need course materials for movies and there is a finial essay
Overall, this was an enjoyable class. Even though the readings were dense and the quizzes were tedious, I felt that in the end, the grading was fair. The exams were doable and were primarily centered around lecture material as opposed to the quizzes that were based on the readings from her book or scientific papers (all were fascinating in my opinion!)
