This leads to solely relying on you 3. to 6. My biggest problem is that many of the students are not close to campus (hence the online class). This leads to solely relying on you 3. to 6.

You may screen the films (for free) in the UT Library at your convenience, at any time. The library carries ALL of the required screenings for this course. 2. You may screen the films (for free) in a group setting in the UT library on Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, or Thursday from 7-9 PM. Screening rooms hold roughly 15 students, so if you select this option, please know that you might be turned away if the room is full. 3. You may rent the films (for free) from a local library. For example, Hitchcock's Rear Window is located at six different branches of the Toledo-Lucas public library. 4. You may rent the films from a local video store like Blockbuster or Hollywood Video. Please be aware, however, that these stores do not always have classic films in stock; so if you prefer this option, check shelves early! 5. You may order/rent/download the films from Netflix. See plans, which range from $4.99/month to $25.00/month, at www.netflix.com. If you choose this option, be sure that you request the films in the order in which they are listed on the syllabus. Netflix carries ALL of the required screenings for this course. 6. If you want to own any of these films, you might check online sites like Buy.com and Amazon.com, which usually have reasonable prices (e.g., the DVD of Do the Right Thing costs less than $10.00). Again, this is for feature-length films. Film clips are a different story... I don't encourage YouTube and the like. Hope that helps!
