Assignments for the Next Meeting

A. Assignment for the next meeting (June 27 and June 29, 2013)

Read the following articles:

                 Movie Theater Etiquette

                 The Basic Visual Units of Film


B. On the assigned Film Review: 

Submit your reviews of the films we watched two days before our next class to jseliab@addu.edu.ph using the following requirements:

(1) It must be a one (1) page Film Review. You can follow this format as guide: http://eliab.tripod.com/film/papers.html. However, you can make your own review provided that you organize your essay to include "Elements of Film."

(2) Use font size 12, Times Roman or Bookman Antiqua.

(3) If submitted as a document, please convert it to PDF (portable document format). If you do not have a facility to convert your .doc or .docx file into a PDF, see here: http://www.freepdfconvert.com/

(4) The paper should contain your name, time and day of class, and of course, your astute review.

(5) Use the following information in your email heading:

TO: jseliab@addu.edu.ph
FROM: [youremail]@addu.edu.ph [use your official ADDU e-mail address]
SUBJECT: Hum3/ [Day of Class] [Time of Class]/ [Title of Movie]

See Sample Heading with a PDF attachment:

My mail system is using filters. If you send your reviews using a non-ADDU account, the probability of me not receiving them will be 99% since they usually go to "Junk Mail" folder or get deleted by the system. Second, the ADDU mail system sanitizes all incoming emails from viruses and other malwares. So, if you and I are using our official University e-mail addresses, we minimize the probability of infecting each other's computers. Third, the "Subject" heading is important because it redirects your email to a proper folder that keeps the reviews so I can read them when I have time on the fly.

Now, there are others who do not have computers and printers, I accept typewritten Film Reviews. If you have a functioning typewriter, use it! Just submit the paper two days before the class. I seldom accept handwritten papers since I have a hard time deciphering words, especially those creative strokes that only the writer can read and understand. So, unless prior approval is sought, do not hand over handwritten film reviews.

For those who were absent during the first day of class, please read this: http://hum3.blogspot.com/2013/06/introductory-notes-for-first-semester.html. I expect those who are late or absent in class to be responsible to know what happened in the class when they are not around. Absence or tardiness is not an excuse to renege adult learner responsibility.

If you have other queries, just email me.
