Readings are due before the film is screened on Thursdays. You should use the readings to better understand and evaluate the films and your knowledge of the readings should be evident in your weekly posts. There will be periodic comprehension quizzes over the readings and some people might be asked to give presentations on the readings to insure they’re being done.
