Educational big data analysis consolidates information to provide teachers and administrators with the big picture of trends and patterns that can be used to evaluate and streamline processes, create efficiencies, and improve the overall students’ experience. In this course, students learn:

a) learning theories and instructional design models for developing educational program;

b) the characteristics of educational data;

c) the basic programming language to operate big data analysis; 

d) some machine learning algorithms that allow computers to learn data and to predict unknown results; and,

e) the skills to embed the machine learning model into the real online educational program.

Processes of globalization, migration, marketization, and socioeconomic change have transformed the landscape of children’s educational and occupational trajectories across the world. This course explores how such broader macro-level changes have influenced micro-level experiences, interactions, and individual beliefs influencing learning and schooling. This course covers various topics from the home environment to structural and cultural factors shaping learning experiences through lectures and a discussion of readings. Students also have the unique opportunity throughout this course to pursue a project of their own interest relevant to the topics covered in the course. This course aims to familiarize students with key contextual factors shaping education and develop students’ ability to think in a cross-cultural and international perspective by introducing case studies across the world. This course aims to provide theoretical background to structural and cultural factors shaping learning experiences. This course aims to expose students to research by providing them with an opportunity to formulate their own projects. 

The major objective of this course is to teach you how to solve problems using algorithmic thinking with the concept of the "object-oriented" programming. We express our algorithms in English, then translate them into the programming language. We cover Python, C++ in this class. During the course, you learn how to use loops, conditionals, functions, arrays, and most importantly "classes." These are the building blocks of programs, which we use to create increasingly complex programs. This course is to understand the fundamentals of object-oriented programming; to understand how to use basic data structures and classes to create complex programs; and to develop problems solving skills by learning algorithmic thinking.

Prerequisite: CSI2100- Computer Programming

This course explores the basic principles of human behavior and how these principles can be applied to product development or design. It also considers how human principles can be combined and applied with engineering principles. At the same time, the content of learning is directly applied by building an efficient, convenient, and safe cognitive system. The goal is to improve psychological scientific analysis ability;  convergence technology capabilities, and the ability to utilize information technology media tools.

The course introduces game theory and its applications in political science to students. Topics include How to Think about Strategic Games, Games with Sequential Moves, Simultaneous-Move Games, Combining Sequential and Simultaneous Moves, Strategic Moves, Uncertainty and Information, The Prisoners' Dilemma and Repeated Games, Collective-Action Games, and Applications to Specific Strategic Situations.

This course covers key Concepts of Hermeneutics: Dialogue, Fusion of Horizons, Crossover, 2nd Person, and Naturalism and Deconstructionism. This course is a survey of the ideas of Husserl, Heidegger, and Gadamer, which make up most of what is known as hermeneutics, or the philosophy of interpretation. 

This course is an undergraduate-level seminar on politics of contemporary China. Understanding politics, economy, society, and their complex relations of our neighbor, People’s Republic of China becomes indispensable for everyone no matter what you study and pursue in this globalized era. In this vein, surveying politics of China would be a priority. We try to systematically (not randomly) analyze and understand those objects through applying some theoretical frameworks of political science such as regime type, political institution, participation, contentious politics, clientelism, developmentalism, nationalism, and interactions between domestic and international politics, to them. More specifically, this course aims at (1) understanding basic political history of contemporary China; (2) theoretically and empirically exposing students to major issues and debates in the study of reform-era Chinese politics and helping students understand major characteristics of the Chinese Communist Party regime; (3) In addition to the conventional contents of “Chinese Politics” course, letting students do a “problem-solving” project from creative and multi-disciplinary perspectives of political interactions as well as politics of things; (4) and finally, encouraging students to pursue their own agendas related to contemporary China in further studies in schools and job market (and beyond).

This course is designed to delve into the world of early childhood curriculum, exploring its definition, philosophical and theoretical foundations, and practical implementation. Throughout the semester, students develop knowledge and skills in planning and interpreting curriculum, observing classroom practices, and understanding teacher roles. In addition, students gain deeper understanding of various early childhood curriculum models as well as current trends in the field. The goal is to understand the concept of early childhood curriculum and its core components; to understand how philosophical and theoretical backgrounds are associated with early childhood curriculum; to develop skills in planning, developing, and implementing early childhood curriculum; and to analyze current trends and the future of early childhood curriculum.

Prerequisites: majoring in Child and Family Studies

This course is a course to study the theory and practice of computer graphics. In theory, we study graphics algorithms and mathematical fundamentals, and also learn programming to apply them in practice. Key topics include math for graphics, Transformation, Viewing, Texture mapping, Lighting, Using models, Advanced buffer techniques, Advanced rendering and animation techniques, etc. The programming language used is C++, and the class is conducted using the OpenGL API.

Prerequisites: C/C++ language programming, object-oriented programming, data structures, and differential calculus.
