Contract management is an essential part of project management. Contracts define the agreement between owner and contractor, or contractor and subcontractor, specifying each party's obligations in the execution of projects and how responsibilities and risks are allocated. The contract also functions as the basic written tool for controlling the project: it describes and defines the project, specifies how and when the project will be executed, and serves as the basis for communication among project team members.
This course employs lecture, case study, and class discussion to explore various aspects of project contracts, including types of contractual arrangements and fee options, the elements of project contracts and their purposes, and contract points and contract management examined from both owner and contractor perspectives. The course is broadly applicable, with relevance to such diverse fields as computer software, architecture, engineering, and construction. To maximize the course's relevance to actual work situations, students are encouraged to raise questions and issues from their own work experience in the online message board discussion.
This course is a new requirement for the Certificate Program in Project Management. |

Scenes aren't just a lot of talk, they're full of action. So writers beware: a static scene can bring a script to a dead halt. In this course, the various layers of scene writing are explored and writers are provided tools for creating dynamic scenes--scenes that move the story and characters toward the inevitable climax. Various tensions in scenes--between what is said and what is unspoken, between upfront reasons and background motives--are investigated. Progressing from the basics (action, behavior, and dialogue) and moving through the refining elements (such as rhythm/pace, tone, and visual imagery), writers receive feedback on the dynamics of their scenes, including guidance on essential points, such as the art of leaving out and where a scene really ends. |

Reading is the customer-end of writing. No matter how well we think we write, if other people don't understand a document we create or it causes needless fatigue, then we have failed to satisfy our customers. We also have failed to achieve the intended goal of our writing--whether it is to persuade, inform, or entertain. This fact is as true for marketing brochures, presentation slides, and Web sites as it is for reports and books. In this online course, you learn the factors that contribute to readable documents and apply them to your writing. This course is intended to provide you with the information and skills you need to identify factors that affect readability, such as format, space, color, text length and syntax, graphics, and vocabulary; adjust document readability to meet the needs of diverse readers; identify Web and computer presentation design features that either can aid or impede readability; locate online and other resources for creating readable documents; and create highly readable documents. |
