This course introduces the fundamental concept of data structures and the importance of data structures in developing and implementing efficient algorithms. The topics include various data structures such as arrays, linked lists, stacks, queues, strings, graphs, trees, and hash tables. Relevant algorithms will be analyzed to assess the strengths and weaknesses of data structures. The lectures and assignments will primarily be done in Python.

Prerequisite: CSI2102 or an equivalent level of fluency in an objected-oriented programming language.

This course aims to explore the current state of artificial intelligence (AI)/machine translation, and related issues and debates. The first few weeks are devoted to examining major theories and concepts in translation studies. In this process, students are expected to think about what it means to translate and how we translate. Students engage in readings and discussions, focusing on what frameworks and methods have been adopted for translation analysis. The second half of the term involves undertaking a large quantity of translations of various texts, including literary and non-literary texts. Most importantly, students run AI/machine translation themselves and explain in what aspects they are similar and different. Students also, if possible, compare their AI/machine translations with human translations, talking about what AI/machine translation can and cannot do. Finally, we discuss the impact of AI/machine translation on translators, writers, and users in the age of AI.

Topics include Traditional Theories, The basic concepts of early translation theory, Equivalence and equivalent effect, Skopos theory, and AI-based translation.

This course examines North Korean cinema, following its historical trajectory. Through the examination we learn about images of North Koreans, their state and culture and also how these images have changed. We also expect that our understanding of North Korea and its people that will be gained through the course can hopefully lead to perspectives on the unification of the two Koreas. Topics include The Liberation and the Formation of North Korean Cinema, Establishment of Juche Ideology, Shin Sang-ok on the Scene of North Korean Cinema, Action/War Genre of North Korean Cinema, Motif of a Hidden Hero, Changing Scenes of the early 1990s, The Arduous March Era, Image of North Korea on International Screen, and North Korea’s International Film Co-productions.

The purpose of this course is to give students the tools/skills to use when working with parents using theoretically-guided and research based knowledge of parent-child relationships. Parenting practices are examined to gain an appreciation for and an understanding of the experiences parents have while child rearing. 

This course also provides an opportunity to examine personal beliefs, values, assumptions, and biases about parenting in order to recognize how these influences might impact work with parents. This course is to understand the historical and theoretical foundations of parenting research and practice; to summarize the cultural and contextual factors influencing parenthood, parent-child relationships, including topics such as parenting children with special needs and parenting in the various context; to evaluate changes in parenting styles and parenting strategies across developmental stages from pregnancy to adulthood, and to integrate research and evidence-based perspectives to demonstrate the importance of parent education. 

Family has been the most important and critical context for individuals throughout their lifetime. Understanding family dynamics and relationships gains more importance as family and family relationships are closely linked to serious social issues, including low fertility rate and family violence. The main purpose of the course is to explore diverse relations observed within the family with the following detailed goals:  

1) To understand important family theories applicable to family relationships;

2) To examine dynamics of relationships within contemporary Korean families;

3) To explore how socio-cultural contexts of Korea have shaped relationships and relationship problems within families;

4) To understand how family relationships can contribute to social problems such as a decrease of fertility rate, educational issues etc. 

This course is to understand diverse family relationships and changes in Korea; to apply appropriate family theories to interpret family relationships, and to predict family relationship changes in future society.

Prerequisites: basic Family Studies courses

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.
