Blog Notes and Quiz Note

Blog Notes

Ok, so because Ive been getting some questions, and seeing some evidence that some people aren't quite on board, here is how the blog works:

- Please please, when you post, use your FULL NAME. I'm not looking up peoples last names. If you've been posting with just your first name then come up and see me during the break or after class.

- YOUR Blog is due on the day that the syllabus and the sidebar on the blog says that it is due, not the week after. I've started labeling the posts with who should respond, just in case it gets confusing, because sometimes we're watching a movie over two classes.

- I will post 2 discussion topics for films that take us two weeks to watch. One for the first week and one for the 2nd. Just because we haven't finished a film doesn't mean there's no assignment.

- Please make sure you are posting for the correct discussion topic. I have been letting this slide, especially because it has taken me until Thursdays sometimes to get topics up. From now on, if you post on the wrong topic, you will not be getting credit for that post. If a discussion topic is not up yet, then check back.

- Please respond to the discussion topics as they are posted. Do not give give me plot synopsis of the film. I've seen it.

- NO LATE POSTS: Your blog post is due BEFORE the next class, not after on the same day and not (for God's Sake) during. Your posts have a time and date stamp on them. I will not be giving credit for late posts.

- If you are not in class on a day that we screen a particular film you are responsible for posting about, it is YOUR responsibility to either rent the film, if this is possible, or watch it in the library at The Rosen Campus. On weeks where we do not finish a film, like this week with Psycho and with 2001, the films will not be on reserve until we have finished watching the entire thing.

Ok, I don't think these requirements should be that tough on you guys.

Quiz Note
Remember if you don't like the score you've received on a quiz, you have the option of doing a final paper at the end of the semester (an assignment TBD, that will be handed out in mid-late November) to replace the grade.


If there are any questions about any of this, please feel free to email me.
