Caroline Eades CINE280 Expecting an A Anonymous 05/20/2024	One of the few classes I actually looked forward to. Very light work load. One film to watch and a short review to write every week. There were a few pop quizzes but they are very easy. The final project is a five page paper about a film of your choice. The class discussions were interesting, we talked about our opinions of the film we watched that week. This is a class I really enjoyed and learned a lot from. 100% recommend it, especially if you enjoy watching movies.
Caroline Eades CINE280 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 05/15/2024	Nice class. The professor was very sweet. Easy, straightforward, and interesting class. There are weekly film responses, weekly in-class quizzes, and one final paper. Most weeks, there were guest lecturers who were a little boring. Really interesting and EASY elective if you are a movie fanatic who wants to get into international films.
Caroline Eades CINE280 Expecting an A Anonymous 05/09/2024	Course was super easy, just one film weekly to watch and write a review on. Occasional "pop quizzes" on the film that week (if you watched the film, it was hard to not get 100%), and a final paper to write. The prof didn't always do things a certain way that made sense on Canvas and typically the TAs would have to step in to fix it, TAs for this course were definitely what made it run smoothly. Most week's there were a guest lecturer who was an expert in that week's cinema.
Luka Arsenjuk CINE280 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 05/19/2023	This class was overall pretty interesting and very easy. Almost every week we have to watch a film (most of them were boring but if you watch them at 2x speed it's easier to get through) and then there's a discussion that's super easy - you just talk about different parts of the film. Then at the end of the semester, there is a final paper where you analyze one of the films. The lectures were also kind of interesting - there were guest speakers almost every week.

Luka Arsenjuk CINE280 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 05/01/2023	This class is extremely easy. There are easy weekly one-page double-spaced reflections based on weekly readings (that you can skim) and weekly films (that I recommended putting on 2x speed). About 3 weeks in, there is a new guest lecturer each week who goes in-depth on the theme/film of the week. He's strict about talking in class, but other than that he's easygoing.

Luka Arsenjuk CINE280 Expecting an A Anonymous 05/20/2022	If you want to learn about film or just have a few hours to sit in lecture and work on something else, this class is for you. Professor Arsenjuk doesn't really do anything or grade anything (except maaaybe the term paper). He just lectures and it is easy to tell he really loves film. The TA's are super nice and helpful. If you show up to most classes: easy A. The term paper is extremely easy to BS, and they were graded so quickly I highly doubt they were all even read thoroughly. Be ready to watch some dull movies that are hard to understand at 2x speed. Some of the assigned films are interesting, but those are dwarfed in number by the boring ones. In all, great prof and little effort required.
