It looks at music through historical, cultural and political lenses; the contemporary Korea era with music examples in Korean and English; and Korean modern musical culture with different genres of music.

This course examines basic concepts and methods for estimating various quantities of interest in the analysis of survival data. A distinct feature of the type of data that is covered in this course is that the main response of interest, survival time, is subject to censoring, which leads to an incomplete observation. Topics include survival models, censoring and truncation, functions characterizing survival times, nonparametric estimation of survival function and other functions, comparison of survival functions for different groups, parametric and semiparametric regression models, mathematical and graphical methods for assessing goodness of fit, analysis of multivariate failure time data, competing risks analysis, cohort-sampling designs, and other advanced topics.  

This course provides an overview of the American political system and its electoral processes. It examines institutions and rules that structure electoral processes and discusses recent issues in U.S. elections. Topics include American political system, voting rights, congressional elections, presidency and presidential elections, political parties, campaign finance and interest groups, race and ethnicity in American elections, media and elections, and representation and accountability. 

This course addresses theoretical concepts of environmental issues and provides an introduction to key concepts and solutions in environmental policy and politics at local, national, and global levels. Topics include how to cope with environmental problems; impacts of globalization on the environment; the main actors in planning and implementing environmental policies; what approaches seem most likely to solve environmental issues such as air pollution, natural resource depletion, and climate change; using political institutions, regulations, market mechanisms, or voluntary schemes to form environmental policies; and the roles of environmental movements, firms, and bureaucrats in environmental politics and policies.

This class solves problems by implementing sensors, algorithms, and actions. The process of solving problems (system proposal, design, implementation, evaluation, discussion, issue derivation and correction, implementation of final results) is carried out in stages through the project, and the systematic problem-solving process is learned through communication between team members. 

This course discusses political issues in contemporary Korea. Topics include political polarization, politics of gender, politics of youth, population crisis and Korean politics, Korea as an immigration-accepting country, North Korean in South Korean society, populism, emergence of cast society, center-periphery in Korean politics, and China, Japan, and the United States in South Korean society. 

This course focuses on key texts of the European literary tradition between the 19th century and the present. It explores the philosophical, political, and ethical issues raised in these texts.

The course surveys the region’s history and contemporary developments from an interdisciplinary perspective, including geography, history, culture, religion, economics and politics.

This course discusses how ethical issues of design have impacted on Korean society, which has been rapidly transformed by adoption of foreign culture, Confucianism, Korean war, economic growth, and latest popularity of K-Pop, in comparison with Western society. 

This course provides a study of how to build Python programs using fundamental programming structures like variables, conditional logic, looping, and functions. It looks at how to process data using lists, tuples, and dictionaries in Python programs; and how to read and write files in Python for data analysis. It explores problem-solving procedures, data representations, and algorithms through computers, and teaches practical programming techniques that can express the problem-solving process in Python programming language.
