Professor Razor is one of the best professors at UCSB. Content was super interesting and the movies were all great. Weekly discussion posts plus a few quizzes a midterm and final. All not difficult if you study. Also a final zine project that's not hard. Great upper div election. I would take her again easily

Super caring and really wants you to succeed. A lot of canvas assignments everyday but they're pretty easy, just a bit time consuming. Chapter tests are pretty frequent but they are graded very lightly so all levels of Russian speakers can succeed.

Professor Razor was amazing. She was so nice. I took her silent film class and it was great. I enjoyed her lectures and although some of the screenings are long (and silent) it is a very interesting class and she is so knowledgeable.

A very tolerable and informative course. The paper was reasonable and engaging and her final exam was really considerate towards her students' time during finals week. Razor's knowledge of film history is greatly reflected in the quality of the course, and it was a pleasure to attend her lectures. Could have used less back face films though.

prof razor is the best prof I have ever had at UCSB. she actually wants her students to succeed and makes sure we all get good grades. some of us didn't get the grade we wanted on the midterm but she provided SO many extra credit opportunities to make up for it. also her canvas is AMAZING she is so organized and provides all the resources u need!!
