I am currently in this class, and I would have to say that this is the best class I have taken so far at USF. I would recommend taking it Summer A because you have a smaller class size and it makes discussions a lot easier. Prof Maltezos is truly passionate about film and he is definitely someone that you can relate to.

Go to class, and you'll never need to read an article. Don't cite too much in your papers or he won't give you anything more than an A-. Come for the movies, they're good.

If you want an enjoyable and easy fine arts credit, take this class with him. There is no real reason why you shouldn't get an A. If you go to class and do the discussion posts about the films and the readings the pop quizzes will be nothing and you will get an A. Not even the papers are that difficult .
