Thomas Moran
Absolute 10/10 course -- Thomas Moran is a great professor and all around super chill guy, and the course material is extremely interesting and captivating. Go to the optional weekly screenings for sure. Mostly discussion based classes. Workload is not intense at all; if you have trouble sitting down and watching two films every week I might not recommend it, but otherwise I consider it a must-take for anybody interested in documentary. There are some essays and a final project that can either be another essay or an original documentary film.

The BEST professor I've ever had in my life. Prof. Moran knows a lot about Chinese culture, history, and literature. You can learn a lot from him and his experience. Also his assignments are really "liberal" that you can express yourselves freely and he is willing to give you valuable support.
the films that this course revolved around allowed me to gain insight into various elements of chinese culture, and the behaviors of chinese society as manifested through film. as film is a very popular form of self expression, i was able to undertand more about chinese culture in different time periods.
