Winter 2019 - This class is cake, and I absolutely miss it. I was having a really tough time this quarter with my mental health and I always looked forward to this class. Rory wants you to understand the material, and he does a great job explaining it. My TA was a film veteran finishing up his degree, so he was a reliable source of information. Midterm is in-class. You watch a couple of clips and respond to the prompts. Not too hard. Like I said, my mental health was shit, so I was always smoking weed. Pretty sure I took the midterm high, and I enjoyed writing it. There's a take-home essay. Watch a few clips, respond to the prompts. The final is the best. You get to choose your own film to dissect, using the knowledge you've accumulated all quarter. I wrote all my essays high, and did well. This class will change the way you view films, and you'll want to take it again. The professor is funny, well-versed, likes Led Zeppelin (doesn't matter but that makes him cooler.) Also, we got to watch the original Blade Runner, set in Los Angeles, 2019, which is when I took this class :). TAKE THE CLASS IF YOU WANT A BADASS GE THAT YOU'LL FOR SURE GET AN A ON

Summer 2021 - Super chill summer class. Everything was asynchronous and you could watch lectures at your own pace. The Professor Kelly's lectures were exceptionally well-made and although they were often long, they were always interesting enough to hold my attention for the entire duration. My TA, Derek, provided perfect instructions on each assignment to ensure an A. My only complaint with this class is that the 2nd project, the storyboard, can take a while, but you're given more than enough time to do each project. Additionally, Derek and the Professor were always willing to give extensions to those who asked, so no worries there. All in all, great class, would 100% take again.
