Quarter: Spring 2024
Grade: A

Verducci being listed as the instructor for this course is really a stretch. This is an asynchronous course, lectures were recorded in the past by different person, and work is graded by a a TA, so Verducci is not the instructor, but rather a "facilitator" or something similar to that. Though the recorded videos are highly engaging and interesting, it really is disappointing not to have any real-time instruction. This is the only on-line asynchronous class I took in my entire career at UCLA, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone - except those that needed a fun and easy A.

This class was so fun! I am not a film major and still throughly enjoyed learning more about screenplay writing. As long as you watch the videos, keep up with the (easy) weekly quizzes, do the discussion boards and use your TAs feedback on your writing you should get an A!

This class was honestly very easy and a random class that was open that I had to take to be a full-time student. I am glad that it was super low effort because it helped balance out my two very difficult major classes. I appreciate that it is self-paced and fun with creativity. Overall, very easy class.

Fun, interesting class, learned a lot about screenwriting. Prof. Verducci was very nice and I always really enjoyed going to class.

Participation was mandatory, had to sign in at the end of every class. Grade consisted of 4 quizzes (just need to pay attention to what she says in class, review the slides), 1 treatment outlining the plot of your story, and the first 10 pages of your screenplay.

Would recommend!

Such an interesting and easy class. If you are in any way interested in film I highly recommend. Even if you aren't this is a really great class to take. Verducci does not do the lectures, they are prerecorded, but she appeared enthusiastic about the class and about students learning. Great class.

This was a really good and easy class. Lectures are pre-recorded and asynchronous so you can go at your own pace. Assignments and quizzes aren't difficult, and you get a lot of help with writing your screenplay. Discussion board points are also basically just points for completion. The professor offers three extra credit zoom sessions throughout the quarter too! Even though it was asynchronous and I didn't have that much contact with the professor I thought that she was a sweet person and I wouldn't have hesitated to ask her help if I needed it. I would recommend this class 100%!!

Grade: A+

This class was asynchronous so there was no live lecture, just pre-recorded videos. There was no midterm, just one final that consisted of students writing the first 10 pages of their own screenplay. There are free screenwriting app options - I used one and it worked just fine. The readings are provided, and the assignments are just to read and watch the movies. You don't really have to read the screenplays, but it helps to use them as a reference if you need help formatting your screenplay. Overall, the class is very easy and informative, and it's especially useful if you plan to have a career/hobby in creative writing.

Quarter: Fall 2022
Grade: A

This class was asynchronous and lectures were actually performed by Professor George Huang. Professor Verducci only ever instructed during extra credit lectures. She was very accommodating in terms of grading, especially when the strike began. The final project was to write the first 10 pages of your screenplay, but you begin brainstorming ideas for this script from the very first discussion board. I probably learn the most out of all my courses this quarter in this film class.

This class is comprised of:
weekly quizzes - 10%
weekly discussion boards - 30%
weekly assignments - 35%
final project - 25%
