This foundational course will examine the philosophy of nursing knowledge including foundations of nursing theory; concept development; and its application to research. Students will explore approaches to the analysis and development of concepts and the application of nursing concepts and frameworks to clinical practice and research. Ideas, assumptions, events, people, and writings are examined for their influence, inter-relationships and significance to nursing. Types of reasoning will be evaluated within the context of nursing and health. Major theories, frameworks and concepts of nursing and health, and their implication for research will be discussed. The focus of the course will be on development of critical thinking skills in analyzing key elements of philosophies, concepts and conceptual frameworks.
So, you’ve written a draft of a script (TV pilot or feature) and you’re not quite happy with it. Deep down inside you believe the script has potential, but you also know that it needs a lot of work. This class is here to help! The goal of this writing workshop is to help you complete a revision of a script (either a TV pilot or a feature film screenplay). Most importantly, the goal is to help your script realize its potential! Through a workshop process, I and your fellow students will provide you with helpful feedback to identify your script’s story problems and help you devise and implement solutions. By the end of the semester, you will come away with a NEW AND IMPROVED VERSION OF YOUR SCRIPT! REQUIREMENTS
