ken was okay. his lectures were not informative AT ALL. he literally talked about other peoples homework responses every lecture for the entire time. we had daily quizzes on our homework the week before but they were so specific that even if you did the work u might still get them wrong. homework was a documentary and article a week with a response

Lectures are incredibly boring. Attendance/Lecture/Film quizzes focus too much on minute details that are easy to miss, not to mention how each missed question results in a 1% drop in your overall grade. Not the worst class in the world, but there are most certainly better ways to structure a course than the way Professor Hiltner does.

An interesting class and he is very passionate about it. Lectures are just about the readings and comments but the class is extremely easy. Wish he dove deeper though instead of just if reviewing student comments.

Weekly discussion posts on film and readings, not too much time to do. Daily attendance and quizzes based on previous week's materials. No final or midterm. Pretty standard and clear course structure. No EC offered but not hard to pass. Quizzes 2-3 questions, a minute per. Grasp general concepts and important statistics; gained a lot and recommend!

one reading discussion post and one film discussion post each week. lecture is mandatory bc two quizzes each time: one for attendance and one on the reading/film you did last week. questions are SO SPECIFIC, like random details you never would remember. no final so those are all that make up your grade. He's very passionate but lectures are so dry.

this is my second class with ken. very easy classes, no exams, just weekly readings and comments that don't have word limit. quizzes aren't hard, just look up the questions if u really need to. prob one of my fav profs bc the course structure is so easy. def recommend for an easy pass GE

Attendance is mandatory but the lectures are boring. There is a quiz at the end of every lecture that is based on the weekly reading/film so you have to take extensive notes on each or you'll fail the quizzes. No midterm or final but the weekly quizzes make up around 40% of your grade so you have to do well on them to get a good grade in the class.

this was a pretty easy class if u just want to get a GE out of the way. lectures are mandatory and you get a homework quiz at the end of each one, but if u do the reading/watch the videos you should generally be okay. tbh tho lectures were not entertaining and most of what i learned came from the weekly video assignments.

This class is insanely boring. I have never been in a more dull lecture in my life. He literally just likes to hear himself talk and LECTURES have mandatory attendance. He also purposely makes the quizzes hard so even if you did all the work it's still really easy to miss a question. Also, the class is insanely depressing so keep that in mind too.

Ken isn't the best lecturer so focus your attention on paying attention to the films. Reading wise, you don't really have to do them just like have AI summarize it and your chilling. Def attend lectures bc the attendance quizzes will boost ur grade. Idk this class was easy I guess just really boring
