Fall 2024 - Really Easy A, Huhtamo is really passionate about the subject but the lectures are really boring/dry (and long/ mandatory I may add) unless you really like media art history. There are weekly discussion posts on Bruinlearn, 4 events/screenings that you have to go to and report on, a midterm essay, and a final essay. The essays need to be really long but aren't graded harshly based on the TA. I would only take this class if you have to or I guess like the A.
