Description

It is every supervisor's goal to complete their project on time and within the estimated budget. This Productivity and Cost Management course is intended to teach the skills necessary for effective control of construction costs at the job site. We will study construction cost and apply principles and practices associated with cost awareness and production control to each element of the project. Cost control begins with the estimate and then continues through work and cost analysis, production scheduling, reporting, production control and ends with project evaluation. The information will be studied by solving common construction problems, the consideration of case studies and discussion of common cost control issues. Learning objectives By the end of this class students will: - Understand the estimating and quantity take-off process and how they are associated with construction cost control. - Be familiar with the content of a typical construction estimate. - Be able to evaluate subcontractors and participate in the subcontractor selection process. - Know who has responsibilities for cost control and understand the risks associated with construction contracting. - Learn how to increase productivity by using labor and equipment efficiently. - Understand the general relationship among project estimating, productivity planning, measurement, project planning, scheduling and project control. - Gain additional insight into the process of planning labor crews and preparing for labor costs. - Know how to identify labor cost problems and solve the problems using project cost data. - Learn several techniques for managing subcontractors at the job site. - Learn strategies for using cost control data to influence the work and minimize negative cost impacts. - Understand how to the evaluate project after completion and determine strategies for future projects. - Know how to participate in a project debriefing and understand the value associated with debriefing.

This introductory course gives working and aspiring instructional designers a grounding in the basics of multimedia scriptwriting. In the course, we'll trace the process of developing a compelling audio/visual script for a brief instructional multimedia piece of your choosing. A worksheet developed specifically for the course will guide you from start to finish, from identifying your target audience to creating a script with all the information needed to produce your piece. (Note: You will not be asked to create the multimedia piece, just the script for it.) Along the way, we'll explore many facets of professional scriptwriting practice, including: the essential steps of the scriptwriting process, the structure and instructional possibilities of three major forms of presentation (demonstration, documentary, and dramatization), and various production styles at your disposal. Weekly homework submissions based on the course¿s worksheet will be discussed openly and supportively at the start of each class session. Course objectives: -- To improve your ability to develop effective scripts for instructional multimedia components of various types -- To improve your ability to evaluate the skills of instructional scriptwriters.

Description

An organization that prioritizes and promotes equity among all staff can improve employee motivation, relations, and retention. One way toward equity is through the practice of cultural humility, a perspective that values lifelong engagement, self-analysis, and active listening with the motivation to learn.

In addition to identity, diversity, and inclusion, students will study EEO laws and other related workplace requirements. Learning objectives: - Discussing benefits of a multicultural workplace that values equity. - Increasing communication skills and developing strategies to increase equity. - Identifying varying layers that compose public identity. - Reviewing EEO hiring practices and laws related to issues of identity.

This course introduces the fundamental concepts of Time Management (Scheduling), gleaned from the Program Management Book of Knowledge (PMBOK), Agile project management, and common practices in the industry. Many project/program managers attempt to self-educate on scheduling and, for years, remain beginners - unable to implement the inputs and outputs of a schedule, resulting in poor predictability. This tool-agnostic course is geared toward hands-on project managers, PMO leads, and middle management, who crave early warnings and predictable outcomes of a project.
