I really enjoyed this class. there is mandatory attendance with a qr code. lecture consists of watching a film but most people leave after attendance.
there are readings and films for the homework. assignments are take home.
4 quizzes (short response), 1 midterm, 1 final, 1 paper.

on the surface this class seems like a lot since it's twice a week, 3 hours each class (+ 1 1hr discussion) but in reality it's actually NOT that much class time. the way Mann did it was lecture for about the first hour of class, do the attendance check-in via QR code (so btw if you have a friend in the class they can prob send you the link for attendance remotely, but it's a different google form link every lecture). after that, it's just showing the film (and most, if not all films can be found on archive.org for free) but most people didn't stay for that.

as for the coursework itself, there are readings and films to watch but tbh you can read and watch none of it and be 100% okay!! ALL assignments were take home, with at least a week to do them, giving you plenty of time to watch the needed movies/read the necessary readings. there were only 4 short-response quizzes, 1 midterm (2-3 take-home short responses), 1 final (similar to the midterm), and 1 paper but the grading seems reaaalllllly lenient anyways. overall it's a somewhat interesting class (though she does NOT post the slides she uses) and a good way to watch classic films so i'd recommend!
