LOVE HER SO MUCH! She is so incredibly kind, passionate, eloquent, informed, etc. My favorite FAMST professor so far. The class itself is also super fun. Lots of writing but easy to manage, as most of it is in class. Attendance required. The films we watched were all really great too. Also no tests, just papers. Highly recommend!

It's a class that teaches you how to write about films, but very heavy on using SPECIFIC language to do so. I thoroughly enjoyed all of the films in this class but I couldn't stand the way the class is structured to make you use certain terms, devoid of any real original thought about the films.

If you want to take this class, prepare to take very far away field trips (that you need to walk to) and do a lot of busy work. She also assigned a required a mandatory meeting on a day that we did not have class. She seems to have to regard for any of her students' time and I would not recommend taking this class.

Cares about the subject and truly makes it engaging and entertaining. Went into the class not expecting a ton or to enjoy it but really glad I took it. Would def recommend OC to any Famst majors or someone needing an upper div

Paper heavy class. Lectures were informative and interactive. The films watched were actually interesting and she gave plenty of examples and clarification for any questions. Tough grading policy but normal for FAMST 96.
