Students are expected to maintain the highest standards of academic integrity. All work submitted must be original and properly cited. Plagiarism, cheating, or any form of academic dishonesty will result in immediate consequences as outlined in the university's academic integrity policy.

One serious kind of academic misconduct is plagiarism, which occurs when a writer,
speaker, or designer deliberately uses someone else’s language, ideas, images, or other original material or code without fully acknowledging its source by quotation marks as appropriate, in footnotes or endnotes, in works cited, and in other ways as appropriate (modified from WPA Statement on “Defining and Avoiding Plagiarism”). If you engage in plagiarism or any other form of academic misconduct, you will fail the assignment in which you have engaged in academic misconduct and be referred to the Office of Student Integrity, as required by Georgia Tech policy.

Course description:

This course examines the life, works, and career of pioneering Black science fiction author Octavia E. Buter within the historical and cultural context of the twentieth century.  We also pay close attention to how Butler’s oeuvre charts the arc of American history from the Civil Rights Movement to the Iraq war and the significance of Butler’s prophetic warnings in the novels, short stories, and critical writings by and related to Butler’s canon.

Academic honesty/integrity statement:

Students are expected to maintain the highest standards of academic integrity. All work submitted must be original and properly cited. Plagiarism, cheating, or any form of academic dishonesty will result in immediate consequences as outlined in the university's academic integrity policy.

This class strictly enforces the Georgia Tech Honor Code. Do not submit work that is not your own. When direct quotations are used, they should be indicated, and when the ideas of another are incorporated into a paper, they must be appropriately acknowledged.

This course is meant in part to improve and evaluate your writing ability. For this reason, for the purposes of this class, any student found to have used AI technologies or programs (e.g. Chat GPT) to compose part or all of any submitted work will face the same penalties as a student who submits plagiarized work (i.e. a failing grade in the course). 

For more details, see GT’s Academic Honor Code.

Course description:

How do we write, read, and talk about films we love? How might we reconcile our unique experiences of films—the memories, dreams, desires, hopes, and fears that they conjure—with those of a mass audience? How might film criticism help us appreciate both the audiovisual richness of cinema and the expressive capacity of language? Who gets to be a critic, and how? Whose voices aren’t we hearing, and why? How does the history of film criticism—in tandem with the history of film—reveal societal trends and power dynamics? This intimate and rigorous seminar studies the work of canonical film critics alongside contemporary modes of film criticism (e.g., print/online journalism, video essays, podcasts, Letterboxd reviews, and social media posts). Students will create original work within a supportive workshop environment that emphasizes craft, practice, and revision; students will also have the opportunity to write and edit film criticism for the international undergraduate film journal, Film Matters. 

Academic honesty/integrity statement:

Students are expected to maintain the highest standards of academic integrity. All work submitted must be original and properly cited. Plagiarism, cheating, or any form of academic dishonesty will result in immediate consequences as outlined in the university's academic integrity policy.

Course description:

“The ear goes more toward the within, the eye toward the outer,” claims French filmmaker Robert Bresson, renowned for his sophisticated cinematic soundscapes. Though we commonly speak of seeing films, we less often talk about hearing them. Listening is something we do more than practice, and this Film Sound course helps us hear the movies by attuning our senses to cinema's fuller acoustic richness. Through listening to films and mapping sound patterns, exceptions, and exemplars, this class combines the history of film sound (as dialogue, voice, music, effects, and silence) with theories of how and why sound moves us and makes meanings, within films by prominent sound-focused filmmakers (such as Bresson, Jane Campion, the Coen brothers, Alfonso Cuarón, Michael Haneke, Spike Lee, Terrence Malick, Jordan Peele, Kelly Reichardt, Martin Scorsese) and examples from a variety of films such as M, Le Million, Modern Times, Singin' in the Rain, Playtime, Star Wars, Blue, The Royal Tenenbaums, The Lives of Others, Arrival, 45 Years, Portrait of a Lady on Fire, Passing, Drive My Car, Memoria, Zone of Interest. In addition to written assessments and experiential projects (e.g., sound walks), students will create projects that remix, transform, and expand film history.
