Question

oscar is participating in his high schools running start program, which allows him to take courses at the nearby community college. last quarter he enrolled in english 101 and this quarter he is taking introduction to film studies. while he expected his english class to be all work and no fun, hes surprised to find that hes not enjoying the movies in his new class because his teacher is making the students overthink them. after all, theyre just movies and are only meant to be entertaining. what academic problem might oscar soon encounter in his film class? he is setting himself up to fail at the task of scholarly, for - credit analysis. he may find his worldview is being challenged and changed against his will. he may begin to imagine meanings which are not really there. he may stop enjoying movies in the future.

Explanation:

Oscar's attitude that movies are only for entertainment shows he doesn't understand the academic requirements of the "Introduction to Film Studies" class. Scholarly analysis (for - credit) requires in - depth thinking, not just seeing movies as pure entertainment. If he maintains this wrong view, he is likely to fail in the academic task of the course. There is no indication in the text that his worldview will be challenged against his will, nor that he will imagine non - existent meanings or stop enjoying movies in general (just the ones in class due to over - thinking now).

Answer:

He is setting himself up to fail at the task of scholarly, for - credit analysis.
