Overall, the class wasnt horrible. Expect not to know your grade at any point throughout the semester though. The TAs are pretty tough graders so I wouldnt take this for an easy A. Entertaining class but lectures were kinda boring and didnt relate that much to the movies and readings. Nice guy tho.Rate My Professors ↗

Original student reviews · all captured dates
Prof. Mitman is the absolute sweetest. His class is super interesting and he has a really eclectic base of knowledge. He is probably too qualified to be teaching this class but he puts so much effort into the class. From guest speakers to in depth readings. Mitman knows whats up.Rate My Professors ↗
