Professor Wuest seems fantastic. Honestly, I'm just sad I didn't have the opportunity to take this class in person. I learned so much and feel that the class expanded my knowledge without forcing me to memorize things. I also learned to appreciate film. I'm not an arts or humanities student by a long shot, so taking this class was out of my element but I would definitely recommend it to anyone who needs it for a GE! It's not too hard but also fun and you learn a lot!

tl; dr - Really good class but your experience will be highly dependent on hw strict of a grader your TA is.

Wuest is a really good lecturer and his lectures were super engaging and his passion was super evident. He was also really nice to talk to in office hours.

Each week has 2 lectures, and covered roughly a decade in film history. The lectures were asynchronous, with roughly one hour of lecture content and 1.5 hours of a movie screening per lecture day.

There's no midterm, but we were graded on 4 discussion posts, a research paper, and a final exam along with discussion participation. The forum posts weren't difficult as long as you watched the relevant movie and did some of the reading. Some TAs were super harsh graders and returned scores late, so make sure to pester your TA into releasing scores or talk to the professor if they don't. The research paper was a little vague, and slightly involved so try to start early on it. The final exam was basically slightly longer forum posts.

All in all, I really enjoyed this class and my TA (N. Spagnola) was really good. Take this class if you need a pretty easy GE, if you want to learn about film history, or just to watch some nice movies.
