Winter 2023 - 100% would recommend. Professor De is one of the best professors I've met so far. She is always open to feedback, constantly changing the structure of the class to make sure her students can perform their best, and has a pretty manageable workload. There are 4 papers (of which one was removed for us this quarter because she could see us, especially the freshmen, struggling in winter quarter). The first paper was an analysis of films/media and gender representations (masculinity, femininity, etc.). The second paper was an argumentative paper on culture and its influences on media. The third paper (an either or for us) was either a paper on Beyonce/JLo and the impact of race in media, or a re-revision of paper 1 or 2. You might have both of these in your quarter. Apart from this, there were a few readings (nothing heavy) and notes on them as part of homework for some classes. I think the focus on audiovisual sources is what made me enjoy the class a lot. I didn't ever feel bogged down or bored by the topics and I actually was able to learn a lot. The grading, personally, was a little tough so I wont say this is an easy A, but it is definitely achievable if you work hard. After paper 2, I was able to fully understand my weaknesses and am in a much better position with my writing in general now. Would 100% recommend if you're willing to put in the work and enjoy her topics (Marvel, bollywood, hollywood, pop artists and their music videos, k-pop, etc.)
