Hilary is an amazing professor. Easy to talk to, and relays her knowledge of film (which she has a lot of) in a very understandable and fun way. One of the best professors I've had at UVM.

This course requires a lot of time and effort, but the professor made the material really interesting. Get ready to watch a ton of old movies, take notes on them, and do a couple quizzes/exams which are all open-ended. Assignments were graded fairly, however, and I got a better grade than I initially expected. I would take this professor again!

Hilary is amazing, knows what she's talking about, and cares about what her students have to say. Her assignments aren't just busywork, and are always valuable, as well as discussions. Has guest lecturers that are always interesting, she's engaging, kind, and funny. Love taking film classes with her. Makes psychoanalysis not so hard.

Hilary is one of the kindest, funniest, most engaging, professors I've had. Film theory and some of the philosophies we've read about are very densely packed and difficult to understand, but she works really hard to make sure the concepts flow with you. She wants you to know the material, and she makes learning it enjoyable! Readings are long tho!

Comment:
Really great online course. I was very hesitant about taking this course at first (have to buy some of the films). But I really enjoyed it. It's no easy A, but it definitely is manageable. I didn't realize how much I enjoyed film until I took this course. Hopefully I can take her next Spring before I graduate!

Clear lecturer and really fun to listen to. Would prefer the exams have more theoretical questions and stuff not based on memorization. Spends too much time on group projects. Definitely the FTS dept's gem!

LOVE HER. She is so fantastic seriously. Her lectures were amazing, she brought in famous directors and producers as guest lecturers and was so so so kind to the students. Her tests were submissively easy, and the films were great. HIGHLY RECOMMEND ANY CLASS W HER.

She is awesome! Her FTS 010 class is a real GPA booster! She also posts all the questions that are going to be on the exams online! You do start to feel bad for her because she makes all of these jokes, and then she ends up being the only one to laugh at them, with all of the students just staring blankly at her.

This course was hard and the films were terrible, but that was probably because of the era the class was covering. I feel asleep in almost every screening. The exams were hard and the readings were long. However, she is very enthusiastic about the material and is always available for extra help.

I loved film studies before this class but now I'm changing my major. She assigns too many long and random readings that are either redundant or never discussed in class. You don't need to come to class because she doesn't take attendance. Professor Nilsen taught FTS 007 much better. Despite all of this the class is an easy A.

Awesome Prof. top 2 or 3 at UVM in my opinion. Her class is always engaging and she is very kind and understanding, however you must do the reading to be part of the class. random quizzes and attendance.

So feminism is cool and all, but Neroni seems to think that it is the only concept that influenced film. Ever. Kind of a crappy and misfocused class and professor.

She wants everyone to do well, but you have to so your share. There is a lot of dry reading that you have to do to get a good grade. Pop-quizzes make attendance important but class goes by fast and she is really nice.
