Comment:

This is only the 2nd time prof parks taught the social media seminar, but it was really good. Informative and a really important to take if your emphasis is on media, we had almost too much fun discussing social media. Expect to present on a reading, 1-2 guest lecturers, a take home midterm, and a group project at the end (w/a pizza if youre good!)

FILM 96 This class was HARD. I gave up my social life many times to fulfill the reqs of this class. Expect stress for the papers, and having to change your writing methods in order to earn your grade. If you miss lecture, you're screwed. Good luck.

Comment:

This class was so difficult. Parks was a good teacher, but a lot of what she said in lecture was just spouting information that was semi-relevant to the papers that made up 100% of our grade. This class did not teach me how to write a good paper. This class taught me how to write a paper that a TA/professor would like. Big difference. Disappointed.

Comment:

Film 113SC. The class was on satellite culture. It was actually interesting to learn about. All lectures were pretty short, there is no discussion, and no screenings. Overall I enjoyed the class and would recommend it. The mid-term and final are both take-home and require knowledge of the readings. Buy the books!

Comment:

This was a great class with a very knowledgeable professor. Should definitly take this class, especially because you learn about a topic (TV) that we normally do not cover in this department. Also, I dont know if its only me, but she has to be one of the best looking professors you will have. She is real hot.

Probably one of the hardest classes just based on the fast pace but Lisa knew her stuff and I learned a ton, which has still helped.

Brilliant, engaging lectures. Clear assignments. Fair grades. Tough enough to earn my respect but not so tough I'm gonna complain. And yes, she's absolutely... one of the sweetest, most helpful professors you could ever hope to have. I don't think I was the only student who had a crush on her (but how could you not respect such a great teacher?)

INteresting, you have to do your work, but because she is interesting, it makes the class more interesting. The reading load was big, but not too bad to read.

Comment:

Not a film major so sometimes the class went in directions that were unclear, she does a good job of filling the other majors in on the important stuff to get by in the class, she explains things well but packs a lot into each lecture

Comment:

The course is a bit intense (being a 101), but probably the mot fun 101 you'll take. Professor Parks keeps the lectures interesting (and well organized) and the viewings are really fun to watch (w/ old commercials!).
