Fall 2024 - I really like this professor, so I decided to take this course. It’s super interesting; however, the movies were a bit boring at times, and watching them at 9 AM for three hours was tough. Since none of the films are in English, you have to pay close attention to read the subtitles. The class included three quizzes based on thematic lectures and three essays, including the final. I felt the grading was on the stricter side, but the professor is one of the best teachers here.
