Key questions

The online evidence shows strict late work, while in-person evidence shows high grades only with sustained reading, notes, and participation.
Is the course easy?

Both formats point to a demanding course, with in-person reviews giving stronger evidence about reading, papers, and class participation.
Is attendance flexible?
Most reviews mark attendance as mandatory and say participation, films, notes, and class content matter directly.
The online review also marks attendance mandatory, and in-person reviews repeatedly connect attendance to participation and graded work.
Is this professor recommended?

The only online review is negative, while in-person reviews are mixed between strong praise and strong warnings.
