Hot Groups and Hierarchies

4.0 units

Back in 1975, for a traditional industrial company, the ratio of stock market value (in dollars) to hard assets might run about one to one. Near the end of 2015, the equivalent ratio for Facebook, Bidu, and many newer companies was in the area of 60, 80, or even 100 to one. The new economy companies are outperforming traditional companies and even newer companies entering the marketplace at literally the speed of light. Substantial change is more than stock market valuations and new growth companies challenging traditional market leaders; it is about leadership styles, behaviors, and disciplines which push today’s growth companies to higher performance levels. Large, hierarchical, well ordered organizations are having to make room for small, egalitar ian, disordered hot groups. Hot groups may have their origins as teams, task forces, panels, boards, and committees, but hot groups are “task obsessed” necessities now for sustaining themselves and growing in this highly competitive, global, diverse, and fast paced “connected” world. This course provides a roadmap for developing, nurturing, and achieving significant organizational successes building and leading hot groups. We also study common pitfall in hierarchies with “toxic” leadership that destroyed major U.S. companies, such as Enron, Arthur Anderson, WorldCom, Adelphia Communications, Lehman Brothers, Refco, Fannie Mae, just to name a few. The well known international examples include Medici Bank (Italy), Qintex (Australia), Barings Bank (U.K), Bre X (Canada), HIH Insurance (Australia), Parmalat (Italy), Nortel (Canada), among many others. Toxic leadership examples can also extend to country leaders, Congressmen, local city officials, and leaders in small organizations with conflicts of interest, personality disorders, and behavioral issues. This course includes toxic leadership identifica tion tools and mitigation strategies.

4.0 units

This course is designed to provide students with the fundamental princi ples and practical skill sets to understand the diverse cultures that com prise the global workplace of the twenty first century. Participants discover “cultural proficiency,” the cutting edge approach to successfully navigating the intense diversity challenges of today’s interdependent global business community. This unique approach ensures effective communication by unraveling the complex cultural differences between individuals and the impact of cultural programming on different organizational cultures. Par ticipants learn strategies for accommodating diversity both within their own organization and between international organizations.

A majority of businesses fail within the first two years, and a significant percentage of the initial survivors don’t last much longer. There are many reasons for this, including inexperienced management, lack of sufficient capital, failure to do proper marketing, and a lack of financial competency. The bottom line is that most managers don’t know how to properly systematize, structure, and manage their businesses. They don’t know because they’re not aware of where or how to find this information. This course is designed to teach students how to properly structure, systematize, and manage a business of any size or type, service, or product and in any industry.

Project Planning with Microsoft Project®

4.0 units

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.

MGMT X 443.8

Controlling Change for On-Site Projects

4.0 units

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.

THE BIG IDEA: Talking with Impact

4.0 units

All of us have a unique insight, or a “Big Idea” that could change the world. The potential of our insight to inspire change depends on our ability to identify, articulate, and distill this “Big Idea” for an audience of one or one thousand. This class will use the tools and process of building a TED TALK to enhance and refine presentation literacy, result ing in nothing less than articulating a “Big Idea” that could change the world. Learn to create the most compelling way to engage your audi ence. Learn how to take the familiar and upend our understanding. Overturn our expectations. Provoke the unexpected response in the service of a call to action. We’re not out to create a lecture, pep talk, pitch, self promotion, sermon, or propaganda. This is about how each of us have the ability to ignite curiosity. To tell a story in the service of disrupting the status quo. To mine your expertise and experience from an unexpected angle, understandable to a 5th grader and challenging to an expert. Each student will present a polished, memorized 12 min ute TALK that crystallizes and articulates their “Big Idea.” This will be supported by life experience, objective data, and observation. Visual components to your talk will be discussed and integrated as appropri ate. Everyone has a TALK in them. How would you unearth and distill the essence of what you’ve learned from your life experience? What’s your point of view? What will make a difference? What do you pas sionately believe? What is your..BIG IDEA?

MGMT X 445.67 Logistics, Operations, Methods, and Systems in Supply Chain

4.0 units

Logistics classically refers to activities that are performed at the back end of the supply chain process such as shipping products and satisfying customers. In the past, logistics was viewed in a fragmented way, where such functions as transportation, warehousing, material handling, and documentation management were considered as sepa rate and standalone activities. Given the fact that we now live in the information age, the power of the computer, as well as an appreciation of the systems approach, a new respect for logistics as a discipline has developed. The various components of logistics are now viewed in terms of their interrelationships and how they collectively add value to the supply chain. This course provides an overview of the key ele ments of a successful logistics organization starting with a strategic decision on logistics design and concluding with day to day operation of a logistics system that meets both customer and company objec tives. Topics include location analysis (distribution centers and warehouses), transportation management, inventory management, international logistics, logistics technology, and warehouse manage ment. By course’s end, students have an increased knowledge of the dimensions of a logistics system that allows them to broaden their contributions to the supply chain.

Instruction features guest speakers, who work in various facets of the industry, to bring real world perspective to the topics.

Great Books from the World at Large: Latin America and Africa

5.0 units

As David Damrosch reminds us, “Reading a work from a different place and time involves a back and forth movement between the familiar and the unfamiliar. A view of the world is always a view from wherever we are, and we inevitably filter what we read through our own experi ence. But if we don’t impose our expectations onto the new work, its distinctive qualities will enlarge our field of vision.” The Latin American works we read and write about include stories by Jorge Luis Borges (Argentina), Carlos Fuentes (Mexico), and Gabriel Garcia Marquez (Colombia) about the discovery of the New World, European conquest, and the efforts to free Latin America from colonial imposition. The African works we read and write about include, in addition to stories by Chinua Achebe (Nigeria), Nadine Gordimer (South Africa), and Nugugiwa Thiong’o (Kenya) that protest colonization, call for indepen dence, and celebrate African pride, a play about British presence in West Africa (Death and the King’s Horseman) by Nobel Prize winner Wole Soyinka.

Sociology of Emotions

Are feelings innate and universal or socially created and historically and culturally determined? Generally seen as individually and privately experienced, emotions actually are deeply social. They are embedded in, constitutive of, and created by social interactions, social structures, and institutions. This course examines the relatively new field of the sociology of emotions from a constructionist and interactionist per spective. Instruction addresses such issues as definition and labeling of emotions, social and cultural construction of emotion, sociohistori cal contextualization of emotion, and possible practical uses of a sociological study of emotions. Our explorations focus on contempo rary American society, but also include examples from other eras and cultures to illustrate the socially constructed, experienced, and expressed nature of emotions. c

Conversations about Language: Questioning Everyday Beliefs

People often think of themselves as fairly knowledgeable about lan guage, but we might ask if common views and everyday ideas about language correspond to established linguistic research. In this course, we compare a number of widely held beliefs about language with what linguistics teaches us about these topics. For example, many think that children need explicit instruction while learning their first language. Some people believe that certain types of English are appropriately designated as “bad” English. Women are assumed to talk more than men. Others think that language change is a problem for the future of English. Examining these sorts of assumptions about language provides participants the opportunity to reflect on their own opinions and discover what linguistics contributes to the discussion.

The Mexican Muralists

The Mexican Muralist tradition was born from the Mexican Revolution of 1910 1920, after which the new government commissioned works of public art that addressed the political and social transformation of the modern age. Large scale murals executed in techniques including fresco, encaustic, mosaic, and relief supported the values of the revo lution and the Mexican identity, which included a broader knowledge of revolutionary history and the Mexican people’s pre Columbian past. In this course, we explore how the Mexican Muralists often used large scale murals in order to convey their messages, as public murals could be viewed by the general public, regardless of social class. Addition ally, we study the contributions of Frida Kahlo. Although not a member of the Mexican Muralists per se, her works are part of the larger context of this group of revolutionary artists.

Revolutionary Lives:

Tom Paine and Benedict Arnold

In this course, we tackle the lives of two lesser known figures of the American Revolution: Tom Paine, the author of Common Sense; and Benedict Arnold, the most famous turncoat in American history. In the first half, we look at Paine’s meteoric rise to celebrity status during the American Revolution and his equally dramatic fall from grace in the decades afterwards. Once lionized as our most relatable and revolu tionary founding father, Tom Paine died a pariah, too radical and uncompromising for the cautious new country he had called into being. In the second half, we reconstruct the life and times of Benedict Arnold, who as a skilled officer in George Washington’s Continental Army, began secretly communicating with British intelligence agents, giving them insider information and dramatically defecting to their side in return for a mountain of cash. We examine the reasons for this treason, and the larger problems of betrayal and desertion that dogged the Continental Army throughout the war. This course will be recorded.

Tracy and Hepburn

One of the most celebrated but forbidden love affairs in film history occurred off screen between Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn. Surely, the forbidden, naughty, but profoundly pleasurable experience that these two fine actors delivered in many films one actor single, the other married to a Catholic woman, contributed a special excite ment. Who could resist, then or now? In this course, we watch six of their movies. In Adam’s Rib (1949), they play opposing lawyers in a case involving a woman who shot her husband. In Pat and Mike (1952), a brilliant athlete (Hepburn) enlists the help of a slightly shady sports promoter player (Tracy). Woman of the Year (1942) is a tale of chal lenged gender roles between a sophisticated political journalist (Hepburn) and a sportswriter with traditional values (Tracy). In Without Love (1945), a widow (Hepburn) decides to do her patriotic duty by marrying a military scientist (Tracy). In Keeper of the Flame (1942), a reporter (Tracy) digs into the secret life of a recently deceased political hero, whose widow (Hepburn) holds his ugly secrets; and in Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner (1967), they play the parents of a daughter who introduces them to her African American fiancé (Sidney Poitier).

As California developed from its Mission period to a rapidly developing economy, Southern California expanded because of its climate and its agricultural potential; as well as its opportunities for easy wealth, health, vacation destinations, and romance. In this course, we look at how Southern California developed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries; and explore a variety of architectural styles from East Coast inspired Victorians, to restful Arts and Crafts bungalows, to Romantic Revivals that were inspired by nostalgic recreations of times past. This course also incorporates the stories of California pioneers who developed the infrastructure of the Southern California that we know today. This course will be recorded.

Social Controversies in Film

Movies can take us out of ourselves for a couple of hours, but they can also make us look inside ourselves and our society and influence our beliefs about issues. In this course, we view and discuss five movies centered on issues that fuel passionate debate. We begin in the early 20 th century with the silent film, Where Are My Children (1916), about the community fall out upon discovering its women are illegally procuring abortions from a local doctor. Moving to mid cen tury, Panic in the Streets (1950) follows a doctor and policeman who have 48 hours to contain a potential pandemic. We then watch three films made in the 21 st century: Vegucated (2011), a documentary that follows three individuals who agree to adopt a vegan diet for six weeks and the ethical issues they encounter; Escape Fire: The Fight to Rescue American Healthcare (2012), an investigative documentary that uncov ers the U.S. healthcare system’s true design; and David Attenborough: A Life on Our Planet (2020), a documentary in which Attenborough recounts his life and the evolutionary history of life on Earth to grieve the loss of wild places.

Women in Religion

In the late twentieth century, the rise of the feminist movement and women’s studies engendered a deeper look into the impact of various religious traditions on women’s lives. Scholarship founded on this knowledge has since become an imperative in the study of religions. Using current studies of archaeology and anthropology, our historical review begins in prehistory with cultures that worshipped the sacred as feminine. From there, we describe the gradual change to male oriented institutions, chronicling the Judeo Christian Islamic traditions. Finally, we discuss women who affected the practice and study of religion, and the feminine sacred in the contemporary world and in other major world religions.

New York City has a long history of producing and supporting art. Known as a world renowned destination for art since the 1940s, the city boasts the first encyclopedic art museum in the country and hosts some of the best art collections in the world. In this course, we armchair travel to New York to see highlights of the most notable collections and how they got there. Driven by the Gilded Age millionaires of the 19th century, we start with the foundation of the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the noted collections of J. P. Morgan, John D. Rockefeller, and Henry Clay Frick. Our exploration ranges from looking at the medieval masterpieces held in the Cloisters to the establishment of the first Modern art museum, while looking at the collectors who brought them there and the artists who created them.

Gustav Mahler

Since around 1960, the music of Gustav Mahler has played a vital role in the symphonic repertoire of numerous orchestras throughout Europe and the United States. While the momentous revival of his music has been credited to the pioneering performances of Leonard Bernstein, a public interest in the works of Mahler had been growing for some time before the 1960s. Today, his symphonies are considered some of the most important in classical music. In this course, we study the symphonies and song cycles of Mahler that exemplify the bright spark of artistic creativity that characterized the fin de siècle before the two world wars.This course will be recorded.

The High Renaissance

The High Renaissance is considered the culmination of the goals and techniques developed during the Early Renaissance. Centered in Rome, it lasted from about 1490 to the Sack of Rome in 1527. While earlier Renaissance artists would stress the perspective of a work and the technical aspects of a painting, High Renaissance artists were willing to sacrifice technical principles in order to create a more beautiful, harmonious whole. In this course, we explore the factors that contributed to this development, including the introduction of oil paint and a growth in the number and diversity of patrons. We study the artists most well known and featured during this phase Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Raphael in Rome, Titian in Venice and their paintings, frescoes, and sculptures, which are among the most widely known works of art in the world. Da Vinci’s Last Supper, Raphael’s The School of Athens and Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel ceiling paintings are the masterpieces of this period and embody the elements of the High Renaissance.

International Cinema Series:

Humanist Tales of the Old World

The International Cinema Series is a showcase of critically acclaimed films from around the world including classic, foreign, independent and mainstream works carefully selected for their cultural signifi cance, entertaining value, and their ability to use film language cre atively. This edition includes six films written and directed by some of the most creative European filmmakers of our times, such as Jaco van Dormael, Patrice LeConte and Josef von Sternberg. Their stories couldn’t be more different a documentary on the adventurous life of ItalianTruffle Hunters; the drama of a former Russian officer who thinks he’s fighting a real war while on the set of a war movie (The Last Command); a comedy on the daily predicaments of God, who works from his apartment in Brussels (The Brand New Testament); the chance encounter between a knife thrower and a suicidal young suicidal woman (The Girl on the Bridge); and a family reunion on the death anniversary of a famous Latin Lover. However, the final message behind these unique tales shares the same humanist approach: the idea that we have the personal ability and social responsibility to lead ethical lives, seek knowledge, and create a more humane society for the greater good.

Frank Sinatra: The One and Only

Frank Sinatra never needed an introduction when he appeared in nightclubs, saloons, on concert stages, or on movie screens. Sinatra was always the center of attention. Through various stories and video clips, we look at this complicated man’s life from his humble begin nings in Hoboken, New Jersey to ‘New York, New York’, to Hollywood. He was known as ‘the voice, the ‘chairman of the board’ or ‘Ol’ Blue Eyes’. Whatever the title, he was the defining voice of the twentieth century and the most celebrated entertainer of his time. It’s been almost twenty years since his six decade career ended and yet his voice is still very much with us every day. In fact, it probably will be as long as songs continue to be sung. He is “Sinatra The One and Only.”Frank Sinatra never needed an introduction when he appeared in nightclubs, saloons, on concert stages, or on movie screens.

Inventing the Presidency: Washington, Adams and Jefferson

In this course, we examine the creation of the US Constitution in 1787 and its implementation in 1789 and beyond, with special emphasis on their administrations covering the crucial formative years of 1789 to 1809. We explore the challenges that Washington faced as the first president, the critical precedents set by all three, and the foreign and domestic challenges each faced. We also analyze the long term lega cies they left both in the institution of the presidency as well as in the broader course of American history generally.

What Marco Polo Ate: A Culinary Odyssey

The Travels of Marco Polo is arguably the greatest travelogue in western literature. Polo provides vivid, first hand descriptions of the myriad places he lived and visited, the numerous people he met and observed, and the diverse cultures he encountered. These descriptions included the food and drink he consumed, some of which were little known or entirely unknown in Europe at that time; for example, kumiss, or wine made from the milk of mares. In this course, we follow his route and explore the food of his native Venice, which boasted one of the most sophisticated cuisines in Europe at the time, the food and food ways of various countries of the Middle East, the steppes of central Asia, the court of the great Kublai Khan, ruler of the largest contiguous empire in human history, where Polo served as a member of the khan’s Privy Council, and various other parts of China, as well as the foods he encountered in southeast Asia and India. In many instances, modern equivalents of these foods will be discussed.

Powerful Characters in Film and Theatre

The ingredients of drama were created in ancient Greece by Aristotle and have not changed. In this course, we analyze how characters continue to be the driving force, the flesh and blood, and the voice and soul of drama. We are the sleuths who shall discover these actors and the drama in which they are caught. Methinks it will change one’s viewing of a play or film hereafter, seeing how drama is verbal, visual, and visceral; as we rip off those famous masks of tragedy and comedy the Greeks used as a symbol for the theatre.

Best American Essays, Part 3

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, Richard Rodriguez’s “Aria,” is a poignant memoire about his memory of a bilingual childhood. In “A Drugstore in Winter,” Cynthia Ozick writes, “This is about reading; a drugstore in winter; the gold leaf on the dome of the Boston State House; also loss, panic and dread.” In “The Creation Myths of Cooperstown,” Stephen Jay Gould writes that the “Cardiff Giant, the best American entry for the title of paleontological hoax turned into cultural history, now lies on display in a shed behind a barn at the Farmer’s Museum in Cooperstown, New York.” And in Graven Images,” Saul Bellow calls photography “modern image making or idolatry,” and his intent “is to triumph over the photographers’ vision of me.” Suggested book: The Best American Essays of the Century ed. Joyce Carol Oates.

The Least Dangerous Branch: Politics and the Supreme Court

Alexander Hamilton predicted that in the US system of government, the judiciary would be the “least dangerous branch” due to its lack of political power to enforce its orders and the ever present ability of the people to amend the Constitution. In this course, we examine the current trend of the Court considering its decisions in the current and recent terms. We also discuss whether the safeguards that the Found ers created in the Constitution are effective nearly 240 years after ratification.

Art Now: Virtual Visits with Working Artists

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. Between sessions, recaps are pro vided to augment contextual readings of the presentations. Discussion is encouraged as it inspires further observation and awareness.

Keeping Fit Over 50

It is commonly believed that as we age, we lose muscle mass and the ability to move as fast and fluidly as when we were younger. Wrong! We lose this ability only if we do not put effort into moving our bodies. Unless we move it, we lose it. This course focuses on techniques we can use to motivate ourselves to move more in order to increase our good health. Besides a lecture, we take walks around the block to show you techniques on how to move from a stroll to a beneficial workout. Walking briskly is something most of us can do, and with the proper technique will keep us in fantastic shape.

The Butler Did It..or did He?

Reading play scripts can be challenging, because at first, you might feel like you’re reading a set of instructions. Most plays contain dia logue along with cold, calculating stage directions. Yet, a play can be a moving literary experience. In this course, we read mystery scripts aloud some of the best whodunits ever written, starting with Agatha Christie’s Mousetrap. We then see how mysteries have evolved over the years by reading aloud and discussing Joe DiPietro’s Art of Murder

At the beginning of each class, we do vocal and physical warm ups, as well as some improvisational games to free up our spirits and voices and hearts. And in the process of reading, we learn how to be more expressive and how an actor makes decisions concerning the creation of a character. Whether you had the lead in your high school musical or never acted before, this course will kindle or rekindle in you the joy and excitement of reading a script aloud.

Revision in Speculative Fiction

Revising a short story for publication can feel extremely personal and intuitive how do I know it’s done? While there are plenty of craft tips and tricks with polishing a short story, speculative fiction stories have their own set of genre tropes to contend with. In this course, you’ll learn how to implement already existing tips on style, voice, and structure to your short story to intensify the non naturalist elements in your pieces for genre magazines and literary journals open to non naturalist works. We’ll cover how to world build effectively, maintain pacing and tension with patterns of unease and pleasure, address and enhance characters’ relationships and interactions, escalate conflict and drama, streamline specific scenes, elevate the dialogue, and best highlight your themes, all while staying true to the essence of your story as you take it to the next level. With the use of lectures, analyzing drafts of published pieces in both literary and genre magazines, and tips from editors of genre magazines, you get a first hand experience on the drafting and revision process of a speculative short story and knowledge of when and where to submit.

After all the work of getting through a first draft, little seems so bar baric as the slashing and burning of entire characters and scenes but making such vulgar literary sacrifices can enable the writer to unearth the heart of conflict and character, find focus in each scene, and harness the best story s/he can offer. In this workshop, participants undertake two rigorous revisions, sticking with a draft all the way through to its best potential. By considering various elements of sto rytelling and developing dexterity with an assortment of narrative tools and techniques, students should finish the class with a story that’s really on course to being done.

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.

Memoir and Personal Essay Weekend Workshop

1.5 units

Everyone has a story (and often many stories) to tell, whether your life has been a wild ride or a quiet stroll. This course is designed for those interested in learning more about the similarities and differences between the two forms and how to explore and shape your stories. Through exercises, prompts, and workshop, you begin work on several stories; you may develop some of these into longer pieces, while others may simply get your creative juices flowing. Because both personal essay and memoir call upon the writer to dig deep and hover patiently over the material of memory, this weekend’s worth of writing and exploration gives you tools for staying the course long after the actual class has finished.

Proof-reading Clinic

It’s often challenging for writers to read their own work as if they don’t already know what it says, or is *supposed* to say. But the writer’s true job is to coherently move ideas from their brains into their read ers’ brains with only markings on screen or paper to complete that feat. If you think about it, it’s remarkable that humans can achieve this communicative magic at all, let alone often and well. In this three hour workshop, writer bring their own work (500 words max, prose or in screenplay format) and first watch me proof/edit “live” the first 250 (PDF files only), then they proof/edit the rest of that piece. Along the way, they’ll learn professional proof reading techniques and notations. This will include explanations regarding the how’s and why’s for each editorial suggestion, and will be targeted to screen writers, not grammarians.

Formatting Your Script Like a Pro

1.0 units

There are two key factors that determine the success of your script when it’s about to be read by a script reader, producer, director, agent, or any other Hollywood executive: Does it “look” professional on the page? And is it a great read? Both are affected by the formatting of your script, and it takes more than using screenwriting software to get it right. Screenplay formatting is an industry standard practice that allows a writer to accurately communicate their stories to readers in this collaborative medium. Without adhering to this standard, scripts become indecipherable and distract the reader from the story, charac ters, and world you are trying to convey. In this course, you learn not only how to properly format scene headings, action lines, characters, dialogue, parentheticals and transitions, but why these are industry standards. Even with screenwriting software, writers still struggle with the intricacies of formatting as it relates to clarity, succinctness, and the reader’s emotional experience. You also learn how to spot formatting red flags that prejudge your script as amateurish, and explore advanced techniques that help you direct and edit on the page without the use of camera directions and other technical jargon.

for Getting Representation

Understanding how Hollywood operates is crucial for any new screen writer seeking agents and managers for representation. First, you must know the differences between the roles an agent plays versus a manager. Furthermore, differentiating between power agents, boutique agents, and managers who act like agents empowers you to find the representation that is right for you. Special attention is paid to prepar ing your script for agency submission to demystify what reps really look for in their next hot writing client, as this can be different from what development executives and buyers look for. While it’s true that formulaic scripts tend to sell better in Tinseltown, this course also covers strategies for writers who seek representation with more character driven indies in their portfolios.

Character-Driven Scenes

2.0 units

David Mamet said, “If you’re bored by a scene, so is your audience.” Every scene in a script serves a purpose. When they are character driven, they keep us emotionally invested and engaged with the story. Individual scenes have a lot of moving pieces, from how they are structured to what they reveal about the external and internal con flicts of the characters. In this course, we look at the essence of scenes from where they start and end to their three act structure. We examine scenes in movies and TV shows to identify their purpose, what the arc of a scene reveals about character, and how it advances the story. Students learn the essential components of a scene and the questions that each scene needs to ask and answer in order to tell compelling stories. By the end of the course, you have 2 3 rewrit ten or original scenes for your current project and a map to link those scenes into a sequence.

Writing for games requires an understanding of structure that goes beyond linear storytelling. From the early days of tabletop gaming to more recent hits like Mass Effect and Fallout, writers are expected to hold many possible worlds with multiple branching story points in their heads. And to ultimately translate those concepts into actionable materials. In this course, you explore the nature of interactive story by working in multiple different formats (choose your own adventure, virtual novels, the Telltale style, etc.) and writing games that exemplify the fundamental concepts of branching narrative. The course goal is to develop a vocabulary for interactive fiction and to write a game in the format of your choosing that can be used as a calling card for future work.

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.

Script doctors are the unsung heroes of the script development phase. They come in at the last minute to fix a script before production can start, and they often remain anonymous or uncredited (but get paid well for that). In this course, you learn the difference between a script analyst, script consultant, and script doctor, and how script doctors address the rewriting or polishing process of a script. We cover how to deepen concept and world, fix structure, enhance and flesh out characters, address characters’ relationships and interactions, escalate conflict and drama, work on specific scenes, elevate the dialogue, and best tackle and exploit theme, all while staying true to the essence of the script assigned to doctor as you take it to the next level. With the use of lectures, script readings/analysis, and practical workshops, you get a first hand experience on the life of a script doctor and how to have a future career as one.

SCRIPT X 421.1

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 pinpoint 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, learning 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.

Dramedy TV III

With the rising popularity of the dramedy in today’s TV landscape, the opportunities for stories in this hybrid genre have never been greater for storytellers. In this course, many misconceptions of what a dram edy is will be dispelled while exploring the boundaries of what’s possible within the format. A dramedy pilot is not just drama with some comedic elements or a comedy with serious subject matter. A true dramedy requires equal parts of both distinct genres in plot elements, including a deep emphasis on character development and inner conflict to enrich the story. By the end of the course, you have a solid understanding of how to combine drama and comedy genres and complete an outline for a one hour or half hour limited or open ended series that best exemplifies the story you want to write.
