I enjoyed taking this GE with Professor Lunenfeld. He is a very nice professor and would host a weekly chat for students to attend if they wanted to. I would have preferred his lectures be live on Zoom instead of pre-recorded because sometimes I lost focus, but overall it was still a good class and he was a good professor. I also had Susan for my TA and she was extremely kind and personable, and willing to help out if you needed it. If you need a GE in this area and you are interested in film & media arts I would definitely recommend taking it!

This class was very easy and follows the development of different forms of media. The TA graded my essays fairly but I heard other students got back unexpected scores. Pay attention to what is highlighted during discussion section.

TAKE THIS CLASS IF YOU WANT TO BOOST YOUR GPA. Theres theres a midterm, some photo/art reviews (which I did pretty much the day they were due and got A's), a midterm, and a final essay which is 3, 3 page essays. I would recommend doing the essays a week in advance because it got in the way of studying for my finals, but overall It was pretty easy. Most people, including me, just sign in and leave. It's 2 days a week, no discussion. If you don't stay for the lectures, it won't matter cause everything is based on common sense.

Professor Lunenfeld's class was soo fun. He's a great professor and I'd highly recommend this class to anyone looking for an semi-easy GE. As long as you take notes on what the professor says you'll be set for an A.

I barely looked at the textbook, if I'm being honest. It's useful for the final essay (3 essays each 3 pages long) but other than that, you don't have to use it too much. The other readings he assigns are casual reads; doing them helps you understand what he's talking about in class but you reeaaaally don't have to do them if you don't want to.
The midterm was so flippin' easy as long as you study your notes. You're asked 4 questions, but you only choose 3, and write a one page description about it. This is in class but you'll be fine if you don't stress and pace yourself. Also, there's an opportunity to get extra credit on this exam.

You have to do a couple of 1-2 page photo responses- no biggie and maybe another assignment? I can't quite remember.

I'm selling a PDF for this class's textbook: Revolutions in Communication
Some guy sold it to me for $10, which is waaaay too much for a PDF, so I'm just charging like $3. If you want it, email me: L*************
