As a first-year student looking for interesting GEs, this class was definitely a great choice. I LOVED this class! I will say that some assignments are a bit time-consuming but if you plan ahead and try your best you should do fine. Our assignments and quizzes were typically due every Tuesday and Thursday and discussion posts/responses were due typically every Sunday. There was no midterm or final exam but there was a final paper. This paper was a film analysis about 6-7 pages long. I enjoyed doing this over an exam and think it better demonstrated my understanding of the material than an exam would have. Professor Trice is such a knowledgeable professor and, even though the class was asynchronous, her lectures were engaging and easy to follow. My TA, Iftin, was also very responsive and it was evident that she has a true passion for the material. Overall, I think if you just do all of your work in a timely and thoughtful manner you should be fine.
