My Project

Our student body has grown in size and has gained an interest in movie criticism. The course, history of film, that we offer is always a hit. I created the course Book to Movie Criticism to give students another way of critiquing film. They are eager to look at the comparison and discuss with their peers. When our students find something they like and are engaged in, they perform better in their courses.

They are enthusiastic about discussing with their peers.

Usually when they are interested in the content and in a group with their peers and friends, the conversation flows. This course has grown in size and in popularity. Our normal book numbers have already been succeeded and almost doubled! In order to provide the best content for them, we need more books to give them the content.
