Summer 2019 - Take my review with a grain of salt please, I was in it for a very brief period! I also took it online, so it may be a different experience than in-person lectures. I wanted to take this class for my film minor but I dropped it 1.5 weeks into Summer Session A. It's hard for me to stay accountable with online classes (especially since there are very few due dates) but this class made it even more difficult. The course website is organized but Professor Boyle's lectures do not seem so. She tends to ramble and talks in depth about her own experiences being a producer, but she skims over major production topics. However, I'm also more into the art side of film than the business side, so maybe this class just wasn't for me. I would've stuck it out longer in case the lectures got better but I had to pull out before the refund deadline :(
