HON 203 - Hollywood’s Portrayal of Education

This course examines the impact of film and television on shaping the public’s perception of teachers, students, and schools. Is this portrayal entirely truthful? If not, what parts of the school experience are misrepresented? Are there parts left out completely? What are some of the stereotypes generated by film and television of schools, students, and teachers? Thoughtful analysis of these questions will be core themes discussed throughout the semester. Course Typically Offered: Every 2 years.
