Prof Holt is one of the funniest and most interesting prof's at UCSB, and is extremely knowledgable about media. Her clips & lectures are amusing, however, if you're not interested in the politics of the class you will have a hard time. Keep up with readings and screenings or else you will have no clue what she refers to in lecture.

This class is not that easy, you have to work to get a decent grade. You have to write two papers, even though the class doesn't give you a writing ge. She gives a study guide for the midterm and final. I suggest you study that ASAP because its exactly what's on her exams. Its an okay class, but nothing interesting. Make sure to read the articles!

Prof Holt was an amazing professor! She made lectures lively and interesting. All readings were on GAuchospace, so no textbook! Overall a great fun prof and I'd take another class of hers . Oh and she gives mid term and final exam questions! 1 small paper and 1 research paper

She's a very nice and intelligent lady, but I didn't find 45 minute long discussions on who updates their Twitter or Facebook more often. This was no film class, all media, so expect that. Ms. Holt knows her stuff, but it's pretty uninteresting unless you're a real media groupie like she is. Easy A, but not so easy to stay awake in.

Proffesor Holt was amazing! Her passion for film made the class engaging, and i made me feel passionate for film as well. I would definitely take another class she teaches. The only downside is all the writing the class required, yet it didn't count as a fulfillment for the writing requirement.

Yes, she is very funny and uses lots of interesting clips to reinforce her lecture (like the Daily show). I had a problem with her because a vast majority of lecture time was her discussing things that weren't relevant. So much so, that we got behind a week and discussion sections became confusing.

Single handedly restored my faith in the film department. I would take any class she taught.

Awesome professor. She is so funny and the way she explains things makes you genuinely interested. You can tell she knows a lot and she loves engaging in discussion with her students. This class made me think outside of the box regarding media. Should be a requirement for EVERYONE at UCSB!

One of my favorite professors ever!

Stockholm class. She is amazing!

She is hard to swallow sometimes but very educated and upbeat. She loves TV so you know she is motivated and very excited to teach it...as well as knowledgeable about the course. Do not necessarily have to go to class because she posted notes online but I would recommend it. If not than read!

She's cool as a person, but she grades SUPER hard. we watched one movie and then had one lecture a week, so it wasn't bad. plus, she's pretty funny, so class goes by quickly enough. i guess there's a lot of reading, but i didnt do much of it, and i did fine. ultimately, i'd take her again.
