Excellent very interesting course and a great course leader Dr Emmett Sullivan well worth spending time on this.
The course, it enabled me to develop a sharper understanding of photographs and films as public history. I really enjoyed the peer graded assignments.
This course is very informative and structural in learning the relation of films and history.
This course provides students with the tools they need to analyse and understand visual history along with its deceiving nature that derived from the very character of film properties.
