    - yup. I was a freshman - znufrii Sep 14, 13:23
- I'd say (a) I don't have a problem with it, per se, but (b) that the syllabus was given 2 weeks into the class is what makes it bad. - JaxSean Sep 14, 13:20
- The ratings make it pretty clear cut. - Dr.Vermin Sep 14, 13:13 14

        doesn't change the appropriateness but most reading is done out of class, why not watching films too? -- nm - zork Sep 14, 13:35 3
        
        because the class is about watching films? - Reagen Sep 14, 13:41 2
        
        literature classes about books don't usually end up being people sitting around and reading. -- nm - zork Sep 14, 13:46 1
        
        Most of the ones I was in had a fair bit of it. Plus film is a different medium than writing. -- nm - Reagen Sep 14, 13:49
