Roberto Lint Sagarena

Roberto is so awesome. I certainly recommend this course and any course with him. We had this class as a Wednesday night section, and so we would do a discussion or lecture for the first half of class and then a screening for the second half. The grade was 60% papers (you picked the weeks to write 4 reflection papers around 4 pages on the material from that week), 10% reading quizzes (kinda hard because there was 300 pages+ of reading each week), and 30% the final project which he ended up basically dropping. Definitely not a hard class to get an A- or A in, but very valuable material. Roberto is super funny and always making jokes in class. He is one of the most caring professors I have had, and it really makes a difference. Definitely recommend him and this class.

Prof. Roberto is a welcoming and intelligent professor. Although he has other responsibilities as Dean of faculty, he has been truly accommodating to his students and has made the time of the class be worth it. The readings are long but you have a week or two to finish them. They are great books as well!

I really enjoyed this course. The mix of movies and readings was super engaging and helped bring the material to life in a way that textbooks just can't. I learned a ton, especially in how different media can be used to explore complex themes. The professor was fantastic and super passionate and always willing to answer questions. The class discussions were also really interesting, and it felt like everyone’s thoughts were valued.
