Religious Studies
Okay, so I've been choosing my courses lately. I found three really cool religious studies courses. In each of the courses, you watch movies every week. Since I'm gonna be super busy next year I think it'd be nice to mellow out in a lecture and watch a movie. Now, I've never taken any of these courses so I need some advice.
What do you think of Rel Stud 2N03, 2WW3 and 2YY3? I know I'm gonna have to write papers and all but do you think it's a trap to lure you into the course and then fail you?
Thoughts?

Course names!
One of my old housemates was in Religious Studies, so I heard the good, the bad and the ugly about most of them...

I've heard Death and Dying is a good course but I did not hear good things about the bible and film course. That's just second hand, I've never taken any of those courses personally

I didn't like 2WW3. However, Dr. Ross was an exceptional prof. I had her for death and dying and i'm taking death and dying eastern now with her she's amazing. Courses heavily depend on the professor I find. Sometimes the content isn't enough. However, in this case, I just didn't like the content. It had a lot to do with espiritismo and non-western culture.
