Schedule of Units
and Assignments
All assignments and readings should be
completed before the beginning of class on the day indicated. “Completing” a
reading includes preparing the relevant discussion questions.
Discussion questions for films and
readings (identified as Q01, Q02, etc.) will be provided as handouts. You
should review them before watching a film or doing a reading, and come to
class with ideas prepared for a response.
Timely completion of assignments will be
one of the criteria for grading.
Schedule and assignments are subject to
