During the semester I am prepared to meet individually (by appointment) with any and all students enrolled in this course.

Reading assignments are expected to be completed by reading materials posted on the course website related to the film to be viewed and discussed for the week.

Written Classwork is your completion of question sheets as part of your preparation for class discussion.
Discussion is your oral portion of class participation.
Film Evaluations are homework assignments. You can submit them either in class or by email.
