What is usual here is that a separate screening, in addition to normal class meeting times, is built into the class-schedule, often like a "lab" time for a science course. This is treated roughly as homework/required "reading". Usually a second screening is arranged and students encouraged to see the film again, required to do so for a paper (videos often get substituted here). This seems necessary for any use of feature length films and for a normal full credit course. Often, however, short films, or scenes, etc., can be show in class and then discussed, and sometimes even repeated. For my own film course, which concerns itself very much with how to see/look at films (of several types) and with film structure and aesthetics that go beyond narrative, I have had to expand weekly class meeting times to 3 75-minute periods (+ outside feature length screenings). Admittedly, I'm obsessive about this, but showing clips and talking about film chews up an awful lot of time, and I want to both hear what students have to say and how they explore this material as well as develop ideas of my own. But everyone else gets by ok with 2 75-minute classes + outside screenings. Jesse Kalin Vassar
