Professor: Lucy Bucknel

The best aspect of this course was the engaging class discussions, as they forced students to think critically and analytically about the films they watched and learned about. The professor was very knowledgeable and gave students lots of feedback on their papers. The worst aspects of the course included the lack of adequate guidelines for student papers and the lengthy class time. The course would improve if the professor provided clearer guidelines for the assignments and if perhaps the class meeting time were divided into two weekly sessions. Prospective students should be prepared for a fun course with lots of class discussions and film analysis. Those who want to be successful in the course should complete al their assignments and dedicate the time to watch the assigned films so that they can effectively participate in the class discussions.
