Departmental colloquium in statistics.
This course will serve to provide an opportunity for Students who are Directing Concentrates to develop their thesis projects within a structured environment. The course may be taught in every week or alternating week formats. Students will be encouraged to submit ideas, treatments, scripts, rough cuts and fine cuts of their thesis films. The class is collaborative and serves as a base from which Directors can try out concepts and ideas, and receive input from fellow students as well as their thesis advisor.
This course offers an advanced exploration of a theme, tradition, or figure in 19th-century philosophy.

Section 001: A great TV series starts with a great pilot episode. You have one chance to intrigue an audience and stand out from hundreds of other series—599 were released in 2022, and that only includes the English language releases! This course will share the building blocks needed to write the next compelling series, starting with the pilot. Not all buyers want to read a finished pilot, but as the creator, you’ll need to know your pilot inside out and become an expert in your series’ genre if you want to sell it. This course will be a combination of pilot outlining and scene writing with an exploration of character and theme. All this through the lens of the marketplace and your authentic, lived experience—the magic combination for a winning series. We will workshop your outlines and scenes in class. Any assigned readings, screenings, and exercises will be focused as much as possible on inspiring material that relates to your pilot/series idea.
This course will support you if you want to write a full pilot script. However, the main objective is to finish the course having written a pilot outline and key scenes, as well as other material that's vital to a successful pilot and series such as character and season one breakdowns. You should come to the first class with at least two original logline/elevator pitches for series ideas to which you have a strong personal connection.
Existing ideas that you feel would benefit from this coursework are also welcome.

Writing For the Screen is a screenwriting workshop for second/ Reserach Arts year creative producing students. Each student will write and present a feature screenplay. Students will submit their work for critique, while critiquing the work of fellow students. The class is about process rather than product; the aim is to further each students understanding of writing visual narrative. Students will also pitch ideas to the class, and work collaboratively to determine which format those ideas are best suited to feature films.
The Master's Thesis is one of the options for a capstone requirement of all students in all tracks of the MPH program of the Department of Environmental Health Sciences (EHS). The thesis is intended to reflect the training you have received in the MPH program and demonstrate your ability to design, analyze, research and present scholarly writing relevant to your major field of interest.
Writing the thesis is an essential experience that could further your career development and or an application for further studies in academia. Employers seek in potential employees with a MPH degree the ability to write articles and reports, and want to see evidence that you can design studies, analyze data, and write scientific papers. If you plan to continue your academic studies, developing expertise and demonstrating your ability as a writer are two important skills required of doctoral candidates. A well-written paper is a great asset that you can bring with you to a job interview or include in an application for further study. The thesis ought to demonstrate your ability to think clearly and convey your thoughts effectively and thereby provide an example of your understanding and insight into a substantive area in which you have developed expertise.
Journal Club is a one credit course that meets once weekly and is designed to keep doctoral students (PhD and DrPH) abreast of current developments in specific areas of interest to Environmental Health Sciences. Each semester, in consultation with the class, a new topic is selected to examine in depth utilizing critical analysis of recent publications. Students are each expected to present an article to the class and to provide critical thinking and evaluation of research findings and the authors’ conclusions. In preparation for entry into the public health workforce, whether in government service, profit or non-profit corporations, academia, scientific research, policy and planning, administration or regulatory affairs, the students are expected to improve their skills in public speaking, reading of scientific literature, critical thinking and analysis of published research findings. Vigorous discussion among the class is expected each week.
Prescribed for M.S. candidates; elective for others with the approval of the Department. Degree candidates are to conduct an investigation of some problem in chemical engineering. No more than 6 points in this course may be counted for graduate credit.
