SCHEDULE

Grades are based on demonstrated understanding and application of the ideas and principles presented in the readings and in class. The vehicles for this demonstration include class participation, the course project, and the final presentation.

The course project involves choosing a decade of the 20th century and discussing the impact of film during that decade, identifying significant developments, and examining their implications for culture and society. The papers will examine specific films in terms of the artistic, technological, social, and business aspects of the medium. The research will be organized for submission to the instructor in a series of short papers and presentation to the class in a Powerpoint presentation. Work must be in digital form and must conform to accepted conventions of spelling, grammar, and usage.

Late work will not be accepted without a physician's statement.

More than three absences will require a discussion about your ability to complete the course.
