Comic Books, Geek Culture, and the Fandom Imaginary
"Comic Books, Geek Culture, and the Fandom Imaginary" explores some of the conventional framings of “fandom” (from comic book obsessives to cosplayers) and the cultural histories that sustain it. It also explores the dark side of these dynamics, looking at what can happen when fandom turns toxic in pop culture spaces. You will continue to apply frameworks of self-reflection and close reading/analysis to the study of contemporary popular culture, and explore how those frameworks provide tools for understanding the self as much as our cultural surroundings. The course asks the fundamental question: how can what we love - what we read, what we watch, what we share - contribute to making the world a better place? Along the way, you’ll continue to develop your skills in honing and representing your fandom, specifically engaging in activities designed to help you find your fellow fans, help you find your people, and connect with them outside and beyond the course. Course-Level Learning Outcomes * Define and describe the dynamics of geek culture (fantasy, science fiction, comic books, graphic novels), as well as its relationships to fandom, popular culture, and digital media * Apply critical self-reflection and close reading frameworks through analytical writing and creative expression * Engage with pop culture and fandom communities by leveraging online platforms to make connections and synthesize learning * Reflect on your personal relationship to geek culture (fantasy, science fiction, comic books, graphic novels), and how popular culture intersects with memory and nostalgia Course 3 Skills: * Analysis * Self-Reflection * Critical Thinking * Communication * Culture * Close Reading

Optimize Agentic AI: Algorithms for Peak Performance
Optimize Agentic AI: Algorithms for Peak Performance is an intermediate course for AI practitioners and engineers aiming to build fast, scalable, and responsive agentic systems. In the real world, an AI agent's intelligence is useless if it is too slow. This course equips learners with the tools to diagnose and solve these critical performance bottlenecks. You will learn to master essential algorithm optimization techniques, moving beyond slow, brute-force methods. Through hands-on labs, you will replace baseline planners with sophisticated informed search algorithms such as beam search and quantitatively measure the dramatic improvements in planning time. You will also learn to analyze the computational complexity of multi-tool reasoning pipelines using Big-O notation, using profilers to pinpoint the exact functions and data structures that create system slowdowns. By the end of the course, you will not only be able to implement critical optimizations—such as using an index to reduce complexity from O(n²) to O(log n)—but also to write a professional technical proposal to justify your engineering decisions.
