Analysis of Pop and Rock Music
Popular music is a repertoire. While in some ways its inner workings may seem simpler than Western Classical music, its musical materials can be extremely complex and varied. This becomes especially true when considering the music materials' interactions with their cultural surroundings and means of social production. This class will balance musical analysis with this social theory, delving into rock's compositional norms (harmony, syntax, rhythms, and the like) while asking why these choices are made.
P- Leadership Practicum
No matter where you end up in tech, you will need to explain concepts, products and ideas to people with different technical backgrounds. This course is intended to help prepare you for these communication tasks. Through the lens of tutoring, we will work on explaining technical ideas clearly and compassionately to others. We will do some theoretical study, including a history of CS education as well as brain and learning science, and some practice, including tutoring beginning students in CS.
Law for School Leaders
To prepare educational leaders to be informed law teachers in their schools. The focus is on how courts resolve conflicts in areas such as due process, discipline, search and seizure, liability for student injury, student and teacher freedom of expression and religion, dress codes, teachers' personal lives, discrimination and affirmative action, academic freedom, and school rules.
