The decision
Key questions
Is this an easy A?
Most students report an easy A from three studyable exams, review questions, and extra credit.
Online and in-person both call it easy A; weaker test-takers struggle more online on timed exams.
Is the course easy?
Film history content is accessible, entertainment-heavy, and paced as a light GE.
Both formats describe beginner-friendly film history with long but manageable lectures.
Is attendance flexible?
Online is often flexible while many in-person sections count attendance or strongly require show-up.
Online leans optional/no live seat; in-person more often mandatory for points.
Is this professor recommended?
Large majority recommend him for easy GE credit, clear expectations, and engaging film stories.
Strong across both formats; a minority dislike test-only grading or required Birth of a Nation viewing.
