A course about the changes writ­ten sto­ries go through to cre­ate film trans­la­tions. D550 Fri­days 11:30 – 2:00 This course will allow stu­dents to ex­am­ine the re­la­tion­ship be­tween film and their lit­er­ary sources. Through class­room dis­cus­sions and out-of-class as­sign­ments, stu­dents will an­a­lyze clas­sic and con­tem­po­rary lit­er­ary texts and their cin­e­matic ver­sions. Stu­dents will ex­am­ine the re­la­tion­ship be­tween film and lit­er­a­ture, with spe­cific focus on the tech­niques used in fic­tion, drama and film and the in­flu­ences of cen­sor­ship and so­ci­ety. Stu­dents will focus on the sim­i­lar­i­ties and dif­fer­ences of lit­er­ary works adapted into films.

A course about the changes written stories go through to create film translations. D550 Fridays 11:30 – 2:00 This course will allow students to examine the relationship between film and their literary sources. Through classroom discussions and out-of-class assignments, students will analyze classic and contemporary literary texts and their cinematic versions. Students will examine the relationship between film and literature, with specific focus on the techniques used in fiction, drama and film and the influences of censorship and society. Students will focus on the similarities and differences of literary works adapted into films.

Top­ics for the course in­clude sam­ple spaces and prob­a­bil­i­ties, dis­crete dis­tri­b­u­tions (Bi­no­mial, Neg­a­tive Bi­no­mial, Geo­met­ric, Hy­per­ge­o­met­ric, Pois­son, and Gamma), con­tin­u­ous dis­tri­b­u­tions (Uni­form, Nor­mal, Chi-squared), ex­pec­ta­tion and vari­ance, hy­poth­e­sis test­ing, in­ter­val es­ti­ma­tion and con­fi­dence in­ter­vals. There will be ex­ten­sive use of MS Excel and R, a sta­tis­ti­cal soft­ware pro­gram. At the end of the course, stu­dents should be able make mean­ing­ful con­nec­tions be­tween sta­tis­tics and other areas of study, in­clud­ing and so­cial sci­ences.

Topics for the course include sample spaces and probabilities, discrete distributions (Binomial, Negative Binomial, Geometric, Hypergeometric, Poisson, and Gamma), continuous distributions (Uniform, Normal, Chi-squared), expectation and variance, hypothesis testing, interval estimation and confidence intervals. There will be extensive use of MS Excel and R, a statistical software program. At the end of the course, students should be able make meaningful connections between statistics and other areas of study, including and social sciences.
