MEDIATECHNOLOGY . Kittler W D 8 Months Ago

If you want to do well in his class just do the readings. He specifically expects you to use quotes from course material to back up answers on exams. However, I found it extremely difficult to pay attention in his lecture only because he is difficult to understand and often sounds like he is mumbling. He is an ok professor.

It's not difficult to pass the course as long as you do the reading and attend section. His lectures are a bit of a snooze though. They're pretty meandering. He even seemed oddly confused when asked about some of the content and exam requirements. The course was still interesting. Just have a good TA and note his main points during class.

CLIT30 . Kittler W D 10 Months Ago

The lectures were extremely difficult to sit through and I learned more from independent reading and my section discussions. Go to section it will help you a lot. I barley went to lecture and still got an A, but I believe that grading depends heavily on the TA you have.

CLIT30A . Kittler W D 10 Months Ago

Probably one of the worst lecturers I've had. He really just rambles the entire class, very often not about the reading assigned that week. Midterm and final are both short answer, so you do need to actually do the reading. Apparently he grades based on if your answers matched up what he talked about in lecture, but I never went and got an A.

Long and boring lectures that rarely talk about the actual reading assignments. He is very particular about the answers he expects on his exams; you must phrase your responses exactly how he explained them in class, otherwise he will say it's wrong. Lots of reading. Lecture is hard to follow, so hope for a good TA to explain the readings.
