JASS 408: Reviewing Movies, Games, and Television

Course Description

The film, or TV, or video game critic has played a longstanding role in these fields in defining what counts as “good” or “high quality.” This course invites students to take on that role by developing skills for reviewing multiple types of media, including movies, TV shows, video games, music, and more. Students will learn how to incorporate aesthetic judgments, historical context, and technical knowledge to produce reviews of media works of their choice. In addition, students will produce reviews for a variety of platforms, including print and websites, podcasts, and videos. (YR).
