 CINE200 Introduction to Cinema Studies 

This is a required course for all Cinema majors. This course will be delivered completely online during the Winter session—an excellent opportunity to get ahead! We will cover basic cinematic techniques and terminology, establishing a foundation on which the degree rests. I have taught this course online for years, and I have made a point of trying to create lectures that are informative and visually engaging. I do NOT present the material as annotated Power Point slides, but rather make an effort to design each lecture like a mini-documentary on a specific subject.   

CINE211 Film History!

This course surveys approximately the first 50 years of cinematic culture from around the globe. This course is a requirement for the Cinema major. This course will be delivered completely online during the Winter session—an excellent opportunity to get ahead! I have taught this course online for years, and I have made a point of trying to create lectures that are informative and visually engaging.
