Teaching Texts and Forms
The first job of any writer is to get words down on paper, and teaching writing as process helps students gain the fluency, comfort and confidence they need to succeed at any writing task. But complex, comprehensive writing tasks often bring with them specific expectations and conventions the writer must address to be successful. This course will examine some of those more comprehensive writing tasks: personal essays; argument, analysis and other forms of transactional writing; and creative writing. Learners will also identify strategies for supporting the reading/writing connection and practical assignments for engaging students in writing around texts.

Understanding and Managing the Stresses of Police Work
Policing has always been psychological challenging. On any given shift police officers may encounter a range of psychological challenges including domestic violence, interacting with people experiencing mental health issues, violent crime, even attending the aftermath of horrible accidents. The long exhausting shifts can also result in stressful person interactions within one’s personal life. The presence of COVID and political issues related to instances of over-policing have increased these stresses even more. This course has two goals. First, we want to inform officers how their stress system works and why they sometimes feel as they do. With this as a foundation we then describe some strategies officers can use to manage this system, giving themselves much needed breaks from the stress response and overall empowering them with a greater sense of control over how their bodies react to stress.

Microeconomía
La economía no solo está en los libros: está en cada decisión que tomamos, desde elegir qué comprar hasta entender por qué suben los precios o cómo funcionan las empresas. Este curso de microeconomía está diseñado para todas las personas, sin importar su edad o experiencia previa. Muchas veces escuchamos hablar de macroeconomía —inflación, desempleo, crecimiento—, pero la microeconomía es la que explica las decisiones más cercanas de nuestra vida cotidiana: cómo elegimos como consumidores, cómo producen las empresas y cómo funcionan los mercados donde interactuamos todos los días. Para hacer más cercana esta experiencia, usaremos la narrativa del fútbol como metáfora: cada jugada, rol y torneo nos servirá para darle nombre a lo que en realidad sucede en la economía diaria. El objetivo de este curso es entender que detrás de cada decisión de consumo, producción o costos hay dinámicas económicas que podemos reconocer y analizar. Organizamos el curso como si fueras a ver un campeonato: dividimos los temas que aborda la microeconomía en cuatro módulos. En el Módulo 1 conocerás los principios de la microeconomía, gráficos, costo de oportunidad y la frontera de posibilidades de producción (las reglas básicas del juego). En el Módulo 2 verás cómo se define la oferta, demanda, equilibrio y elasticidad (el marcador). En el Módulo 3 analizarás el rol de los consumidores, productores y costos (los jugadores en la cancha). Finalmente, en el Módulo 4 veremos tipos de mercados y mercado laboral (el campeonato completo). Con lecturas claras, videos breves y quizzes prácticos, este curso te dará herramientas para reconocer cómo se toman decisiones en la economía y cómo se organiza “el partido” que jugamos todos los días. Objetivos del curso: - Reconocer los principios fundamentales de la Economía (las reglas básicas del juego), que permiten analizar el funcionamiento de los mercados. - Comprender el proceso de determinación de precios y del equilibrio de mercado (cómo se define el marcador) a partir de la interacción entre oferta y demanda. - Analizar el comportamiento de consumidores y productores, así como el rol de los costos en sus decisiones (los jugadores en la cancha y su estrategia). - Diferenciar los distintos tipos de mercados, incluido el mercado laboral, y analizar sus características y resultados (los distintos formatos de campeonato).
