This class was so awesome. Twice a week just sit in a theater class and watch horror movies. It was kind of boring listening to her go into depth about the movies but theres no quizzes or exams so you don’t have to listen. Theres like 5 short essay questions that she sends out after the class that you have to answer about the movie. It’s really easy and if you do a good job shell even give you a 6/5. The only complaint about that class is I guess I got screwed because my final paper was so strange. The topic was to create a genre of horror film that has never been created. Im pretty sure everything that can be done has been done so I came up with some dumb ass genre and she didn’t like it. But once I explained what happened she bumped my grade from a B+ to A-, probably just to get me to shut up but I couldn’t take a B in a movie class it just seemed stupid. Great class otherwise and shes a really nice lady.

Amazing class! Learned so much about the Horror genre. Class is really easy (and I took the accelerated one). You watch a subgenre horror film (she'll give an indepth explanation of the subgenre beforehand that is not only interesting but also so helpful). She emails out 5 short-answer response questions that are due next class. And there is only one paper due and it's 4-page double spaced on a topic of your own choice. This was a GREAT class- I highly recommend this class to anyone who is looking to learn indepth about film and not be overflooded with nonsense busywork.

Pros: Great personality, really nice and genuinely cares about students
Cons: The end assignment wasn't planned that well -- depending on FMVD freshmen to be masters of the equipment isn't necessarily the best laid plan, since they're usually so unfamiliar with it themselves.
This was for the "Understanding the Short Film" course -- I was extremely lucky to be taking this for HNRS 200!

I have had class with Karin before, and each time I have has been a great experience. She will go above and beyond for her students and is extremely kind. The workload for this class was light, but it involved thought and planning beforehand. I learned a lot about directing in this class and her positive attitude and good feedback encouraged me so much. Karin's the best!

Karin is delightful. She is such a supportive and encouraging person that you can't help but like her. She taught a lot of interesting techniques for directing actors, but the point is not to use them all the time; it's just to show a variety of techniques that may work for you. Assignments require thought, but are by no means extremely demanding. Would take class with her again in a heartbeat.

Very knowledgable and just a positive, delightful person in general. Couldn't think of a better person to have class with first thing on a Monday morning!
