Fall 2021 - the class was 40% midterm, 50% final, 10% attendance. attendance was taken at random 3 times throughout the quarter. the midterm was an 8 page (max) paper where you had to create your own reality tv show idea and use that to analyze all the narrative elements of non-scripted tv that were discussed in class. the final was another 8 page (max) paper where you discuss the process/strategy of program development, casting, and marketing/distribution elements for your show. this class was low maintenance and enjoyable. the guest speakers were also intriguing and gave good anecdotes. I would highly recommend this class!!

Fall 2024 - I really like reality TV so i took this class thinking it would be interesting but i was wrong. while professor jusko seems nice he was in fact very condescending and loves to hear himself talk. this class is almost three hours at night and he took up the entire time talking. his reality tv references are dated like survivor and biggest loser, we never once touched on anything from 2024 like The Kardashians or anything Bravo related. It was really hard to take notes on his lectures because there was no structure i didnt even know where to start when writing. the attendance is ridiculous, he randomly takes it at 3 lectures throughout the quarter, so if you miss those that sucks for you. while the midterm and final are disguised to seem like fun "design your own reality show" papers, he just wants you to regurgitate facts that he has dolled out during his 3 hour monologues. also his tone is patronizing.
