CAD COURSE REQUIREMENTS

Prerequisite: All CAD courses assume knowledge of drafting principles and basic PC (Windows) computer skills. Advanced CAD courses assume knowledge of the application as defined in the introductory course.

Note: All computer courses are taught on a Windows platform in computer labs. Mac users may download Mac-compatible versions of AutoCAD, Photoshop, Illustrator, SketchUp/SketchUp Pro, and Podium for laptop or home use but will be responsible for learning mouse clicks or keystroke conversion independently. There are currently no Mac versions of Revit or 3ds Max Design. Mac users may work in a Windows partition using Parallels or other Windows emulation software. For more information call (310) 825-9061.

All CAD courses are fast paced and complex; absence from any meet ing is discouraged. The courses require at least three hours of com puter work outside of class per week. Lab hours are not available; therefore, students must have access to their own hardware and software for the courses in which they enroll.

FREE SOFTWARE AND SOFTWARE LICENSES

Students may download free student versions of Revit and AutoCAD upon proof of student status through the Autodesk Education Com munity website. Students also may be eligible for academic rates on other software for their own home computer. Prices and restrictions are subject to change by the software developers. Software versions should reflect the version used in class; an older version may not possess the same interface or tools demonstrated in class. It is each student’s responsibility to verify that his/her computer meets the software’s minimum system requirements. For more information call (310) 825-9061.

Fundamentals of Business Administration and Management

4.0 units

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.

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. Consequently, many are turning to influencers: individuals who already have large, attentive followings that they can persuade to action. 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.

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.

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.

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.

Teacher Induction Transition and the Individual Learning Plan

Upon entering the UCLA Extension Induction Program, each participat ing teacher works with his/her mentor to plan for the transition from a preliminary teacher credential program to this teacher induction program. After a review of the California Standards for the Teaching Profession (CSTP) and available evidence of teaching performance from the teacher’s preliminary credential program, the mentor guides the participating teacher to develop professional growth goals for an individual learning plan (ILP). The ILP is integrated into each induction program course and periodically updated throughout the program. The mentor and participating teacher discuss the methods and criteria that are used to measure ongoing growth in the CSTP and assess readiness to be recommended for the Clear Credential at the conclu sion of the program.

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

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.

The study of harmony has been the foundation of composers for centuries. This intensive crash course not only serves as a complete review of diatonic harmony but also teaches you how to apply theo retical concepts to your own compositions. Instruction consists of three stages: establishing a strong foundation in diatonic harmony, studying music scores of the great masters who demonstrate these techniques, and creating your own music compositions emulating what you have learned. Concepts covered include proper usage of scales; functional chord progressions and how they work; roman numeral analysis; how to create both regional and true modulation; creating chord inversions; cadence types; and proper notational practices dealing with rhythm, meter, and score set up. Scores studied include works by J.S. Bach, Mozart, Haydn, Beethoven, Mendelssohn, and more. As you work on your own compositions, utilizing many of the concepts learned, you receive guidance from the instructor and gain the opportunity to build your portfolio.

Prerequisite(s): The ability to read music, knowledge of music notation, and an understanding of the fundamentals of music theory.

You don’t want to be bogged down in endless meetings where everyone has something to say but no decisions are made and nothing is resolved. Study after study shows that a diverse group of average people make better and quicker deci sions rather than relying on one individual, no matter how intelligent they are. Additionally, making decisions by considering multiple options almost always results in a better outcome than deciding based upon a single option. Through this course, you begin to understand how to effectively delegate responsibilities that allows participation but won’t slow down the decision making process. Discussions will also include the underlying rules of communication that should drive the use of technology and an assessment of its effectiveness in today’s work environment.

Qigong: Its Origins, Practices, and Philosophy

As China rose to one of the superpowers of the ancient world, its indigenous health care system effectively took care of China’s popula tion’s health. Qigong, pronounced “chi gong,” was developed in China thousands of years ago as part of traditional Chinese medicine. Qigong contributed to the longevity and good health of its citizens in ancient times and is still integral to the good health broadly enjoyed today. In this course, we explore Qigong’s history, philosophical origins, and powerful practices from its mandated use issued by the Yellow Emperor in 2000 2500 BC to the modern practices in traditional Chi nese medicine today.

Ligaments Quietly Holding You Together, Until They Don’t

Ligaments are tough fibrous bands spanning from bone to bone and affording differing degrees of joint mobility and stability. Without them, muscle contractions would be wasted on an entirely wobbly skeleton. We may recognize ligaments only when a failure occurs which may manifest as a frozen shoulder, wrist sprain, torn knee ligament, plantar fasciitis, or bunion. In this course, we explore some of our ligaments, followed by the rich history of their discovery and description from ancient civilizations to the present. We look at how ligament size, configuration, and stretch resistance controls both stability and motion; and how the molecular and microscopic nature of ligaments achieves these feats. We examine commonly encountered ligament disorders, how they might be prevented, the treatments available, and the prospects for artificial replacements. We also celebrate the extraordinary ligaments that were responsible for Paganini’s virtuosity, and which allow gymnasts to dazzle us with their amazing flexibility and control. rrr

Willa Cather: An American Story

This Dec. 7, we celebrate Willa Cather’s 150th birthday. Her story is one defined by a lifetime of determination, struggle, and gradual emer gence. The writer, who emerged at the forefront of American letters with O Pioneers! (1913), The Song of the Lark (1915), and My Antonia (1918); was already well into middle age. This introduction to one of the most widely read novelists of the early twentieth century will explore her turbulent biography and uniquely American voice. Sprin kled into the lecture: readings of Cather’s work, performed by two professional actors, including letters to Alfred Knopf, her publisher, and Edith Lewis, Cather’s domestic partner of nearly 40 years.

Los Angeles in the 1940s: War, Peace, and Prosperity

World War II led to a population explosion in Los Angeles. During the 1940s, workers flocked to the shipyards and aircraft factories to sup port the war effort; many came with their families and never left. Jewish and artistic German emigres who fled Nazi Germany contrib uted to the city’s cultural landscape. And Mexican American guest workers and African American enlisted men who chose to stay faced racism. In this course, we explore the impact of the war, the influx of new groups of people, and the post war prosperity on Los Angeles. Events covered include the rumored Battle of Los Angeles, the Zoot Suit Riots, the unsolved Black Dahlia murder, and the city’s first smog alert. We look at the California style of architecture which developed with the spread of housing developments. And we view clips from the best movies Hollywood made in this decade including the 1942 clas sic Casablanca and the 1944 crime film noir Double Indemnity.

American Art Before and After the 1913 Armory Show

The Armory Show of 1913 is considered the most important art exhibi tion in the history of the United States in that it instigated a transfor mative shift from a conservative and realistic style to modernism. In this course, we begin our exploration of art in America with the foundation of its first art school, The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (PAFA), founded in 1805. PAFA students included Thomas Eakins, Mary Cassatt, Henry Ossawa Tanner, and the artists who would become the Ash Can School. We then focus on the Armory Show’s pinnacle exhibition and formation and continue with the immediate shift in style in the years following with the impact of the introduction of the European avant garde, including works by Picasso, Matisse, and Duchamp.

The Artists of Montmartre

Beginning in the mid 1800s, artists began to proliferate in Montmartre, the recently annexed hill on the outskirts of Paris. With its inexpensive rent, Montmartre soon became a mecca for cafes, nightclubs like the Moulin Rouge and the Cirque Fernando, revolutionary ideals, and artists. In this course, we explore those artists, including Edgard Degas, Pierre Auguste Renoir, and Henri Toulouse Lautrec, as well as other artists of the late 19th and early 20th century including Vincent van Gogh, Suzanne Valadon, and Pablo Picasso.

We also learn the backstories of the making of the films, including the reasons why Richard Pryor did not play the lead role in Blazing Saddles, and who Madeline Kahn was really parodying with the character of Lili Von Shtupp. Since Mel Brooks leaned heavily on referential humor, we also view short clips of the original Frankenstein and Marlene Dietrich from The Blue Angel.

Great Pianists of Classical Music

The piano was invented in 1700 by a harpsichord maker named Bar tolomeo Cristofori, and by the last quarter of the eighteenth century had become a leading and timeless instrument within the classical music tradition. While there have been countless sonatas, suites, preludes, etudes, and concertos composed for the piano, pianists have had a very important role in shaping the traditions we hear from generation to generation. As time passes, performance traditions and values vary and change from artist to artist. In this course, we explore the performances of great pianists throughout history beginning with what some have described as the golden age of piano playing. We also explore the many famous recordings of pianists playing from the acoustic era to the present day. This course will be recorded.

The History of Doo-Wop

Doo wop was the most popular black music style in the 1950s. Its origins go back as far as the 1930s with male gospel quartets and vocal groups like the Mills Brothers and the Ink Spots. The use of nonsense syllables sung by background singers such as shoo bee doo wop bah dah, the use of a falsetto voice above the melody, and a pronounced bass voice became the basis of this genre. In this course, we trace its development beginning in the 1950s with the Ravens, The Spaniels, The Cadillacs, and Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers. This is followed by Dion and the Belmonts, the Penguins, and the Skyliners through the late 1950’s and early 1960’s. We also look at influential disc jockeys and record promoters who made these sounds mainstream.

The

Blues:

How Three Chords Became Rock ‘n’ Roll

Rock ‘n’ roll exists because of the blues. Songs sung by enslaved Africans in the southern U.S. became gospel music, the acoustic blues of the Mississippi Delta, the electrified sounds of Chicago, and the rhythm and blues associated with Memphis. When this music became mainstream in the fifties, rock ‘n’ roll was born, creating careers for artists like Aretha Franklin, The Drifters, and a guy named Elvis. The blues inspired rock groups on both sides of the ocean, the soulful sounds of Motown and Philadelphia, and hip hop/rap music. In this course, we listen to music clips to understand the evolution of rock ‘n’ roll, and how it produced social change and technological advance ment worldwide. Historic recordings are presented, including the Georgia Sea Island Singers recorded by Alan Lomax, Delta blues art ists, Chicago blues, and Memphis R&B. This course will be recorded.

Andrew Jackson and Jacksonian Democracy

Andrew Jackson was the seventh president of the United States from 1829 to 1837. He was a politician and leader who became a political and social icon for a generation of Americans in the first half of the nineteenth century and was one of the most transformative and controversial presidents in US history. In this course, we explore Jackson’s early life and military career along with the political rise of the near West as a distinct region and a force in American society. With seminal crises involving the Second National Bank, Nullification, the Cherokees’ Trail of Tears, and many other events, Jackson’s presi dential tenure represented a clear demarcation away from the patri cian politics of the era of the founding fathers and towards a democracy that was, by turns, more inclusive, more populist, and more volatile.

Turning Points in Food History

In this course, we explore significant events which have contributed to the way humans have eaten. The adoption of vegetarianism in India’s Jain religion as a major eating tradition was one such event. Another was Columbus’s 1492 voyage, which brought a vast cornuco pia of New World products corn, potatoes, and tomatoes, to name a few, to the cuisines of the entire world. Other events include science based inventions such as canning to preserve food, baking powder to make breads and cakes rise, and the invention of refrigeration to keep foods fresh. We also look at significant cookbooks and their authors, including Apicius’s On Things Culinary the oldest collection of recipes to survive from antiquity; and On the Art of Cooking (1570), which made Renaissance era chef Bartolomeo Scappi the first internationally renowned celebrity chef. This tradition has lived on more recently with Frenchmen Antonin Carême, who defined the very term haute cuisine, and Auguste Escoffier, whose Le Guide Culinaire (1903) revolutionized the order and design of the modern restaurant kitchen.

Excerpts from the instructor’s book, The Man Who Would Write Paradise, are the basis of our discussions. In the end we shall realize what is behind l’amore che move il sole and l’altre stelle (the love that moves the sun and other stars).

Great Italian Cinema

The cinema of Italy has given the world great films and has influenced film movements worldwide. The post World War II Neorealismo period merged cinematic realism with a focus on glaring social problems and postwar poverty, while Fellini’s imitable cinematic style combined surreal carnival with incisive social critique. In this course, we view some of the greatest Italian films from 1945 to 1997, and analyze how they use the verbal, visual, and visceral art form, and what they had to say about the human condition. We watch five films: Umberto D (1952), Life is Beautiful (1997), 8-1/2 (1963), The Damned (1969), and Open City (1945).

The Value of a Scientific Society

In this course, we discuss if and how a scientific society is of value to people. The bulk of our discussion is based on Bertrand Russell’s 1953 book, The Impact of Science on Society (1953), which examines the changes in modern life brought about by science. We discuss Russell’s argument that science offers the world greater well being than it has ever known on the condition that prosperity is dispersed, that power is diffused by means of a world government, that birth rates do not become too high, and that war is abolished. In addition to Russell, we read essays on the impact of science and society by Asimov, Einstein, and Carl Sagan.

Best Sellers Throughout History, Part 1

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 bestsellers from different periods and discuss their impact on society. These include selections the Psalms and the poetry of the Sufi mystic, Rumi spiritual bestsellers; selections from Virgil’s Aeneid a Roman bestseller; Voltaire’s Candide a bestseller from the Age of Enlightenment which enjoyed great success and great scandal in its own day; Baudelaire’s Flowers of Evil a vilified bestseller and now a classic; as well as Dale Carnegie’s How to Win Friends and Influence People and Benjamin Spock’s The Common Sense Book of Baby and Child Care cultural bestsellers. All these works have captured readers throughout the ages and our age is no exception.

Mindfulness & Healthy Aging

Life’s stresses and our emotional reactivity over the years can lead to an overload of stress hormones, resulting in imbalances in the body. These hormones have been linked to heart disease, high blood pres sure, weakened immune systems, memory loss, and accelerated aging. Mindfulness techniques can be particularly beneficial for older adults who are more sensitive to the effects of stress related inflam mation. In this course, we find new ways of dealing with stress, life changes, and some of the common effects of aging. We introduce strategies for long term health and happiness as well as re evaluating your life purpose and goals. Participants are introduced to restorative and neuro protective mindfulness strategies that can foster well being even in these challenging times.

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 institution. 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 provided to augment contextual readings of the presenta tions. Discussion is encouraged as it inspires further observation and awareness.

The Feldenkrais Method® works slowly and systematically to build new patterns of movement. By doing very small and easy but complex movement puzzles, we learn to rewire our nervous systems to align mind with body. In this course, we become experts at knowing how our bodies work what is possible and easy and what is more difficult or even impossible at the time. We experiment with variations in our movement patterns to build resiliency and expand our repertoire of ways to do the same movements with refinement. The movement strategies we use are small and slow to maximize a way for your brain to learn better habits. This is not a standard exercise class. Anyone can benefit since the emphasis is on learning as we once did as babies organically. Discover the pleasure of moving painlessly and gracefully.

Tai Chi for Anxiety and Better Balance

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 move ments 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, a new tai chi posture is introduced each week after a one hour tai chi flow sequence. In the process, we learn how to open the body’s energy pathways and prepare for proper tai chi form training, while focusing on deepening our balance and reducing anxiety.

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.

Writing Life Stories Inspired by Travel

3.0 units

“American travel writing is about trying to find the light,” says the global journalist and author Pico Iyer. Of course, he’s not just talking about the light we see when we gaze at a Greek island sunset, a Mt. Fuji sunrise, or a full moon over the Aztecan pyramids. He’s talking about revelation. When we travel we often feel fully alive engaged in a three dimensional exploration in which we find a sense of freedom, humanity, and our true selves again. Such experiences can make for insightful, compelling narratives, set as they often are against dazzling and surprising landscapes. Indeed, the best travel writing examines the trip to find the journey. To that end, this course helps you explore and capture on paper some of the moments when you have been profoundly moved even transformed by an adven ture you’ve had in a far flung locale. Each week, you read and critique excerpts of the best travel writing, write from prompts, and discuss the craft and how to place your stories in online and print publica tions. By the end of the course, you will have written as much as a 2,000 word travel story and a query letter that you can then send out to publications of your choice.

Setting and Description

Setting and description are foundational to a story and can support larger themes well if done thoughtfully with fresh and vivid language, attention to detail, implication, and perspective. They can, in effect, give one’s characters a home or space to work within, as well as open up possibilities for deepening and expanding the scope of any story. In this reading and exercise based class, we explore and practice descriptive writing and its power in establishing setting and mood while enlivening action and supporting symbolic relationships in fiction and creative nonfiction. Each week, we read sample fiction and creative nonfiction to identify how the content is influenced by the description of setting, action, events, and objects. By the end of class, you have improved skills in writing descriptively to enrich and enliven your work.

Character and Conflict

3.0 units

One of the most misunderstood concepts in the craft of fiction writing is the relationship between character and conflict. A story can involve a complex character with fascinating thoughts, ideas, and interests, but without a conflict that motivates the character to act, the ensuing story will be stagnant and flat. In this class, we explore, through our own writing and through published work, how to create richly imag ined characters and how to challenge them with conflicts that threaten their hidden, most deeply held desires, forcing them to act in ways that change the world around them. Each week, we read sample fiction to identify craft tools that help us determine and convey the flaws in our characters, flaws that then help us pick a conflicted situation to push our characters into action. Weekly writing exercises put theory into practice and help you discover what works (and doesn’t) in your own writing practice.

WRITING X 416.1E Science Fiction and Fantasy Novel I

Science fiction and fantasy novels are immensely popular and have inspired some of our most beloved, successful, and long lived media franchises. But speculative novels are challenging to write due to their complex settings, their need to orient readers to an entirely unique world and its rules, and the challenge of connecting audiences to characters who might not even be human.

Write a Novel in a Month as Part of National Novel Writing Month

3.0 units

Write a novel in a month! Is it possible? Over 100,000 writers around the world in 2016 thought so. The challenge of National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) is to write an entire draft of a 50,000 word novel over the 30 days of November. Before launching into one of the wildest writing experiences ever, you meet twice with the instructor and classmates to develop the essential strategies you need to complete your novel draft. Then, for the next five weeks of this “write shop,” you write with the instructor offering writing exercises and tips designed to generate material and move your draft along, word by word, to the 50,000 word goal. At the eighth meeting, we discuss the next steps in moving you toward publication and have a class reading, just like a published author would. Our last two classes are workshops to get you started on the revision process. You come out of the course with a draft of your novel, a start in revising, and the tools to decide where to go from there. Come prepared with writing materials.

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.

Animals as Souls and the Magic of Objects in Middle Grade and Young Adult Literature

Daemons are external manifestations of the soul in animal form, popu larized in literature by Phillip Pullman’s His Dark Materials mythology. Talismans are inanimate objects suffused with power or magic. One might consider Dorothy’s ruby red slippers as talismans for all the trouble they get her into and out of! Or Frodo and that itty bitty ring that somehow contains the weight of the entire world. These elements elevate any story and add a psychological, emotional layer to our characters, usually bubbling up from the author’s subconscious. In this course, we will plumb the depths of animals as souls, shadow selves, and doppelgangers as well as inert objects that travel along side our protagonists supplying them with a sense of purpose and probing. We will use lectures, workshops, and writing exercises to help birth daemons for ourselves and our characters, and explore meaning ful objects in real life, as well as fiction, to carve out a layered bildung sroman that feels active, subterranean, and innovative.

An editor’s job includes not only improving the mechanics of writing, but also identifying places where content needs revision and develop ment, then engaging in respectful dialogue with their writer regarding subsequent drafts. Expanding on the topics covered in Developmental Editing, students will use their understanding of the editorial letter writing process to analyze an unpublished manuscript and work directly with the author on a mutually agreed upon revision plan for a second draft of their work. The class will emulate a professional editorial working environment with some in class writer participation and a focus on preparing manuscripts for real world submissions. The goal is to give students first hand experience as developmental editors ahead of entering the workforce. At the end of the course, students will have written an editorial letter for an unpublished manuscript and delivered it to their writer, engaged in editorial conversation directly with their writer, arrived at a mutually agreed upon revision plan, line edited the first few chapters of their writer’s manuscript for submis sion, and worked with their writer to draft a submission letter and select appropriate publishers.

Rewriting for Character and Plot

3.0 units

Rewriting is a lot like keeping plates spinning without letting one fall. Multiple elements from the character arc to structural touchstones must be woven together so that the story is constantly moving for ward, stakes are raised, tension keeps the energy high and the emotional journey unfolds in an authentic and organic way. Plus, you need to keep the tone consistent and the theme threaded through. In this 10 week course, we will break down how to approach your rewrite by reverse engineering one of your original screenplays scene by scene to find the connective tissue between the two seminal sides: Character and Plot. You can’t have one without the other. To help make the process easier and strengthen your work on every level, we’ve created “The Story Cinque Grid” which will highlight five elements of each scene: purpose, emotion, choice, action, and conflict.

We take it for granted that real people bring their personalities to situ ations completely unrelated to their most pressing motivations and conflicts. What would it look like if our characters did the same? Now that you have a first draft of your screenplay or TV pilot, this course lets you unshackle your characters from the hard work of delivering your story so you can experience what they’re like “off the clock.”

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.

3.0 units

There is something to be said for letting your ears paint the pictures. Before television, radio served as the primary mode of entertainment for audiences seeking powerful storytelling.

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

3.0 units

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.

You look at your actions, your pacing, your tension and your stakes, among other things. The goal: to improve your script until it’s a story that demands the reader’s attention.

You’ve written a draft of your original hour long pilot and now you need to dig deeper, raise the stakes higher, and stretch your characters further to make your script one that will leave an indelible mark on its readers. Have you introduced us to characters and situations that we want to come back to week after week? In this course, you review the choices your characters make, the consequences of those choices, and how to make those consequences more dramatic. You look at your actions, your pacing, your tension and your stakes, among other things. The goal: to improve your script until it’s a story that demands the reader’s attention.

Prerequisite(s): The completed one hour pilot draft you wish to rewrite in this course is required to apply.

Advanced Show Bible and Pitch Deck Workshop

3.0 units

Do you have a great pilot script, but no idea how to fully develop an engaging Show Bible or Pitch Deck that can help sell your show? In this workshop, we learn the importance of each of these industry documents when pitching your script, and what you need to include in each of them. With a combination of lectures and workshops, week after week we study some of the best Pitch Decks and Show Bibles from successful shows, discuss and work on the different areas of these documents regarding your own pilot, get notes in order to polish your work, and in 10 weeks you end up with a polished Pitch Deck or Show Bible (your choice) to shop around. This is an ideal course for students who want a structured and safe place to workshop their ideas and get constructive criticism, while also having a flexible schedule to go over the weekly lectures, readings, and assignments, and set deadlines to get you to complete your Pitch Deck or Show Bible. This is an advanced workshop, submission based, and limited to 12 students.
