This course examines modern theories and empirical research findings on the structure and development of personality across a lifespan, using a combined perspective of developmental and personality psychology. This course provides an overview of the structure of human personality and its developmental milestones from early childhood to adulthood. It examines the big five factors of personality and various influences (e.g., genetics, temperament, parenting) that shape the development of personality over time. It also discusses correlates of different personality characteristics across multiple domains of development (e.g., self-esteem, achievement, morality).

This course covers the basic concepts and usages of data structures and algorithms used in electrical and/or computer engineering. The objectives are learning data structure types and usages - arrays, lists, queues, trees, graphs, etc.; learning algorithms - sorting, hashing, searching, etc.; improving C++ programming and debugging skills; and learn data structures and algorithms in C++. Students may choose any working environments, but class materials assume Linux by default. No prior experiences in Linux are necessary to enroll. 

This course aims to provide an in-depth exploration and analysis of various significant literary works devoted to such utopian agendas, with special focus on the ways in which the works intersect with the socio-economic, political, religious, and scientific thoughts of the times. By reading a variety of utopian writings (from ancient to modern), this course seeks to help students better to understand and reassess utopianism as an essential topic of literary studies.

This is a reading and discussion-intensive course that examines the development of modern Korea in the context of modernity, imperialism, and capitalism. Using a combination of lecture and class discussion, the course examines the facts and arguments surrounding the transitions from Chosŏn Korea to colonial Korea to the postwar divisions of North and South Korea. Special attention is paid to the dominant arguments surrounding key moments in modern Korean history.

This course develops the ability to understand various physical properties of electronic materials (e.g., semiconductors). Topics include elementary materials science concepts, kinetic molecular theory, thermal process, defects, classical theory of conduction, hall effect and thermal conduction, quantum physics, Schrodinger equation, microscopic physics, modern theory of solid, electronic statistics, waves as a particle, semiconductor fundamentals, conductivity, diffusion and optical properties, and devices.

This course examines defense systems in animals, higher plants, and microorganisms. Topics include Introduction to animal immune system; disruption of healthy tissue by the immune response: cancer and its interactions with human defense system; failures of the body`s defenses: autoimmune diseases, infectious diseases, evasion and subversion of the immune system by pathogens, introduction to microbes and microbial interactions; microbe-human/animal interactions: pathogens, microbiome, probiotics, metagenome. 

This course is designed as an intermediate-level exploration of Microeconomics. A foundational understanding of Microeconomics concepts is expected, as we will extensively use mathematical analysis to delve into the decision-making processes of economic agents in various contexts. Key areas of study include Consumption Theory, Production Theory, Partial Equilibrium, Competitive Markets, and Monopoly Markets, with a focus on theoretical derivations. Elementary calculus, particularly differentiation, will be employed as necessary throughout the course.  

By the end of this course, students will: 

1) Gain a comprehensive understanding of key Microeconomics topics: Consumption Theory, Production Theory, Competitive Markets, and Monopoly. 

2) Grasp the microeconomic paradigm and appreciate the value of microeconomic analysis. 

3) Enhance their ability to apply economic analysis to a range of issues. 

4) Develop formal modeling skills, enabling them to translate real-world problems into mathematically manageable models.
