Spring 2020 - This class was amazing and Professor Kuntz transitioned to remote learning extremely well. All lectures were pre-recorded and so informative. The textbook is 100% not necessary and I didn't watch all of the films and still ended with an A. He is just such a pure soul and I wish I could take the course in person.

For FILM 106A (not 106B): The class was a great upper-div GE. Professor Kuntz is very knowledgeable about the course, and is very rehearsed and his lectures are very organized. The class is graded on 5 components, 20% each: 2 papers (1 historical and 1 formal analysis), 2 exams (1 midterm and 1 final) and discussion participation. It was a lot of work, and it's easy to see why the course is 6 units; there is a LOT of information required for the papers and exams. While the class is long, there's only about 1.5 hours of lecture per class, about a 10-15 minute break, then a movie; usually you'll get out about 15 minutes before class officially ends. Staying for the movies is a great idea, especially with the beautiful projector, but it's not as needed because you only need to see a few of them for the exams and papers. There is apparently no curve, but they "consider your improvements in the class." Overall, it's a great class if you're willing to dedicate the time to it.
