Overall this course was mediocre but was a very very easy A. The content was super interesting the first couple months with Dark but then leveled off pretty quickly after that. The professor took suggestions on what to watch or read in terms of series for the next class discussion which was cool. It was a very relaxed and laid back course which I appreciated my last semester at UVA. However, I felt like the three hour class was way too long and could have been cut to one hour. A lot of it was full of lecture, content discussion that wasn't eye-opening or advancing my knowledge of the world. Professor Schmid is a really cool and passionate guy, but, it was hard for most of us to stay interested in the long class. I don't blame him, just how the class is set up.
