Solution Assessment, Validation, and Implementation

4.0 units The solution, assessment, validation, and implementation of issues and/or opportunities depends on the quality alternatives identified through requirements, gatherings, and analysis. In this final process step, the business analyst can strategically propose and model effec‑ tive solutions within the context of the organization. Key “deliverables” in this course include development of estimates for time and the resources and budgets required to implement solutions that meet the project requirements. Additionally, this course focuses on how to design and implement solutions with measurable, reportable out‑ comes. Business analysts are accountable for proposed solutions just as they are accountable for prior process steps. In this class, the student learns to facilitate the solution process: developing alterna‑ tives, solution selection, ensuring usability, supporting the quality assurance, and on-time, on-budget implementation. The ability to assess projects after implementation is included as a key component of a business analyst’s job; therefore, learning how to evaluate internal reporting technology options as well as reporting formats is a prereq‑ uisite for future assessment and validation of the solution(s). Effective stakeholder communications of the impacts and post-implementation reviews and assessments are a part of the business analyst’s respon‑ sibilities and are included in this course. Prerequisite(s): Successful completion of the other five required courses in the Business Analysis Program or consent of instructor. Reg# 387981 Fee: $795 No refund after 23 Sept.

Communication Skills

4.0 units There is a new wave of management development and leadership practices. The scientific, human relations, customer service, and busi‑ ness focus practices are already baked into today’s practices, but the Internet, with its global connectivity, creates demands for substantially new leadership challenges. The world today is not only a global marketplace with diverse customers, vendors, and workers, but is largely defined by high technology manufacturing (including advanced robotics producing everything from almost invisible semiconductors to automobiles and aircraft) and rapid movement to ser‑ vices economies. Information flows at the speed of light via fiber-optic cables and laser while artificial intelligence and related software immediately translates all communications into virtually any language or dialect. Product development teams may span multiple countries with many collaborators never meeting face to face. Collaborations can be very short term (project-by-project) or long-term (strategic planning) with employees connected online 24/7 operating outside traditional hierarchies. Organizations are lean, connected, competitive, and staffed by knowledge workers who have global instantaneous access to real-time news, databases, and market related information. This course introduces the new leadership models needed to collabo‑ rate, coordinate, and make the most of our modern working environ‑ ment and resources.

MGMT X 443.6

Project Planning with Microsoft Project

®

4.0 units 3.3 CEUs The schedule is the primary source of conflict on any project. Ques‑ tions like “When will we launch?”, “When is the release date?”, “When will we get the certificate of occupancy?” and “When will the drug be available to the public?”, can only be answered credibly by building real project schedules and using real scheduling apps. Surprisingly, this is rarely done. As a result, project managers are often unaware which tasks to expedite to get projects done faster. They make calls, trade favors, and pressure resources to expedite tasks that will not result in earlier project completion dates. This problem is further compounded by the growing trend toward modern, cloud-based project management tools, such as Wrike , Monday.com , and Smartsheet . While these tools are great for collaborating, they lack the scheduling features required to expedite projects. In this course, you’ll learn why Microsoft Project continues to be the tool of choice for professional schedulers and knowledgeable project managers. You’ll learn why you should avoid tools like Excel, Wrike , Monday. com , Smartsheet , and even Project for the Web when you’re managing projects that require you to find ways to get things done faster. Whether you’re managing a construction project, deploying new infrastructure, or launching a start-up, this learn-by-doing course will help you use Microsoft Project to build and analyze schedules your team can rely on. You’ll learn to break down projects into manageable parts, structure the project outline, forecast reliable completion dates, set realistic expectations, manage resources and assignments, use the critical path to get the work done faster, and create professional status reports! The scheduling skills you’ll learn with Microsoft Proj‑ ect , the most widely used true scheduling app, will significantly reduce your learning curve with a wide range of scheduling software in the project management field. Prerequisite(s): Proficiency in using computers with Windows operat‑ ing system; working knowledge of MS Office is also helpful. Reg# 388565 Fee: $1,099 No refund after 2 Oct.

4.0 units 3.3 CEUs Once projects cross their planning stage, the execution phase starts with the inevitable reality of needing to change and update the original plans. Supported with formal baselines for project schedule, cost, quality, and resources, the project manager’s key role is to ensure changes against those baselines are made orderly, formally, and effectively. This course focuses on project implementation and the various qualitative and quantitative methods project managers rely on to control and manage their project changes to successfully complete them on-time and within budget. Project changes in one area will necessarily impact other areas, requiring a relentless balanc‑ ing act among schedule, cost, quality, staffing, and risk-related priori‑ ties. This course will also cover tactics to manage the myriad of stakeholders on the project during its implementation and control stages, utilizing an integrated change management approach to minimize negative impacts and maximize positive outcomes.

Python Programming I

4.0 units 3.6 CEUs Python is a high-level, dynamically typed, and portable programming language that excels when the cost of software development out‑ weighs performance considerations—which is quite often in practice. Python covers similar territory as Perl and is similarly an open-source product, but it is considered easier to learn, write, and maintain. NASA, Industrial Light and Magic (ILM), Honeywell, and many other compa‑ nies all use Python to handle jobs for which classical programming languages are not well-suited. This course introduces Python and its libraries as a general programming environment, then applies Python to real-world problems, such as website development, database access, text processing, XML editing, GUI development, and system administration.

Python Programming II: Exploratory Statistics

4.0 units 3.3 CEUs As probability and statistics are fundamental to machine learning algo‑ rithms, practitioners in data science must be familiar with basic statistical concepts. This course introduces practitioners to material from probability and statistics that will be useful throughout their career. There are four areas where this course differs from a standard probability and statistics course. First, as opposed to learning through the axiomatic, deductive process, students learn through computer experimentation where they distill results from experiments, building intuition into key concepts. Sec‑ ond, students become familiar with Python tools used by data scientists. Third, the course introduces fundamental concepts, but the emphasis is on material that is of greatest value to practitioners and gives practical guidance for issues that the practitioner confronts. Finally, the course ends by applying the conceptual material to regression modeling. Prerequisite(s): Programming: The student is expected to have basic programming skills that one would obtain from experience with a high-level language. Knowledge of Python would be helpful but is not required. Students without Python experience are welcome and must be prepared to learn the basics on their own. Mathematics: Precal‑ culus is the only prerequisite. Students with a stronger background will have the opportunity to investigate topics in more depth and will find some material more accessible.

The essen‑ tial question for this course is: Who are my students and how do I create an effective environment for learning for all students?This course is designed to support induction candidates in accomplishing several objectives in the context of (a) their own individual learning plan and the California Standards for the Teaching Profession (CSTP), (b) the support they receive from an induction mentor, and (c) the course’s essential question regarding knowing your students and creating effective learning environments for all students: a) In consul‑ tation with the assigned mentor, develop an individual learning plan (ILP) that identifies CSTP-related areas of need for professional growth and includes one or more goals that are connected to the course’s essential question; b) in consultation with the assigned mentor, develop an inquiry question and classroom-based action plan to examine an area of need identified in the ILP that focuses on improv‑ ing an aspect of teaching practice that has an impact on student learning—the inquiry question should have a connection to the course’s essential question, and the action plan should allow for col‑ lection of evidence to assess effectiveness with students as well as evidence of teacher growth; c) in consultation with the assigned mentor, select and use relevant pathway-to-learning modules provided in this course, as well as other recommended resources, to build deeper understanding in the area of need that is the subject of the inquiry question and action plan; and d) use a plan-teach-reflectapply approach to implement the action plan for the inquiry question. This approach includes collecting and analyzing sources of evidence for analysis and reflection that may include classroom video and artifacts of student learning, and includes mentor coaching with respect to identified areas for improvement of teaching practices. The implementation of the action plan culminates in reflection on how new knowledge and insights will be applied to ongoing practices to create an effective environment for learning for all students, as well as initial ideas for a capstone project that will be completed in the final course of the program.

African American Portraiture: The Poetics of History, Memory, and Revolutionary Love

The art of portraiture is a genre that recognizes the importance of the person depicted: their status, wealth, and place in their community. The right to be pictured, or to picture oneself, is a declaration of worth and citizenship. In this course, we explore innovative, photographic self-portraiture by African Americans during and immediately following the Civil War. We also focus on contemporary African American por‑ traiture created in diverse media - from photography to textiles - that redresses social injustice with beauty, power, and grace.

Sharon’s Salon with Lionel Friedberg: South Africa, Then and Now

Emmy-award winning documentary filmmaker and New York Times best-selling author Lionel Friedberg grew up in South Africa under apartheid. Many of the films he made there dealt with the country’s institutionalized racial segregation, as well as the customs and culture of its indigenous people. Lionel moved to Los Angeles with his family in 1985 to raise his children and continue his career in a more open society. In this interview, he shares his vast knowledge of South Africa’s history and culture, the Jewish immigrant experience in South Africa, and the African shamans who influenced his life.

Critical Race Theory: Context, Controversy, and Call to Action

Critical Race Theory is an academic concept that is more than 40 years old, developed by legal scholars to interpret America’s institutions in the context of race and civil rights. In recent months, legislators in many states have rushed to pass laws to ban the teaching of CRT from K-12 classroom across the country. Yet what exactly is CRT? It can be hard to know. There’s no manifesto or mission statement. That’s made Critical Race Theory a bit of a moving target. In this course, we have three goals. The first objective is to locate the origins of CRT, establish its core premises, describe the recent controversy, and interrogate the stakes of it all. The second objective is to show CRT in action—to nar‑ rate the histories of voting rights and of crime and punishment in the United States through the lens of Critical Race Theory. The third is to introduce participants to a list of practices that CRT scholars believe all of us can adopt to mitigate the worst legacies of slavery in our supposedly post-slavery world.

Shakespeare for Beginners and Experts, Part 3

William Shakespeare is widely regarded as the greatest author of plays and poems in the English language. What is not widely recognized is that he wrote for two audiences: playgoers eager for entertainment and the thoughtful ‘wiser sort’ who were deeply concerned with the political, cultural, religious, and social questions of the day. Shake‑ speare had a lot to say to both audiences which accounts for his timeless popularity. In this course, we read four of Shakespeare’s plays and sonnets and discuss them as well-informed lovers of the theater and poetry. We also sift his writings for the provocative ideas—sedi‑ tious, ungodly, and rebellious—that fired the imagination of the ‘wiser sort’ then and now. We read the following plays: The Taming of the Shrew, The Tempest, Loves’ Labors Lost, The Merry Wives of Windsor; as well as Shakespeare’s Sonnets. This course will be recorded.

American Civil Religion

In 1967, an American sociologist named Robert Bellah published an article claiming that, alongside churches, synagogues, mosques, and temples there also existed “an elaborate and well-institutionalized civil religion in America.” He observed that Americans embrace a common civil religion with certain fundamental beliefs, values, holi‑ days, and rituals in parallel to, or independent of, their chosen reli‑ gion. Since his time, the term and its study has flourished; American civil religion is today an academic tool in understanding what was and is the United States of America. In this course, we explore the historical roots of American civil religion, beginning with its origins in Europe and its development in the new world. As with any religion, we deal with the religious archetypes and structures—cosmogonic myths, creation myths, prophets, martyrs, holidays, sacred land, sacred texts, and more.

American Artists Abroad

Before the 20th century, Europe was considered the center of the art world. Steeped in artistic tradition and with no structured train‑ ing available at that time in the US, most American artists journeyed to Paris or other parts of Europe to study. Seeking more opportunity, freedom, and expertise, many of those artists chose to remain abroad. By the late 19th century several of the world’s most influen‑ tial painters were American expatriates. In this course we look at Samuel Morse (who went to the Louvre every day for more than two years) and other 19th century artists who moved abroad to establish their career. Among those covered are James McNeil Whistler, Henry Ossawa Turner, John Singer Sargent, and Mary Cassatt. This course will be recorded.

A World of My Own: Alternate Reality in Movies

In this era of social anxiety, political populism, and lack of trust in facts, it is not surprising that the movie industry is doubling down on stories of alternate realities. In this course, we explore time traveling—to alternative versions of our lives with Coherence, Mr. Nobody and into a 1950s TV show with Pleasantville. We also look at stories that seem to offer primarily what their premise suggests—an escape from real‑ ity—but also shed light on the social and political contradictions of the world. Whether these alternate realities are created by the minds of powerful narrators, as seen in Orson Welles’s F for Fake; or by trauma‑ tized characters, as seen in The Last Command; or are forced onto a character, as in The Truman Show —these parallel universes are not there to remind us that our reality is flawed, but rather that, for all its imperfections, it should still be cherished, fixed, preserved and pro‑ tected. And no other film could better convey this idea than Lost Landscapes of Los Angeles, an assembly of rare and never-beforeseen footage that reconstructs the lost world that once occupied the very same streets of the cities in which we live.

Art of the French Revolution: Baroque to Romanticism

In late 17 th century and 18 th century France, art was used as a power‑ ful tool by the ruling class and others seeking power and change. Through beauty and propaganda, art was used to present power, sway beliefs, extol virtue, and make social commentary.

U.S. History, Part 2: America’s First Citizen: Ben Franklin and His Times

Benjamin Franklin was an international star through much of the 18th century, and for many Europeans, he represented what it meant to be an American and what might be possible in the new world. Franklin became a Zelig-like figure in American history, one who was seemingly present at all of the key moments of our nation’s creation. These moments included the writing of the Declaration of Independence, the signing of the Treaty of Paris (that ended the Revolutionary War), and the creation of the Constitution in 1787 among others. In this course, we focus on Franklin’s extraordinary evolution from a powerful advo‑ cate for his king and the British Empire to one of its harshest critics and an extraordinary voice in support of America’s revolutionary cause.

Classical Music Masterpieces in Films, Part 2

Classical music has been an integral part of film since the very begin‑ ning with the silent film era. At that time most individuals in charge of providing music were classically trained musicians. Compositions considered to be ‘masterpieces’ throughout history carry a cultural significance for viewers and thus enrich films with added layers of meaning and complexity. In Part II of the series, we view critically acclaimed films that use famous classical masterpieces—outside their original context—to create added layers of meaning. We discuss cul‑ tural, historic, and aesthetic issues associated with the application of a specific classical piece in significant films such as Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968), Francis Ford Coppola’s Apocalypse Now (1979), Tom Hooper’s The King’s Speech (2010), and more.

Great Conductors of Classical Music

In the history and reception of classical music, we often focus primarily on composers, their lives, and their work throughout their career. Whether we go to the concert hall or play a CD at home, an integral part of the listening experience involves encounters with different performers and interpretations that bring the musical composition to life. As time passes, performance traditions and values vary from artist to artist. In this course, we focus primarily on the role the conductor plays in shap‑ ing the music and orchestral repertoire we hear. Beginning with the acoustic recording era, we explore the performances of conductors spanning the 20th century to the present day, from Arthur Nikisch, Wilhelm Furtwängler, and Arturo Toscanini to Leonard Bernstein, John Eliot Gardiner, and Gustavo Dudamel.

In this course we take a spirited inquiry into the complex and compel‑ ling history of our pursuit of spices, not just for food but also for medi‑ cines, magic, religious ceremonies, showing off, and sex. Spices have underwritten the economies of kingdoms and countries, they have been the cause of wars, and they have produced wealth that facilitated the production of great art. The politics of spices provoked Europe’s Age of Exploration, which resulted in the discovery of new worlds. We explore how the spice trade forged an enduring, often exploitative, relationship between the Europe and Asia and the western hemisphere. Reg# 388120 Fee: $135 No refund after 11 Oct.

A contemporary of Henry VIII, Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent led the Ottomans to their geo-political apex —even as he and his immediate heirs sowed the seeds of centuries of Ottoman decline. In this course, we examine one of the least understood aspects of Renaissance-era European history—the extraordinary impact of the Ottoman Empire on people and events in the 16th century. We also explore the aspects of Ottoman rule that made them so effective as well as the sources of their decline in later centuries. Sulieman’s rule contained both the elements of success and the seeds of failure to come. Reg# 388313 Fee: $85 No refund after 28 Nov.

Iconic Jazz Guitarists

The guitar has been an integral instrument in jazz going back to the late 19 th century when it was the musical voice of the blues. It’s an incredibly versatile instrument that can shout, whisper, swing, and rock in the hands of talented musicians like Kenny Burrell, Wes Montgomery, George Benson, Bill Frisell, Barney Kessell, and Stanley Jordan. In this course we explore iconic jazz guitarists from beginning with the 1930s and 1940s, when Eddie Lang took the guitar from a rhythm instrument to a featured voice in bands. In the same period, Django Reinhardt, the Belgian Gypsy guitarist, created a unique sound with his Hot Club of France Quintet. We also learn about Texan Charlie Christian and his electrically amplified gingering guitar style which totally altered the sound and use of the guitar in jazz. We then move into the early 1950s to explore Les Paul’s system that allowed overdub‑ bing and multiple voicing which again expanded the instrument. We also cover the Brazilian influenced soft Latin sound of guitarists like Laurindo Almeida and Charlie Byrd followed. Learn about how the guitar became the lead voice of countless bands as well as becoming the instrument that best complemented the human voice. This course will be recorded.

The Blues: How Three Chords Became Rock & Roll

Rock & Roll exists because of the blues. This course explores how songs sung by enslaved Africans in the southern U.S. became gospel music, the acoustic blues of the Mississippi Delta, the electrified sounds of Chicago, and the rhythm and blues associated with Memphis. When this music became mainstream in the fifties, Rock & Roll was born, creating careers for artists like Aretha Franklin, The Drifters, and a guy named Elvis. The blues inspired rock groups on both sides of the ocean, the soulful sounds of Motown and Philadelphia, and hip hop/rap music. In this course we listen to music clips to understand this evolution Rock & Roll, how it produced social change and technological advancement worldwide.

Rome and its First Emperors: From Augustus to Nero

The Roman state was a Republic for 500 years before Augustus (Rome’s first emperor) created a Roman autocracy that replaced the Republic’s representative democracy. In this course we examine the first 100 years of Rome’s empire. We explore how Augustus built his imperial regime, the tools he used to maintain it, and the reasons Romans accepted it. We then look at Augustus’s successors—the emperors Tiberius (14-37 AD), Caligula (37-41), Claudius (41-54) and Nero (54-68) —to consider how imperial power evolved under them and why Romans accepted concentrating absolute power into the hands of one man.

Post-War Paris: The Rebirth

Four years of Nazi occupation dampened but never extinguished the creative spirit of Paris. When Paris was liberated in 1944, that spirit exploded in many directions, making the city once again a cultural mecca. Existentialism and feminism influenced literature, film, and music. After the gloom and shortages of wartime, the fashion industry came back to life and Parisian playwrights reinvented theatre. Popular music incorporated biting social criticism; the words of great poets and jazz became the music of the young. In this course we explore this amazingly vital cultural milieu that flourished amid enormous political tensions. Reg# 387552 Fee: $115 No refund after 9 Nov.

Nobel Laureates You May Not Know, Part 5: Plays

The Nobel Prize in literature is recognition for a lifetime’s achievement; what is always singled out for praise is an original voice in the service of moral or social vision. The greatest literature always tells us (in broad or specific ways) how we live—and how we might live—giving us a window on human failures, hopes, and victories. In this course, we read plays that are social and realistic, metaphysical, and artistically groundbreaking. Among them, Eugene O’Neill’s The Iceman Cometh, a work of dark realism, is considered by many as his greatest play. Harold Pinter’s The Homecoming dramatizes the compelling issues of sex and power within the family. George Bernard Shaw’s St. Joan examines the themes of individualism, faith and even feminism. Luigi Pirandello’s Six Characters in Search of an Author, is an absurdist classic in which the char‑ acters, claiming they are the incomplete creations of an author, demand to be included in the play. Peter Handke’s The Hour We Knew Nothing of Each Other enquires into the boundaries of language when it no longer serves the purposes of a genuine human community. And Dario Fo’s Accidental Death of an Anarchist “plays with” the idea of police corruption, impersonation, infiltration, and double-talk. Reg# 387853 Fee: $80 No refund after 4 Oct.

Best American Essays, Part 1

The essay is an expression of the human voice addressing an imag‑ ined audience, seeking to shift opinion, to influence judgment, to appeal to another in his or her common humanity. As Joyce Carol Oates puts it, the essay “is the ideal literary form to convey the vision of who we are and where we are going.” The essays we read in this course—direct and intimate—take on subjects of profound significance, retaining, at the same time, the power of a personal address. For example, W.E.B Du Bois’s “Of the Coming of John” is a chilling prophetic work that traces the journey of a seemingly ordinary black boy from southeastern George, sent north to be educated in a Negro school, who returns more foreign to his former relatives and neighbors than a Georgian white man. H.L. Mencken’s “The Hills of Zion” is a passion‑ ate repudiation of evangelical Christianity and anti-intellectualism; and Henry Adams’s “A Law of Acceleration” strikes a disturbingly contemporary note in its contemplation of a mechanist universe reduced to a series of relations, and mankind itself reduced to “motion in a universe of motion.” Reg# 387861 Fee: $80 No refund after 10 Oct.

Disruption: New Short Fiction from Africa

Drawn from the four corners of the continent, from Libya and Sierra Leone to Kenya and Botwana, the 21 stories we read serve up an imaginative feast, many unfolding the consequences of the environ‑ mental degradation of the planet. The contributors, however, have not parroted the doom and gloom often found in dystopian or apocalyptic fiction and have instead opted for wildly original narratives. We read this exciting, creative collection of short stories in the anthology, Disruption: New Short Fiction from Africa, edited by Rachel Zadok, Karina Szczurek, and Jason Mykl Snyman.

In this course, we look at work created by artists working now—mainly through virtual studio visits but also through virtual museum tours. Virtual museum tours offer institutional readings of contemporary artists and their work, which inherently reflects the point of view of that institu‑ tion. Virtual studio visits introduce contemporary work from individual artists, from whom we learn the interests, passions, and circumstances which inform their projects. Recognizing the role of the institution and the role of the artist in the cultural context of our times is an intriguing unfolding of history in the making.

Beginning Mah-Jongg

Mah-Jongg is a game of both skill and luck that originated in China many centuries ago. It was brought to the West in the 1920s and is played with four players seated around a table. Tiles are shuffled, die are cast, and rituals involving the allocation of tiles and then the exchange of tiles begin. The first person to match a hand of 14 tiles and thus call “Mah-Jongg” ends the game, whereupon tiles are scored, and a winner is declared. This course introduces the beginner to the basic rules and simple strategies. Learn to play this enjoyable, social, and thought-provoking game! Please visit osher.uclaextension.edu/mj to find out what the requirements and pre-requisites are for each level. Every student will need to purchase the 2022 Mah-Jongg card from the National Mah-Jongg League at: www.nationalmahjonggleague.org. The large card for $9 is preferred.

Finding Your Movement Intelligence

®

The Feldenkrais Method works slowly and systematically to build new patterns of movement. By doing very small and easy but complex movement puzzles, we learn to rewire our nervous systems to align mind with body. In this course, we become experts at knowing how our bodies work—what is possible and easy and what is more difficult or even impossible at the time. We experiment with variations in our movement patterns to build resiliency and expand our repertoire of ways to do the same movements with refinement. Anyone can benefit, since the emphasis is on learning as we once did as babies—organi‑ cally. Discover the pleasure of moving painlessly and gracefully.

Power Up Your Writing: Deeper Characters, Deeper Truths

2.0 units How do writers create work that electrifies readers and stays with them long after they have turned the last page? One key is that they create characters who live on in the readers’ minds; another is that they dig into their own hearts and minds to reveal deeper truths. Whether you’re writing fiction, poetry, memoir, or essay, this course helps you to do both. The process of being able to create memorable characters includes building the vivid worlds they live in, and exploring how they reveal who they are—and what they want—through action and speech, as well as through what they own, wear, value, and desire. The body as a metaphor for feelings about ourselves and others is explored, and visual arts—painting, sculpture, photography—offer pathways to get at your own truths. In revising your work, you gain tools for going deep into the story to reveal rich, new insights. Suitable for beginners and experienced writers. Reg# 388467 Fee: $485 No refund after 9 Nov.

Creative Café 2.0: Food & Writing

1.5 units Food is a fact of life, a universal shared culture, and amongst our most intimate concerns. Now, more than ever, food looms large in our personal, political, environmental and cultural spheres. For writers, food can inspire a lifetime supply of evocative literature. In four, halfday sessions spanning two weekends, we will consider current approaches to food, read great food writing, do in class exercises and overnight assignments for class critique, shaping a work through multiple drafts. Students will discover exciting ways to write about food, as well as expand their creative horizons regarding outlets, whether it be food-centric blogs, online literary sites, podcasts, social media, books, or publishing with traditional mainstream media.

The Psychology of Compelling Storytelling

3.0 units Novice storytellers tend to associate the quality of a story with the quality of its prose. While a clear and concise style will facilitate understanding, the commercial success of “poorly written” books demonstrates that good storytelling, the kind of storytelling that fas‑ cinates and persuades, calls for a different skill: the ability to create urgency. This is not an ordinary writing course. This course explains how it is that stories engage and persuade and provides a theoretical background of the mental processes that guide attention and decision making as well as of the limits of cognition so that students can apply that knowledge to the crafting of more engaging and more persuasive stories. For that purpose, this course takes a multidisciplinary approach to storytelling, borrowing concepts from media psychology, communication studies, social psychology, and even seemingly unrelated disciplines such as cognitive neuroscience and ethology, the study of animal behavior.

The Art of Creative Research I

3.0 units All writers conduct research, and every genre benefits from systematic query and investigation. Whether gathering family stories via oral history, re-walking Paul Revere’s path for a dystopian novel of historical fiction, shadowing a group of surfers for the sake of a narrative profile, observing open heart surgery in making the pilot of a hospital drama surge with realism, or fact-checking dates for a sociopolitical perfor‑ mance poem, inquiry and investigation enrich all forms of storytelling. Advanced and novice writers develop a project-specific research portfolio experientially by accessing special collections, searching physical and electronic archives, handling historical artifacts, utilizing expeditions to geographical environments, and managing living sources ethically, ready to integrate their findings into literary works. By the end of the course, writers possess a portfolio of information gathered to enhance either a project in progress or future works. Reg# 388648 Fee: $720 No refund after 12 Oct.

Conquering Your Story and Its Superstructure

2.0 units The first fundamental challenge facing all writers, whether novice or professional, is the process of transforming your premise into a compelling, sustainable story. This intensive workshop focuses solely on the art of the story, with an emphasis on such fundamentals as character development, super-objective, rising conflict, scene work, and the all-important quest to find your story’s superstructure. Through a series of lectures, published examples, and in-class writing exercises, writers learn how to spot critical mistakes often made in the initial development of any narrative. This workshop is designed for writers with a specific story they feel passionate about telling. After the course, you have a greater understanding of what makes a story work, along with your own detailed superstructure outline to use in the development, completion, and revision of your story.

Science Fiction and Fantasy Novel I

3.0 units Science fiction and fantasy novels are immensely popular and have inspired some of our most beloved, successful, and long-lived media franchises. But speculative novels are challenging to write due to their complex settings, their need to orient readers to an entirely unique world and its rules, and the challenge of connecting audiences to characters who might not even be human. This workshop provides both aspiring and experienced writers with genre-specific tools necessary to plan and begin a sci fi or fantasy novel. We focus on establishing a new world and its characters in the first pages of the book, working on both foundational skills like characterization and pacing as well as the worldbuilding skills unique to this genre of fiction. This course includes a workshop of your first chapter. The goal is to complete a compelling opening, a first chapter of up to 25 pages, and a preliminary outline for the whole book over the first of this two-course sequence.

Horror is both highbrow (Penguin Classic is re-issuing Thomas Ligotti’s collections) and low-brow (Tales from the Crypt has returned). This course provides aspiring horror writers with a broad understanding of the modern horror scene and its roots and helps you figure out how your vision and style fit into it. You discover what you’re good at, learn the pitfalls and obstacles you must avoid to create the well-paced novel that will sell, and acquire the skills and tech‑ niques you need to scare the pants off your readers.

3.0 units Setting and description are foundational to a story and can support larger themes well—if done thoughtfully with fresh and vivid language, attention to detail, implication, and perspective. They can, in effect, give one’s characters a home or space to work within, as well as open up possibilities for deepening and expanding the scope of any story. In this reading and exercise-based class, we explore and practice descriptive writing and its power in establishing setting and mood while enlivening action and supporting symbolic relationships in fiction and creative nonfiction. Each week, we read sample fiction and creative nonfiction to identify how the content is influenced by the description of setting, action, events, and objects. By the end of class, you have improved skills in writing descriptively to enrich and enliven your work. Reg# 388483 Fee: $720 No refund after 12 Oct.

The challenge of National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) is to write an entire draft of a 50,000-word novel over the 30 days of November. Before launching into one of the wildest writing experiences ever, you meet twice with the instructor and classmates to develop the essential strategies you need to complete your novel draft. Then, for the next five weeks of this “write-shop,” you write with the instructor offering writing exercises and tips designed to generate material and move your draft along, word-by-word, to the 50,000-word goal. At the eighth meeting, we discuss the next steps in moving you toward publication and have a class reading, just like a published author would. Our last two classes are workshops to get you started on the revision process.

Setting and Description

Character and Conflict

3.0 units One of the most misunderstood concepts in the craft of fiction writing is the relationship between character and conflict. A story can involve a complex character with fascinating thoughts, ideas, and interests, but without a conflict that motivates the character to act, the ensuing story will be stagnant and flat. In this class, we explore, through our own writing and through published work, how to create richly imag‑ ined characters and how to challenge them with conflicts that threaten their hidden, most deeply held desires, forcing them to act in ways that change the world around them. Each week, we read sample fiction to identify craft tools that help us determine and convey the flaws in our characters, flaws that then help us pick a conflicted situation to push our characters into action. Weekly writing exercises put theory into practice and help you discover what works (and doesn’t) in your own writing practice. Reg# 388484 Fee: $720 No refund after 13 Oct.

Story Structure for the Novel

3.0 units Many aspiring novelists write with the hope that inspiration will come. The result is time wasted on a flabby novel with no clear shape and a sagging pace. On the other hand, story structure gives your novel a skeleton; it forms the bones of your story. And just as adding flesh and clothing to a body makes that body more unique, so does any creative addition the writer makes to his or her basic structure. This course teaches you how to build that skeleton, from a solid premise line to building the moral argument of your novel. You ensure that your novel has what story structure guru John Truby calls the “seven key steps,” and you learn how reversals and reveals, as well as character wants and needs, can drive your story to a satisfying conclusion. Exercises are worksheets which focus on structural elements such as character ghosts, story world, and more. By the end of the course, you have in hand a six-page synopsis that works.

In this course, we learn how to effectively and compellingly craft cultural critiques in the 2020s, with units on film, TV, books, literature, and more. We read such critics as Emily Nussbaum, Wesley Morris, and Doreen St. Felix, while exploring the different multimedia platforms criticism can live on today.

Story Structure for Narrative Nonfiction

3.0 units Many narrative nonfiction writers find themselves writing into a memory, problem, image, or question, but they struggle to create meaning out of it. Other writers have a theme or meaning in mind but struggle to find a narrative.

This course gives you an overview of many different types of skeletons found in narrative nonfiction, and it encourages you to experiment with these skeletons as you work on your project. You learn tools to deal with the particular challenge nonfiction writers have in building meaning in their writing: how much do you use the reflective voice and how does this affect how a story is built? Each week, you submit writing intended to help you practice the craft tools we discuss. By the end of the course, you have a syn‑ opsis and outline for your project.

Relationship Driven Screenwriting I

3.0 units Good movies—across all genres—are really about relationships: people with problems, searching for answers, who find them through their interactions with other people. Or aliens. Or pets. Even with an arch enemy. Beneath any good script is a core relationship that makes us want to go on a journey, to see where these two characters will end up. It’s at the heart of every story type, from buddy cops, star-crossed lovers, and mothers and daughters to the King of England and his speech therapist (The King’s Speech). Relationship Driven Screenwrit‑ ing is a fresh way of looking at movies that allows you to develop meaningful characters, build an active story, write effective dialogue, and deliver a theme, all by way of that important, central vehicle. Through lectures and workshops, you apply this approach to your own material, crafting a full outline and thirty pages of your script, launch‑ ing your story and its relationships toward something incredible.

Writing Your First Streaming TV Series

3.0 units Developing a new scripted television or streaming series is more excit‑ ing than ever. 2019 saw 532 original series in the US. Just one decade earlier there were less than half that number. For writers, this means the demand for original scripted series is hotter than ever. It used to be the high concept, a.k.a. easy to pitch series was every writer’s goal. Pitches sounded something like: “She’s a regular girl in high school who just happens to be the vampire slayer.” With the advent of stream‑ ing services, audience viewing habits have changed dramatically. We now binge watch and can stream any genre we want at any given time, day or night, whether it be fall, summer, winter, or spring. Writers are now encouraged to pitch series beyond the high concept. Series with a unique vision or format and more depth in storytelling are welcome and sought after. This course teaches the basics of how to develop a scripted series in the current TV and streaming landscape. Students conceive creative ideas and develop them into viable series formats and concepts with the goal of having a pitch deck in hand by the end of the course. If you have been wanting to make your own original series, this course starts you on your way.

Crafting Powerful Dialogue

3.0 units Dialogue may seem to be the easiest and most fun aspect of screen‑ writing (look at all those pages fly by, and with so much white space!), yet it’s often the most difficult thing for the aspiring screenwriter to do well. Great dialogue is a vital vehicle for developing character, enhanc‑ ing plot, and speaking to theme, among its many other uses. This course explores all of dialogue’s functions in depth and provides you with the pragmatic skill set that will make your dialogue more effective and make it snap, crackle, and pop on the page. Through writing exercises, analysis of screenplay pages and classic clips from both features and TV, and a dialogue diary that will help you develop an ear for good conversation, you sharpen and hone your dialogue prow‑ ess, and you put your new skills to work on your own projects, both present and future.

Creating Memorable Characters Through Their Core

3.0 units Memorable stories are grounded by great characters. The core of who those characters are drive the story, but characters need to take action, and those actions need to ring true to their core as they move from one plot point to the next. Why is your character making that specific choice at a particular moment? What’s their motivation? Whether you are finished with a draft or just have a nugget of an idea, the core of your characters must be excavated. Through examples, discussions, and writing exercises, you discover your characters’ needs, wants, and drives. You flush out how your characters think and feel to discover who they are fundamentally. You also address how the core elements of your characters influence plot and structure and discover ways to reveal that through action and dialogue. The goal of this course is to chart the emotional journey of your protagonist character and leave with tools that can be applied to make every character, regardless of how big or small, play meaningful roles in your story.

3.0 units A new television show has exactly one shot at survival: its pilot epi‑ sode. If the viewer isn’t grabbed in the first hour, they’re gone forever. But what is a pilot? How is it different from all other forms of screen‑ writing? What makes a good one work and a bad one fail? And how can you be sure yours is one of the winners? In this intense, informa‑ tive, and entertaining course, you learn everything you need to know about what goes into a winning pilot. You watch and dissect recent network and cable pilots; examine character, theme, and structure; and discuss which pilots best launched their respective series. Emphasis is on identifying the common structural elements of all successful pilots, gaining an understanding of “weekly franchise” versus “series mythology,” and crafting long-term character arcs. We also discuss and develop student pilot ideas, help you turn your idea into a concise “pitch document” (a two-to-three-page breakdown of concept, character, and weekly story structure), and give you the tools you need to make the big move from pitch document to pilot outline and script. The course features guest speakers who have written, directed, and/or produced their own network television pilots. Reg# 388778 Fee: $720 No refund after 5 Oct.

Half-Hour TV I

3.0 units This course teaches you how to create an airtight story and outline—the critical first step in writing a strong half-hour comedy script of an existing series and a process that makes writing your script much easier, faster, and more successful. You begin by learning how to pin‑ point what makes any half-hour comedy show tick, studying the appeal and quirkiness of the main characters, and identifying the unique spin shows put on their stories. You then focus on your own script for a current show, finding the story and identifying the comedy in it, learn‑ ing how to pitch it, and creating a workable outline from which to write. Instruction also covers the “need to know” business aspects of the half-hour show, such as the current use of spec scripts to get jobs and the basics of how a comedy writer works on staff, how freelance writers move onto staff, how a writing staff is structured, and how writers work collaboratively “in the room.” All student projects must focus on current shows from a list provided by the instructor; no pilots.
