110A
Media Review One : Penn &
Teller - Bullshit! Episode on PETA
Due: The start of class on October
6th, (or to the philosophy department drop-box).
Late assignments will not be accepted.
You are to watch the first episode of the second
season of Bullshit! and write a one page (single spaced)
review of the episode. The episode is available in the
Faculty of Arts video library in University College, Room
1.
A good review informs the reader whether or not the
reader should take the time to read, watch, or listen to
the reviewed material. For a philosophy review, one
should give some indication of whether or not a
philosopher should view or listen to the material.
You'll be doing a pretty short review, so you really
only have to do three things:
1. Write a short paragraph telling your
reader what the material is, what the point of the
material is, and whether or not the material is
successful in its goals.
2. Write a short paragraph that briefly describes
what you feel is the most successful piece of
argumentation in the material.
3. Write a short paragraph that briefly describes
what you feel is the least successful piece of
argumentation in the material.
As this is a short assignment, you might not be able
to fit in all the reasons for your choices. remember
these, however, since we will be discussing the film in
class.
