Special Topics   

Join presenter Lynne Dean, a forensic scientist and retired latent fingerprint examiner with the King County Sheriff's Office in Seattle, Wash., as she explores how crime scenes are processed for evidence. You will learn how a forensic fingerprint laboratory works, discuss photographs from real crime scenes and determine what you see as evidence. You'll also participate in hands-on exercises at home to give you a true "feel" for working with evidence and discover how to distinguish fact from fiction when it comes to your favorite CSI-style TV shows. Student participation is encouraged! This class is for students 18 and older, as some of the content and photos are considered graphic. In addition, participants will need a roll of clear tape (like Scotch tape) and their choice of one of the following: a clear plastic water bottle, ceramic mug (like a coffee cup), or clear sheet protector. Those items will be part of the hands-on exercises they will do during the Zoom presentation.
 

A great script begins with personality! In this introductory screenwriting course, write the script that only you can write and learn how to share it with the world. Students will explore how to create memorable characters, build worlds for them, tell their stories in a format designed for the screen, and share their work in “table reads.” Writers will receive helpful feedback while learning the classic Hollywood formulas and requirements for screenwriting.
