The films in this class were really interesting, but Bobo's lectures could be a bit dull. Luckily, I found unstuck ai super helpful for prepping for the papers. Manageable workload overall, just don't skip the films!

This class I thought was super fun. Professor Bobo had personally interacted with every filmmaker we watched so she had great insight into the films. She gave ample time for discussion and made everyone feel welcome to their own opinions.

attendance wasn't mandatory to pass the class and do good on the essays. class only graded on three essays spaced throughout the quarter and a final paper at the end. super boring lectures, all you really need to do is watch part of the movies and that'll be enough to write the essay. idk if it was just my ta, but she graded easily.

Lectures were boring and pretty unrelated to the papers, so I only went when she played the films. The films were interesting and the papers were very broad and easy to write. Super easy class and prof so I recommend it if you need the credit.

Readings and weekly film. Most films were dated and inaccessible outside of lecture, but attendance technically not mandatory. Grade determined by 5 papers, each 20% of grade. 8 a.m. was a drag but content interesting and easy. Emphasize dissecting film techniques in papers, not just the message/importance. T.A. Katie Von Wald was the goat.

Easy course, one topic per week with a film and reading, and a short paper every couple of weeks. The course structure is easy to understand but Bobo's lectures are not the most engaging, especially at 8 am. Interesting topics and films discussed.
