The study groups will have an opportunity to meet initially during the regular class period. Each study group will be asked to choose a leader. The study group leaders will meet as a group with the instructor from time to time to discuss how the course is developing and how it could be improved. Pizza at the Movies Documentaries and movies that relate to the course in a serious or humorous manner will be shown during four informal early evening meetings, which will be held at times chosen to be as convenient as possible for the students enrolled in the course. Arrangements will be made for pizza to be delivered.
Attendance is optional.
Students with schedule conflicts can arrange to view the documentaries at another time. You will be asked to write and revise four short essays. The third and fourth essays will be two and three pages in length, respectively. Revision of all essays will be required homework. The first two essays will provide you with an opportunity to work on your writing skills at the paragraph level with guidance and detailed feedback from the instructional staff.
