This course covers computer programming for designers. Viewing media in the perspective of physical computing and going beyond the limited functionality of the related applications, students will study the necessary tools and scripting interface to be able to actively use media interaction and control. The course utilizes a scripting language open software program called Processing and its related software like Arduino, iCube and python. Students will complete a project, mid-project workshop, and final project presentation.  Topics include basic geometry, Loop 1, Loop 2, generative drawing, random and noise, generative typography, algorithm drawing, and more.

This course provides instruction and practical experience in conducting and analyzing experiments and in experimental techniques that are commonly applied across various subjects.  

Topics include preparation of microbial media; cultivation of bacteria; water quality; microscopic examination; biochemical characterization; microbiome analyses; genomic DNA extraction & PCR; gel electrophoresis & PCR purification & Sanger sequencing; DNA fingerprinting; Bioinformatic analysis. 

This course acquaints students with major theories, concepts, and research findings related to the study of organizational communication. As a field of study, organizational communication analyzes how, through interaction, we create, sustain, and change organizations. It also examines how we are shaped by our organizational interactions. This course focuses on the way we communicate within organizations and navigate the complexities of organizational life, including socialization, decision-making errors, supervisor-subordinate relationships, conflict, and diversity. While it is more of a theoretical course than a practical skills course, students are expected to apply the theories and concepts to real-life cases and their own experiences related to groups and organizations. Students will be able to demonstrate an understanding of multiple perspectives, theories, concepts, methods, and lenses through which we can explore and explain organizational communication; to identify how we communicate with one another within organizations and critically assess the role of communication in organizations; to gain a better understanding of communication pitfalls, decision-making biases, and problem-solving blind spots that may negatively affect our performance in organizations to communicate, innovate in teams, and make high-quality and ethical decisions; and to apply course material to a variety of situations, including organizational experiences, current events, and common issues. 

This course is designed for beginner-level foreign exchange students and undergraduate students to acquire Korean reading skills. In this course, based on learning beginner-level vocabulary and grammar, students will read and understand various genres of texts that cover everyday topics and familiar social topics. 

This course covers historical and thematic aspects of popular culture studies by raising some essential questions via a deep dive into a significant popular culture sphere: popular film.  

This is a “one-film-course" centering uponThe Greatest Showman, 2017, through which ten important themes of popular culture studies are critically examined: Being popular (History); Showman (Producer); Freak (Genre;) Fake (Authenticity); Dream (Consumption); Material (Infrastructure); Conflict (Humans); Class (Relations); Diversity (Community); and Happiness (Future). 

This course helps students to understand theories of comparative religion, placing religious expression and the formation of religious community and social choices in dialog with myth, ritual, politics, and science. The course examines concepts of God, purity, and the structuring of religious worlds.

This course introduces the basic energetic principles governing metabolism and concepts of bioenegetics including discussions on enzymes and regulatory mechanisms in catabolic and anabolic pathways.   

As the second part of Biochemistry 1, Biochemistry 2 covers chemical reactions in biology on the basis of the molecular system. The course examines metabolism of lipids, amino acids, and carbohydrates; the anabolism of lipids, amino acids, and carbohydrates. Topics include gene expression, regulation of prokaryotes and ehkaryotes, protein targeting, protein synthesis, RNA processing, and DNA rearrangement. 

Thie course builds upon Physics 1, continuing to introduce basic concepts in Physics to students majoring in natural science or engineering. The course begins with topics in electromagnetics such as Coulomb's Law, electric fields and potentials. Later topics include circuits, magnetic fields, electromagnetic waves. Finally, optics, relativity and basic concepts of modern physics will be introduced.

This course explores the multidimensional definitions and meanings of globalization by examining various interconnections, from traditional cultures to modern ones, cultural diversity to homogenization of culture, from migration and immigration to ethnic diversity, and from population growths to urbanization and climate change. 

Students will examine how globalization impacts the culture, family, aging, international migration, popular culture, population, urbanization, environment, and economic development in societies all around the world, paying special attention to how these issues affect Korean culture and society, and will explore possible solutions to these issues. 

This course builds an advanced understanding of major topics in the field of microbiology, exploring topics such as Microbial Cells, Energy Metabolism of Bacterial Cells, Virulence Determinants of Bacterial Pathogens, Metabolism and Virulence Linked Together, Recent Trends in Microbiome Research, Antibiotics, Bacterial Genetics / Synthetic Biology, Helicobacter pylori infection, and Pathogenesis of Helicobacter pylori.
