One paper will take a critical look at the technique and structural devices employed in one or more of the films. The instructor will supply additional direction on the papers within the context of the course. Participation in class discussion is an important element of this course and will be weighed by the instructor in evaluating student performance. Film offerings are tentative, and an occasional substitution may occur. Student participation in discussion is not optional.
Chronic absenteeism is a prescription for certain failure in the course.
