Hi there! I’m an adjunct in the Media Arts and Technology Department. Currently teaching my favorite course — screenwriting. It’s an incredible experience to see how revising really improves previous drafts.
I’ve been using OpenLab in my screenwriting course for several years now, and I think it’s a powerful and affordable tool — when the students use it. It’s clear who is using it and who is not so one thing I aim to do in this summer session is to streamline it so that it features the basics students need to know without having so much material that students find it overwhelming. (Though, that said, I think some students just don’t log in either because they don’t easily remember their student login info or because they’re just phoning in the class.)
This summer, I am looking for and diving into as many writing and music projects as possible. I’m currently in three bands, and looking to maybe start teaching music to children (piano and theory). Also planning to read as much as possible. Would like to read the complete works of Jane Austen maybe. Getting back into shape is on the agenda as well. A little 5k next weekend will kick things off, then I need to get back into longer runs and more consistent running and cycling days.
Looking forward to meeting everyone and redesigning my screenwriting course during this seminar!
