STUDENT 1:
Choose an article that reviews a film from a magazine such as Entertainment Weekly or a similar source.
Smile by Katie Rife. https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/smile-movie-review-2022 (Links to an external site.)
What hierarchy does the reviewer use as a source for evaluative criteria?
The author uses value hierarchy as a source of evaluative criteria. The author focuses on the originality and level of horror to create value of the film through a comparative analysis of other films within the same category.
What specific criteria are used in evaluating this film?
The criteria used is discovery. The author used existing information and framework of other films as a comparison to the film they reviewed.
What arguments of effect, significance, and inherency are used?
The author of the movie review for “Smile” Katie Rife uses effect. The effectiveness of information comes in the form of utilizing other movie examples, pointing out the shortcomings and flaws of the film versus others, and ending with the argument that the film, “introduces Finn as a capable horror helmer, one with a talent for an elegantly crafted jump scare and a knack for making a viewer feel uneasy and upset as they exit the theater—both advantages for a film like this one.”

2. I believe the author uses the value hierarchy.
3. The author used the criteria of discovery.
4. The argument of effect that is used is that this movie relies on throwback movies “because it can,” as the author says. The argument of significance is that she connects the throwback movies she is talking about to different parts of the movie. The argument of inherency is used to explain why and how the movie is connected to parts in throwback movies.

3. Suggest proposals to solve the disparity.
4. How would each proposal solve the disparity?
5.What advantages does each proposal have?
Respond to at least two other classmate’s posts.
STUDENT 1:
1. Identify one or more problems at the college that seem to create a disparity.
Mt. San Jacinto lacks a significant amount of degree programs that many other community colleges offer.
2. Analyze this disparity in terms of its nature, extent, harm, and inherency.
Nature: The nature of this disparity is not meant to be intentionally harmful but is by proxy.
Extent: The extent of this disparity is limited to past, current, and future students.
Harm: With MSJC offering less programs over time, it causes future students to have to settle with programs that are not their first choice, since there are many individuals who are unable to travel to schools that are further away.
Inherency: The only barrier which would prevent the disparity from being solved would be the college officials choosing not to expand the current program offerings.
3. Suggest proposals to solve the disparity.
There is only one way to solve the disparity, which is expanding current programs to create new degree offerings.
4. How would each proposal solve the disparity?
Expanding current programs will utilize current resources and minimizes the need for additional resources.
5. What advantages does each proposal have?
My first proposal increases opportunity for not just students but current and future students and increases employment opportunities for both students and professors/instructors.
