Comment:

Horrendous professor. Canceled over 50% of classes because she was "sick" and e-mailed unnecessary assignments with arbitrary guidelines to try and make it look like she was doing her job. Learned almost nothing over the entire semester and could have taken the class online. Easy class with very strange paper grading but Bogel should be fired.

Great, great, professor. She clearly loves what she does and wants to share it with you. Easygoing about deadlines and such, very understanding. Definitely a worthwhile class, especially if you have to take a FWS.

Best FWS ever. Very nice lady, has free, fun, and insightful discussions about the interesting films she picks out. Short papers (2-3 pages) about each of the 6~7 movies watched, no long papers. Pretty easy and interesting class.

Comment:

Amazing professor. I have never met someone with such interest in her field as well as interest in helping students understand her world of film. Didn't require any reading, watched great films, cancelled class a lot, and was very flexible with due dates. Best professor thus far.

Bogel is just cool; she cancels class all the time. I heard all the other FWS profs sucked, so take Bogel. She's easy, fun, and CANCELS class often.

Cancels ALL the time. But the time spent not in class is made up by the time the movie screenings take up. The class is great, but she's such a strict grader!!

Comment:

Very good discussion in class, but cancels many classes. Enjoyable at first, but when you start getting poor grades for leaving out material that was never covered (because no classes were held) it gets annoying and unfair. Fickle on grading.

Intelligent and interested in the material. Stretches meanings in the movies. The semester I had her she cancelled 25% of classes for some unknown reason. She's okay, but the writing seminar was good.

Hitchcock class is great. Sometimes Prof. Bogel seems a bit unorganized, but she is extremely intelligent and makes the class interesting and fun.

She seems to have two personalities...one is the warm, easy going person you experience in class...the other is a very harsh grader that you only experience via email as all the assignments are done this way...

Comment:

Though I really liked watching all the cool films, I'm not a fan of the course. Writing about movies, or even writing about literature/fiction, seems pointless to me. You often have to find meaning where there is none.Movies/books are meant to be enjoyed.
