My favorite film class I've taken as a film student. You should certainly take it if you have any interest in gender studies, but it was also just a wonderful class for film analysis (and a great place to start if you've never analyzed a film before). The course consists of watching one movie a week outside of class (provided digitally online for free), reading relevant articles from the course reader, completing a weekly in-class essay/short response on the film watched that week, and one final 6-8 page analytical essay comparing two films. A very manageable workload. Dr. Moorman keeps lectures on the minimal side (although still very engaging and informative), and relied mostly on lively in class discussions. Participation is a large portion of your grade (20%), but it was almost hard not to participate due to the large amount of topics and analysis each of the films presented. It is a huge disservice to film students that classes like this are lacking on the curriculum or only offered in the summer (such as this class).
Interesting and easy class, but misleading title and course description. I enrolled in the class believing it would be about literally women in the film industry like an empowering girl power kinda class. Did not expect it to be about sex and to be watching explicit material in class and for homework. Still, it was an interesting and engaging class.
