Spring is a time of new life, as we watch the world around us change from dormant to full of life. This course is an introduction to film movements and styles. We will watch several classic films all of which have a theme of change. We will begin by discussing film genres, film history, and how films are made. We will also explore what to look for as you watch the films selected for the course. Films are watched on your own outside of the classroom (at least one film will be assigned per week beginning week 2) and are available on Plex with a free account, through Turner Classic Movies, or with a Max subscription. Some titles may also be available through your local public library. During each class session, we will unpack the film in terms of its style, story, filmmaking technique, and how it fits with the theme of change. During this course, we will discover great films that help us see and think about change in our world.

This program provides an
interdisciplinary approach to understanding
and preventing falls, with a focus on the role
of occupational therapy in promoting safety
and independence. Guided by Dr. Kandy Salter,
UAMS Clinical Assistant Professor, participants
will examine the multifactorial causes of falls -- including physical, environmental, and cognitive
factors -- and explore intervention strategies and
evidence-based practices that aid in fall prevention. Through case studies, simulations, and collaborative learning, students will gain practical
skills in risk identification, home safety modification, and client-centered care planning. This
program is ideal for individuals who seek to enhance their knowledge and skills in fall prevention and functional mobility.
