Leadership Behaviors, Diversity, and Cultures

4.0 units This is a collaborative course that examines what constitutes “effec‑ tive” leadership across cultures. The underlying theme is that the skills and behaviors that are perceived as effective leadership characteris‑ tics in one culture are not necessarily those that will be effective in a different culture. By exploring the ways in which specific characteris‑ tics are valued differently by different cultures, you acquire frameworks for assessing how to approach a work assignment in a culture that is not your own. Everyone is expected to work in cross-cultural groups to the extent possible based on enrollments. The weekly readings target particular aspects of cultural differentiation. Working within those topics, the student teams are asked to describe aspects of leadership in particular cultures based on their research and/or per‑ sonal experiences. Students use both formal presentations and informal discussions to engage each other in learning about different cultural expectations. The goal of the course is to help prepare stu‑ dents for business assignments outside of their native countries. Reg# 394966 Fee: $855 No refund after 2 Feb.

Influencer Marketing: Employing Influencers

2.0 units Today’s consumers are dispersed over thousands of media platforms that are saturated with content and advertising. That’s why marketers are struggling to even generate awareness, least of all sales, on a cost-effective basis.

Successful influencer marketing, however, requires more than merely asking social media stars to endorse a product. Without a well-planned strategy based on critical evaluation, market‑ ers risk losing money, time, and opportunities; damaging their brands; and even violating federal regulations. In this course, students learn how to research, evaluate, and employ the right influencers for their markets and how to legally and strategically integrate them into marketing campaigns that achieve specific goals.

Managing Global Outsourced Projects

4.0 units Outsourcing has become a way of life in the twenty-first century. Much of the project work that used to be proposed, planned, implemented, and controlled inside an organization is now being partially or com‑ pletely performed at domestic and foreign suppliers.

This course is designed to help you increase your satisfaction levels with project outputs that enhance your effectiveness as a buyer and seller of products or services, especially for large contracts that include sub‑ contractors and a supply chain of vendors.

Project Planning with Microsoft Project

MGMT 843.1A

®

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. Reg# 395590 Fee: $1,099 No refund after 6 Nov. to 14 Jan.

Masters of Design Cover Series

0.1 CEUs The covers of the UCLA Extension course catalog have featured the works of several of the world’s best-known graphic designers, beginning in 1990 with Paul Rand and continuing today with luminaries in the design world. With his snow-capped orange for the Winter Quarter 1990 cover, Rand not only set the quality standard for the covers, but his participation also encouraged other noteworthy designers to follow his lead. Such legends as Saul Bass, Lou Danziger, Frank Gehry, Ivan Cher‑ mayoff, Eiko Ishioka, Henry Wolf, George Tscherney, and Milton Glaser are among the esteemed cohort of designers who have created covers. The collection has been shown in exhibitions and includes not just posters but also sculptures, interactive projects, and installations. Top designers consider the invitation to design the UCLA Extension catalog cover an honor they are unlikely to refuse. In this 60-minute seminar, join Visual Arts department director and curator of the series, Scott Hutchinson, and this quarter’s master cover designer to explore the inspiration for the current cover, the educational and “real world” experi‑ ences that have shaped the designer’s career, and a Q&A session.

The essential question for this course is: How do I differentiate instruction for the learners present in my classroom? 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 induc‑ tion mentor, and (c) the course’s essential question regarding knowing your students and creating effective learning environments for all students: a) In consultation 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 con‑ nected 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 improving 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; d) Use a plan-teach-reflect-apply 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 are applied to ongoing practices to differentiate instruction, as well as initial ideas for a capstone project that are completed in the final course of the program.

4.0 units For decades, the Lean and Six Sigma methodologies have been help‑ ing organizations meet and exceed customer requirements while becoming more efficient and profitable. Lean and Six Sigma help organizations develop and deliver near-perfect products and services. Lean is a term developed by Toyota that focuses on the relentless pursuit of removing waste from business practices. The term “Sigma” is a statistical term that measures how far a given process deviates from perfection. The central idea behind Six Sigma is that if you can measure how many defects you have in a process, you can systemati‑ cally determine how to eliminate them, getting as close to “zero defects” as possible. This course demonstrates advanced Lean and Six Sigma tools and techniques. Students learn to document enter‑ prise-level processes, identify the steps necessary to implement a Lean Six Sigma system, as well as learn how to teach and mentor in the workplace.

Technology and Cost Management in the Supply Chain

4.0 units Many supply chain practitioners do a competent job of converting organizational requirements to purchase orders, sourcing and selecting suppliers, and developing operational schedules. In today’s rapidly changing technological and financial environment, however, supply chain professionals need to do more. They need to under‑ stand the role that information technology plays in purchasing and, specifically, how to use enterprise resource planning (ERP), bar coding, electronic data interchange (EDI), and electronic commerce (e-commerce). Employees in the supply chain need to evaluate suppliers’ capabilities by investigating their commitment to Six Sigma, statistical process control (SPC), and ability to maintain a quality system (ISO 9001). Supply chain professionals must also have a firm grasp on how their job duties affect organizational financial activities and be able to assess suppliers’ financial health. This course provides essential information that elevates a supply chain practitioner to the next level. Instruction assists them in assimilating new information in the areas of information technology, quality, logistics, inventory, and financial management. Reg# 395249 Fee: $999 No refund after 14 Jan.

Supply Chain Inventory Management

4.0 units Managing inventory has been likened to a circus performer walking on a high wire 100 feet above the ground. The same balance is required to effectively manage inventory. If you increase it too much, you create excess inventory that upsets the organization, and if you decrease it too much, your customers will not be happy. As a supply chain practitioner, you can probably relate to this scenario. Managing inventory is all about maintaining a happy medium, and this course equips you with the knowledge to help achieve the right levels of inventory. Learn why there is such a controversy over the nature of inventory (if it’s good or bad), discover how you can eliminate the annual physical inventory through cycle counting, discover why accurate computer inventory balances do not mean much without sound procedures and effective physical inventory control practice, and learn how to scientifically set safety stock. Other topics include the relationship of Lean/Just In Time (JIT) to inventory, the benefits of the economic order quantity (EOQ) and economic production quantity (EPQ), the difference between independent and dependent demand, and how to use vendor-managed inventory (VMI).

5.0 units This course studies the seminal texts of Western civilization from the Jewish, Classical, Christian, and Germanic worlds that together form the foundation of modern thought and life. Without these works, we would literally not be who we are. They define us and the way we look at ourselves, raising questions we continue to ask, such as: What does it mean to be godly or ungodly? To be good or evil? To be part of history or to stand outside it? To live in harmony with nature and its creator or creators? These questions have never gone away and they appear in their clearest light in the literary and social contexts in which they first were asked. The class reads Genesis, Homer’s The Odyssey, Sophocles’s Oedipus the King, Plato’s Apology, the Book of Job, Virgil’s The Aeneid, selections from the New Testament, Augus‑ tine’s Confessions, and Beowulf.

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.

The Musée de l’Orangerie features a wonderful collection of Impres‑ sionist, Post-Impressionist and early 20th century works in a small palatable museum with an interesting history. Located in the west corner of the Tuileries Garden a short walk away from the Louvre in Paris, the gallery is the permanent home of eight large Water Lilies paintings by Claude Monet—set into an environment which he designed — as well as art dealer Paul Guillaume’s collection. Featuring the largest collection of paintings by Andre Derain, the main Jean Walter and Paul Guillaume collections were added to the museum, enhancing the collection exponentially with 19th and 20th century works by artists such as Paul Cezanne, Henri Matisse, Amedeo Modi‑ gliani and Maurice Utrillo, among others. In this course, we explore the history of Monet’s Water Lilies and its journey to be displayed at l’Orangerie. We also look at the career of Paul Guillaume and how he built up his collection, and the controversy of his widow giving it to the French State. Representing the height of the avant-garde in 20th century Paris, the museum gives a wonderful overview of the varying artistic developments emerging and happening in Paris.

The Sistine Ceiling

The Sistine Chapel at the Vatican was finished in 1480 to little fanfare, but when the ceiling was painted by Michelangelo in 1508, the Chapel entered the annals of art history. The painting was hailed by all who saw it and continues to enjoy its reputation as the most famous paint‑ ing in the world. In this course, we look at the Chapel to discover its history, previous decoration and learn how Michelangelo’s passion (and talent) drove him to spend a challenging four years creating it for the church and the pope. We carefully explore each section of the ceiling to understand how it fits into the overall program—a biblical account of man’s need for salvation from God. We also learn about Michelangelo’s Last Judgement, painted on the end wall many years later. Finally, we consider the many restorations throughout history, including the most recent in the 1980s that returned the ceiling’s glori‑ ous original colors painted by Michelangelo.

The Unimaginable Journey of Peter Ertel

Amid great evil, it is the courageous man or woman who refuses to succumb, and Peter Ertel was one such man. Forced to serve in the German army despite his open contempt for the Nazis and his refusal to kill the enemy, Ertel would not only miraculously survive World War II but would also be regarded as family by his Jewish employers. The Unimaginable Journey of Peter Ertel is a riveting, award-winning account of the life of a man who defied insurmountable odds in an unforgiving environment and who later found peace in America. This film combines archive footage—much of which has never been shown— with Ertel’s own telling of his extraordinary odyssey. Winner of the David Ponce Best of the Fest Award at the 2017 Chagrin Documentary Film Festival, the Founders’ Choice Award at the 2016 G.I.

The Wearin’ O’ The Green

As the tradition goes, wearing green on St. Patrick’s Day supposedly makes you invisible to leprechauns. In this course, we explore how artists used green to create symbolism, emotions and socio-political meanings within the context of the period in which they created their works of art. We look at how artists utilized their knowledge of color to portray mood, light, depth and point of view in their creations. We discuss the meaning of green in a variety of paintings to understand the artists’ intention and the stories behind the paintings. To complete our study, we cover the history of St. Patrick’s Day and how the saint and the celebration have been depicted throughout art history. Reg# 395040 Fee: $15 No refund after enrollment.

Social Controversies in Film, Part 2

While movies can serve as entertainment, they can also make us look inside ourselves and influence our beliefs. In this course, we view and discuss six movies that challenge us to look at critical issues the U.S. faces. We begin with Imitation of Life (1934), starring Claudette Colbert, Louise Beavers and Fredi Washington, in which differences in skin color lead to tragic consequences. Disclosure: Trans Lives on Screen (2020) is a documentary that provides an in-depth look at Hollywood’s depic‑ tion of transgender people and the impact of their stories on transgen‑ der lives and American culture. The Social Dilemma (2020), blends documentary investigation with narrative drama to disrupt the disrup‑ tors and show the impact of social media on democracies. Heroin(e) (2017) follows a fire chief, a judge and a street missionary—all women— as they help people struggling with opioid addiction in Huntington, West Virginia; it was nominated for the Academy Award for best docu‑ mentary short subject. Period. End of Sentence. (2018) is a short film about Indian women leading a quiet revolution about their periods that has relevance to our own society and which also won the Academy Award for best documentary short subject. Our final film, 13th (2016), is a powerful documentary directed by Ava DuVernay that explores the intersection of race, justice and mass incarceration in the U.S. Part 1 is not necessary to participate and enjoy the films in this course.

Jazz can be a mystery to even the most ardent music lover. In this course, we demystify the various styles and genres, leaving you with a clear understanding and a lasting appreciation of the art form. We follow the evolution of jazz from its origins right up until today—a musical journey that covers more than one hundred years as it swings, sings, and plays it hot and cool. We explore the New Orleans Jazz of King Oliver and Louis Armstrong; the Big Bands of Duke Ellington, Benny Goodman and Stan Kenton; Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie’s Bebop to the Post-Bop era of Miles and Coltrane; the West Coast Cool Jazz of Gerry Mulligan and Dave Brubeck; the East Coast Hard Bop of Horace Silver, Sonny Rollins and Thelonious Monk; and Modern/Free Jazz with Ornette Coleman and Eric Dolphy. In the mid-1980’s, the inclusion of new technologies led to the Fusion Jazz of Michael Brecker and Pat Matheny, then on to New Age and the extraordinary contem‑ porary artists. This course is an informative and fun way to both listen to jazz and gain a real understanding of a uniquely American art form. This course will be recorded.

This course traces the roots, birth and development of big band jazz. We begin in the 1920s, when band leaders such as Fletcher Hender‑ son and Duke Ellington found ways to incorporate jazz improvisation and Louis Armstrong’s rhythmic innovations into their ensembles. We look at Benny Goodman’s 1935 engagement at Los Angeles’ Palomar Ballroom that marked the start of the swing era, and the next ten years in which big bands dominated popular music through the likes of Goodman, Ellington, Count Basie, Tommy Dorsey, Artie Shaw, Glenn Miller, and dozens more. Then, as popular tastes changed after World War II, we explore the new bands that adapted to the evolving jazz styles and showcased the creativity of many important arrangers and bandleaders including Dizzy Gillespie, Stan Kenton, Boyd Raeburn, Gil Evans, Shorty Rogers, Maynard Ferguson, Terry Gibbs, Gerry Mul‑ ligan, Thad Jones-Mel Lewis, Quincy Jones and many more.

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 maleoriented 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.

Amsterdam and The Netherlands are home to some of the most renown collections of art in the world, including the largest collections of their native artists Rembrandt, Piet Mondrian and Vincent van Gogh. In this course, we virtually visit several of the most renown museums to understand the history of Dutch art through their collections. Start‑ ing with the Rijksmuseum, we explore the Dutch Golden Age of art before heading to the capital of The Hague to look at the Vermeers and Judith Leysters housed in the Mauritshuis. Back in Amsterdam, our tour continues with the Van Gogh Museum and then on to the second largest collection of Van Gogh paintings at the unique KröllerMüller Museum in Otterlo. Staying focused on mostly Dutch art, we end with a return to the Hague to view the evolution of Piet Mondrian through the collections at the Kunstmuseum Den Haag.

Fritz Lang

By the time Fritz Lang arrived in the United States, he was already well known for the spectacular silent epics, sci-fi films, and psychological thrillers he had directed in Germany. His contribution to classical Hollywood cinema further cemented his fame with several film noirs, war movies and a few Westerns. The resulting 46 movies were pro‑ duced in different countries and covered a wide range of topics and genres. However, Lang’s dark stories of present and future worlds share socio-political concerns that are still relevant today, whether they focus on criminals and psychological manipulators hiding in the shadows of his highly praised mise-en-scène, or on monsters hiding in plain sight (e.g. law-abiding citizens who succumb to the lowest impulses when transformed and assimilated into a crowd). In this course, we analyze these and other thematic concerns through a close reading of the following films: Metropolis, M, Fury, The Woman in the Window, Ministry of Fear and The Blue Gardenia.

Hosting a variety of world class collections, London is an art lover’s mecca. As of 2016, there were more than 250 registered art institutions in Greater London. Boasting an interesting history of art patronage, importation of art in addition to its own artistic production, there is a definite European flair to the art in London. In this course, we travel virtually through London, visiting different art museums and collec‑ tions to examine some of the highlights and how they got there. While some of these were produced in London by British artists, we explore how others made their way into these collections by various means. Some of these collections include the works of Anthony van Dyck and Artemisia Gentileschi collected by King Charles I and The Swing by Fragonard in The Wallace Collection. Also included is the interesting array of art, including notable works by William Hogarth, in Sir John Soane’s Museum. Reg# 395119 Fee: $115 No refund after 19 Jan.

Jazz came out of a mixture of blues, ragtime, brass-bands and synco‑ pated dance music in New Orleans at the turn of the last century. This revised course covers the pillars of both musical forms—jazz with Louis Armstrong and Jellyroll Morton and the blues with Bessie Smith, Robert Johnson and B.B. King. We then follow jazz as it moves upriver to Chicago to hear Eddie Condon and Bix Beiderbecke; then New York, where it burst forth from the big bands of Basie, Ellington, Goodman, and Dorsey with vocalists Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday. In Califor‑ nia, we explore bebop with Dizzy Gillespie and Charlie “Bird” Parker and cool jazz with Chet Baker and Dave Brubeck. Finally, we look at how jazz is evolving in the twenty-first century with a new breed of musicians who are creating an innovative sound that challenges convention and defies categorization.

The Television Canon of Norman Lear

In the span of a 70-year career, producer Norman Lear shaped and then re-shaped the American television landscape. Lear arrived in Los Angeles in 1949, selling furnishings door-to-door; but by the 1960s he was head of his own production company, which led to getting his dream project All in the Family on the air in 1971—after five years, three pilots and two networks. In this course, we explore how this CBS comedy and Lear fully changed TV as they changed the country, as well as his other rules-breaking hits of the 1970s: Sanford and Son, Maude, The Jeffersons, One Day at a Time and Mary Hartman Mary Hartman. We also look at all the prime-time efforts that followed over the next four decades, including Lear’s work in the streaming space as he neared his 100th birthday. We highlight key battles that were part of his TV revolution, recall lesser hits and sizable misses from both before and after his 1970s reign, and review the headlines and controversies that ran sidecar to a lengthy career that established Lear as one of the most important and celebrated media people of the 20th century.

Antonín Dvořák

Antonín Dvořák’s is one of the most celebrated composers of the 19th century. His symphonies and chamber music have been a favorite among audiences in concert repertoire. In this course, we explore and listen to his major symphonies, chamber music, Slavonic dances and other important compositions. Like his fellow compatriot Bedrich Smetana, Dvořák would go on to forge a distinctive Czech musical idiom. The concerns of nationalism also played a significant role in Dvorák’s visit to the United States where he explored similar ideals surrounding the construct of an American musical idiom. While this topic of national identity and idiom in music is complex, these themes surrounding nationalism in 19th-century music play a significant role in shaping modern classical music repertory. As we listen to Dvořák’s music, we analyze some of these themes of national identity as they relate to the changing landscape of European music in the 19th century.

Chamber Music

Chamber music specifically denotes music written for a small instru‑ mental ensemble and as an art form has played a vital role in the classical music tradition. Composers who have written chamber music often intended performances to be for a private or domestic setting. Moreover, this music is often written for the express pleasure of the musicians themselves. For these reasons, there is a great degree of intimacy and intellectual curiosity that oftentimes accompanies any engagement with this genre. In this course, we study the history of chamber music, starting from the baroque era and move through a variety of different pieces showcasing various ensembles. Each lecture involves an integrated discussion of history and culture in which we observe the musical works through careful listening, analysis and observation.

The Thrill of Hitchcock: Secrets of the Master

From the heart-stopping shower scene in Psycho to the cliff-hanger Mt. Rushmore climax of North by Northwest, the films of Alfred Hitch‑ cock hit us on a visceral level. In this course, we analyze how Hitch‑ cock skillfully orchestrates script, cinematography, production design, music and other elements to fashion his carefully calibrated brand of mayhem—and always with a dash of wit. In addition to fostering a greater appreciation of Hitchcock’s art, our discussion heightens our understanding of the suspense genre for which he virtually wrote the rules. We view and discuss the following five Hitchcock classics: The Thirty-Nine Steps (1935), which catapulted Hitchcock to international renown and launched his Hollywood career; Rear Window (1954), in which Hitchcock takes on the seemingly impossible challenge of telling an entire story from the point of view of a man confined to a wheelchair in one room—and pulls it off; Vertigo (1958), a devastating psychological drama that was panned when it was released, but has since been ranked as one of the greatest motion pictures of all time by the AFI and the British Film Institute; North by Northwest (1959), considered by many to be the ultimate man-on-the-run thriller, and described by its Oscar-nominated screenwriter Ernest Lehman as the “The Hitchcock picture to end all Hitchcock pictures;” and Psycho (1960), a shocking thriller that shattered conventions and became the biggest box office hit of Hitchcock’s career.

Goya: The Birth of a Modern Artist

Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes (1746—1828) is regarded as the most important Spanish artist of the late eighteenth and early nine‑ teenth centuries. His early work showed the influence of the Enlighten‑ ment and aimed to not only please but also educate his viewers. Later, his paintings exemplified the ravages of illness, war and political repression with enigmatic imagery that upended the traditional role of an artist. For Goya, art became an urgent reflection on the lack of meaning in modern society. In this course, we examine Goya’s major works and his stunning evolution from the royal tapestries and por‑ traits to the incisive Caprichos, the impactful Disasters of the War and the desperate Black Paintings.

How Cacao and Chocolate Changed the World

This course surveys the history of chocolate from its origins in the Upper Amazon and Mesoamerica to its impact on the world today. We explore its evolution beginning 5000 years ago when cacao was first used to make a chocolate beer 5000 years ago, to when the beans were ground to make a chocolate drink. Moving into the invention of the chocolate bar in 1847, we discuss how technological advances, higher wages for laborers, lower production costs, advertising, new products, two world wars, giant chocolate companies and other forces created a boom in demand for chocolate. We then move into the 21st century with the birth of craft chocolate, the environment as a concern to growers and new markets in Asia and Eastern Europe. Chocolate tastings (craft chocolate and mass-produced chocolate) are offered in each class meeting. Reg# 395165 Fee: $95 No refund after 13 Mar.

Best Sellers Throughout History, Part 2: The 1960s

Whatever its literary merits, bestsellers must catch the imagination of the reading public in spectacular ways, though a work may not be a bestseller in its own day. Historical bestsellers are fascinating because they provide a window on changing tastes and values. In this course, we read works from the 1960s and discuss what they reveal about society from the mid-twentieth century on. These works include J.D. Salinger’s Franny and Zooey, an amusing Zen tale that examines existential crises; Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mocking Bird, a powerful novel about rape and racial inequality; John Steinbeck’s The Winter of Our Discontent, whose central themes are the consequences of financial pressure, treated in a modernist style; and Gore Vidal’s Myra Breckinridge, which was part of the cultural assault on assumed norms of gender and sexuality that swept the world in the late 1960s and early 1970s. We end with Erich Segal’s Love Story, an American romantic fantasy from the very end of the ‘60s. Reg# 394809 Fee: $80 No refund after 16 Jan.

Short Story International: An African Perspective, Part 1

This course is an exploration into the short-story genre in the vast literary traditions of Africa. The suggested text, the highly lauded Granta Book of the African Short Story, was edited by the distinguished Nigerian novelist and poet, Helon Habila, and contains writers from 20 African countries, with a preference for newer, younger, contemporary voices. In addition to 2021 Nobel Prize-winner Abdulrazak Gurnah, other writers include Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, winner of the 2005 Commonwealth Writers’ Prize and the 2018 PEN Pinter Prize; Uwem Akpan, winner of the 2008 Commonwealth Writers’ Prize and a 2009 Oprah’s Bookclub pick; and Alain Mabanckou, 2006 winner of the prestigious Prix Renaudot, who is among the most recognized Franco-African writers in contem‑ porary French literature, and coincidentally a professor in UCLA’s Depart‑ ment of French & Francophone Studies and African Studies Center. These writers reflect Africa’s many vibrant, diverse short-story traditions and represent dynamic cross-sections of various African societies. Their voices resonate through urban, rural, and regional landscapes; private and public passions; and dramatic political events. Reg# 394750 Fee: $80 No refund after 18 Jan.

Food and Feasting in Art (with Recipes)

The depiction of food in art spans across cultures and recorded time, stretching back to ancient Greece and Rome where banquets and bacchanals were celebrated in paintings and mosaics. This course is based on many of the world’s masterpieces of art in various media and explores the bountiful relationship between the art we view and the food we eat. We read about, look at pictures of and even possibly smell and taste food (should you choose to prepare any of the recipes presented). For example, carefully viewing Michelangelo’s The Last Supper, we discover which foods beyond bread and wine he chose for the menu (FYI: it contains a religious-dietary misstep). And in Vincent van Gogh’s The Potato Eaters, we consider contemporaneous recipes which van Gogh’s peasants may have used to prepare their repast. We study the often subtle, symbolic meaning of an edible in the work of art: legumes = poverty, oranges = energy, mollusks = virginity, etc. The instructor also shares his tour, “Food in Art,” which he led at LACMA.

The Fantastic in Literature, Part 1

A subgenre of literary works called the fantastic creates a hesitation in the reader, who must decide whether what they perceive derives from reality. Fantastic literature, different from fantasy or science fic‑ tion, lets us encounter the ordinary and the uncanny, the everyday and the marvelous simultaneously and in ways that mirror and illu‑ minate modern experience. In this course, we read selected tales by Boccaccio and Poe, which describe the problematic presence of the divine in this world; Edwin Abbot’s Flatland, a 19th-century example of the fantastic in which the reader is asked to imagine one-, two-, three-, and multi-dimensional worlds; and selections from H.G. Wells, Hoffman, and Franz Kafka, where the impossible is taken seriously. These works define moments of hesitation between belief and disbe‑ lief, giving us strangeness as a condition of life.

In this course, we view five plays by the most influential American playwrights of the 20th century, all adapted into feature films. A Delicate Balance (1973) is based on Edward Albee’s 1966 Pulitzer Prizewinning play All My Sons (1948) is based on Arthur Miller’s 1946 play. A Streetcar Named Desire (1951) is adapted from Tennessee Williams’s Pulitzer Prize-winning play. A View from the Bridge (1962) is based on Arthur Miller’s 1955 play. Sweeney Todd (2007) is based on the 1979 stage musical by Stephen Sondheim and Hugh Wheeler, which in turn is based on the 1970 play by Christopher Bond. After each viewing, we analyze how each film uses the verbal, visual and visceral art form in presenting the work. As Hamlet said, “The play’s the thing wherein to catch the conscience of the king.” Reg# 395154 Fee: $80 No refund after 19 Jan.

Dementia affects nearly 10% of people aged 75 to 84 years and about 29% of those 85 years or older. However, there is emerging evidence that healthy lifestyles may decrease the rate of cognitive decline seen with aging and help delay the onset of cognitive symptoms in the setting of age-associated diseases. This course focuses on lifestyle changes that may delay or even prevent dementia, beginning with exercise.

Qigong boosts and improves the various bodily functions by cultivat‑ ing the body’s natural energy flow and capacity with simple standing and seated postures, body movements and harmonized breath. The simple movements were developed by the Chinese over the last 5000 years to follow the natural flow of the earth’s energy and improve the circulation of internal Qi (Chi) from the body and external Qi from nature. In this course, we improve our health and increase our vitality by practicing various Broad Prescription Qigong (BPQ) sets of move‑ ments while sitting and standing and using the body movements and harmonized breath-work to increase our body’s natural energy flow and fill the energy centers in our body with vital life force, or Qi.

Tai Chi is well-known for bringing the mind, body, and spirit together to improve balance, prevent injury, and promote good health. This peaceful martial art helps to clear the mind, reduce stress, and enhance flexibility along with promoting overall wellness. The steps are soft, and the slow movements are simple. The postures and movements accord with the principles of yin and yang and build an intimate awareness with one’s natural internal and external energy, building a great sense of inner peace. In this course, we introduce a new tai chi posture each week after a one-hour tai chi flow sequence.

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.

WRITING X 461.1E

2.0 units Whether you are writing a screenplay, short story, personal essay, or not even writing yet at all (but would like to!), the way to create and finish any project is through a consistent and committed writing practice. The regular discipline of writing can feel elusive and at times unattainable, but it can be done! In this course, students learn the fundamentals of creating a lasting writing practice as well as concrete tools to employ as defenses against procrastination and writer’s block. Class time will consist of lectures, in-class writing prompts, and exercises to build craft, with homework assignments geared towards setting manageable goals and accountability. Think of it as “Couch to 5K” personal training—but for writing. Rather than focusing on revising or improving a particular writ‑ ing project, the class focuses solely on committing to the writing practice itself. By the end of the course, students will have the skills to build a sustainable writing practice that they can maintain long after the class is over. All levels of writers are welcome.

Making Friends with Your Inner Critic

2.0 units Sometimes the best stories are true. To help you turn your personal experiences, anecdotes from everyday life, and family stories into compelling narratives, this workshop teaches beginning writers the basic elements of good storytelling. You learn how to excavate memo‑ ries and discover fresh or unexpected facets of your life stories. Through weekly exercises, you generate new material and learn an array of fictional techniques to tell your nonfiction story, including how to play with voice, focus on a small unit of time, and describe land‑ scape and character. By the course’s completion, you have in hand a series of short sketches or a draft of a nonfiction piece. Reg# 395415 Fee: $485 No refund after 21 Feb.

Ms. Wax is a contributor to many magazines and newspapers, including the Los Angeles Times, Westways, Emmy, and Animation.

Too often, our most compelling, honest, and original writing is silenced by the ruthless critic that dwells in our heads. The voice of the inner critic often bullies us into doubting the integrity of our own imagina‑ tions. In this course, you explore the essential quality of the critical voice that lives in you. You become familiar with what creates this critical voice and what drives those insidious messages it sends. By working with a variety of writing exercises across literary genres (poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction), along with simple mindfulness techniques, you learn new strategies that enable you to disarm the inner critic. By the end of the day, you make a surprising new friend (that dear inner critic!), and you have the beginnings of several new writing projects to explore with an unfettered mind.

Writers at any level can benefit from thinking about their brand: Why is your voice essential? What conversations do you want to enter? How can you build a community around your words? It’s not just about posting to social media, it’s about storytelling your career and identity as a writer, and finding allies along the way to champion you (and vice versa). In this 3-hour interactive seminar, students will evaluate and hone their public personas as writers and think intentionally about their audience. Using a mix of techniques drawn from artist statement writ‑ ing, business planning, and content marketing, students will leave class with a first draft of a brand bible for their small business: themselves.

How to use ChatGPT, Meditation, and Surrealism to Unlock Your Creativity

AI represents an existential crisis for humans, forcing us to face the question of whether there are more of us than needed. This question is particularly confronting for artists, many of whom already question the value of their own creations and themselves. This workshop embraces AI as an art supply by recognizing that an artist’s contribu‑ tion is not just to create something out of thin air, but to observe the startling connections between seemingly unconnected things that no one else has noticed. AI, specifically ChatGPT, can be a remarkable tool to bombard your brain, help you enter your creativity sideways, and give you the “x-ray specs” to see those unseen connections. The workshop uses meditation and Surrealistic parlour games to bridge between ChatGPT’s sometimes spooky, sometimes hollow responses and your own subconscious. The workshop uses AI ethically, consult‑ ing it not to create anything but simply as a lens to see connections in the artist’s mind and the world. This workshop is structured to help all artists, but is particularly useful to those working in narrative mediums (fiction, non-fiction, drama, film/tv). This workshop is taught by author Henry Lien, who has nearly 20 years’ experience as a Sur‑ realist art dealer, and author/playwright Jerry Lee Davis, who has over 20 years’ experience teaching meditation.

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.

In this course, you’ll learn the strategies and tips to succeed and continue to thrive as a professional writer. This includes: visioncasting for your unique gifts and interests; marketing and branding yourself and your work (and how to partner with a publisher in this); whether and how to work with accountants, agents, and lawyers; selecting strategic venues and events in which to participate; diver‑ sifying revenue streams (through in-person appearances, workshops, sales, and more); making your live readings sought-after events that are engaging and resonant; and in all of it, knowing your worth and confidently discussing money with all the relevant professionals.

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.

Crafting Survival Stories

3.0 units Catastrophe is becoming more common an experience than Ameri‑ cans imagined possible. Climate change, pandemics, sex trafficking, mass shootings, or singular catastrophic events are on our minds. The result is that our society has become desensitized to the realities of catastrophic events. This workshop supports fiction and nonfiction writers completing a dystopian novel, a memoir about a personal involvement in a catastrophe, or work that delves into the dynamics of a catastrophe. We explore universal themes, truths revealed about humanity, and contributions survivors bring to a world in which mass catastrophe is becoming increasingly common. This course unpacks those truths through lenses including globalization, cross-cultural studies, biology, technology, sociology, psychology, climate change, environmentalism, writing and literature, philosophy, and history.

Writing the Erotic

3.0 units Writing about sex can be challenging. This course helps writers build erotic writing grounded in various characters, settings, and voices. We explore how humor, bad sex, or even problematic sex lend themselves to a fuller—and more erotic—interaction between two characters to establish a relationship between sex and literature, as well as how we make it fit naturally in the flow of a good story. This course encourages students to take chances and experiment with building eroticism into their work or creating a story that is primarily driven by the erotic, along the lines of Pauline Reage’s Story of O or George Bataille’s The Story of the Eye. Students leave the course with an understanding of both erotic writing as a genre and incorporating the erotic into other writing. Reg# 395171 Fee: $720 No refund after 31 Jan.

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.

But mysteries are challenging novels to write due to their complex plots, the necessity of planting of clues and red herrings, and the unraveling of the crime.

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.

3.0 units Literary journalism is nonfiction prose that transcends “who, what, where, and when” to give a more detailed, richer, and vivid picture of real events. It combines an immersive approach to reporting with the aims and techniques of fiction. Although this type of writing has roots in antiquity (i.e. Thucydides’s The Peloponnesian War), contemporary practitioners include Tom Wolfe, Joan Didion, John McPhee, and Gay Talese. Today, literary journalism appears in periodicals such as The New Yorker, The Atlantic Monthly, Esquire, and Harper’s Magazine, as well as in the magazines or literary supplements of many major newspapers. By the end of the course, you have an understanding of the basic techniques for reporting and writing such journalism and at least one project started. Reg# 395421 Fee: $720 No refund after 31 Jan.

Learning the Rules to Break the Rules in Poetry

Before modern times, plays, stories, ballads, epics, parables, etc. began as oral tradition and were shared using the rhymes, rhythms, and patterns we now recognize as poetry. And though formal poetry can feel intimidating or restricting, at one point, it was every day. In this workshop, writers of all levels will be reacquainted with the sounds of poetry and learn the rules of fixed forms—sonnets, villanelles, ses‑ tinas, and pantoum—not to master them, but to break them. From the pieces we may just find the best words, sounds, and shapes for containing some big emotions.

How to Jumpstart Your Inner Poet Through Memory and Story

This three-hour workshop jumpstarts the poet within and inspire and ignite new work. Memory is a storehouse of who we are and what we have seen and done (and smelled and touched and heard). All of it is specific, sensory, and concrete—like the best writing. We take a deep dive into the rich territory of ideas, people, places, and emotions from our past and examine how memory can inform our imaginations to awaken fresh work. Students see how uncovering one memory often leads to another and another, creating work that surprises both the writer and reader. The day is a mixture of lecture, reading poetry and practicing “automatic writing,” tapping into our memories and the subconscious, and reading aloud to the class as jumping-off points for new poems. Of value to non-writers as well by showing how we can capture and utilize details from our past to use as inspiration no matter what our creative discipline.

Decolonizing Publishing

3.0 units In a time where publishing claims to be pivoting to a more inclusive and heterogenous future, it is essential for the next generation of industry professionals and creatives to not only be aware of, but to actively facilitate these changes, now more than ever. This class will focus on challenging the current paradigm of craft, or otherwise the notion of there being one ideal and normative writing craft method, and how we, as writers, editors, agents, and readers, can explore the nuances of culture and the mores of craft in non-harmful ways. Stu‑ dents will be encouraged to think critically about the role of Western‑ ized literary dominance and power dynamics in literary spaces by examining different narrative conventions, plot constructs, and themes that exist around the world, before eventually writing a deconstructed non-linear story of their own. The goal is to broaden our modern perception of writing craft, primarily in the sci-fi/fantasy genre, by deconstructing the colonial lens in creative writing pedagogy. By the end of this course, you will not only be more aware of the issues of literary imperialism and mindful of projecting innate biases within the industry, but you will have cultivated knowledge of writing craft that extends beyond the paradigm, enriched by a multicultural lens.

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 readers’ 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, writers 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 profes‑ sional proof-reading techniques and notations. This will include explana‑ tions regarding the how’s and why’s for each editorial suggestion, and will be targeted to screenwriters, 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.

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 conflicts of the charac‑ ters. 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 rewritten or original scenes for your current project and a map to link those scenes into a sequence. Reg# 395508 Fee: $485 No refund after 7 Feb.

There is currently a high demand for skilled showrunners, and in this workshop, we focus on demystifying what a showrunner does. This workshop is set up as a boot camp, exploring the breath of knowledge a showrunner needs using hands-on exercises, lectures, viewing of footage including dailies and rough cuts, discussing the pilot script and series writing process, and giving notes on scripts—as well as covering the practical issues of production, maximizing bud‑ gets, and overall series logistics.

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.

Building Compelling Story Settings

3.0 units Dialogue, plotting, and pacing are pillars of any good script or book. However, a strongly-evoked setting can lift a good story into a great one. Through this course, you look at striking examples of stories where the location was just as much a character as the protagonist. You take in such stories as a class and learn to articulate what makes your settings so striking. You look at photos of interesting locations and find all the right words to best describe them. And with visual media, you even “reverse-engineer” descriptions based on what you see, then compare your writing afterward to what the script dictated in the first place. As the course progresses, you are tasked to write stories in different media—prose, live-action, animation, graphic novel, etc.—with an eye to establish and extenuate the setting.

Script Doctoring for Television

3.0 units We’re in the golden era of television. There’s never been more work for writers out there than these days. Which means many writers are trying to break in. And they need help! That’s where TV Script Doctors come in—they help writers finesse their work in order to get it optioned, sold, sent to competitions, etc. TV Script Doctors also work as TV consultants, help develop storylines, or make last minute changes. They’re the unsung heroes of the development process. And in this course, we learn how to analyze TV pilots—including their Bibles—how to give notes that go beyond the pilot episode and can show that the potential series has legs, how to best structure TV pilots to truly make the protagonist shine, how to show what the show will be about, how to make sure the pilot is a real episode template and not a premise pilot, how to flesh out the supporting characters, how to enhance the world of the story, how to make the pilot feel topical and contemporary, how to help writers polish their Pitch Decks to make them stand out, and how to make a career as a TV Script Doctor. Through the use of lectures, script analysis, readings, and workshops, students get to experience and practice the art of script doctoring, and gain practical experience they can apply in the industry.

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.

18.0 units In this highly intensive, focused, and collaborative environment with a cohort of select students, you complete a solid draft of your spec script of an existing series and an original pilot in 9 months. In the spec phase of the course, you begin by refining your story idea and the outline. You then continue to write your script, focusing on capturing the essence of the show through its act structure, plot, multiple story‑ lines, characters, scenes, and dialogue. During the pilot phase of the course, you take a concept for a television series and develop it through outline, the pitch, first draft, and the bible. You focus on complex char‑ acterization, structure, and the pilot story and potential for future epi‑ sodes, and gain an in-depth understanding of the marketplace and where your series concept may be best suited, whether multi-camera, single-camera, drama, dramedy, or animation. Professional develop‑ ment is another key component to having a successful writing career. Topics including forming business relationships, pitching in meetings, preparing for rejection/success, submitting to competitions and fellow‑ ships, etc., is also covered. Lastly, you take your completed script drafts and polish them to be ready to take out to agents, producers, studios, and networks.
