We will read the entire text carefully, including the Introduction and Epilogue. As author June Sochen writes in the Introduction, Nothing replaces the viewing of a movie, the watching of a television series, or the listening to a song. In addition to viewing and reading, students are expected to form opinions about the content of the women performers studied and the author's views about the performances of the various women entertainers within the context of their times. Short in-class writing assignments will be opportunities to express these comments. Any student-written multiple choice question used on an exam will earn the student one extra credit point.
Students have three opportunities to do so.
