COMD 1340 OL 90 Photography 1 Spring 2022
This is a beginning course that explores the technical and aesthetic concerns of photography. Through the fundamental concepts of light, exposure, and composition, students will develop the ability to control photographic style to create visually engaging images
ENG 2400 Film from Literature, Fall 2022, Prof. Scanlan
ENG 2400 is a course that allows students to examine the relationship between films and their literary sources. Through online classroom discussion and out-of-class assignments, students will analyze classic and contemporary literary texts and their cinematic versions. Students will explore the techniques used in fiction, drama, and film with an emphasis on concepts such as narration, ethics, redemption, and identity. Students will focus on the similarities and differences of literary works adapted into films.
This course will focus on essential critical thinking, reading, and writing abilities that you will come to use in this class, in all of your other classes, and beyond, in the professionalized working world. The point, and my role, is not to tell you what exactly to write, not even necessarily how to write, but to offer a structured forum in which you can learn the underlying, practical procedures used to approach any writing or reading situation. We will call these differing textual situations ārhetorical situationsā and we will call this process of teaching methods (rather than information) ātransferā. Through engaging different rhetorical situations, we will begin to consider who is speaking, who they are speaking to/for, and why theyāre even speaking at all! Through personal exploration, rhetorical analysis, and research, we will also look at the varying social contexts in which some kind of specific meaning is exchanged. The class will involve assignments engaging with a wide range of media and how these media express the world we inhabit. While the goals of this course are communal, oneās journey through writing is intensely personal, and with that in mind, we will foster an environment in which our unique voices, styles, and dispositions can be heard and critiqued as we engage important social, cultural, and existential realities. And finally, we are here, myself included, to grow as thinkers and writers.
