This is by far the most interesting and engaging class I have taken at UVA. Professor Shutt truly cares about the well being of her students, although the material can be hard to watch at times (lots of very emotional films). Make sure that you participate in class discussions and prepare for the daily quizzes, and you should be fine. Professor Shutt offers a lot of help if you go to office hours -- and she is just a great person to talk to in general.

This is an awesome class! Professor Shutt is incredible and really presents a full spectrum of issues and opinions in her class. It's a really fun class. Attendance is mandatory, enforced by daily quiz, but you'll want to go to class!
