Professor Drabinski is a great professor. I found the content and our class discussions really interesting and insightful. The class is pretty low-stress; he assigns a podcast and some smaller writing assignments throughout the semester. There are obviously readings for each class but they're never too dense. He mostly cares about you reading the content and sharing your thoughts and reactions to it, as well as your personal connections to the texts. He can talk a lot about his personal life at times, but it never got annoying or anything. I would recommend this class, or any class with him.

Dr. Drabinski's really passionate for his classes and his students, and he covers some of the most interesting topics you can learn at UMD. His classes just feel like book clubs/film clubs, there's no pressure to do anything and if you want you cruise by very easily. For 350 specifically, all we needed to do was record a podcast and do these 3 writing assignments where we wrote about 500 words about 2 films for each assignment. To some degree though, with how interesting the content was, I wish I was pushed to learn more. I'd love to write an essay for his classes.
