The lectures felt like story hour -- very engaging speaker and obviously very knowledgeable.

Took Pass/No Pass. Professor Fogu is really cool and passionate. Go to office hours! Lectures can be hard to understand bc he uses very complex language, only clarifies if you talk to him one on one. Quizzes every week on the movies (3Qs) and a midterm essay and a final (which is quite hard) shows sequences from any movies and u write about them.

midterm gets a cheat sheet, and the final is a paper. Each week has a reading and a short writing assignment, but it's def manageable. He's really nice and passionate about the class. My TA was also great

Lecture is def mandatory, but he has been my fav lecturer so far!! He is so entertaining and makes lectures seem like a fun gossip sesh! Only prof I will ever glaze

take this class! graded on 1 midterm where he gives all possible q's + a cheat sheet, section participation, final essay, and 6 300 word papers. i didnt go to class at all after the midterm (go before to get notes and be able to do well on the midterm). i got a 99 in the class bc lectures are interesting, content+paper arent hard, midterm is easy.

I loved this professor. He was an amazing lecturer and I actually went to class. The grade mainly depends on your TA and mine was hard but AMAZING. I found this class very fulfilling and interesting. There was a midterm in-class essay and 2 vocab q's and a final paper. The rest of the grade is weekly writings and participation. Take this class!
