Course OverviewThis course serves as an introduction to the literary journalism major. Literary journalism is nonfiction prose that transcends the limits of daily news. While reporting is always challenging, by âliterary journalismâ we mean a kind of writing that goes beyond âwho, what, where and whenâ to give the reader a richer and more detailed picture of life events. It combines an immersive approach to reporting with the techniques of fiction. Although this type of writing has older roots, it became an identifiable genre in the 1960s when Tom Wolfe dubbed it âNew Journalism.â New Journalists such as Wolfe, Joan Didion, John McPhee, and Gay Talese were trailblazers in the field. Today, literary journalism appears in periodicals such as The New Yorker, The Atlantic Monthly, Esquire and Harperâs Magazine, as well as in the magazines or literary supplements of many major newspapers.The Literary Journalism major is designed for students interested in studying and contributing to this distinct branch of nonfiction writing. The class has two objectives: First, it will introduce you to and help you understand great examples of literary journalism. This will be the reading component of the class. Second, the class will serve as an introduction to the basic techniques for reporting and crafting such journalism. In other words, writing literary journalism. Through working to understand the mechanics of a good storyâsomething we will do through constant, careful reading of literary journalism textsâwe will come to appreciate how these worlds have been constructed and how they have been linguistically built.At the end of our ten weeks together, our hope is that you will be a more engaged, passionate, and skilled reader. This is the way we will grow into serious writers. Lucky for us, there is a simple formula for the beginning writer, which we will follow: read (a lot), practice (a lot), and donât give up. And because I trust you, I'm going to give you the secret formula that our most accomplished writers follow: they read (a lot), they practice (a lot), and they havenât given up. In short, reading and writing is the heart of a writerâs world and will be the heart of our class. I also hope that weâre going to have fun along the way. As your teacher, Iâm here to help you grow as a reader and develop as a writer. At times youâll be frustrated. By design youâll have to work hard each week. Consider this, thoughâAmerican writer Steven Pressfield once wrote, âThe most important thing about art is to work. Nothing else matters except sitting down every.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
