FLMST46MS . 18 Years Ago

Interesting class, however I was disappointed that she seemed to have a wealth of knowledge about a movie, but then states she has not fully seen it. Overall the class is fun, and somewhat went away from being a major seminar.

Brusutti is knowledgeable about film theory, but her lectures can be dry. Textbook is tedious, but Unstuck ai helped me ace the papers. For a GE, it's manageable if you stay engaged.

FAM46 . A Month Ago

The lectures consisted of watching films for the majority of the class time. She would go overtime often by 5-15 minutes. The lecture attendance isn't taken but sections with the TA are. She doesn't care if you walk out mid lecture. If you plan to skip lectures, I advise you do attend the ones closer to midterm and finals season.

Anna is a good and kind professor. I attended her seminar and I love her so much. I recommend all students to take her seminar. But her quiz in 46 is always out of study question.

She's a really nice lady and she has a lot of interesting things to say but everything she says is like a riddle and it's very confusing to follow her lectures. She talks like we are already supposed to know all of this stuff but some of us are new to film. Her quizzes are filled with all this terminology and concepts she never goes over in class.

FAMST169 . 9 Months Ago

Lecture was 3 hours and twice a week. It was very long and got tired easily, but it was worth going in to see the movies. Half was lecture and other half was for the movie. Some were online, but not all. The essays and the quizzes were extremely easy. She is extremely nice. The final was fair.
