The final exam will emphasize material covered since the midterm, but will build on material previously covered. Occasionally, I will ask students to spend a few minutes during class or outside of class writing. Assignments may be based on assigned readings or students' personal experiences. Sometimes inclass writing assignments will not be turned in but used as a basis for discussion in lecture. Over the semester, you will be required to watch one political film and write a brief analysis.
Analyses are due at the beginning of each new section.
Choose among a list of films identified by the instructor. In your analysis, you must identify issues addressed in the film which relate to current politics and discuss how that particular film helps us better understand what we are studying in class. E-mail me by 5pm on May 15 to let me know which film you'd like. Give me a first and second choice. I'll assign you a film if I don't hear from you.
