Comments

This subject is basically my dream breadth. It is primarily about the history of Hollywood and its major trends since the 1950s to today. Additionally, it is fantastically taught and very well organised.

Usually I don't give a very detailed review of the course material as it is generally covered by the handbook, but the handbook for H&E is fairly barren so I'll give a week-by-week rundown:
Lectopia Enabled

Lecturer(s)

Past Exams Available
N/A (no exam)
Rating
5 out of 5
Textbook Recommendation
Just a book of readings. They're all posted online, but for ~$15 the book is worth it.
