Title--Assignment Options

Students may submit up to three assignments from the following list.  While you may complete a maximum of two essays or critiques, you may do only one profile, presentation, or role-play.   Due dates for written assignment options are noted on the course schedule; you may select from among these due dates if you complete fewer than three written assignments.  However, you may submit only one written assignment per due date.  Presentations and role-plays will occur throughout the quarter, with scripts, write-ups, and memos due the Monday following the group’s presentation or performance.

During the first week of class, interested students will sign up for presentations and role-plays.  Once I have assigned groups, students may not drop the activity, except in cases of documented illness or family emergency.  Those who do will receive a zero for the assignment and will not be allowed to make up the points with another assignment option.

Because several of the assignments require research or allow for use of multimedia, I will conduct optional workshops on cinema studies research and PowerPoint.  I will also respond to drafts of profiles, essays, memos, critiques, and role-play scripts, provided students submit materials one week in advance of the due date.  I am also available to discuss ideas-in-progress with individuals or groups.
