Grab a cup of tea and join Keli for a discussion on the long anticipated Netflix live action adaptation of Avatar the Last Airbender, Season 2. In this module we'll discuss one of the live action episodes for each class session. While not required, it is highly recommended that students have seen seasons one and two of the animated series, and the first season of the Netflix adaptation as we will be discussing adaptation choices. During the module, students should watch the episodes from Avatar the Last Airbender, Season 2 in between sessions. [show less]

In this series, we’re going to read different stories in Spanish and talk about them. Every month there will be a new selection of stories: we might read fairy tales, children’s stories, poetry, or fragments of famous Latin American and Spanish authors depending on the students’ language level. During each class, we will read a fragment, practice the pronunciation, clarify grammar and meaning, and discuss the stories. Since this isn’t a sequential series, students can join any month. Before each module in the series begins, the preceptor will send a questionnaire to check students’ language level. (*Note: Upper Beginner knowledge of Spanish is required. ) [show less]

This course is a lively introduction to the big ideas of film studies. Through lectures, clips, and discussion, we'll explore film history, genre, authorship, culture, and the many ways we can interpret what we see on screen. Whether you're a devoted cinephile or simply love watching movies, you'll leave with new ways to think about—and enjoy—the films you watch. This course builds on LCM1: Intro to Reading Films, but it’s not necessary to take that before taking this one. The two together will just give a strong foundation for the film courses to come from Maggie in her two series of classes. *Note: Since this module is about visual interpretation of a scene, parts of it may not be accessible for visual/sight or hearing impaired.
