I don't hate her or anything but if you have had any courses that deal with French cinema: silent, pre-war, new wave, pulp, 80's, etc., nothing new here. I transferred

Comment:

Kelly is passionate and a wonderful person. Her content in 313 felt short-winded for an hour and fifteen minute lecture. I enjoyed her picks for screenings, but found Thursday's discussions of the films to be wasteful. You won't be disappointed, but you won't be blown away.

I adore Professor Conway. I took this course and Global Art Cinema with her and she is SO knowledgable, presenting the information in a way that clearly shows her love of the field. I cannot recommend this professor highly enough--wish I could take even more courses with her!

Amazing Professor! Inspirational, really changed how I think about film. People may not agree with me, but I would never be the same without taking this class. I would say that is was the best part of the week, except for college football games.

Comment:

Kelley is an incredible professor. She's clearly very passionate for film, she's an eloquent speaker, and she uses many examples, which all make for great lectures. The assignments are difficult, especially the shot breakdown, but she and the TA's are very helpful. The tests are pretty easy if you don't miss lecture and take good notes. Loved 350.

Horrible Class. The content is such nonsense. This class is graded definitively (via multiple choice exams) for completely subjective, debatable nonsense. Good luck.

Comment:

I really enjoyed French Film but I can totally see that a lot of people could hate it. There are a TON of reading assignments, and many of them are extremely dry. That said, her lectures are so energetic and informative. She has so many great stories and so much enthusiasm for the topic. She's also incredibly kind and funny. Much respect.

I love learning about the French New Wave! 350 grading depends 100% on your TA. The lectures are great - I especially enjoyed hearing about Dr. Conway's experiences in Belgium, France, etc.

European Art Cinema: Great class, learned a lot. Prof Conway is open and accepting - participate in discussion and act your age...she will like you. I really appreciated the respect she has for her class. Knows a lot about film, speaks fluent French which is pretty cool. Also had 350 with her - she rocks. Real easy grader too.

Comment:

Super sweet lady who is extremely well spoken and passionate about film. Some of the films she chose for screenings were a little boring, but other than that I was always interersted. The papers are harder than the tests, but both are manageable if you attend lecture and ask for help if you need it. I recommend kelly!

Comment:

Excellent teacher, she provides a hard copy outline at the start of lecture which is very helpful. Explains everything very well and uses lots of example clips. She talks very quietly though and you can't hear her if she doesn't use a microphone.

Comment:

Professor Conway is extremely smart and sweet. She is well spoken. It is a little difficult to take notes because she does not use power point, but she does hand out a lecture outline at the beginning of each class. If you go to class and do the readings, it is manageable.

Comment:

Prof Conway is a wonderful teacher. She loves film, and it makes the class really fun. She has a very comfortable style of teaching which is refreshing. She's kind of quirky and funny, but very nice. She always made sure the class wasn't too difficult. You can definitely get by without doing the readings, although they are helpful.
