    Quarter Taken: Spring 2022 In-Person
    Grade: A

    super chill class--no midterms/finals and only assignments are 5 shortish discussion posts and 2 papers, highly recommend if you take this class with friends so you can watch a bunch of movies together each week

    Quarter Taken: Winter 2024 In-Person
    Grade: N/A

    The professor is pretty kind. It's just some of the TAs might be harsh on grades. For our TA we had 1/3 of A, 1/3 of B and 1/3 of C
