Improvisação no Jazz
Aprenda os conceitos básicos de improvisação com Gary Burton, um dos improvisadores mais renomados do mundo do jazz, incluindo os processos mentais, melódicos e harmônicos que contribuem com as habilidades instintivas que um improvisador põe em prática ao realizar um solo. Embora muitas pessoas sejam fãs de jazz e compreendam que os músicos estão frequentemente "compondo" as notas que tocam durante uma apresentação, a maioria das pessoas — o que geralmente inclui os próprios músicos que estão aprendendo a improvisar — não sabe com clareza quais são os processos exatos que ocorrem e fazem isso tudo acontecer. O objetivo deste curso é apresentar os conceitos básicos da improvisação moderna e mostrar como dominar as diferentes habilidades musicais e mentais envolvidas. O autor do curso, Gary Burton, codifica uma abordagem muito procurada da improvisação, a qual tem sido o centro do currículo da Berklee College of Music há décadas. Os alunos que concluírem esse curso saberão o que e como praticar os diversos aspectos da improvisação, além de compreenderem como o improvisador se comunica espontaneamente com os ouvintes por meio de suas criações musicais.

¿Qué hacen los buenos directivos? Prioridades de la Alta Dirección
Este curso persigue adentrarse en la realidad del trabajo de un alto ejecutivo: lo qué hace y cómo lo hace. Es un hecho conocido que la mayoría de altos directivos dedican hasta el 90% de su tiempo al día a día y menos del 10% a las tareas asociadas al pensamiento estratégico en la organización. Por eso es importante ir más allá y entender las prioridades que configuran esta actuación diaria. Al final, la mejor estrategia es aquella que se practica; la mejor organización, aquella que funciona; y el quehacer cotidiano coherente con las prioridades establecidas, la base de la continuidad con éxito de las empresas. El objetivo del curso es aportar una visión estructurada de cómo logran este objetivo los “buenos directivos”, con la voluntad de que sirva a futuros altos ejecutivos a orientar mejor su carrera, a enfocar sus actividades y a desarrollar su propio estilo de dirección. El curso profundiza en las prioridades de la Alta Dirección a partir de la actuación diaria de directivos de probada valía y con éxito profesional en empresas diversas. El contenido está basado en los resultados de las entrevistas personales que hemos realizado a más de 200 directores generales de compañías muy diversas. Gran parte de este material ha quedado recogido en los libros publicados “Qué hacen los buenos directivos. El reto del siglo XXI” y “Yo Dirijo”, cuya lectura recomendamos a todo aquel que desee ampliar su perspectiva sobre esta materia. El modelo que se propugna en curso es el resultado de una amplia investigación empírica; no es una doctrina, sino un instrumento mental para ayudar a construir una configuración empresarial que potencie el hacer de la gente para que, sin dejación de su derecho a ser felices y a la autonomía, logren su plenitud como personas y como profesionales, a la vez que la compañía alcanza cotas altas en los indicadores de salud empresarial.

Full-stack Development with Django: Managing Migrations
Within this 2-hour long guided project you will learn how to develop a fullstack web application using Django framework. The focus of this Django course resides in dealing with the django migrations which defines the database structure, having a more intensive part in the backend rather thant the templates frontend. Your mission is to create a proof of concept for a new investment product which will be easily understood by non-investors. This bot monitors the exchange rates between two currencies and automatically performs a currency exchange transaction when the rate is favorable by a certain small threshold, mimicking the operations of traditional currency exchange companies. You have been assigned to develop a proof of concept project based on this idea. The initiative's success hinges on your pace of development. This opportunity places you in a key role, potentially making you a standout figure for this new minimal viable product. To create this minimal viable product, you will set up a Django project with the admin UI enabled, create Django migrations (including an empty migration with data to be inserted), roll back buggy migrations, and render a dashboard to display the current balance status of your portfolio. After completing this guided project, you will have set up a Django project from scratch, gaining backend knowledge about how to handle real-life data structure iterations. Furthermore, you will have an MVP of a trading bot that you can use for your own investments. To get the most out of this course, some experience with Python, relational databases, and HTML is recommended.

Consulting Approach to Problem Solving
This is the #3 course in the specialization on management consulting. Management consultants excel at solving difficult and complex business problems. How do they do this? Shouldn’t clients know more about their situation than external consultants? Consultants are trained to systematically break down problems into logical pieces, then aggressively pursue answers with data: • Think about the problem broadly; strategy, operations, people, technology • Define the problem clearly; articulate “what does success look like?” • Break the problem into “buckets” so it is easy to understand • Use hypotheses to “guess” your way to the potential answer(s) • Find and clean up messy data; convert the data into useful recommendations

Production of concrete
Concrete production involves selecting and mixing raw materials—cement, water, fine and coarse aggregates—in precise proportions to achieve desired strength and durability. The process includes batching, thorough mixing, and transporting the concrete in rotating drum trucks to prevent premature setting. At the construction site, concrete is poured into molds, vibrated to remove air bubbles, and then cured under controlled conditions to harden and gain strength. This careful process ensures the creation of a durable and versatile material for various construction applications. Target learners Civil Engineering Students, faculties and working professionals
