This is about the easiest class you could ever take. All we did was watch videos and it was really fun. I recommend this class and the teacher is really nice too.
rad class she is really nice and not bad looking so it keeps you interested, plus the movies are cool
One of the best professors and she KNOWS what she is talking about!
she is really cool its an easy B, a bit of work and you got an A, and she is kinda hot
A really fun class. Shes a great teacher, shows great movies, gives easy test and tells you what will be on them. You have to write one paper but the reast of the class is way enjoyable. In my opinion, an easy A.
AWESOME TEACHER. the most fun in a class i have ever taken!
No Comments
Very passionate about film, easy class will take attendance at the end of the film. Midterm & final are easy just use the studyguide. Term paper is only 3 pgs. & the topic is your choice. Will take her again very enjoyable.
you can tell she truly loves film and she tries to pass that love onto her students. this class so easy! i took it during the summer and we had a mid-term (simple), a paper (3 pgs), and a final (even easier). just make sure to have perfect attendence.
Easy going and very clear teacher. She tells exactly what she wants on tests and a short paper. I got an easy A by studying her notes. Take her! You also watch a movie every class (summer)
She is soooo HOT!! easy class
she never shuts up and tells the whole plot of the movie before it starts
She is very informative and clear on what she wants you to know. Super nice and easy going. Her class is fun and the movies she shows aren't anceint.
women in film was a great class, and i recommend to anyone who is not a film major. she knows exactly what she wants from a student. the movies are good. she has one paper assigned, not that hard either. 2 tests, mid-term and final which are very easy if you stay in class and watch the films
She was very clear and spoke in easy to understnad terms. Despite sharing his classroom, much easier to understand than Bob Cohen (the other film class teacher). Only had one assigned paper, and 2 relatively simple tests. Highly recommended.
Easy class cool teacher, you can learn alot if you listen in class, tests are easy if you stay in and watch the movies, you can get alot of credit for good attedance
although her tests and paper are pretty easy, the class is a complete snore. dont take unless you want to stay the whole 3 hours . attendance counts way too much.. but the class was pretty easy
Easy class. Twenty minute lecture, watch a movie. Preview gives you the test on a platter. Super easy term paper. If you can't pull at least a B in this class, drop out of school and get a job at McDonalds.
If truly interested in film or gender studies, you will get nothing out of this class. Pleasant but encourages no critical thinking, roughly 5 minutes of superficial discussion as class is ending, and shows subtle conservative bias, which leaves no room for feminist deconstruction of the filmic text or the choice of roles by actors.
This is by far the best teacher I have ever had, she is incourageing and her classes are easy if you come and pay attention, she writes down everything you need to know, I am changing my major because of her classes, she is a WONDERFUL teacher! Is avaiable and Very approachable,at anytime.
Nice teacher. Shows silly movies that aren't really the best for their genre. Talks a lot about the film business, only she was never in it. Her tests are simple if you already know anything about films or if you show up. The professor is always nice and has a smile on her face. I found the class an easy A if you do what you need to.
class was alright. good class to take if you know a lot about movies. test ask a lot of questions about things that dont really matter but are all scantron. i didnt go to often and i still got a B. overall i would say take it.
She made the class enjoyable. I learned a lot. She lectures for about 20 minutes then shows you a film. The paper is very easy as well as the tests. She is very personable and nice.
She's not the best teacher in the world, but decent. She is pretty easy though. Show up and watch the movie. The midterm and final are easy.
she is an awsome teacher. she gives good lectures on various people in the entertainment industry. you watch a movie from every genre every class session. she picks the good ones too. she is tough but cares about her students and will help you if you ask. her midterms and exams are easy if you go over the notes from the lectures at the beginning of class. definitely recommend her.
Easy class for sure, but I presonally didn't like her only because of the fact i thought she took major sides of the people that laughed at her stupid jokes.
Julie is an AWESOME teacher! She helped me and was willing to go the extra mile, not only for me but all her students.
If you're truly interested in film, look elsewhere. Most the movies we watched were from the last 5-10 years. (for sci-fi genre we watched sky captain & the world of tomorrow.) Her lectures are unorganized and her notes/materials nearly unreadable. An easy class but don't expect much out of it. Nearly a complete waste of time.
soooo easy. easy easy easy. go to class. get lecture notes. watch movie. sign out. the end! midterm, paper, final. the end.
Very easy. Two tests and one 3-5 pager of movie of your choice. Attendance is somewhat "mandatory" but as long as you have a friend and netflix in the class there is not really a need to go. Very nice and knowledgeable about films. Films viewed are all classics
Class was very interesting and fun. All you do is show up for lecture and then you watch a movie. I would recommend taking it. Easy A if your willing to show up.
She truly loves film and has an appreciation for it passed on through her family. She's very helpful if u need it. Just watch movies so if you miss class rent the movie - paper, midterm, final. Movies range from the early 1900's-2000. It's an easy A+ class if u watch the movies and take notes. No h/w. If you can't make it have a friend sign you in.
This class was a disaster--in two years of college I've never had to deal with a more contemptible, useless professor. For those of you who actually care, make sure you consider that the only reason she has such a high rating here is because she is perceived as being an easy professor. The content in this class is a joke! Look elsewhere!
History of Film- Awesome class I really learned a lot from her. I never bought a book, missed two classes (just rent the movie if you miss one) one assignment, midterm, and final. I got an A and saw some very cool films. As long as you're mature (this is college come on people) she's completely cool and easy to talk to.
This is a great class! She is passionate about film and very helpful! U come to class and watch a movie each time. Our class was able to meet screenwriter, Robin Swicord. She tells u exactly what is on the midterm/final. And there is one paper. It's an ez A if you watch the movies. U do not need to buy the book. She tells u the info u need from it.
really basic class and she is a good teacher. I actually looked forward to going to it. you watch a film every day..2 exams( 100 questions each but VERY STRAIGHT FORWARD) and one paper..pretty simple. Take this class! jenner has so much passion for film it's great!
her class is straight forward. you watch a movie every class and have one miderm one final and one paper. she gives you evrything you need to know just show up cuz attendance is a huge part of your grade
Really nice teacher. Attendance is a must. The movies we watched were really good. Mid term, final, and paper are straight forward. She tells you exactly what you need to know for the tests. Watching the movies really helps so dont miss one. If so rent it. Interesting class and informative. I recommend.
A very easy class, but is a lot of fun. You watch a wide variety of movies. An easy 3pg paper, and for the 2 exams you have to know the casts (really simple). I recommend the 3 hr / once a week class. You can watch at one sitting and there is no homework. Attendance is a must.
Easiest class I've taken so far. You come in, start late, she lectures for 15 minutes, you take a 15 minute break, and then you watch a movie. She does change up the syllabus a little bit, but its no big deal. She says you have to do the one paper on a film noir movie, but i knew kids who did theirs on Alot Like Love w/Ashton Kutcher. Easy tests too
She's really cool and nice. Script writing class was interesting. Just listen for what's due. You have any problems just ask her, she's really helpful. Biggest project is write 20 page script for final, make sure you work on it early.
I loved Julia she was one of the best teachers I have ever had. If you have an interest in Screen Writing take this class! You will love it! She is helpful, clear and generally interested in her students.
Easy class, just study the handouts and watch all the movies. Julia is one of the best professors at saddleback!
She is pretty good. Gives you the notes, all you do is highlight and add little bits. I slept through every movie and just watched it on my own. Great teacher and would recommend this class.
I did't enjoy the class much. Very few movies that I actually liked. Take her if you don't have any other choices. It's an easy class but most of the other CA teachers are a lot easier than her. You actually have to spend some time for this class.
Shes a great teacher. If you go to the class and listen to her 45 minute lectures you will pass. I missed 2 classes and just made flashcards of her handouts and got As on all the quizzes/tests. Prof. Jenner is quick to respond and help with any questions via e-mail. The class was great and an easy one for summer.
Julia's class is fun and easy to understand. I enjoyed most of the movies she showed us and I would take another one of her classes.
shes cool and obviously passionate about movies.shes also a director so she knows what shes talking about. you do have to attend but she gives a handout and study guide for everything. good movies and only one paper mid-term and final. watch the movies and show up youll be totally fine.
Very sweet lady. Gives handouts of all the notes. Midterm, final, and one paper. Easy, enjoyable class. Take it!
Great teacher! fun class! all you do is watch movies! attendance does count for your grade! One paper, a midterm, and a final! Highly reccomended!
easy class. don't slack though. attendance is a part of your grade. didn't need a textbook. 1 midterm, 1 paper, and a final. movies are a little outdated, but other than that...easy. she hates talkers. if you are there with your friends and chat, please don't bother. Julie is the best. also, she is very understanding.
Brady-Jenner is one of the nicest and smartest women I've met at Saddleback. Show up and ask questions. Get involved and you'll definitely learn a lot. I just love her!
She tells you to buy the textbook but only 5% of the information on there is on the Midterm and Final. Her test material goes over abstract information that only bores you from liking the class. She puts information on the study guide that doesn't even show up on the tests. Overall take the class if you want it for credits,you don't learn anything
I was interested at first, but I ended up bored (3 hr class). She's EXTREMELY sweet & easy. As far as learning goes, buy SCREENPLAY by Syd Field to learn about screenwriting concepts and structure; take Julia if you want to have some accountability in actually completing a script and some story concepts, as well as learn about the industry.
An awesome teacher! I had a blast in her class! If you are really into film, a lot of this class will be stating the obvious, but its a really good refresher. Reading the book really isn't need for the class, but it helps with your structure a lot. She'll help you out with whatever you need. Highly reccomend this class.
The class was stupid, but it was super easy. She basically gives notes and blabs about her opinions on the movies during lecture. Pretty much all the movies she screens suck. Her own film work she shows are really bad too. I wouldn't believe she was a professional if I didn't know it. If you are really into film, I'd take it with someone else.
Films are my life and that's all we did were watch them. Easy class, she gives you all the notes but you do have to study them for the test. One 3 page paper and that's it (sort of difficult but just ask her what's she's expecting on it she'll tell). A MUST TAKE CLASS!
Professor Brady-Jenner is one of my favorites. Her lectures are quick and interesting and she provides the notes for you. Watch a film in class each week. Write a 3-page paper ... not the easiest paper to write, but a nice change of pace from the usual college term paper. You really have to study for the midterm and final ...100 questions each.
Took this online. This teacher is awesome! She is really helpful, the movie selection was good. One discussion board with response a week. ~2 short quizzes a week(about5min). TAKE THIS CLASS. 50 question final, thats it. TAKE HER, SHES THE BEST!
This class is cake. BUT if you need to get a hold of the teacher good luck!! She is horrible at responding back especially when it involves your grade. Dont plan on having any interaction with this instructor. DO NOT BUY THE BOOK! Never used it once. She supplies the notes. Plus its her book and only wants you to buy it so she becomes rich.
This class is basically going to the movies every monday. if u can plan it right, u can skip lecture and just show up for the 2 hr video. the whole lecture is in ur tiny "text book" that she personally wrote, that has everything bolded in it that u need to know. everything in the book that is bolded is on the midterm and final THE BEST EASIST CLASS
Easy A, just come to class it is half of your points. Just one paper, midterm and final.
sooo unclear about what she wanted on the paper we had to write! everyone did terrible on it and had no idea why and was a b*tch when you ask her. I recommend choosing a different class with a different teacher.
Online class- I really liked her and her class. Very good organization, punctuality, and material. She has many great qualities of a college professor.
Class is usually a lecture followed by a film. Lectures are interesting and don't drag on.One 3pg paper is due. She's super approachable and will explain any questions. There's lots of review for tests and sometimes even extra credit. It's not super hard and I learned a lot.
Took this class online. DO NOT BUY THE BOOK, NEVER USED IT ONCE. Print out notes to use on tests! Be prepared to watch a lot of movies!! I really enjoyed a lot of the movies required to watch by the teacher!!
Makes it very easy to succeed. 1 three page page on a movie, 1 midterm w/ studyguide, 1 final w/ studyguide. 35min lecture with 10 min break and a movie cant get any easier. (email her if class is full and she'll give you a code) A. Tests are 100 questions. Very helpful professor.
I didnt like her because what she was asking for was not clear. She didnt answer any of my questions that I posted in the "Questions" forum and she is in a bad mood most of the time. *Online*
Fun class. Is really not hard at all. Just by showing up for class and staying to the end you get 10pts. per week. Rest of your grade is midterm, final, and paper. Lectures about genre and movie for roguhly 30 minutes and then you watch the movie for the week, so almost always get out early.
Professor Jenner is extremely nice, she is really helpful and i dont know a lot about what the other students said about her not responding to e-mails because she totally did. She was very clear in what she wanted and expected. no she didnt answer questions in the questions forum but hey other class mates did and its not hard to e-mail. simple.
Awesome teacher! She is very laid back and makes the already fun class even more fun. Lectures for about a half an hour, then watch a movie. She keeps things straight forward and simple. The book is the lecture in an outline form, so it's an easy A.
it would be easier to get jesus on the phone than her. dont take online classas she is useless
Easy. Easy. Easy. If you're a film major, you will ace this class no problem. It's a lecture, followed by a movie. Only one homework assignment, and the tests are super easy if you study for them. Mrs. Jenner is very nice, although she does come off as somewhat pretentious in her lectures, but maybe that's just me.
DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS ON LINE OR YOU WILL REGRET IT FOREVER. You will have more homework than a biology class. Reading assignments and quizzes are confusing and do not match respectively. Lots and lots of writing assignments in complicated formats for a film class...! She does not even let you see the quiz or test results. THE WORST ON LINE CLASS
She is such an awesome teacher. She loves what she teaches and makes the class fun and interesting. The only homework is one essay (she gives you 6 weeks). The only tests are a midterm and a final. I got an A on both. It's easy if you study. Definitely a great class and an easy A.
easiest class ever. she gives you a study guide for midterm and final and if you study that you will get an 100%. during lecture take notes on what she says a test question will be because it will actually be on the test. one three pg paper on film noir. follow guidelines and it is easy. EASY A
If you do not take this class you are an idiot. The history of Film class is Two Tests, One 3-5 page paper and 16 weeks of watching great movies. The book you have to buy is less than $30 and is a word by word collection of every lecture for the semester. That means you do not have to take notes, just read along. Loved the class, take it.
The best film professor you could ever ask for. The text is small, easy-to-read. The tests are straight-forward but can be difficult if you're not paying attention. This is not some class you can just fall asleep in! There is a mid-term, Final, and a 3-4 page paper that involves watching a film (film-noir). Must be interested in film to do well!
She just wants everyone to come to class. As long as you make attendance and attention mandatory, the class is super easy. i took her Women in Film class last semester and received over %100 in the class. Don't walk out the back door or have your cell phone out! She'll kick you out of the class.
You will find it very tempting to fall asleep during class, but if you actually watch the films, it makes your test easier. For the midterm, it's basically just cast memorization. She is a nice lady, but doesn't like slackers. Textbook is straightforward and short/fast to read.
Online Class easy, but good luck getting a hold with her, she never (almost) replies back, aweful links and organization, you are on your own. I am amazed she get's pay for the online class i can do that for free.
Took her online class was so much fun and learned a lot. If you own netflix this class will be a breeze, otherwise you may have difficulty finding the movies she assigns. I enjoyed this class very much. Recommend
She is the best cinema teacher ! She loves movies, is really funny and makes the class really enjoyable. Grades on attendance, a paper, midterm and final but she gives you a study sheet for those with the material you clearly need to know. Very straightforward, buy the book ! Study and you'll get an easy A
Class is boring,hours of watching film. But the professor picks favorites(men)she seems to have an opinion when grading.Papers are based off opinions and views yourself so how can you fail, but she seems to find a way for you to get an F. She snt helpful. Get on her good side or dont take this class!
THE WORST TEACHER EVER. SEEMS TO BE ALWAYS ON HER PERIOD AND HATES STUDENTS. BITCHES AND COMPLAINS TOO MUCH. NOT CLEAR ABOUT THE ESSAY NOR TEST. DONT TAKE HER!!!
OMG what can I say... She is very unclear with the essay and tests. Must love movies in order to get on her good side. Always in a bad mood, seems to hate most of her students.
You really should like movies if you expect to get on her good side. Tests and extra credit quiz's aren't too hard if you put some effort into it. Her essay however is really difficult, only because she expects something different than what she at first says. She can be unclear. But if you attend class, and treat her with a lot of respect your fine
Film Appreciation ONLINE. i hear she favors men in class tho. Easy class 1 quiz each week. 1 discussion comment and response. 1 midterm, 1 final. 1 Extra credit opportunity. I got a B cuz i forgot to do a few quizes but its an EASY A online. just 1-2 hours a week. Id usually do all the work in 1 night that it was due.
She's so nice and gives her students more than enough opportunities to get an A.
She's the best teacher..she's so nice.she gives review sheets for each exam and also extra credit exam.as long as u attend the class and study from the book, you'll get an A.
Jenner's class consists of lectures and movies. Her lectures are interesting and the movies are fun. If you can't stand b&w movies or are bothered by her textbook (which is inexpensive but could stand some professional editing) then you probably won't enjoy the class. If you like movies and can sit still for a few hours, you'll easily get an A.
Wow, i am taking her online class, and it is bad. She assigns essays, with almost no material or outline to go off of. Then she is super picky about format, even when she says to do the essay any way you want. Definitely the most useless teacher i've had.
Took online over summer-terrible teacher, easy class. Takes half the semester to grade, doesn't respond to emails. she thinks the only good movies are old ones (like pre 70s)
Online summer class is way easy. Quizzes are automatic A's. Tests are automatic A's. The DBs are automatic A's if you link a YouTube clip. Some movies are interesting but ALL are old. No effort to pass the class. It is interesting and worth taking though
If you miss out on the movies, make sure you rent it and watch. Read her book and her tests are fine. Remember cast and writer or directer and her paper just make sure you pay attention to the directions. She really loves her job. Take her!!!
Brady-jenner is pretty chill/laid-back, i had no problem going to her class even at 7:30 am, once a week, she talks for about 30 mins then you watch a somewhat enjoyable movie. textbook is written by her and necessary to study for midterm/final and for her maybe like 6 hw assignments i recommend her class its a breeze and expands your mind easy a/b
You need to go to class. She talks for a little bit and the rest of the time you watch a film. She allows you to rewrite your paper if you talk to her about it. She wrote the book you use for class. Just read the book, and write a good paper and you will have a good grade! Just do not be late for the class
This lady is awful. She wrote her own book which is full of nonsense and she constantly forces you to do busy work. Her tests include things that are not in the book that she may have mentioned once in the class. DON'T TAKE
You must attend class and do all the homework assignments or else she will give you an additional assignment thats not even for points. Midterm and Final are really hard, but if you do all the homework and go to class you will be fine... it does get boring after a few weeks though :/
This class is very fun. Watch movies, and go over lecture which is only like 15 min long at most. Homework is just a worksheet in her book, sometimes have to watch a movie and answer questions. Midterm and Final are easy. She gives you study guides. Extra credit is available
This class was overall the easiest class. Waking up at 7:30am to watch a movie and get a lecture on it wasn't the best but its manageable. She talks for a little bit and the rest of class is watching a movie. HW/midterm/final is STRAIGHT from the book.She tells you EXACTLY what is on the tests so all you need to do is memorize!
DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS ONLINE! She makes you pay an extra $75 to join some weird website, which was already created by another teacher (so why is she getting paid?) Her assignments are unclear and hard, the notes are horribly written and the exams have the WRONG answers, which she even admits, but doesn't fix! We had to do her work for her. Sad.
This class is terrible. You have to watch a movie every night. Sometimes it goes over about 30 minutes. The test are hard. The busy work is just there to make you buy her homemade book ($60). Movie class should be fun, not full of black and whites written in the 30's & 40's, coupled with a poorly written book.
LOVED IT!AMAZING CLASS!SUUUUPER EASY!IF U DONT GET AN "A" YOU DID NOTHING!NO PAPER THIS SEM.,GIVES A REVIEW SHT WITH EVERY SINGLE QUESTION ON IT FOR THE MULT. CHOICE MID&FINL! MUST ATTEND CLASS & NOT COME IN LATE AND STAY TILL THE END! WATCH A MOVIE, TAKE 2 EASY TESTS, WRITE NO PAPERS, SIMPLE HW ASSGNT = A+ FOR A TRANSFERABLE CLASS!! COME ON!!!
Fun online course. The course design still has some bugs but Prof. Brady-Jenner is very helpful. You will learn a lot. Do all the assignments on time and get an easy "A."
Class is fun to attend. She talks then gives you a break, then you watch a movie. There are two tests, and one paper. She lets you re-do the paper if you talk to her about it. She also gives extra credit quizes out. Overall its a pretty easy class, and fun. You must go to class!
What in the actual F? The tests are NOT hard nor is the paper. How anyone can not get an A in this class, I will never understand. She gives u a DETAILED guide for exam, SO EASY. Prof. Jenner is a passionate and incredible person I won't soon forget. She shaped my interest even more in cinema. Love her!!
Do the work and study,youll get an A.She talks through the text(have to buy hers),bk,then a movie.Takes roll at the end.Points per attendance,counts for grade, if you miss alot it'll affect. Midterm,final, hw assignments (easy points),extra credit. study guides (everything on the test is on the guide). Very simple, study and go to class, get an A
There is no reason to NOT like her or her class. Took her for American Cinema, the book is very easy to read, her lectures are EXACTLY LIKE THE BOOK. Gives you a study guide a couple weeks before midterm/finals, and the test is word-for-word like the guide. Gives you EXTRA CREDIT opportunities. You really have to try to get anything below an A.
This class is easy. Show up, watch the movies, do the homework, and get your A.
SUUUPER EASY A!! Movies kind of stunk but not bad enough to not recommend this transf. class for an easy A. So worth it. Must attend classes. Review for mid & final with all you need to memorize. Took her for ctvr 3 also, another easy A+++
Knowledgeable and passionate about the subject matter. A realistic teacher who understands the needs of her students.Don't buy a used book, you need the original homework pages from the book. If you do the work, go to class and watch the movies you will get a good grade. Loved her and thought she was funny.
Although this class is 3 hours long, this class is easy if you do your work and study for it. There is also an extra credit.
This is an easy A class, a little time consuming with the movies, but super basic. Just do the assignments and study the notes. The only problem is communication and grading. Prof Jenner only answers emails and discussion questions if she feels like it and takes FOREVER to grade anything. Frustrating, but still an easy class.
Easy class, but she seriously only answers emails if and when she feels like it. Frustrating for an online class. Also takes FOREVER to grade assignments.
Good teacher at the beginning, but towards the end I did not like her. She emails you way too much. Her emails should be reminders, but they are pointless little subjects. I emailed her twice and have still not gotten a response. I would not suggest taking this class unless you have to.
Such an easy class, but don't take the online version. You recieve so much information through the lecture that she practically tells you the test. Key phrase "this will be on the test". If you don't get an 'A' you shouldn't be in college.
SUCH AN EASY CLASS! How anyone can say this is a hard class is beyond me. She lectures briefly and then you watch a movie literally every week. Homework and tests are easy too. She is a passionate teacher and I learned things I never thought I'd have an interest in! Take this if you want an easy, fun class :)
Probably one of the more interesting professors on campus because she is very passionate and also successful in her area of study. I thought the movies would suck considering they were mostly black and white, but it was only until after I gained the knowledge and appreciation behind the movies she selects did the class become super interesting.
Professor is very knowledgable about the subject, and the class is very interesting. It's the only class I actually look forward to going to.
Very personable professor, is passionate about cinema, clear on expectations and study guides given for tests so there's no surprises. Tests fairly easy. Don't talk when she's talking and keep your cell phone put away during this class. Most people got A's in her class. I enjoyed this class very much.
Awesome class for an easy A. Pretty much show up, listen to a short lecture, and then watch a movie. Only homework is some worksheets and then a midterm and final. The only issue is she wrote her own book which is mandatory, so you need to pay full price. Otherwise really fun and interesting and the teacher is a total sweetheart.
To begin, she makes you buy the text NEW, as in for the full retail price and refuses to allow anyone to buy a used copy. Partly so she can make a profit since she IS the author. Also, she is extremely condescending in her responses to emails and questions. Easy class, but self-absorbed as a person and as an instructor.
Prof Brady-Jenner is great professor with passion in what she is teaching. Her professional and family background are admirable because of what she believed and accomplished. I now have different perfective of Film than I ever was.. Take this for an easy A (if you study).
Took her online class, i didn't want to take any other type of art history or music history so i thought CTVR 3 would be awesome!! Loved this class, do the posts online, watch movies= A
BEST CLASS.BEST TEACHER.U WILL GET AN A!
not clear in directions.Her course always has some kind of glitch.Constantly paying for movies that are not on Netflix, and are hard to find. Poor communication skills.
This prof seems high strung/frazzled. I don't feel she should be teaching an online class, her lectures+ emails are littered with typos. She also responds to your emails from like 3 different addresses. She wrote her own textbook and it's literally a bunch of her lectures typed out and scanned together, not worth the $ even though it's used a lot.
TAKE. She literally tells you what's on both tests in lecture, & you can just highlight it all in textbook. 1 midterm & 1 final with thorough review sheets for each. Dude.. it's an easy A all by watching movies. Crazy not to take this class.
This professor is nice, helpful, and passionate about what she teaches. She really cares about how well you do in the class so she is always ready to help you and she emails you back very quickly. If you study the study guides she gives you, getting an A in the class will be very easy!
Such a fun and relaxing class. Short lecture before every movie that you can read in her book. Attend every class and watch movie - you'll do well. Downside is you HAVE to buy her $60 book for a few worksheets. Won't let you photocopy them from someone else. Besides that, there's a midterm and final that she provides review sheets for. Great class!
This class is really easy. The only downside is that she takes attendance. All you do is watch movies, you get a little bit of homework but it's extremely simple. If you study for the midterm and final and do your homework, you will get an A!
If you attend class, do assignments, & study for midterm/final you should have no prob passing. MUST buy her book NEW bc assignments are torn out & handed in - no photo copies allowed. Don't talk during lecture, don't be late, & don't be on your cell. Bring plenty of snacks for the movies (10 to watch throughout the semester) overall good class
Good class, watched films and took quizzes. The discussions were based on the movies we watched. Overall, interesting class and an easy first online class
This class is the easiest A ever. She gives you the study guide for exams, and it's exactly what is on the exam. She gives you the study guide two weeks before exam so yuo can have enough time to answer all the questions. Her assignments are easy. Just come to class, watch the movies, and do the homework. She's a really good teacher.
I enjoyed this class. The professor is enthusiastic and interesting. The movies were great. She gives you study guides before the test and wants you to succeed.
I thought all the movies were going to be boring, black and white, put me to sleep types of movies. I liked all the movies we watched, plus many had color. It definitely would have been more fun if I didnt sign up for the 7:30AM class. She provides study guides which are mirrored into the test. She also gives extra credit. TAKE HER! HAVE FUN
The online movies she assigns aren't covered by a certain membership she recommends, so you end up having to pay $3 each when you find them online elsewhere. She uses a textbook she wrote which is full of typos/grammatical errors. She is very nitpicky! Otherwise it's a very easy class. Just wish I'd known about the movie fees (12 movies total).
Loved the class. This was the only class that I got to relax. I felt like I went to a movie once a week. Midterm and final were easy. Professor was so helpful.
She's an amazing professor, always in a good mood and super stylish! You don't have to take notes in class, just buy the book, it's literally word for word. She gave me a whole new love for movies and it's an easy A if you just come to class. There's only two tests and she tells you exactly what's going to be on it, super easy. Take the class.
shes nice but you wont be able to sell back your book which she wrote so basically everyone who takes her class has to pay top dollar for new book that they won get money back on and all the money goes to her. I wish she would change her movie list the first 3 movies are good.
Mid Term and Final cover a lot of material, it's scantron but 100 questions so study the study guide and any notes you have as she will tell you when something will be on the test. Homework was really easy, I did have to pay for like 2 amazon movies that I rented, no big deal. I get the feeling she was an easy grader on the writing assignments.
Super easy online class! Thoroughly enjoyed the class, If she taught another similar to this class i would take it.
She is a very fair, easy going, and fun teacher. Great class to take for a GPA booster. If you don't get an A in this class your would have to be either 1. Lazy and you should die, or 2nd you never went to class. Be respectful and turn your phones off and don't put your feet up on the other chairs like your at home.
Watch a movie every class. Learn some actor names, directors and producers and get an easy A!
Attendance is not a "drawback" as some comment - this prof. is so passionate & interesting, it's a pleasure to attend. Don't attend, you won't do well. Clear instructions & rules are given at beginning & an easy "A" is guaranteed if you show up and do the work (which is also easy). Brady-Jenner is fantastic-you'll be so glad you took this class!
Took women in cinema. Loved it. Good midday class if you want to relax and watch a movie once a week in a class you get credit for. Teacher I will always remember. You learn new cool things. Buy the book, it's hers (its basically the notes and homework). She gives feedback and reviews so you know all. Go to class, get the book, skim it, you pass.A
Took women in cinema. Loved it. Good midday class if you want to relax and watch a movie every wk in a class you get credit for. Teacher I'll never forget. You learn new cool things. Buy the book, it's hers (its basically the notes and homework). reviews so you know all. Go to class, get the book, skim it, you pass.
Not the nicest but how much can you complain about cinema. Have to buy the workbook she wrote. Easy class
Study guide has everything you need for the test. Buy the workbook as you have hw on it. Not much hw tho. 1 Midterm and 1 Final (not cumulative). The workbook's straightforward and easy to read too. Movies were interesting (except the documentary). Easy and entertaining class!
This class was great. Professor was absolutely amazing! If you get the chance, talk to her about some of the movies, she is so fun to talk to and really makes you interested in this subject. You watch great movies every class. Finals are straight from the study guide, study it and you get AT LEAST a B. She even gave us 3 freebee answers.
She tells you to buy the book (because she wrote it) and claims you can return it (you can't) so save yourself the money and don't buy it. I didn't use it once. Other than that, easy A. Some boring movies, but that is to be expected when you aren't interested in 1930's black and white movies.
She is a great teacher that is passionate about her job. She use to be a part of the film business and has tons of inside stores about directors and actors. You have to buy her book because she has you rip out the assignments to turn them in, that is the only down side. Also, attendance is a part of your grade. All you do is watch movies, show up.
LOVED this professor. She has great (and short) lectures and insight about film. Super easy class if you show up (which is simple because all you do is watch movies)!
Took CTVR 3 online and it is the easiest class I have ever taken in my life. Super easy and the professor is super clear about what she wants. The discussion boards were very easy and clear to understand and there were only a few assignments the whole semester that were also very easy. Take this class.
This is the best class!
First thing's first: BUY THE ONLINE TEXTBOOK!!! This saved me from hours of searching through the book with built in search features. Also, she will relentlessly spoil every movie you watch before you watch it so if you hate spoilers, this isn't the class for you.
Super awesome class and teacher! Just watch movies and study the study guide and you'll get an a!
Super easy class! She lectures for 30-45 minutes at the beginning of the class, then shows a movie. Strict no phone policy, but it didn't matter because she made class so much fun! Study the study guide she gives you for midterm and Final and you will ace the class.
Makes it very clear that the book is mandatory...I'm 12 weeks in and have yet to open that thing. Don't waste your money, it's just going into her pocket. Overall, the class is easy. She can be a tough grader with your discussion boards. Not the best communicator.
Knows what she is doing
I loved this class ! Super easy and fun. Lectures first half and movie the second half. Gives you everything for midterm and final. I love movies so it was great class
Very funny and articulate lady. Very helpful and easily approachable. She tells you what to know and what you don't need to know often. Only a few homework assignments and quizzes. The homework is extremely easy. Gives great study guides for tests but the tests are hard. If you don't plan on going to every class don't sign up, miss 1-2 max.
Mandatory attendance, miss three classes you get dropped or failed. Super easy, make sure to study for tests in advance. Lots of memorization but very easy.
I loved taking CVTR3 with Professor Jenner. Class is easy, really. You watch a movie every week. Tests are straightforward from study guide that she passes out.
Makes you sign the attendance sheet after every class, her lectures are directly from the book. 100 q final and midterm, easy A if you study and pay attention.
I took this class over the Summer. As long as you do the work and complete the assignments on time, you will do well in the class. She is very responsive to emails and the textbook is mandatory. I used the online book and it was cheaper and easier. The professor will send out a link with details on how to purchase both. I would highly recommend her
Professor Brady- Jenner was really sweet and straightforward. She tells you In the very beginning how the class will be and what you will be graded on. Come to class and don't fall asleep during the movies because you will be tested!
Take this class! You show up, watch the movie, and leave. The homework is easy and not frequent. Tests are easy. This is the easiest art credit there is.
She just lectures the first half of the class and the second half you just watch a movie. The homework was basically just two "essays" (they can literally just be two paragraphs) about movies you watched on your own or quick little worksheets. Tests are also easy and she's super sweet
Best course ever. You watch movies every class, and she picks the best movies!! You learn a lot about film and I think anyone who likes movies will adore this class. Brady-Jenner is also super kind, if you have any issue, tell her! She is really understanding. SHOW UP TO CLASS, you get half your grade from coming to class! Best class ever!
She has you buy the book that she wrote and it is mandatory to print out the questions; if you don't you get a zero. to me it doesn't feel right college, even community college, can be pricey I feel like forcing students to buy the book do to the fact that the ebook has the original owners email.
She is a Really nice , Respectful Teacher. Show up to class it counts as grade. Tough grader but easy test and helps you a lot!
Her class is a lot of fun. She is caring and respectful. She does grade on attendance and participation since it is a film class and you watch movies. You can also take her class on-line.
I cannot say how much i love professor jenner enough i took her Women in Film class as well and i just wish she taught more. She loves film & really, truly cares for her students. Her class curriculum is very straight forward & there are no surprises. The homework and film analysis are fun and easy but be sure to study for the midterm and final!
Cannot say enough about her. Barely any homework. What little homework there is pulled from the textbook which she wrote herself. Such an easy and laid back class. Highly highly recommend.
Believe it or not this is a movie class therefore yes she does not like cell phones during class. She is very nice and lectures are interesting. Took class for fun and elective credit, very easy. Pay attention, do homework (which takes no more than 15 minutes typically), and you'll pass with an A. Tests are very easy just memorization of names.
I did everything in her class and showed up for class and didn't even pass. I did the final and showed up and she didn't even grade my final and ended up getting stuck with an F. Doesn't even reply back to your emails as best she can regarding my grade. Worst instructor ever, but it's an easy A. Hopefully she doesn't do the same to someone else.
Read the lectures, watch assigned movies, stay up to due dates: easiest A of your life. The only downside: her textbook.
Took her online. Movie selection was really good. I enjoyed them. Easy A if you put effort by watching the movies. Hw is DB based on the movies and a 10 question quiz. Both twice a week. That was for an 8 week class though. Midterm and final are 100 question multiple choice. Really easy if you watched the movies.
This is the second online summer class I have taken from her. She is pretty easy if you do the work and show her that you care, then you will get an A. Buy the online book, it is cheaper and has a search function. The class consist of weekly movies, quiz's on lectures, and DB Post. Usually one a week, sometimes two.
She's a great professor and is understanding unless stated otherwise by instruction. She's graded my two late assignments even though she said she wouldn't take them. Be consistent and you'll definitely pass.
took her summer online course. we had two quizzes each week, 100 points midterm and final which was so easy and weekly discussion boards as well. She makes the class really enjoyable although it was online and as you watch movies, you learn a lot about cinema and movies. She grades easily and cares about her students. TAKE HER if you get a chance!
I was really surprised at how much I loved this class. I expected black and white films to drag on but they were just as great as the rest of the films in the class. Tests and quiz's are what you've learned and lectures are reasonable length and informative. This class was a treat as was the professor! Must Take!
She is the best, most intelligent teacher I've ever had. She's obviously knowledgeable about her subject- but she's also so caring. She actually wants to hear from her students! She sets up her class for you to pass, and she will remember you if you actually talk to her and care about the subject. She inspired me to change my major. Just the best.
Horrible. Not flexible.
This class was very easy and very enjoyable. As long as you do the assignments and do an average amount of studying, you will pass with ease. Only 2 tests. She keeps class very simple and she picks some great films for viewing. Would definitely take again.
Best professor I have had at Saddleback! You have to buy her book, but it is such an easy read and only contains the info you need to know! She is very passionate about what she talks about and it comes across in her lectures! Definitely recommend her class to anyone who wants to watch some great films, read great material and get an A!
Great professor, great class!! Take this class!! Easy A if you do the work! Prof Jenner is so cool and very knowledgeable. Low key celebrity in the production world. Great lectures, easy class, but not brainless. Tests are easy if you paid attention and studied her review sheets. Homework takes no more than 10 min each to complete. Fantastic class!
Prof Jenner is an amazing professor. She is caring, gives great lectures & shows great films! About 3 or 4 write ups only a paragraph or two. 2 exams and yes you do need to know the names of directors, producers & actors. This is cinema! Study guide is very good prep for exams. She is very fair & has a sense of humor. Would definitely take again!
If you want an easy A take this class . If you have the time and enjoy movies take this class. I learned a lot about how movies are made. She uses her own book which makes every quiz , the midterm and final easy.
She is very uptight about the announcements. If you miss one thing she is very unpleasant to try and discuss concerns/questions with.
This was a very fun elective class. She's passionate about films and it really shows. The homework is very simple and quick, and she gives a fantastic study guide before the big exams that will really help you get an A. Very kind person and very approachable, just don't use your phone in class and you'll have smooth semester!
Professor Jenner is very knowledgeable and passionate about the subject. Extremely strict with phones.
She is a really great professor. She is nice but can be a little strict. Her exams are easy if you study. You have to buy her textbook and will need to use it. The homework is very easy and can be done in 20 minutes or less. You need to turn in homework on time. She is passionate about film. I would recommend her class.
This was a great class to take as an elective. I did not expect much going into this class, and I learned a lot. She is very passionate and a fair grader. You must buy her ebook on GRTEP website. She does take a long time to grade homework assignments and does not communicate well through email. The homework is so simple. Highly recommend.
Professor Brady-Jenner is nice and responds to emails quickly. A few things bother me about this class. 1. She REQUIRES you to buy her textbook that she wrote. If you don't, she'll drop you. 2. Most of the movies you have to watch suck but I watched less than half of them and still got an A in the class. Midterm + final are easy. Would take again
Wonderful professor, great selection of movies. Discussions based on movies every week and quizzes. I really enjoyed this class, learned a lot about movies. Midterm I almost ran out of time, be prepared, read over the study guide. Final was I believe easier. Also uses her own book that she wrote, it made it feel more connected to her.
She's a really nice person and is very passionate about films. Make sure you actually study for the tests!
you have to buy her textbook & just get the online one. it's half the price and you can search things. try hard on the quizzes, and the discussions are easy to get full credit if you respond to someone else + your post. the midterm & final have repeated questions. the movies are actually really really good. watch when they interest you.
She came off as really nice but was strict on class etiquette. The lectures were kind of boring and all the material is accessible online. Final and midterm exam has a quizlet so that was easy.
If you want an A, you're going to have to work for it. The midterm and final was kind of hard. STUDY! There was a lot to remember (names of certain people, details in the movies you watch, and certain facts you learn about movie genres). She does make study guides for both. Make sure to take good notes, read the material, and do the homework.
This class is very organized and straight forward! Stay on top of your assignments and you'll easily get an A.
Brady-Jenner's class is one of the easiest you'll take at any institution of higher learning. She's polite and knowledgeable while grading on very few things. You show up, listen to a 20 to 30 min lecture, and watch a film. That's it! As long as you read her text and complete the assignments (all online), her class will be a breeze.
Very engaging teacher with great passion for the subject of Cinema. Prepares you for exams. You'll watch lots of variety in films. She will work with you if needed. Very caring about students. Changes things from outline so if you're not in class you will not know what's going on. Class discussions on test.
Easy online class over summer! Have to watch atleast one movie and read chapters. Quiz and discussion each week but pretty easy and all info can be found in notes. Midterm and final contain mostly old quiz questions or are in textbook. Movies can be boring but most are interesting!
She is such a nice a professor. Super understanding and was awesome throughout the entire semester. Class is super easy even though the movies are kind of boring. She makes very detailed study guides so the tests are pretty easy, assignments are easy too. Attendance is taken so as long as you show up, you'll get an A.
Easiest class I have ever taken. She makes the subjects easy to remember and gets straight to the point of a lecture. Also, most of the class time is devoted to movies, and she always puts them on the test. The homework is super easy, just don't forget to do them! Have fun!
The whole class is watching movies then writing summaries while also discussing with classmates several times a week. She gives you all the stuff you need to study. I enjoyed several of the movies.
This class is definitely not an easy A, you definitely have to work for it and study hard for the midterm and final. She gives out a study guide for each exam. Attendance is mandatory and there is hw each week. Professor Jenner is super sweet and always is available if you need anything, just don't be on your phone in class and don't come in late.
eh, there's better teachers to take. Most of the stuff you can find online expect the finals, she makes you take those in person.
One of the greatest Professors I have ever taken. Super passionate about the art of Cinema and she is wonderful to talk to about Film and other topics in general. She shows wonderful films and she's an amazing person in general. Most assignments are very easy. Dont show up late or leave early. Be on time and be respectful and enjoy the class !
One of the worst experiences Ive ever had with a professor. She asks questions ON THE EXAMS that she never taught, and werent in the reading. The rest are completely irrelevantAlso, she makes you buy the online textbook that SHE WROTE and its full of typos and none of the information you actually need. The last film you watch is HER documentary.
I thought this was a fun class. but she is trippy with her grading and she can be very rude.
I took this class for the summer. When you expect to take a class in the summer it is suppose to be fast pace, but gave more time to do assignments. Theres a lot of discussions boards. The midterm is more than the final. On the midterm and the final there were surprised questions we were not even taught, which was weird. Do the work and get an A.
Her lectures are really entertaining, and so are the movies. There are 12 quizzes, a midterm, a final, 3 assignments, and 6 discussions. You watch movies for the discussions, and they are easy. Just answer the prompt. She doesn't want essay long answers on her assignments and discussions. Her quizzes are based off the lectures. Manageable class!
Absolutely incredible! The class was an easy A, every zoom meeting was counted as extra credit! She is very sweet and tells amazing stories about her father and grandfather in the world of cinema! I really enjoyed the class and I am going to take another one of her classes in the future!
If you quizlet this class like 90% of the people do it is an easy A, if you want to do it all on your own be prepared for a ridiculous amount of reading and watching of videos/movies. I decided to take the former route rather than the latter, so the class was great haha.
She isn't understanding at all. Her website will not make it easy for you to figure out her grade. She says to email but won't respond, zoom times inconvenient. Hardly any discussions and had quick small assignments. I highly recommend saving the syllabus to a document and delete the weekly assignments as you go, like a check list. Hope this helps!
Professor Brady is very sweet and caring. This class is an easy A if you use quizlet. There is a midterm, final, a few assignments and discussion boards but not hard. You get to watch amazing movies throughout the semester so why not take this class. If you join her random zoom meetings she will give your extra credit. Max 10 extra credit points.
Professor Brady-Jenner is awesome! Just as long as you actually do the work (read textbook and watch the films), you will easily have over 100% in the class. Quizzes are extremely easy if you have done the work prior. She also gives extra credit when its hers or her familys birthday.
I really enjoyed this class in terms of information and material, it was a little disappointing because it was supposed to be in person and got moved to online. I would say if you are going to take this class take it in person because keeping up with not only the lectures but also the movies was pretty difficult by yourself at home.
I love Professor J. She is super sweet and as long as you read her textbook and watch the movies for the quizzes and discussions, you'll get an A in the class. She also gives free extra credit.
easy and interesting. Giving 3 stars because she makes you buy HER textbook. It's expensive and might as well be a collection of poorly written blogs where she tells you how good she thinks the movies in them are and provides some history. Not worth what she charges. Also gave me a snarky comment about two minor typos on hw i got 100% on...?
It was a good online class to take during the summer, the quizzes were based on the textbook readings which was accessible online. The final was also a cumulation of things reviewed in the reading. The textbook was fun as it was made by the teacher in a way that makes it easy to read. Teacher has a good online presence and cares about the subject.
SUPER CHILL CLASS. You are assigned a reading, quiz and a movie. A couple of times you are also assigned with an easy discussion post. Movies are pretty interesting. Don't get me wrong some were boring TO ME but overall such a chill and easy A.
I enjoyed this class. The tasks are simple; you watch a movie, complete the modules, and read a short chapter on different genres of film each week + take a small quiz on it after. Prof. Brady-Jenner provides study guides for both the midterm and final, and there is nothing on either of those tests that isn't covered in the reading. She's great! :)
This class is a breeze. All you need to do is watch movies every week. However, you'll need to shell out $70.00 for her book and syllabus, which feels a bit unnecessary since she covers everything in class anyway. Just a heads up, there's no making up for late work, so keep on top of things.
An easy and engaging class. Prof. Brady-Jenner's textbook is pricey but a helpful resource. Quizlet and unstuckstudy AI made studying a breeze. Attend classes for extra credit!
Professor Jenner is super knowledgeable on the topic of Film and TV. The online textbook we used in this course was easy to understand, and she includes a lot of her own experiences in the industry to exemplify what we learn. I took it asynchronously and had a lot of fun.
