Is history of animation and easy class, hard class, or an in between class? Watkins is teaching it.

Meets twice a week for 2h45m and it's all animation, all the time: cartoons, movies, propaganda, 2d, 3d, stop-motion, traditional, avante garde, etc. There are tests, assignments, projects, etc.

I'm not going to rate it as easy/hard, but it is a fun class if animation is your thing. ;)
