This course introduces the representative studies and core theories in the fields of behavioral economics and decision psychology. The lectures include topics such as prospect theory, heuristics and biases, self-control, and social decision making. This course teaches one how to analyze and solve various problems of choice in daily life, based on the psychological and economic theories of decision making.

Designed for advanced level undergraduate Psychology students, participants must have taken the introductory psychology courses (both I and II) or similar courses; students who do not meet this prerequisite must seek permission from the instructor on the first day of the course. To succeed in this course, it is highly recommended that participants are familiar with basic terms in elementary statistics.

This course covers fundamental principles of biological systems at the molecular level, exploring key biomolecules and their functions. It also delves into the history of molecular biology, highlighting pioneers and landmark discoveries. This course also aims to offer insights into molecular systems, including DNA, RNA, and proteins, and to explore recent trends and experimental techniques in the field.

This course provides a comprehensive exploitation of analyzing and utilizing accounting information. It equips students with literacy in accounting information, fostering the development of strategic business decision-making skills and practices.  

The course delves into the role of accounting information in business for students to gain a fundamental understanding of decision models and tools and engage in the study of various strategic decision-making cases. Classes will be conducted through a combination of lectures, discussions, and practical case analyses, facilitating students’ in-depth understanding. By the end of this course, students are expected to have established a robust foundation in accounting principles and their practical applications in decision-making and control.  

Prerequisite: Principles of Accounting (any basic accounting course)  

This course introduces the study of human development through the life-course. It considers biological, psychological, and social domains of concern, viewing development as a product of genetic maturational, self-directed, and social factors. A psychosocial perspective provides the orienting framework for the course, emphasizing the continuous interaction of person and social environment. The framework helps students identify essential tasks, concerns, and sources of vulnerability and resilience in development and functioning through the life course.  

The course encompasses a range of perspectives, drawing on recent lines of inquiry in neuroscience and neuropsychology; psychodynamic, behavioral, cognitive, and social learning theories; ecological models; stress and coping studies; and concepts of culture, race, and ethnicity related to growth and behavior. Lecture and discussion seek to bridge theoretical perspectives, social policy considerations, and direct practice issues with particular attention to diverse and vulnerable populations. 

This class teaches basic principles, guidelines, tools, and practices of human computer interaction. It covers a broad range of issues starting with human cognitive and perceptual capabilities, 2D interfaces, 3D and multimodal interfaces, interfaces for web and mobile devices, and usability and evaluation methods. The course will emphasize practical applications and thus require students to carry out many UI design and evaluation projects. The lectures will aim to use as many case studies as possible.

Recommended prerequisite: C/C++ Programming 

This course aims to provide students with a basic understanding of the interdisciplinary field of law and economics, as well as the ability to analyze social phenomena from a combined perspective of law and economics.  The first half of the course focuses on introducing fundamental theories in law and economics, while the second half involves a critical analysis of real-world legal cases in competition law from a law and economics standpoint. 

The first part of the course addresses the economic rationale underlying the creation and implementation of legal rules, enabling them to develop their critical thinking skills in designing efficient laws. Specifically, the study covers the economic reasoning behind areas of law such as property, tort, and contract, enhancing students' capacity to select the most efficient legal rules. 

The second part of the course examines real-world legal cases in the field of competition law, in various jurisdictions such as the US and the EU. Through these case studies, the class will observe the dynamic interaction between law and economics. Additionally, through comparative analysis, the class will gain insights into how to design laws that are best suited for specific societies by taking relevant circumstances into account.

Microorganisms exist everywhere in human society and the natural environment. They have beneficial functions, such as antibiotic production, and harmful functions such as pandemic diseases. This course aims to understand the characteristics of microorganisms and examine the functions they perform on Earth from the perspectives of diversity, ecology, molecular genetics, and biotechnology.  The course also exposes students to microbiological research methods needed in biomedical science.

The purpose of this course is to explore various areas within healthcare/medical settings and understand the applicability of IE/OR/AI tools. Applications of Markov process, simulation modeling, and data analytics methods are discussed through case studies and papers in different care settings and areas. Topics include hospital resource optimization, decision support for public health sector, AI for personalized medicine, etc.
