URGENT: If I were to visit the school this week...

[Eiffel]

<p>Hi, all. I've already visited USC once (this summer...fell in love with the campus, by the way :)), but I really want to the school when it's in session; I particularly want to see the actual film and screenwriting classes to help me choose which I might rather major in. </p>

<p>Would I be able to actually go inside these classes and watch from a distance? If I am able to, where would I get the schedule of classes so I know what day I should visit and at what time?</p>

<p>Please reply as soon as possible; I'd really like to visit this week so I can have a firmer idea of what major I want to apply to. Thanks in advance! :D</p>

<p>I’m sure you’d have no trouble finding a seat in a lecture class. Some of the smaller ones might be more difficult. But I imagine the professors would be very accommodating and wouldn’t mind. Your best bet is for a sympathetic film student to offer to let you shadow them for a day or give you access to class schedules.</p>

<p>Go visit on a Wednesday night. Casper is the department head, he is teaching this class </p>

Spielberg — a cultural force who has affected our individual and collective consciousness, shaped the postmodern aesthetic, changed Hollywood’s way of wheeling and dealing and ushered in the high-tech style. This is his story, from the beginning (“Duel,” “Jaws”) to the present (“Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull”), One class session involves a Q & A with the master himself.

<p>From what I’ve heard, everybody and their brother are taking this class. :D</p>

<p>Try calling the SCA office and ask if there are classes you can attend. Casper is iconic at USC, so that ^^ is a great suggestion. It will perhaps be easy to find a film analysis (i.e. critical studies) class to attend, but production might be a bit trickier. Since the classes tend to be hands-on, they often are a few hours long and may be less welcoming to an observer. But it won’t hurt to ask.</p>

<p>Here is the USC 2009 Fall schedule of class web site:
[CTCS</a> | USC Schedule of Classes](<a href=“http://web-app.usc.edu/soc/20093/ctcs.html]CTCS”>302 Found)</p>

<p>It shows the schedule and location of the classes.</p>

<p>You should be able to find the building code from the following campus map.
