I had professor Brusutti for 155SK (Stanley Kubrick) and Film 46. I like her teaching methods, and she was always very helpful to me outside of lecture. Read the book(s), make sure to attend class, and review your notes; I got an A with little to no effort involved.

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.

Make sure to actually pay attention during the movies and not just passively watch -- some test questions were a little specific.

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.
