and formatted like a typical film class here - 1hr lecture and film for the rest of lecture. i wish she uploaded slides to bruinlearn as they can be very content heavy - however she uploads everything else there including all readings, clips, instructions, etc. there was a lot of writing in this class - 4 200 word response quizzes each week leading up to the midterm, the midterm was 2 500 word responses, there was a 7-8 page paper, and a final consisting of 3 500 word responses. i really enjoyed my TA eric pitz, his sections definitely added on to lecture and i felt like i learned something new every section. there is a QR code for attendance given each lecture and discussion attendance is also required. the grading is pretty easy so if you just put in the effort you'll definitely get an A
