The Reading Log provides a record of the key issues and concepts contained in the readings for each week, plus others you undertake beyond that required minimum. You should use the log to note ideas and arguments you find difficult as well as those you find persuasive.
The Reading Log is due in week 5. Each log must cover the readings set for weeks 2, 3 & 4.
Note: Where there are two or more readings in 1 week, these count as 1 entry in your reading log (ie. you must discuss all of that week?s reading material in the allowed word limit). The word limit for each log entry is 300-350 words.
The aim of the reading log is to promote a practice of critical reading and note taking that offers a far greater retention of ideas and concepts that are central to the disciplinary context of film studies. It will be of direct benefit to your contributions in tutorials. It will also provide you with a record of ideas that will be of use in other introductory and upper level film subjects. You might also use the log to construct a record of other ideas and filmic experiences that you feel are pertinent to the weekly topic, for example, a film seen outside of class.
Here are some tips on how to approach this assessment task:
? Do not use the log to simply record your personal opinions of a particular article or film. (The logbook is very different to a diary.) Concentrate, rather, on explicating key concepts and filmic devices.
? Begin each logbook entry by providing the full bibliographic details of the article/s being discussed (including author name and bibliographic details), the week of the discussion and the general topic.
? Provide five or six dot points identifying key terms and concepts discussed in the article. (Do not simply summarise the content of the article).
? Write 300-350 words using proper sentences outlining the arguments made by the author(s) and discussing the central concepts and ideas. You may find it useful to break up this explication by using subheadings.
? You can intersperse a discussion of the film with the remarks on the article to show your ability to synthesise and apply concepts.
? When quoting directly from the articles, make sure you use ?quotation marks? and provide the page number. When paraphrasing, you should also provide the page number. (It is essential that you learn to do this correctly in order to avoid plagiarism).
? Conclude by listing any questions that arise from the reading or film that you wish to present to the class or discuss privately with your tutor.
Assessment Criteria
? Ability to identify key issues, concepts, argument.
? Ability to explain major ideas/concepts.
? Ability to apply ideas/concepts (eg. to examples from films/by engaging with other writers).
