The best aspect of the course was the interesting films which enlightened and encouraged a lot of interesting class discussion. The weekly workload was very manageable. However, many students felt that the content was not cohesive and that the class session lasted too long. Students’ suggestions for improvement included allowing for more time in between watching films to teach and discuss the material. Prospective students should know that the instructor is very approachable and that no prior art, history, or film knowledge is required.
