Amazing professor. Very easy going and very clear with instruction. Definitely recommend her class

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Overall the class is very easy to pass but make sure you to complete all assignments. She is a woman that cares so much about film and people that are interested will definitely like the class. The downside is that she is super harsh against any technology being out so stay on her good side and make sure to be fully focused on her lecture/movies.

She is super passionate and knowledgeable about film and its history. However, every class had at least 5-15 mins dealing with technical difficulties, and there would be times when we didn't watch a movie or do an assignment because she couldn't figure it out on the Canvas portal. Although, the class is super easy (watch movie and write paper).

She doesn't know how to grade and changes her criteria every other week telling us the final would be worth 15% then 35% and all of a sudden on the day of the final she changes it to 60% of your grade. She will criticize 1 thing in your discussion out of 10 topics and then will end up giving you a 3/5 on the assignment. Don't take her !

Such a sweet, caring lady. Shes really passionate about film and she chooses a wide range of films to show during the semester that youll really enjoy. Show up to every class. Write lengthy papers and do extra research. 3 of your best papers and a research paper are counted for grade. Loved Professor McCord!

Loved taking intro to film so much with her!! She is so sweet and you can ask her a question about any movie and she probably has the answer for it. She showed amazing films with thoughtful prompts to answer. Class is enjoyable as long as you attend zoom meetings, participate, and put effort in your answers. If you truly enjoy film you'll love it!!
