Assessment methods and criteria

This course will consist of a weekly lecture and discussion (about half and half), with assigned readings and films. Films will be available on the class Google Drive, dafilm.cz, or other online sources; readings are available online through a similar variety of online sources. Students will be expected to answer questions and discuss these when asked in class. There will be one midterm essay, which can be either a 5-6 page analysis of a film, or a short practical (5= minute) application of the methods outlined by various theoreticians we will be studying. The final exam for this class will be an oral exam, similar in structure to the state exams. Students will select a question and have 15 minutes (maximum) to answer it and any follow up questions.
