This course offers a survey of Korean film history. It will chart the development of Korean cinema as a popular entertainment as well as an art form during the last hundred years. Our journey will start from the globalization of Korean cinema and its transnational audiences and chronologically hark back to the earliest histories during the colonial period. The course aims to: (1) understand the larger historical and cultural contexts surrounding Korean cinema; (2) examine cinema in terms of its active interaction with viewers; (3) learn theoretical frameworks of national/transnational cinema discourse, genre studies, and documentary filmmaking; and (4) develop skills to analyze the moving images.

Week 6

-
- Thursday, 11 October 2018
- Assignment - Finding your article
- Review page 6 of your Editing Wikipedia guidebook.
- Look up 3-5 potential topics related to the course that you might want to update on Wikipedia. Review the content of the article and check the Talk page to see what other Wikipedians are already contributing. Identify one or two areas from each that you could improve.
- Choose 2-3 potential articles from that list that you can tackle, and post links to the articles and your notes about what you might improve in your sandbox.
- Finally, present your choices to your instructor for feedback.
- Assignment - Finalize your topic / Find your sources
- On the Students tab, assign your chosen topic to yourself.
- In your sandbox, write a few sentences about what you plan to contribute to the selected article.
- Think back to when you did an article critique. What can you add?

- Course meetings
-
- Tuesday, 16 October 2018 | Thursday, 18 October 2018
- Assignment - Annotated bibliography
Create an annotated bibliography of sources that you can use to write or improve your article. This is a document detailing your research progress. It should include bibliographic information on some of the sources you will use, and outline your preliminary thinking about these sources and how they will fit into your Wikipedia article. Submit it as a file (doc, docx, or pdf) on Moodle.
Week 8
- Course meetings
-
- Tuesday, 23 October 2018 | Thursday, 25 October 2018
- Assignment - Start drafting your article
You've picked a topic and found your sources. Now it's time to start writing.
Creating a new article?
- Write an outline of that topic in the form of a standard Wikipedia article's "lead section." Write it in your sandbox.
- A "lead" section is not a traditional introduction. It should summarize, very briefly, what the rest of the article will say in detail. The first paragraph should include important, broad facts about the subject. A good example is Ada Lovelace. See Editing Wikipedia page 9 for more ideas.
Improving an existing article?
- Identify what's missing from the current form of the article. Think back to the skills you learned while critiquing an article. Make notes for improvement in your sandbox.
Keep reading your sources, too, as you prepare to write the body of the article.

Keep working on transforming your article into a complete first draft. Get ready to peer review one of your classmates' articles.

- Select one classmate’s article that you will peer review and copyedit. On the Articles tab, find the articles that you want to review, and then assign them to yourself in the Review column.
- Peer review your classmate's draft. Leave suggestions on on the Talk page of the article, or sandbox, that your fellow student is working on. Other editors may be reviewing your work, so look for their comments! Be sure to acknowledge feedback from other Wikipedians.
- As you review, make spelling, grammar, and other adjustments. Pay attention to the tone of the article. Is it encyclopedic?
- Milestones
Every student has finished reviewing their assigned articles, making sure that every article has been reviewed.
