Fantasy Films

End of Semester Survival Guide

Here are a few tasks and advice on the last few days of the course and its assignments.

• For the Film Viewing Journal you must post a brief self-evaluation of a forum topic created for this purpose. You do not need to read or reply to your classmates’ postings. Discuss the following criteria in your posting:
  1. completeness of your postings and replies,
  2. timely completion of the postings and replies, and
  3. quality of your analyses.

  Considering the three criteria above, give yourself a grade for your Film Viewing Journal. This self-evaluation is due by December 10.

• The final exam will have a similar structure as the midterm exam. You will be tested on your knowledge of the fantasy genre, as well as on the use of auteur and archetypal theories. The exam will have questions that expect you to show your knowledge of the films assigned for class and of the critical vocabulary from the first half of the course.
