This culminates in a Simulation experience where students do one of two possible tasks: 1) teach a high school class or 2) be a multi-headed provider taking a trauma-informed, inclusive sexual health history.IMA 289 - Musical EndingsRadio ended in August 1981 when MTV debuted with the music video for “Video Killed the Radio Star.” From that point, radio was dead and a new era of the Music Video began. This is one of many musical endings in our world; others include the ending credits of a movie, music at a funeral, and music about the end of the world. This course will explore various ‘endings’ when it comes to music, focusing primarily on the 20th and 21st century, including popular and classical styles. We’ll focus on the question: what do endings mean, other than just something being over?
