Each Wednesday students will hand in an analytic review that connects the film to the readings and lectures. Reviews are no less than two pages, double-spaced. The review is not a summary, but an examination and distillation of key themes throughout the readings, lectures, and films. Good reviews examine the assumptions and implications of the films compared/contrasted to the readings and lectures. In addition, as the semester progresses, reviews should read across the texts and lectures. Students should aim to be very specific and cite all passages and concepts. Ideally, students will also draw from the previous Friday’s class discussion of the week’s film.
