CollegeIs hot and kind and funny. Only con is he's married and mentions his wife sometimes
Not interesting and likes to talk about himself and his life story a lot. Course is not structured well
Two 5-6 pages paper, midterm we got 1 essay question + 5 ID for 1hr 30 mins), Final we got 3 essay question + 4 ID questions for 3hrs). She gives out the test questions a week before for you to review!(she gave 3 and picked 1 etc) IDK how I pass the class. The hardest class I have taken so far for Film. I learned a lot tho because how strict it is.
Professor Holt was a poor teacher. Lectures have little to do with course material and mostly go on about how she loves Chicago sports. Her slides are not helpful at all and seem to have almost no effort put into them. She demeans her students and uses shame and humiliation to express her disappointment in her class's performance.
Class is boring and as a film major, waste of my time since it's only about media and not about film at all. By the 8th week, I almost had a mental breakdown from the amount of work this class needed. A 300-500 word short essay every week and two papers about 1500 words each. That's not even to mention the mt and final were absolute hell. Dont take
The readings and concepts can be a lot to retain and I did find the exam preparation to be overkill, yet I have to credit Professor Holt for informing me on these important media topics and presenting them in such an active manner. While this was the hardest class I've taken, I really value what I'm taking away from it. It's vital beyond FAMST.
