Geophysics is one of main subjects in earth science using more contaminative and numerical approaches to estimate physical properties of the Earth. This course is designated to understand fundamental concepts in various subdisciplines of geophysics, including gravity, seismology, geomagnetism, geochronology, and geodynamics. With explanations for each field, relationships between the different geophysical approaches will be explored from examples of theoretical and real applications.

This course has no specific prerequisites, but a range of background knowledge and skills in calculus is expected.

This course covers most of the issues related to important concepts, theory, and practices of modern management. A key focus is on the modern management function, including issues of 1) delivering strategic value (for planning); 2) building a dynamic organization (for organizing); 3) mobilizing people (for leading), and 4) learning and changing (for controlling) in turbulent and competitive markets. Along the way, the course looks at the importance of managing people, resources, and organizational and leadership agility. The course also emphasizes themes of good management processes and practices, such as collaboration, leadership, strategic value, and adaptive action. 

This course is designed to lead students to understand Science and Technology Policy from the public value perspective. This course targets public administration students to explore concepts, theories and practices of science and technology policy into public administration and policy areas. The course provides an integrated and stimulating combination of reading, case analysis, discussion, and projects to introduce the production and communication of science and technology policy.

This course serves as an undergraduate-level seminar on international marketing (IM) for Korean firms.  The primary objective of the course is to provide a framework for managing marketing operations across borders.  Emphases is given to the analysis of international markets, their respective consumers and environments, and various marketing management issues required to meet the demands of true global markets. 

This course focuses on: (1) international marketing challenges from the perspective of Korean firms; (2) developing marketing strategy based on analysis of customers and markets in foreign countries, and (3) various marketing examples in the context of Asian markets as well as emerging markets, such as India, Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, and Thailand.

This course provides an overview of the history of Japanese literature from ancient (上代) to pre-modern times. The goal of this class is to understand traditional Japanese literature deeply by examining certain representative works from each period, genre by genre. Students will learn about the background and analyze the content of each work, i.e. Heian Court literature, medieval military literature, pre-modern Chonin (町人) literature, to gain a broad understanding of traditional Japanese society. 

This course is designed to help foster an understanding of the psychology of new media. New media are forms of media that are native to computers; they are computational and rely on computers (including smart devices) for distribution, such as social media, websites, mobile apps, virtual worlds, mobile games, human-computer interface, etc. This course seeks to illustrate the relevance of psychology theory and research in understanding cognitive, emotional, and social processes that people have in new media (e.g., motivation, self-presentation in SNSs, social interactions in virtual worlds). 

Students should have basic knowledge of key theories, concepts, and research methods to succeed in this course. By the end of the semester, students will demonstrate an understanding of the psychological mechanism underlying the processes of new media consumption and how new media impacts us.

This course introduces students to practical and experimental aspects of user interface design and programming, with the intention of demystifying the digital products we use in everyday life. Students will learn the fundamental principles of user interface design; use UI Design software such as Figma to make interactive prototypes, and write basic HTML/CSS/Javascript to create web interfaces. In addition to creating conventional user interface designs, students will be challenged to create interfaces that have conceptual and non-traditional outcomes that speak to their personal interests and motivations. In response to a partial history of User Interface design, students will be compelled to situate their work in the context of the development of Human Computer Interaction for art and design. This context will be given via in-class lectures, hands-on exercises, guest lectures, and a workshop.  

This course teaches game rules and playing methods required in a game of golf, including swing characteristics, effective golf swings and techniques, and various types of training methods.  Participants will train with address, backswing, backswing top, downswing, impact, follow-through, finishing movements, and swing practice for each club (driver, iron, putter). 

This course establishes the foundation of a wide range of statistical learning methods. It aims to understand and utilize the fundamentals of various statistical learning models. 

The course covers:

• statistical learning;
• classical linear methods for regression and classification; 
• cross-validation;
• bootstrap; 
• modern linear methods;
• nonlinear methods; 
• tree-based methods;
• support vector machines;
• unsupervised learning;
• neural networks, and
• deep learning. 

These topics are the basics of statistical learning, but the core of machine learning. By the end of this course, students will have easier access to and understanding of deep learning and artificial intelligence.

The course requires the following prerequisites: 

• Python Basic – this course assumes a basic knowledge of Python
• STAT 241: Matrix Theory or Linear Algebra - provides a computational foundation for understanding statistical models.
• STAT 232: Mathematical Statistics- knowledge of probability theory and asymptotic evaluations. 

This course provides an overview of the field of marine drug discovery and development and is designed to meet the needs of oceanographers, biologists and chemists interested in this topic. This course focuses on the entire process of drug discovery and development which necessitates the expertise of many disciplines such as marine natural product chemistry, biology, organic and medicinal chemistry, pharmacology, pharmacokinetics, toxicology, and basic and clinical medicine. In addition, basic skills in the discovery of marine drug hits will be practiced in the lab.
