I am planning for my first film class.  (Heh, heh, shall I announce that I'm
new to all this a little more clearly?)  I am looking for opinions on
the advantages and disadvantages of showing the whole film in class, making
the students see it on their own, making them do both, or something in
between.  The class I am teaching is a film/literature class (Junior level).
Based upon my experiences as a film student, I would guess that.... well,
I'd rather not give my unformed opinions out at this point....  What do
you do in an undergraduate film class; what do you expect of your
students?
 
Thanks in advance,
Carol
