12/13/2025		Dr. Papazian is one of the best professors I have had at UMD. She has certainly been the best professor I've had at facilitating discussions. She creates an environment that students want to participate in. She also provides so much feedback on assignments, which is really nice. She goes above and beyond in that regard. I would recommend taking a film class with her, even if it doesn't fit into your academic plan at all; do it. It will make your semester better. She is great.

There isn't a ton of work, mainly weekly responses to the films you watch + a reading or 2, with a take home midterm and a small final exam + paper. 10/10 would take it again!
