Don't read the readings; you'll cover them in the section. I took her in the summer. I had 3 papers, all were 3-page long (double-spaced), NO MIDTERM (for summer at least), and the final exam she gives you a preview of how the exam will be set up. You will pass this class.

I really enjoyed Brusutti's class. She is so passionate about film, literally an encyclopedia of movies. She is also hilarious and cares about the course very much. Her passion made me more excited for the course.

Easy GE. Just do your work on time, go to section, and you're good to get an A.

As long as you show up to lecture and make an effort to participate in section you will be fine. The issues I have with this course are that analysis of film from the perspective of form only tells you what you already wanted to know and cannot be used to create further or opposing insights.

Her lectures were a bit boring since the material is pretty clear but the class is a blast. I'm a film major but I recommend this to anyone who needs their art credit and writing. We wrote 2 papers (3 pages and 5 pages) and watch movies during Friday lecture. Don't do the readings, they don't matter, just participate in section.

This course was interesting and I always looked forward to the Friday films. However, I only missed 2 lectures the entire quarter, submitted well-written papers (B+ and A-), scored a B+ and A on the 2 quizzes, and barely got an A in the class. I admit that I am unfamiliar with film concepts, but still believe this class is unnecessarily difficult.
