a weirdly and unnecessarily doctrinaire class. lost credit for minor technical reasons despite sitting through 10+ hours of movies. not 100% certain the professor was ever there

Comment:
I mostly enjoyed this class, the paper prompts are general and the length requirement isn't terrible. Make sure you go to class! Midterm was crazy hard, and the class had a final paper (1000 words) and a final exam. The final paper is 20%, exam 30%. I don't appreciate that the last two assignments of the semester comprise 50% of my overall grade.

Comment:
Easy class, however she is nearly-impossible to get in contact with. She seems to reply to emails only when she feels like it, which is very inconsistent. You will be marked absent if you leave 30 seconds early. Not a professor that you want to deal with if the circumstance arises.

Really fair and honest. Great guidance with research and writing, excellent movies. Very knowledgable! Makes material interesting and really cares about student ideas. Provides lots of help and encouragement. If you don't come to class or participate or procrastinate, it will be extra tough, though.

Comment:
I am shocked everyone seems to be grading Professor Ciecko so well. I took Asian Pop Cinema and it was PAINFUL. She would jump from one subject to another, one country to another, and most of us had no idea what we were supposed to have learned. I needed an extension on my final portfolio and I asked a week in advance, she did not respond at all.

Good meaningful class. The professor cares deeply for art and community and really helped students to learn and get involved. There were lots of opportunities to develop skills and apply concepts individually and in group projects which were fun too.

I think Anne has a true passion for film and is a great scholar. I believe she could be a great film-maker in her own right if she chose to. I also think she is gorgeous!

Comment:
She does not understand the responsibilities of her profession. She brought up little useful information and instead showed us personal pet projects. Does not tolerate dissent or discussion in a social science course. Useless and very very childish. Not worth your tuition.

I've taken 3 classes with Anne. I liked her at first, but as time passed I found myself dreading her classes. She is disorganized, despite what others say. She childishly ignores her emails. She will never ever ever let you know what sort of grade you have until the end of the semester. She's a one trick pony when it comes to subject matter. Avoid.
