Course Description
This first year seminar studies video as a medium, particularly as it is utilized by women, people of color, lesbians and gays, grassroots activists, as well as other peoples who are under and/or mis-represented by dominant media. This class explores independent video production from historical as well as issue-oriented approaches. The history of video technology, from analog to digital, is studied with a focus on developments that made video an accessible and powerful tool for self-expression and political intervention. Issues around gender, race, class, and sexual politics are examined in relation to works from the above-mentioned communities. Bodies of work by individual makers and collectives are presented as case studies in how multiple issues can be addressed through singular oeuvres.

This is a Writing Intensive Course
This course, if completed successfully, will fulfill Pitzer's Written Expression educational objective.  It is designed to help you - a first year student - develop a strong foundation in critical thinking (i.e., thinking in analytical ways about facts and ideas) and in writing within an academic discourse community comprising of faculty, fellow students, and an educated audience.  Practice in writing for an academic discourse community will prepare you for a wide range of writing, both in your other classes and beyond.  You will gain practice in academic argumentation (presenting a cogent and effective case for a position), as well as in creative expression.  You will develop and refine a set of intellectual tools that make effective college writing a smoother and easier task. All letter-graded assignments will receive written feedback from me. Please meet with me during my office hours at least twice during the semester to discuss your assignments, as well as visiting Pitzer's Writing Center outside of class meetings for help and feedback on your writing assignments.

The Pitzer Writing Center
The Writing Center is one of Pitzer’s most popular academic resources, holding more than 1,600 consultations last year. This fall, the center will offer comprehensive virtual support to students enrolled in Pitzer classes. This includes one-on-one video conferences with peer Fellows trained to work with writers on assignments across the disciplines and at any stage of the writing process, from brainstorming ideas to polishing a final draft. The Writing Center will also continue to host a range of online workshops and events, including regular “write-ins” that build community and foster resilience around the writing process. Specialized consultations are available for senior thesis, fellowship, and multilingual writers. In addition, a research librarian offers weekly consultations on all aspects of the research process.

Statement of Student Learning Outcome (SLO)
First-year seminar challenges students to achieve the following aspirations:

1. Engage in an ongoing process of intellectual inquiry and “conversation” through writing:
2. Grapple with the ambiguity and complexity found within texts, which range from the written word to film, art, performance, and beyond; respond to texts critically and thoughtfully.
3. Regard learning to write well as a life-long pursuit, not the accomplishment of a single semester or even an entire undergraduate career.
   1. Appreciate and experience the creativity, independent thinking, and intellectual risk-taking involved in effective academic writing.
   2. Craft thoughtful and insightful questions worthy of investigation; raise significant problems.
   3. Recognize and contend with alternative viewpoints/counter-arguments.
   4. Identify research/information needs.
   5. Locate appropriate scholarly and popular sources.
   6. Engage with, evaluate, and draw inferences from sources.
   7. Craft a clear, arguable, and compelling thesis.
4. Experience writing as a complex social interaction between writer and reader:
   1. Participate in an intellectual community of peers where writing and ideas are exchanged and critiqued.
   2. Rethink and deepen ideas through a recursive process of discussing, drafting, receiving and giving feedback, and revising at any and every point along the way.
   3. Gain awareness of audience and of voice.
5. Practice writing as a form of critical thinking, rather than merely the achievement of sentence-level correctness.
   

By the end of this course, students ideally are expected:

1. To acquire a sense of the history of video and basic knowledge of the social movements covered in class;
2. To be able to analyze different media forms, including video art, experimental and avant garde films, documentary, feature narrative films, advertisements, and television;
3. To be able to convey their ideas organized in a coherent and logical way in both critical written arguments and in oral presentations as well as discussion;
4. To be able to work and learn in both individual and group contexts.
   

Class Definition of Diversity
Written collectively by the Fall 2020 class at the beginning of the semester, and then revised at the end, this is designed as a living document that we will continue to reference, work with, edit and change as we further explore discussions on the subject of diversity.

Our class defines diversity as a set of contrasting perspectives and identities. Our class challenges “the frameworks of oppression” through learning and emphasizing equal representation. We strive to create an ideal collaborative community in which everyone has the ability to share their voice and listen to each other without judgment. Discussions in our classroom are designed to enrich our understanding of diverse and differing opinions. Our class will work towards understanding and sustaining an open classroom dynamic. We also acknowledge the value of diversity beyond our classroom and are committed to building diverse communities in all spaces and institutions we encounter.

Course Organization
All class and individual meetings will take place on Zoom (meeting ID: 773-331-5933) Class meetings will take place on Tuesdays and Thursdays 11:00am-12:15pm PST. Some accommodations can be made, within reason, for differing locations and time zones.

Normally, class activities include group discussion, online commentary (e.g. on Sakai forum), student presentations, video screenings, writing assignments, peer reviews on writing, and direct action (or proposals for the online class). There may also be virtual guest speakers as well as site visits depending on relevance to our class topic and level of interest. Your participation in class activities will factor into your final grade.

For Zoom classes as well as the use of Sakai and other online class sites, your computer with an internet connection and appropriate software, and sometimes perhaps your smart phone, is essential. As I do for my in-person classes, I ask students to agree to these conditions for class: no emails, texting, messaging, checking your social media accounts and other non-class related activities on your device. Additionally, please have your video camera on during classes, and your microphone muted unless you are speaking in class. Appropriate dress and conduct for class is expected.

Attendance
Attendance and participation of all classes is required. Do not miss class or arrive late! If you miss class 3 times without a proper excuse, (e.g. a doctor's note if you are sick) you fail the class. Absences must be cleared by me before or after (in case of emergencies only) the class you missed in order for it to not affect your final grade. Attendance is determined by when I take roll.

Class Participation
Your active, well-prepared participation in class discussions is essential to creating a dynamic (i.e. not boring!) learning environment. Although you will not receive a letter grade for class participation, it will figure into your final grade based on my observations.

We may study sexually explicit, political, and otherwise challenging material in this course. These are not included for shock value, but are legitimate investigations of controversial subject matters in media. You are certainly encouraged to explore difficult and complex subject matters in your work, and you should be prepared to consider these issues intellectually, emotionally, and with responsibility. Our class is a safe space in which students can express their beliefs and opinions within the context of the course material. You always have a voice, but please be respectful of others as well. Abusive language and behavior are not tolerated. Open-mindedness is encouraged!

Class Assignments & Exams

All writing assignments must be double-spaced, typewritten or word-processed. Use a 10 or 12-point font, 1-inch margins. As students and scholars, you are expected to learn the basics of academic writing, including appropriate style, source documentation, as well as other practices and styles. Reference to class readings are expected when the assignment specifies such requirements, as are citation of your sources. You are expected to make use of a standard citation format, such as the Chicago Manual or MLA-style, in documenting sources - see Diana Hacker, A Writer’s Reference, MLA Handbook (ebook available) or another style manual for specifics (OWL - Purdue University Online Writing Lab, recommended by the current Writing Center staff, is free and online.) All of these are available at the Huntley Bookstore for purchase, or at the Hannold Library for reference. Clarity of expression, accuracy, thoroughness, and neatness are among the criteria that will be evaluated. Proofread your writing assignments carefully!

Hand your work in on time. Unless an extension is approved by myself in advance of the due date, your grade will be reduced by one letter grade (i.e. B to C) per class day your paper is late. Excessive tardiness could lead to no credit (i.e. an "F") for the assignment.

Revisions are an integral part of academic and other forms of writing. You have the option to revise Essays 1 or 2 (choose one) based on the feedback you have received for a different grade. These revisions are due on Tuesday, November 24. Revisions are a part of the process for Essay 3. They are mandatory and are scheduled into the syllabus (due on Thursday, November 19, final draft due during Finals Week on Tuesday, December 1).

In this class, you are required to meet with me individually during my office hours to discuss your assignments, your grades, and your overall performance in class. This is a good practice to cultivate for other courses you will take during your academic career. I am always open to suggestions and feedback!

Videos
Videos shown and discussed in class are either on Sakai (sakai.claremont.edu, see "Video Playlist") or linked to this web syllabus. Additional videos links, connected to student presentations and class discussion, can be posted to the "Forums" section of Sakai.

Reading Assignments
Required readings will be posted on Sakai (sakai.claremont.edu) in the "Resources" folder. Please complete readings for the day they are assigned (i.e. if a reading is assigned for Tuesday, 9.1, you should have read that reading by the class meeting time on that day) You should be able to draw from these reading assignments during class discussions, exams, papers, other assignments.

* Your general performance in class including participation, non-letter-graded writing assignments, attendance and punctuality, except in the special cases listed above, such as if you have more than 3 un-excused absences.

Generally, outstanding ('A') students in this class have good attendance and completed all their assignments on time. They are consistently well prepared for class, and actively participate in and advance our discussions with pertinent information, questions, and observations. Their work demonstrate their awareness of the issues at hand, the historical context for the film and videos they are discussing, as well as their ability to articulate their observations and analyses in a clear and concise manner. Only letter grades are given out in this class.

Academic Accommodations
If you have a disability for which you are or may be requesting an accommodation, you are encouraged to contact both your faculty and Academic Support Services in the Student Affairs Office by email at the beginning of the semester if you have not already registered for accommodations.

Director of Academic Support Services: Gabriella Tempestoso, gabriella_tempestoso@pitzer.edu

Academic Honesty
Academic dishonesty in any form -- including the representation of someone else's work as your own, the destruction or malicious alteration of the work of others, the re-use of work prepared for another course, and so on -- will be subject to the most severe penalties permitted under your school's student code.

Extra credit- Students are encouraged to attend relevant programs (e.g. screenings, exhibitions, performances, lectures, conferences, social media events, etc.) remotely and write a 2 page (typed and double-spaced) report of the event or activity. Incorporate the event's relevance to the class as well as your personal responses to it. Students are allowed two extra credit papers. Announcements for events of interest to this class are done in the first 5 mins. of each class. Web links can also be posted to the online syllabus (by instructor) and to the class Sakai forum (by all class members).

Questions About Grading
I try my best to make my grading criteria as clear as possible, and you are welcome to come and discuss your grades and your class performance with me. However, I only consider legitimate concerns, and be aware that your grade is as likely to go down as it is to go up after I reassess your assignment. I do not tolerate haggling, bribing, threats, and any other pointless arguments. I consider all aspects of your performance before I assign a grade, please respect my assessment as I respect your efforts.

Your list should contain the dates and places for these events or trends, significant individuals involved, their names and why their involvement was significant, and why that particular event or trend is representative of the period. Post your list in Sakai forums (topic: 1940-1960) ideally in chronological order with other students' postings, and be prepared to present your list in class. This exercise is similar to creating an annotated bibliography in academic research. Lists should be posted by next week's Tuesday class.
