Film
Please watch either the documentary Merchants Of Doubt or A Climate of Doubt according to these guidelines:
1) If you have not seen Merchants Of Doubt, please watch it. It is available for viewing on GauchoCast. If you are not enrolled in the class, it can be rented for a relatively modest fee from YouTube, Amazon, Google, etc.
2) If you have already seen Merchants Of Doubt, please instead watch A Climate of Doubt. If you are not enrolled in the class, it currently streams for free directly from PBS.
3) Since we will be considering each in class, feel free to watch both videos.
Film assignment: after watching one of the above films, please watch Ken’s video on YouTube introducing them and comment on his video. Note that while Ken’s introduction covers both of the above films, you only need to comment on the film that you watched. However, if you have already watched Merchants Of Doubt, please feel free to reference it in your comment.
Note that, while you can watch this video on this page, you need to go to YouTube to comment in the YouTube comment section.
Please note that your YouTube comments on Ken’s short lectures on the films need to be completed by 6 AM on Monday, October 23.
