The overall objectives of this class are 1) to provide training for improving muscle control, strength and flexibility; 2) to help correct formation of body posture.

This course explores the history and styles of interior architecture and design, covering the period from Antiquity through contemporary design. The primary goal of the course is to explore the historical flow of architecture and interior design, and understand design philosophies as well as relationship of interior design to architecture and the broader social context, including economic and social influences, throughout history. Major historical periods and interior architectural contents are taught.

This course introduces the fundamental statistical concepts and techniques to make informed decision for a variety of real-world business and economic problems. The course objective includes collection, visualization, summarization, and analysis of statistical data to draw statistical inferences. It discusses numerical summaries of qualitative and quantitative variables, random sampling theory, central limit theorem, the normal distribution, one/two sample hypothesis testing, confidence intervals and goodness-of-fit method. Applications of Software such as MINITAB and R are also demonstrated.

This course is to learn Korean language through various projects and games. Data compiled from the weekly quests will be analyzed to create algorithms using generative AI to train our NPCs for our Survival Korean MMORPG game. This is also part of the "Generative AI in Education APRU Project" supported by Microsoft. It focuses on “real life challenges” and acculturation while empowering language learners at the most elementary level using gaming and digital technologies/platforms like CHATGPT and COPILOT to generate interest.

This course is intended to provide an introduction to basic concepts in virology and viral life cycles and to cover topics of various host responses induced by virus infection. Lectures will be focused on in-depth molecular mechanisms for propagation of pathogenic human and animal viruses and how viral infection can be controlled.

Prerequisite: Microbiology, Biochemistry, Molecular and Cellular Biology, Immunology (optional)

Political parties and elections are key elements of political representation that profoundly shape whose voices get heard and ultimately translated into public policy. This course explores democratic representation through political parties around the world and the effects of electoral systems on party system development. It critically examines the role of political parties in the representation of societal interests, party system evolution, the consequences of electoral law, and challenges facing modern political parties today. Students develop both contextual knowledge of political party and electoral systems around the world as well as theoretical knowledge on the evolution, functioning, and purpose of party representation. 

This course provides an introduction to probability and statistics with a view toward applications. It includes topics on mathematical models for random phenomena, random variables, expectation, and discrete & continuous distributions. This course also covers laws of large numbers, central limit theorem, and basic techniques of inferential statistics. Students are expected to be familiar with statistical thinking and the basic concepts of descriptive statistics, probability distribution, and inferential statistics through this course.
