Film 106 C: African, Asian, and Latin American film Prof. Carreras is an amazing professor! She really knows how to evaluate film, and she pushes us to know more than the basics about a movie. We learn history and maps and talk about literature and politics. She wants us to be intellectual critics. Her three essays were fair, and they pushed me to think more critically about film and research. Read, work hard, pay attention, and take advantage of having this great professor!

Summer 2024 - I cannot stress this enough--- please take this class! Not only do you get to watch some amazing films, but the professor is also extremely knowledgeable about everything film-related. She is also accommodating and understanding and loves to chat during office hours. If I could retake this class I would. The structure for this summer was broken down into 20% participation which meant you had to attend every lecture and engage with the material. There was also 20% for homework which was turned in at the end of the session that had to do with written components for each of the weeks. Then the rest was broken down into 3 separate papers; The first was just putting together a paper where you search for sources in a database, the second was a research paper based on a prompt given, and the third was just a film analysis on a film of your choice from the syllabus. The extra credit was based on discussion posts and also attending film screenings.
