Because so many instructors have found documentary films useful course resources for teaching everything from rhetorical analysis to use of sources to visual critique, in the fall ISUComm sponsors a documentary film series centered around cultural themes. In Fall 2006 there were four themes: artists, architects, science/technology, sports. Learning communities, thematic composition courses, and related courses in various disciplines may find one or more of these films useful as supplemental visual texts or as the central focus of a unit or assignment. Film showings are on Tuesdays, August through November in the Kocimski Auditorium, 101 Design Building.
DVD versions of these documentaries may be checked from the ISUComm Lending Library so that instructors may use them in class.
