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

    I was interested in cinematography before going into the class and Prof. Granados has deepened my interest! The class is 3-hour long so it's hard to stay focused, but Prof. Granados gives breaks every hour. The discussion board assignments are really chill, you basically get full points for answering them and showing effort. The midterm and final exams are very fair. There are 25 multiple choices for each exam and if you pay attention in lectures and do your readings, you won't miss more than one question. The trick question that you got wrong might be taken off the exam, though, as Prof. Granados takes off the question that most of the class got wrong. Overall, awesome class!
