He explains things in easily understandable ways and connects things to popular shows and etc. Discussions kind of dragged though, and I will say I was the only person in my FIG group that truly enjoyed lectures. Lots of readings but I got away without doing like any of them through the lectures alone.",

I also really enjoyed digging into some of the more dense scholarship that we looked at. Fair grading, 2 presentations, and choice between 2 shorter or 1 longer paper. Great guy!",

We would just talk about movies the whole time, and the readings were not necessary for the discussion. I wish there were more theory, but that's because I am, in fact, a nerd. Legit so funny and I could tell he liked listening to our ideas.",

The grading from the TA is kind of odd because even if you follow the rubric back to back they will still try to find ways to give you unnecessary points off. ",

The only downside is you have to rent media occasionally for assignments and the peer reviews aren't very helpful. You can easily an A if you like writing and are passionate about media.",

The online modules do a better job at teaching than lectures, and the papers cover very difficult prompts. Attendance for discussion is mandatory. Wouldn't recommend for humanities.",
