Prof Williamson is great. She is a caring and kind person, you can tell just by the way that she teaches. BCA 350 has been one of my fav courses at CMU. It is exactly what I was looking for. If you like film history and are interested in women's impact in film, take this class! I have loved it.

The Honors cinema seminar was possibly the best class I will ever take. The class consisted of talking about the history of censorship in film, watching some films that related to that, and discussing the films. The energy in the class was a lot of fun and we all enjoyed the films/discussions. The final project was really fun and creative! Awesome!

Comment:
Patty is so nice and quirky but to be honest the class itself was just very boring to me. She can go off on tangents sometimes & she has a habit of talking AT you during her lectures. Make sure to study for the exams and go to class and you should be fine.

HON202WI is the most amazing class I have ever taken. Patty is so passionate about the material and cares so immensely for all of her students that it is hard not to do well in her class. She is kind and funny and a fair grader. Highly recommend!

Comment:
I took Patty for a film class, and all we did was watch movies, and later have a discussion. The class was mostly hard because she is a very tough grader and we only turned in minimal assignments. Besides that, she's an enjoyable professor and understands that we're college students and we have lives too, so she doesn't mind if you skip.

Patty was one of my favorite professors last semester, and had one of the most interesting courses I have ever taken. I took this class for the UP and didn't expect much from it. However, I found myself learning more week after week, even in the three hour class frame.

Comment:
I didn't understand her communication style. When students answered correctly to her questions, she would correct them with the same exact information. It was very uncomfortable . I didn't like the way she taught the electronic media criticism class. She used irrelevant material to teach critical appraisal of mass communications systems.

Patty was an amazing professor for my first year honors seminar. I am normally not an artistic person, but she made me enjoy and appreciate cinema. You can tell she loves her students and loves what she's teaching. Attend and participate and class and put effort into the papers and the class will be very enjoyable.

I had Patty for the Honors Cinema Censorship seminar, and she was absolutely fantastic. It is easy to see that she really loves what she 's teaching and cares about her students. We all had a blast while learning a lot. I can honestly say that it was my favorite class of the semester, and I will be doing everything I can to have her again.

Patty's 527 class is a fantastic opportunity for anyone interested in film. Class is well paced with lecture and discussion followed by film viewing. She incorporates power point incredibly well in her lectures. Attendance is important for understanding tests and quizzes, which are clear cut and short. I had a great time in her class!

Patty is awesome. Uses ppts for her lectures and shows the film. Usually likes to discuss the class' thoughts on it as well. 5 quizzes in class - you miss them, oh well. They are SO easy too. 1 major essay which is 30% of your grade and 2 tests. Almost always available to help as well. Have had 2 classes with her, and I'd take her again if I could!

I loved this class. Honestly thought it was much easier than 311. There are only for grades: midterm, final, and two big projects (radio and TV promotional campaigns) so not much room for error. Patty is really helpful and teaches you everything you need to know about promotions. She is a fair grader though I was able to get an A-

Very strict. Tough Grader. When you write papers, write to her style and her style only. She doesn't care about how you like to write, her way or you get a low grade. She needs to open up more about how each person learns and writes. Is a smart prof. but, needs to get on students level.

Very nice and helpful, but she's also very tough and isn't a push over. Tip for the papers and tests: be very detailed and don't leave out anything.

A PT Anderson film course; She has a laid back demeanor yet has strict guidelines you have to follow. Adult subject matter was handled in a humorous and mature fashion. Learned a lot about a director's life and style I knew little about. Looking very forward to the Lynch films class with her next semester.

nice lady, I just didn't like her style. Was laid back most semester and then gave us a crazy hard final. I don't have a problem with tough classes, but I prefer consistency. Had her twice, same both times.
