Lectures didn't make any sense but it's an easy class.

Nothing against this teacher, she is just REALLY boring. 3 papers, 3 quizzes, you can drop a low quiz grade. Genuinely just depends on the TA you get. The lectures are SUPER boring but it helps to go to probably 75% of them (esp towards end of quarter). Lwk the slides she uses are not good, lectures have basically zero structure, but she lwk funny

Pretty easy class. Quizzes are worth 10 points with only 5 questions but they are pretty specific. Never once did the readings as they seemed useless. We only had 3 papers and they were easy. Final exam was fine, just know the terminology and STUDY. Every Friday you will watch a film. Oh and shoutout to Francis Yeboah, great TA and he's chill!

goated all timer professor. genuinely couldnt ask for a better educator.

Lowkey mean and difficult professor. Suuuuuper dry lectures I'm not gonna lie I genuinely fell asleep in every single one for at least some part of it if not the entire thing. The papers are easy if you pay attention in section. The attendance quizzes are lowkey hella hard for no reason just super hyper specific. You'll be okay. Love my TA.

I didn't have the worst experience because my TA was easy to talk to and a fair grader. However, I could not sit through a single lecture without wanting to pull my hair out. She was nice yet very difficult to pay attention to. The lectures were way too long and boring. If you don't have a deep passion for film, DO NOT take this class.

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.

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.

Her lectures were a bit boring since the material is pretty clear but the class is a blast. I'm a film major but I recommend this to anyone who needs their art credit and writing. We wrote 2 papers (3 pages and 5 pages) and watch movies during Friday lecture. Don't do the readings, they don't matter, just participate in section.

This course was interesting and I always looked forward to the Friday films. However, I only missed 2 lectures the entire quarter, submitted well-written papers (B+ and A-), scored a B+ and A on the 2 quizzes, and barely got an A in the class. I admit that I am unfamiliar with film concepts, but still believe this class is unnecessarily difficult.

Mandatory lectures where she pauses the videos too often. It's a film class just show the clips. Her commentary and lecture style in general is poor

As a film major, I enjoyed the class and Brusutti's (sometimes disorganized) lectures because the content is interesting to me. I also thought the movies selected throughout the quarter (1 and sometimes 2 per week in class) were well chosen. But if I wasn't interested in film genuinely, I think assignments might be difficult to receive a high grade

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.

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.

An introduction to key concepts in film and the industry. I have a background in film so I found the textbook (PDF) readings long and unengaging. Certain concepts from the textbooks will be on exams, but they are discussed in section. If you take notes during lecture and do the readings it's fine.

She isn't the most tech-savvy, and slides can be pretty disorganized/misleading, but Brusutti is such a sweet lady and to even criticize her hurts me. You can tell she's passionate about the material. Only 2 papers, short multiple choice P/NP quizzes, and a written open-note final. If you love film this works as a decent GE.

You will not learn anything from Brusutti's lectures. She is so boring and genuinely the most disorganized professor I've ever had. Not worth taking if you aren't a film major. If you want to do well talk to your TA cause they're the ones grading your papers. If you're a film major this WONT prepare you for FAMST96.

The class was fine overall. Not too difficult, two papers and an online final. The paper aren't hard, just took some times.

Three papers, lectures were fine but she is knowledgeable about film theory and the information she gives is very easy to digest. The films shown can be a drag but otherwise it was a fine class.

The material isn't super riveting, but as a FAMST requirement, 46 is a pretty easy start. The lectures can drone on but the readings aren't necessary at all. A couple of papers that aren't terrible and the final is online. Anna is pretty engaging and very respected.
