Additional Comments |
I took this class for General Education credit and it was not as bad as I thought it would be. The material in the course was challenging to fully understand and weave together in the three week May term but it was not unmanageable by any means.
The class is out of 100 points and runs through the WKU e-mail system (NOT blackboard). You get ten points by submitting everything in the class on time and doing exactly as Dr. Pinnick asks you to do in sending e-mails and assignments. Then you have three question sets that are worth 20 points each and then you have two position papers where you have to use philosophical reasoning that are each out of 15 pts.
You have to watch a lot of films for the class and make sure you check your local library and movie store to ensure that those places carry them because several are foreign films that can be hard to find. This was not a problem for me but it was for other people who took the class so fair warning.
Dr. Pinnick has a specific way of formatting e-mails and papers so PAY ATTENTION to what she requests or your going to pay the price with your grade. However, I think she grades pretty easy and if you make your answers to the questions short, sweet, and to the point and are succinct in your essay in explaining information then it should be an easy A for you.
Definitely recommended as an online class for your winter or summer term time.
