03/17/2025		Difficult class with few assignments that decide your grade. I loved watching the films, but it was hard when it came to assignments that were poorly explained. I wouldn't re-take the class if I had the choice.

11/21/2022		Probably my least favorite professor I've had at this school. The class is about the films of Martin Scorsese, and she somehow found a way to make that boring. Lectures are almost unbearable to sit through. Her assignments also have very unreasonable requirements, and she grades like she expects us to be professional film critics. She just doesn't seem like she wants the best for her students. I think she only teaches elective classes, so there's really no reason to take anything with her.

The class is definitely fun and you only need the powerpoints from lecture to ace the exams. No need to buy the book. Only reason it's missing one star is because of the essays assigned in discussion. Don't know why, but my exam essays received far more points than those in disccussion. I'd like to say it was my TA, but she was really nice. Regardless, this is a CORE that you will actually enjoy.

I took this class because my friend who took it when Metcalf taught said it was really easy and interesting. I loved the movies we have watched, and the lectures are easy enough to sit through. The discussions are great as the TA is awesome. Grades are based on midterm, final, group project, and 2 papers. The topics for the papers are ridiculous, but other than that a very easy and fun class.
