Winter 2021 - Took this class remotely to fulfill a GE requirement. Overall, workload is pretty light: 1 midterm (3 essay questions), final (3 essay questions), a few short quizzes, and 2 event reviews (basically entails you reviewing some sort of artistic/media event). He also offered extra credit on the final by giving us the option of answering one additional essay question. Discussion section is mandatory with the exception of two sessions. Dr. Lunenfeld is very kind and strove to create a comfortable learning environment for his students. We were encouraged to come to OH once a week to ask questions or have discussions regarding course material and relavent topics. My TA Don Edler was also very helpful, and he created a space where students were comfortable sharing their opinions. Lectures were a bit dry, but overall this was a fairly easy GE to take remotely. While it is a history class, I did feel most of the material concerned topics still relevant today, including issues surrounding race/sexuality/gender.

Spring 2020 - Prepare to open you eyes and consider media from perspectives you may never have considered before. Lunenfeld's classes, especially this one, are nothing basic. You will delve into interesting and dense topics regarding the history of media and where it is going. These concepts are not particularly easy - but participate in the discussion and the lectures and you will find it enriching. The readings in this class can be hard, but they are some of the most interesting and perhaps revolutionary I have read at UCLA.
