This course explores the creation of sound effects for linear and interactive media using real time synthesis models and prototypes. Techniques ranging from subtractive synthesis to physical modeling will be explored in an attempt to better understand the nature of various types of common sound effects from the standpoint
of acoustics and physics. A hands-on approach is strongly encouraged and students are required to build audio models and sound effects engines using real time tools such as MaxMSP and Pure Data.

Detailed exploration of the aesthetic, technical, and “psychological” skills and tools required for the production of a master recording by a performer/artist other than producer. Producers will learn how to nurture and develop a vision for each recording; establish a creative environment; collaborate with writers and performers; elicit the best performances by the creative and technical team they assemble; realize the best production possible with the tools available; and create a production to which the target audience (and beyond) wishes to continue to listen.

This course will explore the esthetic and technical skills and tools necessary for the production of artistically and commercially successful demonstration recordings of songs. Students will learn how to: establish an environment in which creativity can flourish; elicit the best performances by all involved in a recording; make the best recording possible with the tools available in a given work environment; nurture and develop a vision for each recording; create a recording to which the target audience (and beyond) wishes to continue to listen.

This is an exciting and potentially transformative moment for cultural production across the globe. This class will go behind the scenes to explore how culture (music, cinema, art, journalism, television dramas, social media, etc.) actually gets made. We will adopt a critical approach, reflecting on what's at stake, and investigate the social-structural, organizational, and technological forces that partially determine the aesthetic and political qualities of a range of cultural products.

The examination of the ethical guidelines of the professions & their application to the specialization of mental health counseling will include attention to processes & model of ethical decision making.

To redress anti-blackness in science teaching and learning, we must move beyond ‘Black representation in STEM fields’ as this primarily positions Black science geniuses in the past. Instead in this course we will reposition the historical and present day genius of Black scientific innovations and practices in science so that we can imagine a more affirming and humanizing future through curricular design and archival research. This course aims to humanize Black science cultural practices by centering the work of everyday people in the past, present, and future. In this course students will consider the history of science and science education, both within and beyond the confines of westernized science by engaging with research that looked to the archives to explore Black pedagogical practices. Specifically we will learn about the ways Black teachers prior to Brown vs. Board of Education, 1954 engaged in pedagogical practices that centered love, liberation, and community so that we might use this history to inspire how we might present anti-racist science teaching to all students in our classrooms. Anti-blackness in the use of science today impacts us all and limits our ability to participate in a fully democratic and just society, students will be given the opportunity to consider the misuse of science in their own communities and what they previously accepted as fact versus structural injustices. By the end of the course, students will present on their own research project or science unit storyline that meets at the intersection of Black pedagogical practices, science learning, and historical/current uses of science in our everyday lives.

This course provides an overview of the broader field of educational media and technology with a focus on identifying personal and professional goals in relation to various career pathways and trends in the field.
