[11]Creativity: Music to my Ears with Tina Seelig BUSINESS & MANAGEMENT [12]Organizational Analysis March 31: Daniel McFarland It is hard to imagine living in modern society without participating in or interacting with organizations. How do we make sense of organizations and the challenges they face, let alone develop means of managing them in desired directions? Every week, you’ll learn a different organizational theory, and it will become a lens through which you can interpret concrete organizational situations. [13]....more DESIGN & CREATIVITY [14]Creativity: Music to my Ears Starts April 2: Tina Seelig Creativity: Music to My Ears is a six-week course designed to explore several factors that stimulate creativity in individuals, teams, and organizations. All of the projects in this experiential course will deal with some aspect of music, including listening, creating, and sharing. No musical talent is required – just an interest in exploring the role that music plays in our lives. [15]....more EDUCATION [16]Mastering Language for the Common Core State Standards: [17]​Focus on Mathematics in the Elementary Grades March 26: Kenji Hakuta In this course teachers will be provided with a range of practical tools for gathering and analyzing language samples that show how students learn and what supports they need in elementary math classrooms. [18]....more [19]How to Learn Math: For Teachers and Parents ($125 fee) Starts June 15: Jo Boaler Explore the new research ideas on mathematics learning and student mindsets that can transform students' experiences with math. The sessions are all interactive and include various thinking tasks to promote active engagement - such as reflecting on videos, designing lessons, and discussing ideas with peers. [20]....more ENGINEERING & COMPUTER SCIENCE [21]Cryptography I April 1: Dan Boneh Cryptography is an indispensable tool for protecting information in computer systems. This course explains the inner workings of cryptographic primitives and how to correctly use them. Students will learn how to reason about the security of cryptographic constructions and how to apply this knowledge to real-world applications. [22]...more [23]General Game Playing March 31: Michael Genesereth General game players are computer systems able to play strategy games based solely on formal game descriptions supplied at "runtime". This course is an introduction to General Game Playing (GGP). Students will get an introduction to the theory of General Game Playing and will learn how to create GGP programs capable of competing against other programs and humans. [24]....more [25]Algorithms: Design and Analysis, Part I Starts April 29: Tim Roughgarden In this course you will learn several fundamental principles of algorithm design. You'll learn the divide-and-conquer design paradigm, with applications to fast sorting, searching, and multiplication. Learn the answers to questions such as: How do data structures like heaps, hash tables, bloom filters, and balanced search trees actually work, anyway? [26]....more [27]Algorithms: Design and Analysis, Part II Starts June 30: Tim Roughgarden In this course you will learn several fundamental principles of advanced algorithm design: greedy algorithms and applications; dynamic programming and applications; NP-completeness and what it means for the algorithm designer; the design and analysis of heuristics; and more. [28]....more Machine Learning Coming in June: Andrew Ng Machine learning is the science of getting computers to act without being explicitly programmed. In the past decade, machine learning has given us self-driving cars, practical speech recognition, effective web search, and a vastly improved understanding of the human genome. In this class, you will learn about the most effective machine learning techniques, and gain practice implementing them and getting them to work for yourself. ....more ENVIRONMENT & ENERGY [29]Reservoir Geomechanics April 1: Mark Zoback This interdisciplinary course encompasses the fields of rock mechanics, structural geology, earthquake seismology and petroleum engineering to address a wide range of geomechanical problems that arise during the exploitation of oil and gas reservoirs. The course is intended for geoscientists and engineers in the petroleum and geothermal industries, and for research scientists interested in stress measurements and their application to problems of faulting and fluid flow in the crust.
