FLMST46MS . 20 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.

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.
