This course has three components. The first discusses key conceptual tools and theories needed to examine reconciliation and justice in international politics. The second looks at the situations on the ground and asks What are the main cases and issues? What are the general trends in international relations with regards to addressing and redressing justice and reconciliation? What kind of national and global efforts have been made in attempts to help solve them? The third part of the course includes drawing lessons and insights from specific cases in Asia, Europe and Africa. Why do some states promote particular historical narratives and policies? What are the domestic and international consequences of their particular policy choices? Can a country’s success story be emulated by another country?

Through an integrated curriculum of vocabulary, grammar, speaking, listening, writing, and reading, this course enables students to: 

1) To communicate in Korean at a high-advanced level at formal  discourse circumstance; 

2) To debate on current political, social, economic and cultural issues; and,

3) To understand Korean culture through movies, dramas, literary works. 

You can learn various theories related to golf. Learn the theories of history, competition, rules, manners, etiquette, etc. systematically. Also, you can learn good swing through practical training by following personal quarantine rules in the outdoor playground. Unlike other golf classes, we can actually practice golf swings outdoors. Topics include Basic set of golf address, Grip and back swing, back swing and downswing, Down Swing with weight shifting, Powerful impact with finish, Approach and chip shot(Around the green in the practice), Driver full swing, Long iron practice, and Putting Basic. 

The first part of this course is designed to help students to understand the modern theories of financial markets and banking. The second part of this class investigates how the central bank affect the real economy and how the monetary policy must be conducted. Finally, we study the recent global financial crisis.

This course investigates how and the extent to which economic actions and outcomes are socially shaped, if not determined. It first covers a series of theoretical materials that argue for the so-called structural or relational “embeddedness” perspective and then moves on to discuss a wide variety of empirical examples, especially those related to network analysis. The course pays close attention to some of the key underlying assumptions regarding individual decision-making processes. More specifically, the focus is on the ways in which social networks (broadly defined) surrounding human actors affect the ways in which they think and behave and how this process ultimately creates and reinforces economic inequality.

In the post-industrial and information age, societal problems are increasingly complex and require systems thinking and design approaches that can deal with their complexity. This course introduces a systems design approach to complex social-ecological-technical problems. The scope of the course encompasses the theories, methodologies, and case studies related to systems thinking and design. This class is designated as a Social Innovation Certificate (SIC) course. The course contents and practices are related to social innovation and solving social problems. The Institute of Higher Education Innovation (IHEI) may collect student assignments and course contents for further purposes. For more details regarding the SIC, please visit the IHEI’s website,http://ihei.yonsei.ac.kr.

This course covers first- and second-order ordinary differential equations and their applications and modeling. Topics include direction fields, separable and non-homogeneous ODEs, integrating factors, Bernoulli equations, and Euler-Cauchy equations. Additional topics include power series method, Legendre Polynomials, Frobenius method, and Bessel functions. The course also provides a brief overview of linear algebra topics to assist with matrix eigenvalue problems and basics of linear systems. Other topics include Laplace transforms with related topics, such as inverse, s-shifting, derivatives, integrals, Heaviside function, t-shifting, convolution, integral equations, and solving system of ODEs.

This advanced journalism course reinforces theoretical knowledge and provides practical application of print news writing and broadcast news production based on the western journalism in English. The first part of the semester focuses on learning theories, while the second half of the semester, students work on news writing and broadcast news.
