Thomas Moran
CHNS
This course is reading and writing heavy, but over all I had an enjoyable experience. We were assigned to watch movies independently before each class, followed by in-class discussion sessions. This course exposed me to a variety of Chinese films, and it was manageable even if you are not familiar with the Chinese language.
It is a great course that provides a comprehensive learning experience of pan-Chinese literature and provides students with an invaluable chance to get into the literature of minorities that is not that popular.
I think Moran is a great professor and was very passionate about the material. You def watch a lot of movies, 2 per a week and some were kinda boring but most were really good. This was all discussion based and on the whole discussion was pretty good, again Moran is very knowledgable, but it would be frustrating when it was obvious a lot of the class hadn't watched a movie. Workload was honestly pretty light for non-CW students, it was 2 papers, weekly discussion posts and a presentation. Moran is a very fair grader.
