This was a great GE and very easy to get an A. I was lazy during the last week and didn't put much effort into my essay, and didn't get a great score, but all the extra credit offered kept my grade at an A. The structure of the class has us watch the documentary/movie on Tuesday, and watch the lecture on Thursday. I never went to class on Thur and did perfectly fine. You get extra credit for every single category if you just show up and do your work. My TA was pretty chill, and it was easy participating in discussions and getting full credit. We just have weekly quizzes for the films, but they were very quick and doable.
