Redick Introduction

Welcome to the Religion in Film 2013 reading and reflection blog.  Make sure to start the blog with your name and the subject of the entry in the post title area. Blog entries will be considered informal writing assignments and as such will be graded more in relation to content than style. Blog entries will contain questions and answers to questions, as well as reflections which relate to daily classroom discussions, completion of exercises, and reading assignments.  Any questions the student has when reading or completing assignments should be written in their blog.  Reflections may relate to connections the student makes between discussions in this class and those in other classes, between arguments raised in the readings in this class and those raised in other classes or in informal conversations.  Students are encouraged to apply the ideas learned in this class to activities that take place outside of the class.  These applications make great reflections.  The student should bring questions from the blog to class and ask those questions which were raised in specific blog entries.  As those questions are addressed and answered in the classroom discussions, the student should make note of the discussion and answers within subsequent blog entries. This class blog will reflect the quality of the students daily classroom participation and completion of homework assignments, and will be graded with this in mind.  The student may submit the blog for grading at several times during the course of the semester.  The blog is not the same thing as a compilation of class lecture notes; it is the product of written personal reflection related to the class.
