Description
The Proposal Deadline is no later than Monday, Nov 27. Any proposal received afterwards will be penalized 3 points; any paper handed in without an approved proposal, or a radically altered proposal will be penalized an additional 4 points (that is out of the 55).A hard copy of the proposal should be delivered in class — topic/films used revisions (without penalty), either requested by the Prof or made by the student should be handed in no later than the following class, Nov 29th.Term papers will be 8-10 pages; refer to the instructions for the mid-term re other format details. Term papers should engage one to three films; other than overworked classics/popular films (subject to the discretion of the Prof). Additionally, there is a ban on focusing upon films discussed/featured in class.Proposals should be in the form of a single paragraph that spells out your primary claim and methodological approach. Obviously, it must be linked to theory. You will then list the title/titles you plan to analyze. For some more obscure films that I may not have seen, you should be able to include (upon request) links that would enable me to stream said film(s).
