10 Differences Between Traditional and Enterprise Risk Management

How is ERM different or distinct from traditional risk management? Join this webinar where a seasoned ERM professional will break down these nuances to help you understand how ERM has changed the face of risk management. Most are familiar with basic risk management practices around safety and insurance because they have stayed rela tively consistent over time. But if you’re new to ERM or trying to help your organization understand what is and how it can benefit from adopting it, then it’s important to start with the basics. Both practices carry the word “risk” in the title, but in reality, they are miles apart in purpose and application. Register for this webinar to explore these differences, as well as how ERM has morphed from a risk centric, loss prevention focus to an objective centric approach focused on the company’s strategy, goals, and mission. Learn where ERM is headed in the years ahead and why risk practitioners need to possess more than just technical skills to ensure they are harnessing ERM in the best way possible for the long term success of the company.

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.

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 Six Sigma Management System is rocking the business world by helping organizations meet or exceed customer requirements through greater efficiency and profitability. “Sigma” is a statistical measurement term that indicates how far a given process deviates from perfection, and the highly disciplined Six Sigma process allows organizations to develop and deliver near perfect products and services. The central idea behind Six Sigma is that if you can measure how many defects exist in a process, you can systematically eliminate them and get as close to “zero defects” as possible. This course shows students how to identify and manage process improvement projects using the systematic, analytical Six Sigma approach. Topics include manage ment roles and responsibilities that support Six Sigma philosophy, specific analysis techniques that can be applied to a process, and inspiring case studies of company successes. Class exercises include simulations that demonstrate the application of tools and techniques. While our Lean Six Sigma courses are not ASQ certification test prep courses, we employ the same material used to prepare students for the certification exam. Our instructors are practitioners who teach students how to apply Lean and Six Sigma to any business sector.

Sustainable Energy Management

4.0 units

The OPEC oil embargo of 1973 was the first real wake up call about the U.S.’s dependence on imported energy and the consequences of unchecked energy usage. From that experience, many energy inten sive companies quickly saw the value of having a dedicated resource, often an Energy Manager, whose role was to minimize energy costs and ensure energy availability (i.e., make the company’s energy usage sustainable). Consequently, the term “sustainability” has long been part of the energy manager’s lexicon. Today, it isn’t just energy intensive companies that are interested in energy management. Concerns about climate change, energy security, and utility cost stabil ity have led to a tremendous increase in the role of energy manage ment across all sectors, and it is no longer the domain of just engineers but also business managers, contractors and many others. This course explores the role of energy management in providing a meaningful and financially viable sustainability program. Students who successfully complete the course take away a solid understanding of what energy management entails, key fundamental energy manage ment skills, and an overall level of knowledge enabling them to make meaningful contributions to discussions about energy management in regard to sustainability programs.

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).

The Art and Times of Edouard Manet

Édouard Manet was one of the first 19th century artists to paint modern life, as well as a pivotal figure in the transition from Realism to Impressionism. His work, focusing on capturing the immediacy of the modern world, was seen as a challenge to the constraints of the French Academy of Fine Arts and became an inspiration for a young generation of rebellious artists who would become known as the Impressionists. In this course, we look at his art, the controversy associated with it, and how he both influenced and was influenced by Impressionism. This course will be recorded.

Of the nine surviving plays that are entirely his own work, The Shoemaker’s Holiday is the best known and considered his masterpiece. It is a boisterous comedy about a madcap shoemaker who rises to become Lord Mayor of London and offers vivid and romanticized portrayals of daily life in London around 1600. Each week, we read scenes aloud from this entertaining play (free play script available online) and discuss them. All are welcome, no prior acting experience required.

Shakespeare for Beginners and Experts, Part 4

William Shakespeare is widely regarded as the greatest author of plays and poems in the English language. What is not widely recognized is that he wrote for two audiences: playgoers eager for diversion and entertainment, and the thoughtful “wiser sort” concerned with politi cal, cultural, religious and social questions of the day. Shakespeare had a lot to say to both audiences which in good part accounts for his timeless popularity. In this course, we read five of his greatest plays, and discuss and understand them as well informed lovers of the theater and poetry. But we also sift his writings for the provocative ideas radical and rebellious ideas that fired the imagination of the “wiser sort” in Shakespeare’s time and now. We read and discuss the following plays: Comedy of Errors, Cymbeline, Troilus and Cressida, Romeo and Juliet and Othello. This course will be recorded. Students will have access to videos for the duration of the course.

The History and Mystery of Color

Artists have used color to create an array of symbolism, emotions and socio political meanings within their historical context. Additionally, artists have utilized their knowledge of color to portray mood, light, depth and point of view. In this course, we discuss a variety of paint ings throughout history to understand intention and the stories behind the paintings. We look at the various histories of color and their meanings in various societies and cultural contexts, as well as the materials and processes used to make colors. This course will be recorded.

The Show Must Go On: The Story of Queen

There is no other rock band like Queen. They’re the only group in history that featured four equally talented songwriters, all of whom wrote at least one top 10 hit. They were the first to integrate elements of opera, musicals and other genres uncommon in rock music into their compositions. They even built some of their own gear, which helped define the band’s sound. There are so many elements that make the band enthralling, but their story is easily the most riveting. In this course, we learn how the band went from humble beginnings to eventually becoming one of the most beloved and successful groups in the world. We explore everything from their musical evolu tion to their legendary performance at Live Aid to their fascinating personal lives and much more. This course will be recorded.

Tragedy and Early Modern Opera

The early modern artists’ ability to masterfully rework traditions of classical and neoclassical tragedy for the operatic stage has produced a number of early European operas, which continue to stand the test of time. In this course, we view selected operas from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, focusing our study on the characteristic features of tragedy and its integration. The selected operas include Peri’s Euridice, Monteverdi’s L’Orfeo, Cavalli’s Giasone Purcell’s Dido and Aeneas, Charpentier’s Médée Handel’s Rinaldo, and Rameau and Pellegrin’s Hippolyte et Aricie. We also consider other short musical examples to better our understanding of the resulting genre.

All in the Decade

In the nine decades that make up the history of television, none involved more change to the business and its programming than the 1970s. Dramas turned dark. Comedies turned serious. Movies and miniseries smashed taboos. Conventions were overturned. Represen tation soared. Reality programming arrived. Sports in prime time and HBO and Showtime were born. And controversy was often as explosive as some of the ratings. TV, in other words, got real, because a rapidly changing America demanded it. In this course, we explore what 1970s television explored realism, feminism, individualism, commercialism and escapism. From projects like All in the Family Roots and MASH; to people like Lorne Michaels, Fred Silverman, Norman Lear and Richard Pryor; and to industry issues like The Family Viewing Hour, The Kojak Trial and HBO v.

On the Road

Road movies have always defied strict classification. Loosely defined as narratives of characters traveling on a journey of self discovery, these films often encompass a blend of literary and cinematic genres, including coming of age novels, buddy movies and picaresque tales. In this course, we screen and discuss six road movies that highlight the difficulty of reducing this genre to its lowest common denominator. Whether they adopt the style of a classic film noir (Detour 1945) or venture into counterculture escapades (Easy Rider, 1969), these films use the journey to shine a spotlight on issues of cultural identity, socio political challenges and to capture the zeitgeist of the era in which they were created. Differently from traditional genres, road movies don’t rely on a closed set of cultural and moral values, as the road trip can either foster a sense of familial unity (Little Miss Sunshine, 2006) or serve as an escape from suffocating family dynamics (Thelma and Louise, 1991). They can also show the odyssey of a group of indi viduals trying to survive (O Brother, Where Art Thou? 2000) or the postmodern journey of a disgruntled hero searching for closure (The Limey 1999).

Fascism: Lessons from the Twentieth Century

In recent years, concern has grown across the world about a resur gence in fascism in countries as diverse as Hungary, Poland, Brazil, India, Turkey and the United States. Fascist tropes, styles and ideologi cal leanings have burst back into the public square. A new despotism has emerged, which uses the trappings of democracy to cultivate a mass psychology similar to and yet different from fascism. In this course, we examine four specific cases from the 20th century to better ground participants in how to look at what is happening now. These include Mussolini’s Italy, Hitler’s Germany, Francisco Franco’s Spain and Vichy France.

We then move forward in history, exploring different artistic rivalries and how they fueled artistic creation.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is probably the most famous prodigy in the history of classical music. As early as age five, he was already an accomplished performer on keyboard and violin and began compos ing music. His musical legacy, however, extends far beyond the mythos of these early years and he develops into one of the most important composers of the 18th century. This course surveys the works of Mozart in the context of his life and times and draws con nections between his works and a variety of personal and cultural issues.

Experiments in Freedom: The United States and African Americans, 1865-1900

The Reconstruction era was a period in United States history following the American Civil War; dominated by the legal, social, and political challenges of abolishing slavery; and reintegrating the former Con federate States of America into the United States. It overlapped the Gilded Age, which was characterized by rapid economic growth, a flood of immigration and scandalous politics. In this course, we examine the African American experience during the Reconstruction era and the Gilded Age with special focus on federal efforts to empower ex slaves and freedmen’s efforts at holding onto their newly emancipated status in the face of implacable southern opposition. This is one of the darker chapters in US history; however, it is also one marked by extraordinary heroism and courage by both blacks and whites who sought an unprecedented social revolution in the former confederate states.

Post World War II, America’s mood turned increasingly dark, leading to the growing popularity of filmmaking called film noir. Featuring such elements as fatalism, brooding lighting, cynical heroes and duplicitous females, the genre captured growing disenchantment in cultural norms.

The Political Crisis in the Horn of Africa and its Wider Political Ramifications

The Horn of Africa, which comprises Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Somalia, and Sudan, has significant strategic importance and is the most conflicted part of Africa. In this course, we focus on the dynamics of these countries’ domestic conflicts and how they become regionalized or internationalized. We also discuss the escalating political tension between Ethiopia and its neighbors; potentially destabilizing not just Africa’s Horn but disrupting around one third of the global trade which passes through the Red Sea. Europe, Asia and the Persian Gulf coun tries are interconnected by this narrow sea lane which transports more than half a trillion dollars’ worth of goods. Its chokepoints are located on the coasts of Eritrea, Djibouti, Somalia and Yemen, on the other side of the water. It would be naïve to believe that other states, especially Yemen and oil rich Saudi Arabia, which occupy the eastern shores of the Red Sea, would not intervene when a major war unfolds on their doorsteps.

Short Stories from India

In this course, we read stories from India that illuminate Indian life during the years before, during and after British colonial rule. One example is Anita Desai’s “Pigeons at Daybreak,” which deals with the power of family and human relationships, particularly the significance of love and care in times of need and ailments. Desai describes her own work as an attempt to reveal “the truth that is nine tenth of the iceberg... submerged beneath the one tenth visible portion we call Reality.” Another example is Ruth Prawer Jhabvala’s “The Interview.” Writing for the New York Times, Pearl K. Bell characterizes Jhabvala as an “affectionately satiric observer of the conflict between traditional passivity and Westernized ambition within those battered by the indifferent tide of change in present day Indian life.” Class discussion is intended to encourage what David Damrosch called “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 experience. But if we don’t impose our expectations onto the new work, its distinctive qualities will enlarge our field of vision.” Course books: Other Voices, Other Vistas: Short Stories from Africa, China, India, Japan, and Latin America; and Jhumpa Lahiri’s Interpreter of Maladies.

In this course, we read Amy Licence’s Living in Squares, Loving in Triangles which introduces us to the brave, passionate and innovative lives and loves of these remarkable writers, artists and intellectuals (even T. S. Eliot, who popped in occasionally). We also read works by two of the group’s major literary luminaries, Virginia Woolf (1882 1941) and E. M. Forster (1879 1970). Their works include early short stories as well as their masterpiece novels, Woolf’s Mrs. Dalloway (1925) and Forster’s A Passage to India (1924).

Parables, Part 1: Zen Parables

Zen narratives point to the simple unity of life and have the effect of clearing our fragmented mind so that we can grasp reality and act on it here and now. In this course, we read a variety of traditional Zen parables and stories. Zen parables are longer versions of koans seemingly paradoxical statements that are designed to prompt self reflection and self illumination. There’s no one right way to interpret them, no one neat answer to explain them and no ultimate meaning that can be derived. The course book, 108 Zen Parables and Stories (Sacred Wisdom Stories), is organized into three categories: The Art of Zen Teaching, The Art of Zen Living and The Art of Zen Dying, and includes such parables as “Reaching Enlightenment,” “The Value of Silence,” “The Gift of Insults” and “True Giving.” Each story, no matter how short and simple, holds a key to resolution of timeless problems every person faces.

The Many Faces of Bette Davis

Bette Davis’s fame was not based on her looks, as she was not con sidered to be conventionally attractive in her time. Before she made her first film, makeup artist Jack Pierce told her, “Your eyelashes are too short, hair’s a nondescript color, mouth’s too small, a fat little Dutch girl’s face, and a neck that’s too long.” In this course, we discover how Bette Davis rose to become one of the greatest actresses in Hollywood history a true screen legend. And how, at a time when actresses were considered accessories to their male counterparts, she carried virtu ally every picture herself, and in doing so, helped to redefine what a woman’s role was in society. We also look at her persona; although most people think of her as playing overbearing, temperamental and spiteful women, this was not always the case. When most actresses were considered finished by age 30, Bette went on to star in over 90 films, receiving a whopping 11 Oscar nominations for Best Actress, as well as an Emmy. We view and discuss seven films showcasing her immense talent in very diverse roles a beautiful, albeit spoiled Southern belle in Jezebel (1938); a British monarch in Elizabeth, the Queen (1939); a murderess in The Letter (1940); a renowned author in Old Acquaintance (1943); a vain society woman in Mr. Skeffington (1944); a celebrated actress in All About Eve (1950) and a recluse with a troubled past in Hush..Hush, Sweet Charlotte (1964).

Qigong for a Healthy Body and Peaceful Mind

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 in China over the last 5000 years to follow the natural flow of the earth’s energy and improve the circula tion of internal Qi (Chi) from the body and external Qi from nature. In this course, we practice various Broad Prescription Qigong (BPQ) sets of movements. While sitting and standing and using the body move ments and harmonized breath work, we increase our body’s natural energy flow and fill the energy centers in our body with vital life force, or Qi.

Beginning Mah-Jongg

Mah Jongg is a game of both skill and luck that originated in China many centuries ago. It was brought to the West in the 1920s and is played with four players seated around a table. Tiles are shuffled, die are cast, and rituals involving the allocation of tiles and then the exchange of tiles begin. The first person to match a hand of 14 tiles and thus call “Mah Jongg” ends the game, whereupon tiles are scored and a winner is declared. This course introduces the beginner to the basic rules and simple strategies. Learn to play this enjoyable, social and thought provoking game! Every student must purchase the cur rent Mah Jongg card from the National Mah Jongg League at www. nationalmahjonggleague.org. The large card is preferred.

Introduction to Protein Structure: From Disease to Therapy

4.0 units

Proteins are involved in almost every physiological process that occurs within the body. They are necessary for countless metabolic pro cesses, including converting glucose into energy, carrying oxygen in your blood, and recognizing and destroying foreign pathogens. Know ing the structure of the proteins that perform these essential functions is paramount to understanding how they work normally and why mutations lead to disease. Although proteins are involved in innumer able diseases, they may also be key in the development of therapeutic treatments. By understanding protein structure, scientists can design small molecules and even novel proteins that can treat a variety of diseases. This course provides an introduction to protein and nucleic acid structure as it relates to the essential functions that these mac romolecules perform within cells. Lectures focus on how protein structure relates to a variety of common human pathologies and on the therapies that are used to treat these diseases.

PATH X 401

Introduction to Molecular Diagnostics, Pharmacogenetics and Personalized Medicine

4.0 units

Variations in human DNA over generations result in evolution and beneficial adaptations. However, some changes in human DNA that cause genetic variation occasionally result in genetic disorders. The field of molecular diagnostics focuses on the development of tests that aid in the diagnosis and prognosis of disease, as well as predict disease risk. The information gained by this type of diagnostics can identify the abnormal molecules that signify the presence or potential for disease in individuals. As a result, clinicians can now prescribe drugs or other therapies that target the specific abnormal function. The emerging field of pharmacogenetics aims at predicting the drug response based on an individual’s genetic profile, thus helping clini cians to tailor effective treatments. This course overviews the basic principles of molecular diagnostics and pharmacogenetics and the applications of the emerging technologies in personalized medicine. Students learn about the clinical applications of molecular diagnostic in patients with cancer, inherited disease, and infectious disease. The course concludes with detailed discussions on personalized medicine and the pros, cons, ethics, challenges, strategies, and public policy related to this emerging field.

3.0 units

This generative writing course is designed for those seeking to create essays and/or flash fiction that are composed of complex layering of memory and thought, history and imagination. The popularity of both genres, the personal essay and flash fiction, has increased as a result of today’s digital age at a time when work can be submitted to online magazines and/or anthologies and also can be uploaded on personal blogs or public spaces. Both genres are generally texts that are up to 1000 words and are highly marketable. The texts inspire both readers and writers to discover new perspectives for looking at the world, understanding their lives, and discovering meaning in random moments from their lives. In this four day course, you will have the opportunity to explore your own writing, listen to talks and readings by published writers who produce texts across genres, study market ing techniques, and in the process, generate new work that you will have the opportunity to revise by participating in the workshopping process. By the end of our four days together, you will craft at least two texts one essay and one flash fiction and develop seeds for other new work. Suitable for both new and experienced writers. Because of the compressed timeframe, students can expect a mixture of lecture, guest speakers, discussion, workshopping and in class writing time as part of their experience.

Comics and Graphic Novels

3.0 units

There’s a fascinating series of tensions in comics. The tension between word and image, between what’s seen and unseen, passive and active readership, expectations and pay offs, space and time and, of course, the dramatic tension that makes a given scene engaging. There’s also the tension that can arise between creative collaborators, so this course will also explore what makes for good collaboration. Comics are referred to as “the Ninth Art” in France, and it’s key to understand the medium’s similarities and differences with artforms as deeply as possible. A writer simply handing a screenplay to an art team and asking them to go figure it out, for instance, is almost always a recipe for disaster. A comics script that’s been carefully tailored to the form, however, has far better chance to soar. Through a series of practical workshops, lectures that make the most nuanced theories accessible and helpful perspectives from a selection of working professional guest speakers, this course will be giving you all the insight to make the best comic possible.

Pitching for Film and Television

3.0 units

Aspiring film and television writers can spend years getting their scripts to a place where they gain traction, earning them desired meetings with industry professionals such as agents, managers, producers, showrunners and executives. Many writers find themselves unprepared for the opportunities that their hard word has earned. They may get overwhelmed or feel ill equipped to communicate what is special about their projects or why they, (with so many other writers out there) should be hired for a particular writing assignment. In other words, they don’t know how to pitch themselves and their projects. There’s no way around it, pitching is an essential part of the business and sometimes you “gotta tell it to sell it.” This course deconstructs and demystifies the pitching process in a way that helps writers build effective pitches and communicate them in a style that fits their personality. We’ll explore the difference between pitching for film and television, identify the commercial potential of your project, role play industry pitching scenarios and empower you to pitch with confi dence. You’ll leave the course with a set of practical tools to help you pitch your film or television project in a way that generates excitement about you and your work.

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.

Setting and Description

3.0 units

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

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.

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.

Literary journalism is nonfiction prose that transcends “who, what, where, and when” to give a more detailed, richer and vivid picture of real events.

Writing the Review

3.0 units

Everybody’s a critic, or so they say. When you can share any and every opinion on social media, what makes professionally published reviews special? Why should one person’s take on a movie, TV show, book or other piece of art matter more than yours or mine? But the truth lies in the opposite: When everyone has a platform to offer their opinion, learning the true art of criticism is all the more important for standing out. In this course, we learn how to effectively and compellingly crafted cultural critiques, with units on film, TV, books, literature and more. We read reviews by professional critics while exploring the different multimedia platforms criticism can live on today. The focus of this class is on sharpening your critical faculties and developing your voice as a writer, with the ultimate goal of finding your space as a respected critic.

The Continuing Poet

3.0 units

The pursuit of poetry is a sustained, often lonesome, practice. Stu dents who complete early creative writing courses can feel that they miss the pressures of workshop, of having and meeting a deadline, and of participating in conversations about their poems. You may be at an intermediate stage: you have written poems, but not enough of them to consider a book length work. You’re still looking for a space to continue with a serious engagement in the art as you hone your work toward publication. In this creative writing poetry course, continuing poets will read a selection of contemporary books, dis cussing the merits of both individual poems and entire collections in the interest of developing a unique poetic voice while building their portfolio. Students will complete assigned readings, take part in online discussions, and participate in workshop to develop, write, and revise 5 new poems which they send out for publication by the end of quarter. Students leave the class with a better understanding of their own poetic talents and of their unique relationship to the larger poetic tradition as they continue to write. Each quarter, a new set of contemporary collections will be assigned so that this class may be taken over again as the student continues to write poems toward a manuscript collection.

Crafting the Thematic Heart and Soul of Your Story

1.0 units

If structure is the skeleton of a story, theme is its heart and soul. It’s what makes your story universal and what raises it above all those that simply entertain. If your goal is to craft a story that resonates emotionally with a global audience, this course guides you through theme and how it unifies character and plot. Through lectures, discus sions, and practical writing assignments, you learn why a clearly defined thematic argument is the foundation of a great story, how theme is different from premise, motif, or subject matter, and how to find it for your story. You explore the most successful and often used themes in classic and modern films, and apply effective techniques to tap into the thematic argument of your story and make sure it remains “invisible” throughout the story. With so many definitions and misunderstandings, this course demystifies theme once and for all.

3.0 units

It’s been proven that by using acting techniques including scene study and improvisation, the writer can go deeper into character and story development. This course teaches the writer how to approach the creation of a character from the vantage point of the actor. Since characters are the most important component to any script, learning to use the tools employed by actors to capture their roles will pave the way for the writer to create the most well defined character for his story. In addition, it can enhance the writing of the script and is a great tool for fine tuning the writer’s pitch for episodic and pilot ideas. We cover the basic principles of character exploration. Where is the character’s dominating center of energy? Class members participate in improvisational exercises and act in the monologues, sketches and scenes they have written. By the end of the term, each writer creates several original characters for a pilot or episodic story concept grown out of class work.

How to Research Your Story

3.0 units

Research always pays off (and not just when it comes to historical works of fiction). This is especially true when it comes to things that we think we know, things we’ve seen depicted before, like the inner workings of a law firm or the emergency room in a hospital. The most important step in writing a screenplay (or novel) is gaining the breadth of knowledge and mastery of the material that’s necessary to write with authority. The facts you find are almost always better than the stuff that you make up, and the creative decisions and choices you make based on research lead to improvements that won’t happen in any other way. The goal of the course is to learn how to gain mastery and become an authority on the subject of a script you are currently developing. Students must bring either an outline or a completed script to be ready to workshop at the start of class.

Creating Memorable Characters Through Their Core 3.0 units

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

One-Hour or Half-Hour TV V: Rewrite

3.0 units

Whether you’ve written a one hour or half hour tv script, (pilot or a spec of an existing series) your goal is the same: to dig deeper, raise the stakes higher, stretch your characters further to make your script one that will leave an indelible mark on its readers. If you’re writing a pilot, have you introduced us to characters and situations that we want to come back to week after week? If you’re writing a spec of an existing show, have you been true to the characters and situations as we know them, and still told a story that is somehow new? 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 one hour or half hour script until it’s a story that demands the reader’s attention.
