A sampler of student videos

Students in last fall's course, "Introduction to African-American Politics," had the option of creating a short video feature instead of taking a final exam. Here is a sampling of their work. For a feature in the April 23, 2008, issue of PAW on the Center for African American Studies, click here.

Each format will play with a QuickTime or RealPlayer plugin (see help below if you have difficulty viewing the videos), or you can download each file to iTunes or a similar video playing device.
