I have not seen the LAT article, nor am I advocating a position here. I'm
just curious about the following question:
In the formation of a film department's curriculum, where does one draw a
line between what the Professor's (who are better informed) think is important Vs
what the students (who after all are the financial basis of the department)
want to learn?
I hope that's clear.  I have no answer myself, and as a Ph.D. candidate my
allegiances are to both sides, so I'm just curious to see what listmembers
think.
