Reviews of professor Cynthia Gottshall

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I actually learned some interesting things about film from this class BUT the movies we had to watch were terrible. I enjoyed about 2 out of the 15 we had to watch. You have to watch the movies and read the textbook for hw, so she does lectures in class. They are not helpful. The quizzes and tests are way harder than they should be.

There are only 5 test grades in the class and she straight up lied about what was going to be on our first test. Claimed it was majority matching and heavily hinted at ONLY 2 short answer questions. The test ended up being 10 matching questions in one part with 15 short answer questions and a bunch of fill in the blank answers. No one was prepared.

Boring professor. Boring class. No point in even watching the movies because you dont even talk about them in class. Be prepared to do the professors job though because she made us write the questions for the midterm and someone different has to teach every class.

She is a decent professor. There is no extraneous work. All of her assignments are clear. I would say you need to read the book and study the powerpoint, she does not really emphasize the book. If you study you'll get an A.
