INTERESTED STUDENTS.  Read through the Film 101-CyberCinema Preview, which includes links to the syllabus and the proposed semester schedule of assignments, to make sure this is the class for you.  Get thoroughly familiar with all the links on the MiraCosta College Distance Education page.  If you are interested, register at MiraCosta College; do this early in the registration period, because the film classes fill fast.  Please make sure that SURF has your correct email address.

ENROLLED STUDENTS. Read the Film 101-CyberCinema Preview, and get started.  Buy your textbooks now: Louis Giannetti's Understanding Movies,11th edition.  We start right off with Chapter One.  If you are aiming to earn an "A" or a "B" in the class, be sure to purchase another textbook for a special project: Tidepools - Peace, available via the college bookstore (only about $10). For this class, plan for weekly readings from Giannetti and from online lectures, weekly screening of films, weekly quizzes, and weekly discussions and activities.  You can borrow your films from libraries, rent them from video merchants (many students like to use online lenders like Netflix), or buy them from any number of sources. Plan to come to our class 2-3 times/week.  We will be using a course management system called Moodle, so be sure you have Firefox browser (Internet Explorer won't work properly in Moodle).
