Writing for the Screen
Revision
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.

Epidemiologic Challenges in Substance Us
EPID CHALLENGES IN SUBSTA
How can epidemiologic methods be used to address challenges in substance use research and ultimately reduce the health burden related to substance use? Populations that are disproportionately affected by substance use and related health outcomes are often systematically excluded from large study samples. We must examine existing evidence and gaps in epidemiologic research in order to expand our understanding of substance use across communities.
This course will explore methodological challenges that arise in the study of substance use, substance use disorder, and related health outcomes across populations. Lectures will include both substantive and methodological components. Substantive topics of focus include social determinants of health, harm reduction, stigma, overdose prevention, and substance use treatment. A range of populations will be examined across the life course, including people who are involved in the criminal justice system, pregnant women, and sexual minorities. Methodological challenges will be presented in two units. The first unit will discuss epidemiologic issues related to internal and external validity, confounding, information bias, and selection bias in substance use research. The second unit will present analytic approaches to address specific methodological challenges, such as clustering of observations or comparing unbalanced populations. Learners will be able to describe and critique research studies that target the individual, social and/or structural levels that influence substance use across communities. They will also critically examine how substance use research findings are presented in the media. Participation in class discussion, experiential learning activities, and a final project will be used to evaluate progress towards learning objectives.

Master's Essay in Epidemiology I
MASTER'S ESSAY IN EPI I
All candidates for the M.P.H. and the M.S. degrees in epidemiology are required to write a master's thesis, usually based on an original analysis of previously collected epidemiologically relevant data. Students are responsible, with assistance from faculty, for finding a dataset and two readers, one of whom must be a faculty member in the Department of Epidemiology. Students register for P9419 at least two semesters before the targeted graduation date and it is required that students obtain access to a dataset they will use for their thesis prior to the course. The course guides students through development of the master’s thesis proposal by reviewing critical elements in writing each element of a thesis, development of a study question, writing specific aims, study design and analysis.
