Some films for the course are required viewing, but will not be shown in class. We will arrange to gather for group screenings in the afternoon or evening, and also make video cassettes available in the library to accommodate student schedules. On days when a film is required to be viewed outside of class, the library group viewing room is booked for 8 p.m. Also, several films of interest to the course are optional, and available for viewing. All of those will be on reserve. Course format consists of short lectures, small group discussions, structured group discussions and presentations of student work.
