This course is designed to provide a comprehensive introduction to the modern study of computer algorithms. It presents many algorithms and covers them in considerable depth. Each chapter presents an algorithm, a design technique, an application area or a related topic. Since we emphasize efficiency as a design criterion, we include careful analyses of the running time of all our algorithms. In addition to the introduction of “design of algorithms”, we also play the emphasis on the “complexity analysis of algorithms” to help students understand the detailed differences between various algorithms for a certain problem mainly in terms of time. The carefully chosen English material is intended to provide the students an enjoyable taste for the international class on algorithms. The textbook we chose is also used by many other universities for undergraduate algorithm course. The course targets the enhancement of the following skills: 1)understanding and mastering the fundamental algorithm design by a series representative algorithms such as: graph algorithms, sorting algorithms etc.; 2) training the capability of algorithms analysis as well the proof of the correctness of algorithms in terms of time complexity and asymptotic efficiency, improving the logic reasoning and understanding the development of algorithm theory; 3) encouraging students to have a depth understanding of studied algorithm by applying them to practical applications as well as problems, training them to relate what they have learned in the class to the real-world problems.4) improving the capability of solving real-world problems.

What is the Chinese poetry? Why is it called “shige (literally, song-word)”? How does it imagine a lyrical way to express the individual feelings or the collective narrations about the body, life, nature and the universe of the Chinese people? Through a cross-cultural perspective, this course is intended to help foreign students understand, appreciate and experience the beauty of classical Chinese poetry, especially its unique tradition of musicality. This is a taught course over 16 weeks through the spring term. Class time will consist of lectures, poetry readings, seminars, discussions, with a workshop and a poetry recital where appropriate. Students are asked to join all the activities.

The course will lead you to explore Shijing (The Book of Songs) & The Lyrics of Chuci (The Lyrics of Chu) in pre-Qin peroid, Yuefu (Music Bureau Poems) in the Han Dynasty, “Nineteen Old Poems”, Shi Poetry in the Tang Dynasty, Ci Poetry in the Song Dynasty, and Qu Poetry in the Yuan Dynasty.

The course creatively combines poetic criticism with poetry performance by integrating the theoretical methods of Chinese poetics, musicology and vocal performance. The course aims to help students enjoyably and engagingly overcome language and cultural barriers, to experience the charm and the profundity of the Chinese language and culture by reciting and chanting the classical Chinese poems.

Teaching objectives of this course:

To guide students to appreciate Chinese bronzes, and understand the thoughts, technology, aesthetic intention, cultural beliefs contained in the bronzes, and understand the cultural status of Chinese bronzes in the material history of the world.

Expected learning gains of this course:

(1) By training students' observation and cognitive ability of bronze ware, students can basically understand the emergence, use and development of bronze ware and their historical and cultural background, and master the knowledge system of bronze ware.

(2) Students have a general understanding of the type characteristics, technical connotation and artistic characteristics of Chinese bronzes, have some thoughts about the culture carried by ancient Chinese bronzes, some experience and inheritance of traditional culture, and some understanding of the expression of beauty.
(3) Taking ancientbronze ware as an example, students are guided to deepen their understanding of the status of Chinese material culture and civilization in the history of world civilization.

International trade as a field of economics has changed a lot in the past two decades. Previously, we employ some toy models to understand the principles of international trade. These principles are insightful, but they cannot provide us tools to understand the issues in practice. The recent decades development in international trade has shifted the focus from the earlier intensely discussed principles to more practical, sophisticate observations in international trade. We employ recently available data at firm level or transaction level to understand trade intermediary, finance, R&D, resource allocation, firm dynamics, offshoring, etc. These recent developments in international research is important for us to fully understand how a world with open economies works and how some most important movements of factors, goods and services affect our welfare. The objective of this course is to guide undergraduate students from understanding some basic international economics principles to try to investigate and understand how exactly international trade in practice is conducted and shape the world.

Through the study of this course, students can improve their ability to deal with emergencies when they face accidents during travel, master and understand the coping strategies and skills of common medical problems, and learn how to prevent various accidents. The knowledge fields involved in this course include epidemiology, preventive medicine, emergency medicine, infectious diseases, internal medicine, tropical medicine, gastroenterology, dermatology and other disciplines.

Advocate the learning-centered teaching concept and carry out the curriculum objective design in six dimensions: Design a variety of learning activities and evaluation methods, adopt clinical medicine vivid case teaching, arouse students' learning enthusiasm, make students have and maintain curiosity about medical problems and actively participate in scientific thinking, organize students to actively participate in discussions in class, clearly put forward personal opinions and attach importance to others' opinions; Clinical cases were simulated to test the effective cooperation of students in the team learning atmosphere, showing their teamwork ability when completing difficult tasks; Paying attention to medical common sense and hot issues will lay a foundation of medical common sense for students' future life journey. At the same time, when they encounter various medical problems in real life and study, they can calmly cope with them, take early protective measures, seek medical treatment scientifically, maintain good communication with medical professionals rationally, and actively cooperate with medical diagnosis and treatment. To minimize the body damage caused by diseases and promote recovery. Cultivate the idea that students are the first responsible person for health, and take positive and effective actions to prevent diseases and do a good job in personal health management.

Students will be trained through theoretical lectures and videos, emergency ability and handling ability.

From the Internet to the WWW, from wireless communication networks, large power networks to global transportation networks, from the brain in organisms, various metabolic networks to various economic, political, and social relationship networks, people's socioeconomic activities and daily life all take place in a world full of complex networks. Complex network theory studies the commonalities between various complex networks that appear to be different from each other and the universal methods for dealing with them. Since the end of the 20th century, complex network research has permeated many different fields from mathematics and physics to life sciences and information engineering. The scientific understanding of the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of complex networks has become an extremely important challenge in scientific research in the network era. This course will be taught in English, and strives to introduce the basic concepts, basic theories, basic algorithms and practical applications of network science represented by complex network theory in a way that science and engineering undergraduates can understand, including some of the lecturer's own research. The main purpose is to enable students to understand the basic system of complex network systems through the study of this course, master the basic concepts of complex network theory, and cultivate students' interest in network science.
