This module will focus on the theoretical foundations of digital modelling and performance simulation. It will enable students to develop a critical understanding of relevant digital tools and techniques, and the role that they can play in the design process. The theoretical understanding will be enhanced by hands-on experimentation with a subset of tools and techniques.
\r\n
\r\nObjectives: students will first gain knowledge in the digital representation of design, via three-dimensional modelling tools and techniques. Students will then learn how to explore design performance by complementing 3D design tools with various simulation programs in an iterative way. .
\r\n
\r\nStudents will gain both theoretical and practical knowledge of digital modelling and performance simulation.
\r\n
\r\nTheory: Students will get a broad critical understanding of a range of digital techniques used in practice, and how these can be applied during the design process.
\r\n
\r\nPractice: Students will experiment with a subset of the techniques discussed in the theoretical part. During this experimentation, they will gain hands on experience with applying a set of software tools in a small design project.

\n\t\t\t\tComputational design has grown in importance and is fundamentally changing the nature of the design process in architectural practice. This module focuses on the ability to explore alternative design solutions as a means to inform the design and decision-making process. Without computational means, it is generally infeasible to consider more than a few design alternatives, even if the design solution space is uncountably large. Design space exploration is the idea that computers can be used to help designers by representing many designs, organizing them in a network structure that forms the space, and by assisting designers to explore this space: that is, to make new designs and to move among previously discovered designs in the network. Using techniques such as parametric/associative modelling, rule-based generation and more general algorithmic design generation allows defining and investigating a family or language of designs. Besides investigating one or more such techniques, we will also investigate the main characteristics of the design space and its structure.
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\tThe lecture topics will cover some of the following aspects related to design space exploration:
\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\tcomputational structures and techniques to support design space exploration
\n\t\t\t\t\t\tparametric/associative modelling

In order to read and interpret an increasing number of high-impact papers, biologists require a degree of familiarity with theoretical terminology and concepts. Collaborations between theoreticians and empiricists are facilitated by mutual understanding of each other’s fields. Therefore, a grounding in the basic principles of theoretical biology and an overview of the history of the subject is increasingly valuable for young scientists.
\n
\nThe course will be structured around a series of classic papers. Examples of the case studies that will be used are
\n·       The paradox of enrichment: How nutrient enrichment can potentially destabilise ecological systems
\n·       Foot-and-mouth disease: A prominent example of biological theory providing positive outcomes for policy and management
\n·       The evolution of eusociality: Comparing kin selection models to game theoretic models
\n·       Theories of biodiversity: neutral and niche-based theories
\n
\nThe lectures will give an overview of the classic papers and describe basic elements of the underlying theory. The tutorials will give students the opportunity to discuss the papers in depth and to practise relevant quantitative skills.
\n
\nThe course covers topics in ecology, evolution, and epidemiology, with the relative emphasis on the topics determined to some extent by the needs and interests of the students.

It usually takes a long-term view of the business and where it is headed. But strategy formulation is inherently a chaotic, iterative and messy process, quite unlike what the tradition corporate strategic planning text describes it to be. Students will learn how to derive the Strategic Position of the firm using industry, competitive, capabilities & purpose and cultural analysis. As strategy formulation is complex and uncertain, strategic choices or options will need to be developed and evaluated. Once a strategy is chosen, it will need to be widely communicated throughout the firm, in different ways to different audiences so that there is clarity, buy-in and agreement as to the direction the firm should take to ensure that it can build and sustain a competitive edge against other players in the market.
\r\n
\r\nBut the process doesn’t end there. Strategy management (or Strategy in Action) is then the on-going effort to ensure that the day-to-day tactics that the firm pursues takes it ever closer to the strategic direction the firm has committed to. Metrics will need to be developed and tracked to ensure that the firm is undergoing the changes required to achieve the desired strategic outcome and direction. Resistance to these changes, as a result of established dominant logic or threats to personal power will need to be dealt with.
\r\nThe difficulties encountered along the way will usually provide valuable lessons in how the strategy should be tweaked, as rarely will the strategy be right the first time. The strategy may have to be cascaded across different departments and units across the firm or interpreted and implemented with acceptable variances in the firms various business units.. So, whilst there is much science in strategy in the form of frameworks and analysis that provide the right context and content, there is also much art in how choices are made in the absence of perfect information and in ensuring that cultural and mindset change along with resistance to the new strategy are appropriately managed.

As this is an MBA course, students are expected to be familiar with the basic concepts explained in the text and to familiarize themselves by reading the text before (as such, a quiz forming 20% of the course grading will be administered before the class using the Pearson website MyStrategyLab), as the value of this course is in the insights the student can gain by applying the concepts and frameworks to actual business problems and situations, and to hear practical insights from those who have formulated, communicated and implemented strategies.
\r\n
\r\nTo achieve this, the case study method will be used extensively to give students as close practical hands-on as possible in a classroom environment. Cases will be selected to emphasize a particular concept, framework or tool. Students will also work in groups to create a case study of a firm where they have exceptional insight of a successful (or failed) strategy that has been implemented to capture a business opportunity or repel a business threat, and these cases will be used by “opposing teams” as the raw input they will use to put into practice what they have learnt in the course, acting as external consultants or the strategy unit of the firm. In this way, the course hopes to re-enact the real life messiness of strategy formulation, communication and on-going management. An alternative to this is to leverage the strategy lab simulation experience. This will be discussed and agreed with students when the course begins.
\r\n
\r\nParticipation
\r\n
\r\nIt is expected that all students read the relevant chapters of the textbook, all required reading stipulated and the assigned case before the class. In reading the assigned case, they should put themselves in the shoes of the leader of the business detailed in the case, and try and grasp the pertinent issues and the forces at play. This is crucial as the value in such a class at MBA level is not to learn the textbook concepts, which can be achieved by reading any leading text on the subject but by gaining an appreciation of the complexity of the business problem at hand, distilling the issues and forces into the key ones and gleaming insights that are not immediately obvious to the casual reader. During class, the assigned case will be discussed at length. Students should not expect model answers by the instructor, as in real-life there are no such easy answers. Debate amongst students should yield contrasting viewpoints and frames of reference that allow the formulation of a range of viable strategic choices and options. The use of mobile phones, laptops, etc are strictly prohibited during class as they are a distraction and their use indicates a lack of engagement that is vital to the success of this course. At the end of each class, we will do a quick snapshot of the case to be reviewed in the next class. As far as possible cases have been selected in advance, but students are asked to bear in mind that cases can be changed with adequate notice based on the student’s comprehension and needs.

We will examine the difference between leadership and management, the cultural context of leadership, personal attributes of the leader using the Big Five Personality Profiling, the many ways that leaders can exercise influence over his/her subordinates.\r\n\r\nWe then examine the several major leadership models such as transformational leadership, servant leadership, authentic leadership, change leadership and see how a leadership practicitioner needs to adapt these approaches in order to be effective in different parts of Asia.","Order":1},{"ID":"2dc3e25c-98e3-4faf-a5fe-6cddc1fa2191","Title":"Workload","Description":"3-0-0-4-3

In fact people used to call channels the `dark continent? of marketing, that is best left to `truckers?. But, is this true? One can make at least four observations: long term commitment of channel related decisions, existence of channel `power play,? market dynamics caused by channel changes, and the impact of internet on channel intermediaries. All these issues are very difficult to comprehend and solve if we do not understand `what channels are for?? Channel management is not just managing the retailers and the trucks and delivery personnel, but it is much larger than that. \r\n\r\nIn Pricing, the one element of marketing strategy that is least understood and hence constantly feared by many managers is pricing. This is because pricing is a very complex issue. On one hand, it is supposed to reflect all the strategic steps the company has taken to bring the product to the consumer and convince him/her to buy it as well. On the other hand, it is supposed to reflect what the consumer would get out of the product by paying that price to acquire it. Will there be a match between the two? Perhaps and perhaps not. This dilemma makes it imperative for a manager needs to understand and analyze various factors in arriving at an appropriate pricing strategy. And, pricing does not operate in vacuum. It has to be married with other elements of the marketing strategy, including the channel management we discuss in this course. Thus, understanding the broader picture of the various elements of pricing, and building a scientific framework on pricing will always be reliable and better in the long run. \r\n\r\n","Order":1},{"ID":"2e5f053b-8835-4692-be49-41f07234cfff","Title":"Prerequisites (What should I know?)","Description":"BMA5009","Order":2},{"ID":"b223a88b-a443-43c1-8314-59b5126e8dc8","Title":"Workload","Description":"3-0-0-0-7

\r\n\tIntroduction

\r\n

\r\n\tThe majority of graduating engineers will pursue an industrial position upon completion of their bachelor degree. The fresh graduate may immediately be confronted with practical issues such as project management, design review, user specifications, regulatory compliance, design documentation, design verification amongst other myriad of responsibility piled upon them. Having spent four years studying various academic subjects the recent graduate may be frustrated by the apparent disconnect between university education and the real world. The intent of this module is to create real world experience by introducing real world medical problems requiring design solutions. Using project-focused environment, the students will learn design methodologies drawing upon knowledge already acquired in other courses. Emphasis will be placed on providing bioengineering design solutions within the constrains of regulatory requirements, economics and bioethical issues while at the same time appreciating the clinical environment and clinical needs in which the design solution will have to operate in.

\r\n

\r\n

\r\n\tBrief Module Description

\r\n

\r\n\tThis module is designed as a core module for the third year bioengineering undergraduates. It introduces concepts, processes and frameworks for analyzing user needs, creating and documenting design solutions and defining and identifying constrains. Topics are presented in a problem-focused modular format to enable the student to acquire new skills to solve a real world bioengineering problem drawing upon relevant knowledge acquired from other courses. Topics covered include, design methodology (including ergonomics and human factors), quality systems, intellectual property protection, design validation, regulatory requirements, bioethics and CAD modeling. Emphasis is on teamwork, project-based learning and entrepreneurial thinking. The team based term projects will require design process documentations and oral presentations.

Dimensional analysis and the concept of similitude will help reinforce the fundamental considerations essential for experiments with fluid phenomena. By the end of the course, the student should understand the concepts of conservation of mass, momentum and energy and how these can be applied to flow measuring devices, to the estimation of frictional losses for flows in pipelines, to pumping systems and other engineering applications.

It covers the basic concepts of the conservation of mass and momentum to the solution of the small amplitude waves together with its engineering properties such as particle kinematics, pressure fields, energy propagation, shoaling, refraction and diffraction. Some non-linear properties derivable from the linear theory, such as mass transport, momentum flux and the radiation stress concept, would also be covered. The perturbation method for Stokes second order waves and its engineering properties will also be introduced.
\r\n
\r\nThe module also introduces the superposition principle and the concept of the wave spectrum. Statistical properties of wind generated waves in deep water using crossing and spectral analyses for short term and long term statistics which would be useful in design wave selection would be introduced.
\r\n
\r\nThe module also covers the theory of tides and its significant constitutents as well basic elements of geophysical flows which include the Ekman spiral, upwelling and downwelling, surges due to wind stress and effects of co-oscillating tides in bays and shelfs.","Order":1},{"ID":"2e5f053b-8835-4692-be49-41f07234cfff","Title":"Prerequisites (What should I know?)","Description":"CE2134 Hydraulics or CE4 standing or higher","Order":2},{"ID":"3e5f053b-8835-4692-be49-41f07234cfff","Title":"Teaching Modes","Description":"Lectures, IVLE, tests, problem-based tutorials","Order":3},{"ID":"6e5f053b-8835-4692-be49-41f07234cfff","Title":"Syllabus","Description":"

\n\t\t\t\tLaboratory meets	\n\t\t\t\t10 sessions of 2 hours each. Please see the lab schedule for details.
\n\t\t\t\tLaboratory groups	\n\t\t\t\tFor all the experiments, students in each lab session are to work as groups of 2. Each group of student will be assigned a group number within their session.
\n\t\t\t\tLaboratory location	\n\t\t\t\tCOM1-B1-02 (Data Comm Lab 1)
\n\t\t\t\tLaboratory registration	\n\t\t\t\tEach student should register for lab session individually using the On-line registration system.
\n\t\t\t\tLaboratory policy	\n\t\t\t\tAttendance, punctuality, preparedness and discipline are very important ingredients for working in the CS3103 lab. \n\t\t\t\t \n\t\t\t\t\tNO MAKEUP LAB SESSIONS WILL BE ENTERTAINED. In case you miss a lab for a valid reason, you must join in the same week with another group after taking permission from the lab instructor. \n\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\tLate comers policy	\n\t\t\t\tLate comers to the lab will be penalized as follows: \n\t\t\t\t15 mins 20% off the lab weightage for that expt \n\t\t\t\t30 mins 50% off the lab weightage for that expt \n\t\t\t\t45 mins No credit for that lab experiment.
\n\t\t\t\tCheating Policy	\n\t\t\t\tStudents are encouraged to discuss their lab experiment and results with others. However, the lab questionnaire which is turned in must have been produced by the student group themselves. If any cheating in way of copying is noticed, no credit may be given for the submission. \n\t\t\t\t \n\t\t\t\t\tNote that bringing past year questionnaires into the laboratory is also considered as cheating. \n\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\tLab Questionnaire	\n\t\t\t\tWe have observed in the past that many student groups spend a lot of time in capturing screen to produce a cosmetically good looking report, without spending enough time to understand the basics of networking. Students seem to work towards the goal of writing a beautiful report. This really defeats the purpose of having lab sessions, where we expect students to explore new ways of connecting, try new options with network commands, etc. \n\t\t\t\t \n\t\t\t\t\tInstead of writing a lab report for each experiment, a lab questionnaire containing simple questions relevant to the experiment is given. All groups must answer the questions during the lab session itself and return the questionnaire before leaving the lab. \n\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\tPre-Lab Quiz	\n\t\t\t\t \n\t\t\t\t\tThere will be a 15 minutes quiz before each lab session that would examine the student's understanding of the topic and preparedness to do the experiment independently. It is closed book quiz. \n\t\t\t

\nThe primary purpose of this course is to learn to read, to think, and to write critically. The ultimate concern is learning for self-fulfillment. Students are expected to be active learners; rote learning is strongly discouraged. Knowledge is to be discovered by the students themselves, with the instructor being a facilitator and a model. Transfer and acquisition of knowledge are expected to be the natural outcome of the collective quest for self-fulfillment in this course. Fun and joy are only for the individual learner to appreciate and cherish.","Order":1},{"ID":"2e5f053b-8835-4692-be49-41f07234cfff","Title":"Prerequisites (What should I know?)","Description":"Must obtain:\r\n1) At least a B4 for (a) Higher Chinese at GCE 'O' Level, or (b) Chinese Language at GCE 'AO' Level (at GCE 'A' Level examination); OR\r\n2) At least a pass for (a) Chinese at GCE 'A' Level, or (b) Higher Chinese at GCE 'A' Level; OR\r\n3) At least C grade for Chinese Language (H1CL) at GCE 'A' Level; OR\r\n4) At least a pass for (a) Chinese Language and Literature (H2CLL) at GCE 'A' Level, or (b) Chinese Language and Literature (H3CLL) at GCE 'A' Level.\r\n5) Equivalent qualifications may be accepted.","Order":2},{"ID":"3e5f053b-8835-4692-be49-41f07234cfff","Title":"Teaching Modes","Description":"Lecture and discussion.

\r\n

\r\n\tThe final mark achieved in this module is based on the Continuous Assessment (50%) and Final Exam (50%). The components of the Continuous Assessment include a group project and class participation.

\r\n

\r\n\t

\r\n

\r\n\tProject and paper

\r\n

\r\n\t

\r\n

\r\n\tStudents will need to organize themselves into groups of two or three for the group project. The group composition should ideally be settled before the mid-term break. The aim of the project is for students to work together to select and analyze the salient characteristics of vocabulary in Singapore Mandarin. You will have a chance to discuss your project work with your teacher either in class or at a specially arranged time.

\r\n

\r\n\tThe group project will be presented orally in the 12th week, which should be accompanied by a jointly-written report. The presentation should last about 15 minutes, and the written report should closely reflect the oral presentation. Please also include title, a reference list and a paragraph on the contribution of each group member. The report should be polished and in continuous prose (not in point form). Presentation should consist of a brief critical commentary of the research and the paper, i.e. include the following:

\r\n

\r\n\t\texplanation of what a student was attempting to do and how s/he set about it,
\r\n\t\tsome comments on particular features of the work, and
\r\n\t\tstatement of the difficulties the candidate might have encountered.

\r\n

\r\n\tStudents should be ready to answer questions about their work, and defend their point of view. Question time is not included into the presentation time.

\r\n

\r\n\tThe written report and oral presentation will be marked and the same mark will be awarded to all members of the same group, and this will count towards 25 marks of your final score for the module.

\r\n

\r\n\tFeedback: when your report has been marked, I will give an overall comment in words at the end of your report, and may also give marginal comments.

\r\n

\r\n\t

\r\n

\r\n\tClass attendance and participation

\r\n

\r\n\t

\r\n

\r\n\tA total of 25 marks will be assigned for class attendance and participation. If your attendance is irregular, you will receive a very low score for this. We expect students to come to class prepared: this means having gone through lecture notes and completed the various readings required. We will often discuss the readings and go over issues from the homework in class. We also expect students to be willing to contribute to the discussion. Periodically, we will supplement in-class discussion with online discussion via IVLE. You may also use IVLE for more informal discussions or ask questions about issues in Chinese Lexicology.

\r\n

\r\n\t

\r\n

\r\n\tFinal Exam

\r\n

\r\n\t

\r\n

\r\n\tThis will be an open-book two-hour paper exam, which will count towards 50% of your final score for the module.

\nPhysical chemistry is the study of phenomena in chemical systems in terms of physical concepts and laws. In CM1131, two of the pillars of physical chemistry will be explored. Thermodynamics gives us information on the energetics of chemical reactions whether the reaction can proceed in the forward or backwards direction. If the rate of reaction is required, the field of chemical kinetics will help us understand the process in detail down to the atomic or molecular level.

\r\n\tThis module is a third-year elective in the field of theoretical chemistry. The purpose of the module is to introduce students to three of the most fundamental topics not only in chemistry, but in physical sciences in general:
\r\n\t

\r\n

\r\n\t\tQuantization of matter and energy;
\r\n\t\tThe role of symmetry in Nature; and,
\r\n\t\tThe probabilistic basis of natural phenomena

\r\n

\r\n\tThe learning goal is to integrate the student's knowledge and understanding of these aspects into a single whole. The students are expected to acquire skills in the understanding and in the interpretation of molecular spectra (ultraviolet and infrared), to understand the principles behind molecular modelling methods and to deepen their understanding of thermodynamics and kinetics from the molecular point of view.

\r\n\tAll students are required to read, be aware of and abide by the safety rules and regulations of the Department of Chemistry.
\r\n\t
\r\n\tThe safety information can be viewed at http://www.chemistry.nus.edu.sg/PSSO/index.htm, under "Undergraduate Safety Information" section. In particular, students must read the Undergraduate Safety Note and submit your online safety declaration by Week 1 on IVLE, via the "Poll" function.
\r\n\t
\r\n\tWithout the online safety declaration, student will NOT be allowed to attend any lab session.
\r\n\t
\r\n\tPlease follow the following general guidelines:

\r\n

\r\n\t\tLab coats and safety goggles must be worn when you are in the chemistry lab. Since we never know what, when & how accidents will happen to you during the lab sessions.
\r\n\t\tDo not wear lab coats and gloves when you are out of the lab. Do not touch anything (such as lift buttons, light switch buttons, toilet doors, etc) with your gloved hands. This may unintentionally spread harmful chemicals out, polluting our common areas.
\r\n\t\tShorts, sandals and open-toed shoes are strictly disallowed before you enter the lab.
\r\n\t\tTie up your long hair. It is of your own potential risk for any sorts of possible accidents in the lab.
\r\n\t\tEating and/or drinking are strictly prohibited at any time while you are working or not in the lab.
\r\n\t\tKeep all working places (balance, bench, sink and floor) clean and tidy as much as possible.

\r\n

\r\n\t\tThe purpose of a pre-lab assignment is to help students to prepare the experiments with sufficient level of confidence and safety concern before entering the lab.
\r\n\t\tFor each test, 5-10 true/False, MC and/or Fill-in-the-blank questions relating to theory, experimental aspects and saftety of each experiment will be given and student should be able to complete them all within 10 mins.
\r\n\t\tThe outcome is either Pass or Fail, this assignment will be conducted online (see "Assessment" in IVLE page, there are the respective pre-lab assignments for five experiments).
\r\n\t\tAgain, this is a compulsory requirement for students before they start their experiments.

\r\n

\r\n\t
\r\n\tViva (10%)

\r\n

\r\n\t\tThe purpose of a viva exam is to assess the students' ability to express chemistry concepts orally to others and their in-depth understanding of the experiment.
\r\n\t\tViva questions will be solely based on the content of those experiments. Basic organic and inorganic chemistry knowledge of the compounds and the reactions, technique of the experiments, etc. will be covered.
\r\n\t\tThe time schedule and further information can be obtained from the lecturer-in-charge. Normally viva is during one or a few lab sessions.

\r\n\tWritten Test (20%)
\r\n\t
\r\n\t

\r\n\t\t\tThe purpose of the written test is assess students' understanding of the experiment as well as the specific theory, technique, skill and analysis which are related to all those experiments attempted in this module.

\r\n\t
\r\n\tPractical Examination (30%)

\r\n

\r\n\t\tThe practical exam will be a new organic/inorganic experiment, or an existing one in the module.Attendance for the practical examination is compulsory! No make-up examination will be generally offered.
\r\n\t\t
\r\n\t\t\tThe practical examination will be conducted on the normal lab sessions in Week 13.

\r\n\t
\r\n\tLab Reports (40%)

\r\n

\r\n\t\tAll lab reports (hardcopy and softcopy) shall be submitted one week after the completion of the experiment. Failure to submit the lab report before the deadline will be subjected to a mark deduction plenty to that report (i.e. 5 marks per day late). If it is over 5 working days, the student will receive a zero mark for that report.
\r\n\t\tFormat of report:
\r\n\t\tthree types of Lab reports: LONG, SHORT & PRO-FORMA
\r\n\t\tLONG lab report includes: Abstract, Introduction, Experimental Procedure, Result&Discussion, Answers-to-Questions, Conclusion, References, Appendix (signed rawdata & spectra). The suggested page limit of LONG report is 6.
\r\n\t\tSHORT lab report includes: Aims/Objectives, Result&Discussion, Answers-to-Questions, Conclusion, References, Appendix (signed rawdata & spectra). The suggested page limit of SHORT report is 4.
\r\n\t\tPRO-FORMA has two pages that cover key questions on data analysis, observation and questions related to the experiments. This report has to be submitted just after the experiment finished. Late submission is not acceptable and subjected to mark deduction. The report sheet is only available as a hardcopy in the date of respective experimental session. All students MUST submit this lab proforma report by 5:30 pm on that date.
\r\n\t\tStudents will be evaluated on not only report writing, but also more importantly, lab performance and safety. The teaching assistants should make necessary mark adjustment on his/her lab report especially if the overall performance of the student is found to be not very satisfactory.
\r\n\t\tSince different students may conduct different experiments on the same day, in such cases the lab report shall be marked and returned to the students on two occasions: those submitted before Recess Week shall be returned to students on Week 7; those submitted after Recess Week shall be returned to students after Reading Week.
\r\n\t\tAll reports will be subjected to checks for plagiarism by the Module Coordinator.

The space taken up by raw datasheets, figures, plots, spectra or chromatograms will not be counted towards the page limit (no matter whether in the main text of the report, or attached as Appendices), but the space taken up by tables will be counted (in other words, you need to design your tables wisely).
\n\t\t\t\t\t\tThe page limit for Experiment 2 (physical) is eight A4 pages (eight sides) since there are two parts to the experiment.
\n\t\t\t\t\t\tA longer lab report does not necessarily equate to a better lab report. Conciseness is the key.
\n\t\t\t\t\t\tA complete lab report (inclusive of data sheet, spectrum, etc.) is to be submitted by 5 pm one week after date of completion of the experiment. If this day is a public holiday, the report has to be submitted by 5pm the next working day. If this day falls on the Recess Week, the report has to be submitted by 5pm on the Monday of Week 7.

\n\t\t\t\tViva (overall 10%)
\n\t\t\t\tThe purpose of the viva is to assess your understanding of the practicals you have done. A few questions will be asked based on the expts you have already completed, and will focus on the following aspects:
\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t• the principles of the expt, and basic chemistry related to the expt

\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t• the methodology

\r\n\tChemical biology is an emerging discipline that blends chemistry with many fields of biology to unravel the complexities of life at the interface of chemistry and biology. Through the use of primary scientific literature, this module attempts to summarize the different chemical tools and approaches that have been successfully employed to study biological systems. The syllabus is structured around the central dogma of molecular biology (i.e. the flow of genetic information from DNA to RNA to proteins). Chemical principles underlying these molecular processes and chemical biology approaches to understand the structures and functions of nucleic acids, proteins/enzymes, and primary/secondary metabolites will be discussed. Beyond the central dogma, selected topics in biology that are amenable to chemical biology approaches will also be treated.

\r\n\tThis module will be taught in a way to facilitate active learning, and to create an environment where students put in the effort to learn because of curiosity and will actively participate and cooperate to improve everyone's understanding of course material.
\r\n\t
\r\n\t
\r\n\tLectures (Mon and Thu 12.00-1.30 pm, S16-03-05/06 active learning room)
\r\n\t
\r\n\tLectures will be held in the science faculty active learning room (instead of a traditional lecture theatre) and are designed to have mulitple interactive components. Students will be organized to sit in small groups, where they will work together to help each other learn and apply the material discussed in class. Some independent preparation (in the form of viewing online clips, reviewing fundamental knowledge, or reading assigned papers, etc) is required prior to attending lectures.
\r\n\t
\r\n\t
\r\n\tTutorials (1 h for 6/7 weeks during semester - see Schedule for time slots; venue to be confirmed)
\r\n\t
\r\n\tTutorials will be held in small groups (10-12 students). During each tutorial, students will present and facilitate the discussion of 1-2 preassigned papers (from current literature) with the help of the lecturer. Students are encouraged to actively participate in discussion and are expected to prepare a mini-presentation of one paper each (over the whole semester). More details will be released at the beginning of the semester.
\r\n\t
\r\n\t
\r\n\tShort assignments (see Schedule for timeline)
\r\n\t
\r\n\tThere will be two graded assignments, each consisting of two exam-level questions, that will be handed out during the semester. These assignments are to be completed and submitted by each student within two weeks. There will also be two (or more) non-graded assignments that will be handed out as practice problems. Answer keys to these non-graded assignments will be released after two weeks.
\r\n\t
\r\n\t
\r\n\tProject work (see Schedule for timeline)
\r\n\t
\r\n\tProject work for this module involves writing an original research proposal in Chemical Biology. This will be a group project. The project would be challenging for most students, but you will receive ample help and guidance from the lecturer. More details will be released at the beginning of the semester.

\r\n\tThe main lecture material runs for the first 7-9 weeks (including set-up), after which there are a few “highlight” guest lectures. At the end of each main lecture there will be a few tutorial-like questions for you to check some aspects of your own learning. The answers to these questions will be briefly outlined at the beginning of the next lecture. Note, these are not assessed, and solutions will not be put up on IVLE, and will not be dealt with at the tutorial sessions.
\r\n\tFor each part of the lecture material there will be reading material on IVLE which you are expected to read. The lecture course is dense, and just coming along and looking at the lecture overheads is unlikely to be sufficient for you to get a good grade. Remember, you read for your degree. Lecture overheads will be available for the lectures on IVLE.

\r\n

\r\n\tYou will be assigned to a tutorial group, and need to elect a representative. The tutorial sessions are required time for you as students to consolidate your knowledge – we are aware that the material in this module may be rather new to you, and rather unlike in content what you have previously encountered. The tutorial group is small (about 5-6 people), and are there to help you. There are a number of things that will happen in these groups:

\r\n\t\tYou will be able to discuss the material with each other to consolidate your own work
\r\n\t\tYou will each give a presentation to the rest of your group on a subject covered by the lecture course in the storage & distribution or efficiency use areas. This should help all to consolidate their own learning
\r\n\t\tThe group will produce a Tutorial Presentation in week 10.
\r\n\t\tYou will be able discuss the coursework assignments etc. with each other

\r\n

\r\n\tThe tutorials will not be assessed per se, but toward the end of the module the group be responsible for a Tutorial Presentation to staff (a representative to present, whole group attend) and the mark earned will be a group mark. If any student would like the attendance of either of us at a particular tutorial, if they email the request with the reason for the request, then we will do our best to attend in the assigned tutorial room. These times are opportunities for you as students to meet and discuss your work on this module. All of the work on this module is individual, but probably rather different to work you have done on other Chemistry modules, therefore (with the caveat on plagiarism), you are encouraged to meet and discuss your work with each other.
\r\n\tFinally, and by necessity, fairly formally, you will be working individually and as part of a group on this module. All submitted work will be checked for plagiarism. Please make sure you understand the University rules on plagiarism. If you are found to have broken these rules, you could get zero for the affected work (first offence) or zero for the module (subsequent offence).

\r\n\tFirst of all, welcome to CM4282 Energy Resources from your hosts, Simon Watts and Cheng Hansong. We think you will find this module slightly different to many you have done previously, it will be challenging, but also we hope rewarding. This is one of the Chemistry (Environment and Energy specialisation) modules, and it seeks to examine questions related to where and how humankind will obtain the “energy” it needs in the next 20-50 years, (although as you will see this is badly put). This module probes not only the detailed chemistry of these energy sources but also perforce has to look at some of the impacts of the utilisation of energy sources, so touches on what the environmental, technical and policy implications of the utilisation these sources might be.
\r\n\t
\r\n\tThroughout the course staff will be available to you. Both SFW and CHS are available in their offices as notified on IVLE. These are “drop-in” times, and this time is for nominal 10 minute meetings. For something longer or bigger, please email to arrange an appointment. Equally if you wish to invite either or both of us to a particular tutorial session, please email.

\r\n\t\t\t\tModule Description:	\r\n\t\t\t\tThis module comprises of a physico-chemical study of the energy resources and the environmental and economic implications of their exploitation. Following the history of energy consumption, the current situation is summarized, and the implications of the continuation of the status quo identified. Concepts of fitness for purpose, and environmental and economic sustainability are explored. Key technologies areas cover generation, use efficiency, and storage and transmission. These are illustrated with quantitative case studies.	\r\n\t\t\t\t

\r\n\t\t\t\tRationale for introducing this module:	\r\n\t\t\t\tThe Chemistry Major curriculum has been re-structured to offer BSc Hons degree in Chemistry with Specialization in Materials Chemistry, Medicinal Chemistry and Environment and Energy. This Level 4000 module forms part of the Environment & Energy specialisation. It applies the disciplinal knowledge and tools of a chemist to the growing problem of growth and energy demand, in the context of environmental change. Chemists have to engage these issues in their professional lives, and hence a background in these areas better suits our graduates for employment in a growing global marketplace.	\r\n\t\t\t\t

\n\tThis module is the second part of a three-part series on introductory programming and problem solving by computing. It continues the introduction that begins in CS1010, and emphasizes object-oriented programming with application to simple data structures. Topics covered include object-oriented problem modeling with concepts of objects, classes and methods, object-oriented problem formulation and problem solving, data structure implementation strategies, abstraction and encapsulation of data structures, object-oriented programming constructs, use of APIs and class libraries, exception handling, lists, linked lists, stacks, queues, hash tables and their algorithmic design, various forms of sorting and searching methods, recursive algorithms, and Big-O notation.

\n\tAfter taking the modules, the students will acquire the knowledge and skills in object-oriented programming (Java) and applications of simple data structures, as well as problem formulation and problem solving involving simple data structures.

\nFocus: The module will focus on the basic data structures and algorithms that lie at the core of computer science, and how they can be used to improve performance in real-world problems. Throughout the module, we will discuss how to model problems in different ways, and how differing strategies can yield very different performance characteristics. We will both analyze algorithms to better understand their asymptotic performance, and implement them in Java to understand the issues that arise in practice. The goal of this module is both to help you learn how to how to choose and use better data structures and algorithms.","Order":1},{"ID":"6e5f053b-8835-4692-be49-41f07234cfff","Title":"Syllabus","Description":"CS2010:

\nHandled by Steven @ LT19 every week.
\nAlgorithms presented in the lectures will be written in language-independent style (pseudo-code).
\nHowever, all in-lecture examples will be written in Java.
\nWe will heavily use the algorithm visualization tool: http://rosemarietan.com/fyp/ (old one: http://www.comp.nus.edu.sg/~stevenha/visualization) during lecture and also the "clicker/classroom response system": http://www.cit.nus.edu.sg/classroom-response-system/
\n
\nTutorials: 45 minutes = 5 minutes quick review + 35 minutes students' presentations + 5 minutes buffer.
\n
\nDemo Labs: 45 minutes = 30 minutes of demos by Lab TAs + 10 minutes of on the spot Q&A about the demo of that week + 5 minutes buffer.
\nThese lab demos are conducted by lab TAs.
\nStudents are expected to understand the given demo and have to answer related questions on the spot, i.e. increase "code comprehension" skills.
\nAll demo codes will be given in Java.
\n
\nProblem Sets: Expected time required to get basic features done: ~3 hours/week, exponentially many more hours if you are interested to solve the bonus/R parts :).
\nThese take-home problem sets will be somehow related to the lecture materials (of previous weeks) and also parts of tutorial + lab demos that week.
\nThese problem sets will be graded by your Lab TA.
\n
\nOnline Tests: Online Quiz 1, Online Quiz 2.
\nThis is new for this semester: Details as announced in class.
\n
\nWritten Tests: Written Quiz 1, Written Quiz 2, Final Exam.
\nWe have two rounds of written tests instead of one big mid semester test so that each test can be (slightly) easier and give more opportunity for students to catch up.
\nAll written tests will use pseudo-code, so no actual Java (or even C++) codes are needed although students are free to answer using Java (or C++).

\n\tThis module is the first part of a two-part series on the practice of software engineering in the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC). These two modules together provide students with hands-on experience in working in project groups through a complete SDLC to develop a well-designed, well-tested, large-scale software system. This first part focuses on applying best software engineering practices on the analysis and design of software systems. The students will practice the analysis of user’s needs, formulation of computing requirements to meet the user’s needs, modeling and design of the computer system according to the requirements, and evaluation of the design.

\n\tYou can quickly find out about the approach taken in this project course, and about experiences teaching it in the paper "Teaching an Advanced Design, Team-oriented Software Project Course", published in the Proceedings of the 26th Conference on Software Engineering Education and Training (2013).

\n\tCS3201/CS3202 replaces the former CS3215 that was offered in a single term and was worth 8 modular credits. CS3201 and CS3202 are each worth 4 modular credits. The full-year formula allows us to look deeper into software architecture issues, and to do team work with elements of individual assessment during requirements analysis and architecture design.

\n\tThe essence of this course is advanced software design in action. Students learn to apply design principles and "best development practices" in practice. Architectural design, design specifications and evaluation of alternative design solutions that lead to quality code are emphasized throughout the course. The problem students work on is carefully selected to demonstrate the application of design principles. The size of the problem and iterative development style make it difficult to succeed in the project without applying a principled and systematic approach to design, documentation, development and testing.

\n\tSpecific objectives are:

\n\t\tApply software engineering principles in practice
\n\t\tFollow the SDLC according to the "best software engineering practices"
\n\t\tDefine and document software architecture, justify design decisions (CS3201)
\n\t\tApply and consolidate what students have learned in these three programming courses: CS1101, CS1102 and CS2103
\n\t\tDevelop an ability to work as part of a group in a project of substantial size and complexity
\n\t\tEnhance project planning skills
\n\t\tDevelop writing skills
\n\t\tDevelop a well-tested, production-quality software system in iterative development (CS3202)
\n\t\tPrepare students for industrial projects

\n\tIn CS3201, students do requirements analysis, architecture design and extensive prototyping.

\n\tDuring requirements analysis (Assignment 1) students work in groups, 2-3 students per group. Students form their groups independently and do not need to register their group with the lecturer or teaching assistants.

\n\tDuring architectural design and prototyping (Assignment 2, 3 and 4) students work in teams of six. Students form teams independently and need to register their team on IVLE before strating the work for Assignment 2. Students will be notified through Announcements when to register their team.

\n\tThe course involves lectures, tutorials, consultations, assignments, two tests, and final project presentation.

\n\t\tLectures: Introduce students to the problem domain (Static Program Analysis), and discuss software design principles/methods to be used in the project.
\n\t\tFour assignments: One assignment related to requirements analysis, and two assignments related to the architecture. In the fourth assignment students implement a prototype.\n\t\t
- \n\t\t\t\tStudents work on Assignment 1 in a group of two to three students and submit answers as a group.
- \n\t\t\t\tStudents work on Assignments 2, 3 and 4 in a team of six students and submit answers as a team.
\n\t
\n\t\tTutorials: During requirements analysis and architecture design, students have tutorials similar to those conducted in most other modules. Students study sample problems given in advance and then discuss solutions with an instructor during tutorial sessions. Tutorial registration is conducted on CORS. Students work on requirements and architecture assignments in groups/teams, but it is not required that the whole group/team registers for the same tutorial slot.
\n\t\tConsultations: Consultations replace tutorials during prototyping (final five weeks of the course). Students work on a prototype in teams of six students. All team members meet together with their supervisor during their assigned consultation slot to discuss any questions raised by the team. You will form teams and we will register teams for consultation slots at an appropriate time.
\n\t\tTwo tests: Tests are scheduled during our regular lectures and cover requirements analysis and architectural design.
\n\t\tFinal project presentation: At the end of the course, teams submit documentation and code of the prototype they implemented, and they conduct a presentation of their work. Usually presentations are scheduled during the Reading Week.

\n\tTools

\n\tA software team needs a set of good tools to build a product. For CS3201 we recommend the following tools:

\n\t\tC++ compiler: Visual Studio 2010 or Visual C++ 2010 Express. This is a requirement since the other tools used in the course depend on this. Please avoid using other versions of Visual Studio (such as VS2012) because you may have problems integrating with AutoTester and CPPUnit.
\n\t\tVersion control system: It is required that you use a Version Control System (VCS) and update it regularly with your code. You can use the Subversion server of SoC or a DVCS (Distributed Version Control System) such as Mercurial or Git.
\n\t\tUnit Testing Framework: You can use CPPUnit, other frameworks or write your own.
\n\t\tDocumentation: Doxygen or other documentation tools.
\n\t\tDesign Tools: AgroUML, Visio and such tools can be used for creating and maintaining the UML models of your project.

\nTools Lab\n

\n\tOur tutorials used for Tools Lab can be found here:

\n\t\tCrash course in using CPPUnit
\n\t\tGuide to using TortoiseSVN

\nAutoTester\n

\n\tSPA implementations submitted by students will be tested using the AutoTester. Teams should ensure that their submissions work with Autotester without any failures.

\n\tClick here to download the user guide for Autotester.

\nAutomatic Project Testing\n

\n\tThe Automatic Project Testing offers a start-up point for your project development and testing. You may use the sample Visual Studio 2010 solution as an example on how to structure your code and testing files. Also, this solution can be used as the base to start the project that can be modified according to your need. In the final states of the development, the sample script can be used to automatically run the complete set of tests.

\n\tYou should either use this sample or the AutoTester. This sample solution already contains the AutoTester library, so you do not need to download the AutoTester package from the website. However, you need to read the documentation about the AutoTester to be able to integrate your code with the AutoTester.

\n\tGrading Policy for CS3201

\n\t\t10%: Tutorials and Consultations
\n\t\t5%: Assignment 1 (Requirements)\n\t\t
- \n\t\t\t\tAssignments 2 and 3 (Design) are not graded and are instead for feedback only
\n\t
\n\t\t45%: 2 tests, one on Analysis (20%) and one on Architecture (25%)
\n\t\t40%: Assignment 4 (Prototype), final report and presentation

\n\tTutorials: Tutorials are for you to ask questions and for the instructor to check your understanding of SPA requirements analysis and API design. In order to benefit from tutorials, you are expected to come prepared. Bring any diagrams, sketches and examples that can help you explain any questions you may have, and to facilitate the discussion. Any problematic issues encountered during assignments will be discussed during tutorials. Grading is done based on your attendance, ability to answer questions, and active participation in tutorials. Attendance at and active participation in tutorials are compulsory.

\n\tAssignments: Each group submits one set of answers, and as a rule, all students in a group get the same grade. Any problems regarding the contribution to assignment solutions will be considered case by case. Assignments 2 and 3 on Design are not graded, but what you learn by doing those assignments (API design) is individually assessed in Test 2. Your knowledge of APIs also will be reflected in the final report and prototype grades. It is important that each student has a good understanding of API design in general, not just the API specifications of data abstractions he/she was directly invovled in. Late assignment policy: We do NOT accept late submissions. In turn, we will try to return marked assignments to you during tutorial sessions in the same week in which your assignment was due. This will then allow us to discuss any problematic answers to assignment questions during tutorials.

\n\tTests: Individual assessment.

\n\tPrototype: Team assessment, with grading based on documentation, the scope of functionality implemented, quality, and presentation.

\nPrototype Evaluation Criteria\n

\n\t\tTeam-work: The ability to work in a team.
\n\t\tReliability of SPA code: conformance of SPA code to requirement specifications (checked during auto-testing of your SPA at the end of the course).
\n\t\tConformance of implementation to architectural decisions (abstract APIs and information hiding).
\n\t\tImplementation strategies; Readability of code; Coding standards and practices.
\n\t\tQuality of project report.
\n\t\tQuality of project presentation (during project evaluation in recess week).

\nPolicy on Project Work\n

\n\t\tYou are permitted to discuss the project with anyone.
\n\t\tSolutions you hand in should be your own work -- coding and documentation should be the work of your team only!
\n\t\tYou may not view any code or document written for CS3201/2 and CS3215 in the past.
\n\t\tYou may not reveal your code and document to any students not in your team.
\n\t\tAny case of academic misconduct will be prosecuted to the fullest extent provided for by University regulations.

\n

\n\tSubmission of Final Project Report and Code

\nThe deadline for submission of your Final Project Report and Code is 2pm on Thursday, 14 November. \n

\n\tIf you submit report between 2 pm Thursday and 2 pm on Friday, penalty is 5 points (final submission has a maximum of 100 points).

\n\tIf you submit code between 2 pm Thursday and 2 pm on Friday, penalty is 20 points (final submission has a maximum of 100 points).

\nWe will not be able to accept your report and/or code after 2 pm on Friday, 19 April.
\nFor multiple submissions received from the same team we will mark the most recent one.
\n

\n\tReport and code softcopy submission: IVLE (see Section IVLE Submission).

\n\tReport hardcopy submission: Stan's office (COM2 #03-21).

\n\tFinal Project Requirements

\n\t\tYour report should comply with the Project Report Format given in Assignment 4.
\n\t\tAvoid repeating material contained in the Project Handbook; instead, such material can be referenced. We recommend that you use a 12pt single spacing font. It is important to make your report clear and readable. Make it as concise as possible, but also complete. In any case, do not exceed 50 pages (INCLUDING appendices). In fact, your report may be much shorter than 50 pages if you plan well what you want to say in the report. Use good examples to illustrate your design.
\n\t\tEmphasize in the report whatever you think is a strong point in your project that may affect your grade (e.g., good design solutions or extra features you implemented). Be brief about things that we already know well.

\n\tIVLE Submission

\n\tHow to submit:

\n\tCreate a folder called Team<XX> with your code, documentation and supplementary information. Archive this folder in an archive called Team<XX>.zip, where <XX> is your team's number.
\n\tSubmit the archive via IVLE:

\n\t\t
\n\t\t\tIVLE -> CS3201 -> Workbin -> Student Submission -> Final Project
\n\t

\n\tThere is NO need to submit your archive on CD (or DVD).

\n\tWhat to submit:

\n\tAs we only use the source code from your submission archive for testing, please ensure that you have included all required files. In the folder called Team<XX>, include the following:

\n\t\t
\n\t\t\tFile Team<XX>.pdf cotaining the final report.
\n\t
\n\t\t
\n\t\t\tSub-directory called Code<XX> containing (at least):
\n\t\t
1. \n\t\t\t\t
  \n\t\t\t\t\tSource code of SPA. Put source files in a sub-directory called source.
  \n\t\t\t
2. \n\t\t\t\t
  \n\t\t\t\t\tSolution file (.sln) for Visual Studio 2010 (and additional project files). The solution should build without errors in "Release" configuration.
  \n\t\t\t
3. \n\t\t\t\t
  \n\t\t\t\t\tReadme.txt file with instructions on how to compile and run the auto-tester on your SPA, AND the name of your solution that has to be built and the path to the executable produced.
  \n\t\t\t\t\tDo ensure that the solution files from your submission builds and produces the correct executable.
  \n\t\t\t
4. \n\t\t\t\t
  \n\t\t\t\t\tThe files you used to compile and run your auto-tester (mainly your TestWrapper class). Put them in a sub-directory called AutoTester.
  \n\t\t\t
5. \n\t\t\t\t
  \n\t\t\t\t\tTest programs (projects) you used for testing your SPA (unit and integration). For example, your cppunit test files and/or any test files you developed for your own testing. Put them in sub-directories called UnitTesting and IntegrationTesting.
  \n\t\t\t
6. \n\t\t\t\tContact.txt file with names of all team members and their contact information.
7. \n\t\t\t\t
  \n\t\t\t\t\tIf you implemented bonus features, then include code and tests for extra features in a sub-directory bonus as follows:
  \n\t\t\t\t
  - \n\t\t\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIf your source code of SPA with additional features is different from the basic SPA, then put source files in a sub-directory called source.
    \n\t\t\t\t\t
  - \n\t\t\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tReadme.txt file with instructions on how to compile and run your SPA, and any other information we may need in order to test your SPA, with test cases provided by you and our own test cases.
    \n\t\t\t\t\t
  - \n\t\t\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFile with SIMPLE source code named feature_name_source.txt to run your SPA with your test cases.
    \n\t\t\t\t\t
  - \n\t\t\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFile(s) with test cases named feature_name_testcases.txt.
    \n\t\t\t\t\t
  \n\t\t\t
\n\t
\n\t\t
\n\t\t\tSub-directory called Tests<XX> containg THREE test cases (source code) for each type of query condition (relationship) and TEN tests for various combinations of query conditions (ten is the total number of tests cases required here, not ten tests for each combination of conditions). These tests should be written in AutoTester format.
\n\t

\n\t
\n\tImportant notes:

\n\t\t
\n\t\t\tWe use AutoTester to test your submission. Ensure that your code is integrated and works correctly with AutoTester (see http://www.comp.nus.edu.sg/~cs3201/Tools-Lab/AutoTester.html for documentation).
\n\t
\n\t\t
\n\t\t\tWe will test your implementation with a set of SIMPLE source codes and PQL queries. Failed test-cases will be discussed after presentation.
\n\t
\n\t\t
\n\t\t\tPlease use the sample SIMPLE code on IVLE Workbin -> Tools to verify the your parser will be able to parse our test cases. Also, note that the source code and queries are case-sensitive, so check that your SPA accepts and computes results according to correct casing (see AutoTester examples). In case we cannot compile your code or run SPA at all, we will contact you so that you can fix the problem. For that, please do not forget to include your contact information (see above) and be available after submission.
\n\t
\n\t\t
\n\t\t\tIf the SPA does not return an answer for a PQL query after 5,000ms, we assume an 'infinite loop' situation and the test-case is considered failed.
\n\t
\n\t\t
\n\t\t\tWe evaluate your code organization and the match between your implementation and the abstract API calls described in the report.

\n\tEach team will have a 40-minute slot:

\n\t

\n\t\t\tPresentation: 15 minutes
\n\t\t\tQ & A: 10 minutes
\n\t\t\tDiscussion of failed cases: 15 minutes
\n\t\t\tTeams have to attend only their slot. All members must attend.

\n\t

\n\t\tWhat to cover during the presentation:

\n\t

\n\t\t\tDid you implement all the required functionalities? Which functions are not implemented? Any additional features implemented?
\n\t\t\tWhich bonus features did you implement?
\n\t\t\tAny achievements that you feel are important and that make your project special. Any solutions or approach that you think is unique and / or beneficial.
\n\t\t\tIllustrate your points with examples.
\n\t\t\tDo NOT present things we already know from the Project Handbook (e.g., what is SPA). You do not need to explain the design of each component such as parser, AST, etc. unless there is something special you want to tell us.

\n\t

\n\t\tBasically, you will want to make use of this time to sell your SPA and convince us that your hard work this semester deserves a good grade. Therefore, concentrate mainly on your achievements and those special features of your SPA.

\n\t

\n\t\tGood luck in final weeks of the project and in presentations.

\n\tStudents and visitors to this web site: You can quickly find out about the approach taken in this project course, and about experiences teaching it in this paper "Teaching an Advanced Design, Team-oriented Software Project Course", published at the 18th Conf. on Software Engineering Education and Training.

\n\t

\n\tCS3202 is the second in the two-course series that spreads over two terms, in which students work on the software engineering project. CS3202 is a continuation of CS3201. CS3201 and CS3202 focus on applying proven software engineering principles in practice. In CS3201, students work on requirements analysis, architecture and do extended prototyping. In CS3202, more emphasis is placed on iterative development whereby in each iteration requirements and architecture are further refined; students analyze and justify design decisions in conformance to high-level architecture, and develop close to production-quality code.

\n\t

\n\tCS3201/CS3202 replaced the former CS3215 that was offered in a single term and was worth 8 modular credits. CS3201 and CS3202 are worth 4 modular credits each.

\n\tThe main thrust and teaching methodology for CS3201/CS3202 is similar to that of CS3215: We focus on applying proven software engineering principles in practice. However, a two-course formula allows us to look deeper into software architecture issues, and do team work with elements of individual assessment during requirements analysis and architecture design.

\n\t

\n\tIn CS3201/CS3202, students work through the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) to complete a team project.

\n\t

\n\tThe essence of this course is advanced software design in action. Students learn to apply design principles and “best development practices” in a team project. Architectural design, design specifications and evaluation of alternative design solutions that lead to quality code are emphasized throughout the course. The problem students work on is carefully selected to demonstrate application of design principles. The size of the problem and iterative development style makes it difficult to succeed in the project without applying principled and systematic approach to design, documentation, development and testing.

\n\t

\n\tSpecific objectives are:

\n\t

\n\t\tDevelop the attitudes and abilities necessary to work effectively in a team,
\n\t\tPrepare students for industry projects,

\n\tIn CS3202, students go through the iterative development in teams of six. There are four development iterations, described in four assignments. At the end of the third iteration, students implement SPA as described in the project Handbook. In the fourth iteration, students can implement extensions for bonus points.

\n\t

\n\tThe course involves lectures, consultations, a test, and a project. Each project team (of six students) is allocated time to meet with a supervisor in weekly consultations.

\n\t

\n\tStudents present their work at the end of the course and their programs are tested for reliability with automated testing tool.

\n\tGrading Policy

\n\t\t(individual, penalty/bonus): The ability to work in a team
\n\t\t(individual, penalty/bonus): Attendance and participation in Consultations
\n\t\t(individual, 10%): Test
\n\t\t(group, 10%): 3 assignments of equal weight; iterative development of the basic SPA
\n\t\t(group, 65%): Basic SPA, design decisions, code quality (results of auto-testing), documentation and presentation
\n\t\t(group, 15%): Extensions defined in the 4th assignment, as well as any other extensions.

\n\tCS3201/CS3202 is a team project and is evaluated as such. Different students may contribute in different ways, according to their skills, abilities and project plans set by the whole team. We expect all students to put in a similar effort towards completing the project.

\n\t

\n\tAll the students in a team share equal responsibility for creating team spirit, and making the team work as a whole. Should a problem arise, each student must be willing to work towards resolving the problem. If problems cannot be resolved within a team, do ask your supervisor for mediation -- in the past almost all problems could be helped if addressed early. Each student should deliver work products according to the project plans set by the whole team.

\n\t

\n\tCases of students who fail to become productive team members will be considered by supervisors. If such students do not put in additional effort to rectify the problem, grades the respective student(s) may be reduced (including failing the course, in drastic situations).

\n\t

\n\tThe first 3 assignments will be given full mark, 1/2 mark or 0 based on the following criteria (assuming you submit assignment on time):

\n\t\tfull mark - if you submit a reasonable assignment solution; you will not be punished for errors or if your work does not fully cover the scope of the assignment, provided this is not due to negligence; if you get on track later, you still stand a chance to get the highest grade at the end.
\n\t\t1/2 mark - if your work is at the very low end of being reasonable with respect to what was expected.
\n\t\t0 mark - if your work is not reasonable with respect to what was expected, or if you got 1/2 mark in the last assignment and you did not put enough effort to improve.

\n\tFor the final project:

\n\t\tWe expect at least:\n\t\t
- \n\t\t\t\timplementation of the basic SPA (first three assignments)
- \n\t\t\t\timportant design decisions evaluated and justified
- \n\t\t\t\treliability: programs must pass our test benchmark
- \n\t\t\t\thigh quality of report and presentation
\n\t
\n\t\tStudents aiming for an A or A+ grade should:\n\t\t
- \n\t\t\t\timplement some of the extensions described in assignment 4 and/or other extensions
- \n\t\t\t\tdemonstrate flexibility and reusability of SPA design and code
- \n\t\t\t\tdemonstrate some degree of innovation in terms of PQL features, design solutions, query evaluation strategy, or in other areas
- \n\t\t\t\tdemonstrate maturity of skills in areas of team work, design, incremental development, approach to testing etc.
\n\t
\n\t\tWe take into account all the above factors, not only functionality implemented, in the evaluation of project achievements and in grading the project.

\n\tProject Evaluation Criteria

\n\t

\n\tRead more in Sections 3 and 8 in the Handbook.

\n\t\tTeam-work: The ability to work in a team.
\n\t\tQuality of architectural and detailed design decisions: Evaluation and selection of design decisions. What matters is not only the design decision itself, but also the process of arriving on design decisions, how you evaluate and argue about design choices, and clarity of documenting design decisions.
\n\t\tReliability of SPA code: conformance of SPA code to requirement specifications (checked during auto-testing of your SPA at the end of the course).
\n\t\tQuality of SPA code: Implementation strategies; Readability of code; Coding standards and practices; Conformance of implementation to architectural decisions (abstract APIs and information hiding).
\n\t\tDemonstrated maintainability, flexibility (“design for change”), reusability and scalability of design and code.
\n\t\tQuality of project report.
\n\t\tQuality of project presentation (during project evaluation in recess week).

\n\t

\n\tPolicy on Project Work

\n\t

\n\t\tYou are permitted to discuss the project with anyone.
\n\t\tSolutions you hand in should be your own work -- coding and documentation should be the work of your team only!
\n\t\tYou may not view any code and document written for CS3201/CS3202 and CS3215 in the past.
\n\t\tYou may not reveal your code and document to any students not in your team.
\n\t\tAny case of academic misconduct will be prosecuted to the fullest extent provided for by University regulations.

\n\tFinal Project Requirements

\n\t\tYour report should comply with the Project Report Format given in Assignment 4.
\n\t\tAvoid repeating material contained in the Project Handbook; instead, such material can be referenced. We recommend that you use a 12pt single spacing font. It is important to make your report clear and readable. Make it as concise as possible, but also complete. In any case, do not exceed 70 pages (INCLUDING appendices). In fact, your report may be much shorter than 70 pages if you plan well what you want to say in the report. Use good examples to illustrate your design.
\n\t\tEmphasize in the report whatever you think is a strong point in your project that may affect your grade (e.g., good design solutions or extra features you implemented). Be brief about things that we already know well.

\n\tIVLE Submission

\n\tHow to submit:

\n\tAs we only use the source code from your submission archive for testing, please ensure that you have included all required files. In the folder called Team<XX>, include the following:

\n\t\t
\n\t\t\tFile Team<XX>.pdf cotaining the final report.
\n\t
\n\t\t
\n\t\t\tSub-directory called Code<XX> containing (at least):
\n\t\t
1. \n\t\t\t\t
  \n\t\t\t\t\tSource code of SPA. Put source files in a sub-directory called source.
  \n\t\t\t
2. \n\t\t\t\t
  \n\t\t\t\t\tSolution file (.sln) for Visual Studio 2010 (and additional project files). The solution should build without errors in "Release" configuration.
  \n\t\t\t
3. \n\t\t\t\t
  \n\t\t\t\t\tReadme.txt file with instructions on how to compile and run the auto-tester on your SPA, AND the name of your solution that has to be built and the path to the executable produced.
  \n\t\t\t\t\tDo ensure that the solution files from your submission builds and produces the correct executable.
  \n\t\t\t
4. \n\t\t\t\t
  \n\t\t\t\t\tThe files you used to compile and run your auto-tester (mainly your TestWrapper class). Put them in a sub-directory called AutoTester.
  \n\t\t\t
5. \n\t\t\t\t
  \n\t\t\t\t\tTest programs (projects) you used for testing your SPA (unit and integration). For example, your cppunit test files and/or any test files you developed for your own testing. Put them in sub-directories called UnitTesting and IntegrationTesting.
  \n\t\t\t
6. \n\t\t\t\tContact.txt file with names of all team members and their contact information.
7. \n\t\t\t\t
  \n\t\t\t\t\tIf you implemented bonus extensions (Assignment 4 or other notable features), then include code and tests for extra features in a sub-directory bonus as follows:
  \n\t\t\t\t
  - \n\t\t\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIf your source code of SPA with additional features is different from the basic SPA, then put source files in a sub-directory called source.
    \n\t\t\t\t\t
  - \n\t\t\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tReadme.txt file with instructions on how to compile and run your SPA, and any other information we may need in order to test your SPA, with test cases provided by you and our own test cases.
    \n\t\t\t\t\t
  - \n\t\t\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFile with SIMPLE source code named feature_name_source.txt to run your SPA with your test cases.
    \n\t\t\t\t\t
  - \n\t\t\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFile(s) with test cases named feature_name_testcases.txt.
    \n\t\t\t\t\t
  \n\t\t\t
\n\t
\n\t\t
\n\t\t\tSub-directory called Tests<XX> containg THREE test cases (source code) for each type of query condition (relationship) and TEN tests for various combinations of query conditions (ten is the total number of tests cases required here, not ten tests for each combination of conditions). These tests should be written in AutoTester format.
\n\t

\n\t
\n\tImportant notes:

\n\t\t
\n\t\t\tWe use AutoTester to test your submission. Ensure that your code is integrated and works correctly with AutoTester (see Workbin->Tools->AutoTester for documentation).
\n\t
\n\t\t
\n\t\t\tWe will test your implementation with a set of SIMPLE source codes and PQL queries. Failed test-cases will be discussed after presentation.
\n\t
\n\t\t
\n\t\t\tPlease use the sample SIMPLE code on IVLE Workbin -> Tools to verify the your parser will be able to parse our test cases. Also, note that the source code and queries are case-sensitive, so check that your SPA accepts and computes results according to correct casing (see AutoTester examples). In case we cannot compile your code or run SPA at all, we will contact you so that you can fix the problem. For that, please do not forget to include your contact information (see above) and be available after submission.
\n\t
\n\t\t
\n\t\t\tIf the SPA does not return an answer for a PQL query after 5,000ms, we assume an 'infinite loop' situation and the test-case is considered failed.
\n\t
\n\t\t
\n\t\t\tWe evaluate your code organization and the match between your implementation and the abstract API calls described in the report.

\n\t

\n\t\tSPA implementations submitted by students will be tested using the AutoTester. Teams should ensure that their submissions work with Autotester without any failures. Usage information and download files of Autotester can be found here: http://www.comp.nus.edu.sg/~cs3201/Tools-Lab/AutoTester.html.

\n\t
\n\tAutomatic Project Testing
\n\t
\n\tThe Automatic Project Testing offers a start-up point for your project development and testing. You may use the sample Visual Studio 2010 solution as an example on how to structure your code and testing files. Also, this solution can be used as the base to start the project that can be modified according to your need. In the final states of the development, the sample script can be used to automatically run the complete set of tests.
\n\t
\n\tYou should either use this sample or the AutoTester. This sample solution already contains the AutoTester library, so you do not need to download the AutoTester package from the website. However, you need to read the documentation about the AutoTester to be able to integrate your code with the AutoTester.

In this module, students will learn to create Internet applications\r\non the latest social networking platforms. For this semester, the\r\ntarget platform is Facebook. It is conceivable that new platforms like Google OpenSocial might be adopted in future semesters.

\r\n

Students\r\nare expected to work independently in small, interdisciplinary teams to\r\ndesign, develop, and deploy new applications. Students will also have\r\nthe opportunity to explore the latest Internet programming APIs and\r\nopen-source tools. This experiential programming module involves\r\nextensive hands-on learning in small team projects.

\r\n

Students will also work together in small teams to study and critique existing Facebook applications.\r\n The teams will then present their findings to their classmates during weekly seminars in the\r\n middle of the course.

\r\nAims & Objectives
\r\n
\r\nBefore software can be designed, its requirements must be well understood. This in turns requires a thorough understanding of the application domain. In developing domain descriptions and requirement specifications, we need to acquire and analyse domain knowledge and system requirements, transform them into domain and requirement models, and validate these models together with domain and requirement stakeholders. Once the domain and requirement descriptions are clear, a software design can be constructed to capture software architecture and components. This course will cover the principles and techniques of these three major phases of software engineering: Domain Engineering, Requirements Engineering and Software Design.

This course is meant for students who intend to (i) do research in computer science in general, and algorithm design in particular, or (ii) do advanced application/software development in other areas of computer science. (It assumes that the student has already done one course on design and analysis of algorithms equivalent to CS3230.)
\n
\nThis course focuses on algorithms for solving combinatorial optimization problems. These types of problems are ubiquitous, with applications in a multitude of domains. They are used by companies to manage supply chains, retail chains to decide where and when to open new stores, and ports to manage incoming and outgoing cargo containers. In this course, we will cover a variety of powerful techniques for solving these types of problems.

\n
\nThis semester, SC3224 students share the same syllabus as this module for reasons explained below. It is optional for you to attend the SC3224 Theory and Practice in Cultural Studies seminar on Wednesdays 2-5pm, at AS4-0119 -- my advice is that you attend sessions you are particularly interested in. However, there is work to do for the SC3224 seminar whether you attend it or not. We will meet on Thursdays at 9am, at AS3-0207 for graduate discussion.
\n
\nAssessment. This is a 100 per cent CA module; there will not be a final examination. There are two assessment components: (a) weekly responses and class participation, (b) weekly graduate discussion, and (c) final paper.
\n
\nA. The weekly responses and class participation make up 30 per cent of the grade. You are required to write a two-paragraph response to both readings marked "^" from Week 2 to Week 11 in reference to the primary reading marked "*". The responses must be posted on the SC3224 IVLE Forum by the night before the SC3224 seminar. I will use these responses for class discussion. There are 10 responses to be written and each post on the Forum is worth 1 point. If your response is used for class discussion, you will get another 1 point for that response. The maximum you can get for the responses is 20 points. The other 10 points will be given for class participation, but do note, if you do not engage and respond to the readings you will not be able to participate.
\n
\nB. The weekly graduate discussion makes up 30 per cent of the grade. You are required to choose a cultural studies article related to the topic and upload it to the CSA6101 IVLE Workbin. You are then required to write a two-paragraph response to your selected reading in reference to the three readings each week from Week 2 to Week 11. The response must be posted on the CSA6101 IVLE Forum at the same time as you post your response to the readings on the SC3224 Forum. We will discuss these responses on Thursday mornings.
\n
\nC. The final essay makes up 40 per cent of the grade. You are required to write an empirically grounded analytical paper of not longer than 3,000 words. You are required to write a 200-word abstract for posting on the CSA6101 IVLE Forum by the night before the Week 12 seminar. Be prepared to present your paper ideas for discussion at the Weeks 12-13 seminars.

How did urban planning arise as a professional, intellectual and political activity? What are the assumptions and values attached to various planning paradigms? How can planners study and intervene into the city, and to what ends? These questions have been posed since the 19^th century, and we foresee new and old challenges in the future.
\r\n
\r\nIn designing this course, I have three pedagogical objectives: 1. Challenge you to think more critically about urbanization and planning paradigms; 2. Contribute to your awareness of the politics of planning in Singapore and around the world; and 3. Expand your career options when you graduate and enter the workforce as a professional.

Seminar activities vary from week to week. Some weeks, we do reading discussions, other weeks we do simulations and watch movies. This adds variety to the course and trains different aspects of our intellectual and social faculties. Weekly activities are detailed in the Syllabus.
\r\n
\r\nThis is a reading-intensive course. Every week, there will be one or more readings with a total of not more than 50 pages, some weeks more than others. You will be trained to read effectively and critically during seminar sessions. You should realize that you will only learn as much as you follow the readings, as the lectures are more general and do not necessarily deal directly with the specific texts. I hope that you will persevere and learn to appreciate the value of this training – something that will benefit you for the rest of your professional life.

\r\n

\r\n\t\tReading responses (30%)

\r\n
\r\nYou will submit reading responses where you reflect on and analyze the readings of the week. This is NOT a summary. In your responses, you may refer to one single reading, or compare two or more readings. Respond to them critically - think about the context in which they are written, the methodologies they use, the assumptions they make, and the questions they try to answer. What is the author trying to do? Is he successful? Are you convinced? What are the empirical materials he is using to theorize the city/planning? You may also refer to your own research/experience in today's context, and ask if the arguments in the readings are still relevant, what we can learn from them, and what you disagree with.
\r\n
\r\nEach reading response should be concise, and not be longer than one side of an A4 sheet (font size 11, Times New Roman, single spacing). You may choose to submit a reading response every week, or less. I will pick the best 6 reading responses that you submit over the entire course and combine them to give you a final score. This is designed to reward those who improve over time and those who persevere. It also means that you should at the very least submit 6 reading responses over the entire course.
\r\n
\r\nAll reading responses for that week are to be submitted by Thursday 10:00pm in the IVLE folder titled “Student Submissions”. Please name your files “Week #NAME”.
\r\n
\r\n

\r\n\t\tPhoto-essay (20%)

\r\n
\r\nOn Week 9, we will visit Marina Bay. You will have the chance to explore the Bay on your own and produce a photo-essay. The photo-essay is a narrative composed mainly of photographs and very few words. Specific instructions will be given closer to the date.
\r\n
\r\nSubmission of this simple exercise will be on 25 Oct, Friday.
\r\n
\r\n

\r\n\t\tResearch paper (50%)

\r\n
\r\nOn Week 14, you will submit a 3000 word essay on a topic of your choice. At various points of the course, you will be guided towards formulating a research question, understanding how to use the library and working towards a first draft. You should think about what you want to write about as early as possible and work consistently towards gathering information and resources that will be useful for you. Use the course readings to help you, since you will be reading them anyway. Ask yourself what you are curious about and use this course as an opportunity to find out.
\r\n
\r\nTo start this process, the first thing you need to do is to attend the library’s “Hands-on Library Training Sessions” for honors and graduate students. The dates are 1,2,5,6,12-16 August at the Central Library Training Room, 11am-1230pm. No registration is required. Choose one date and just appear. There are limited spots and attendance is by a first come first serve basis.
\r\n
\r\n

\r\n\t\tAttendance

\r\n
\r\nThere is no score given to attendance and class participation. However, if you miss more than 2 classes without a valid excuse, you will not be able to continue the course.

\nBACKGROUND AND INTRODUCTION TO THE COURSE
\n
\nThomas Davenport, in his article titled “Competing on Analytics” in Harvard Business Review, 2006, and subsequently in his book with the same title has focussed on the emerging role of Analytics as a competitive edge.
\nThe traditional competitive advantage bases are being replaced by analytics as a competitive tool to make better decision and extract more profits.
\nAnalytics is driven by the use of sophisticated quantitative and statistical analysis, predictive modelling . This coupled with seniors leaders in organization who are data-savvy and organizations with powerful information technology tools can address Data Analytics as its competitive weapon as did . Net flix, Marriott’s, Boston Red Sox, Capital One , Amazon to name a few.
\nThe focus of this course is to build the basic competence in Business Statistics which is the forerunner of building analytics capabilities.

They were masters of data analytics.
\n
\nIn today’s world, a grandmother, a dictionary, a telephone directory - are all replaced by a search engines like Google. The search engines rule the world and are used to get answer to any question. When I wanted to know more about Booker prize and queried in a search engine , obtained a staggering 1,180,000 Results! We are facing an entirely new scenario- instead of dearth of data, we have too much of data. Thus today, it is a world where one is flooded with choices, whether it is data through Google, milk in a super market shelf or course options in a university , review of a movie ...........
\n
\nThis has led to an entirely new form of competing in business as well as a key tool for business decision making –competing based on extensive and meaningful use of Data Analytics. The analytics knowledge can be used as a tool to tackle a whole range of business problems - it may be how to price a product, which market should a product be launched, what storage capacity to build for storing food grains, where to invest money fromplethora of operations ……

This is followed by an initiation into the concepts of classical probability, paving the way for the important topics of random variables and probability distributions. Next, the core ideas of classical statistical inference are introduced - including sampling distributions, point and interval estimation, hypothesis testing and analysis of variance.

It is designed to equip students with the standard tools and techniques to analyze microeconomic issues and to prepare them to access higher level modules that utilize microeconomic analysis. \n\n\n\nThe module begins with a review of several foundation topics on consumer and producer theory covered in the prerequisite course, i.e. EC2101. It then moves on to discuss the general equilibrium model, whereby consumers and producers are put together in a general equilibrium framework. After that, it covers choice over time, i.e. inter-temporal choice and choices over different states of the world, i.e. choices under uncertainty. It then continues with game theory. This topic will be discussed extensively. Coverage will include various solution concepts for one-shot games and sequential move games. Applications of the theory on the issues of oligopolistic competition, entry and entry prevention, and network economics will receive a great deal of attention. Finally, the module ends with the asymmetric information, i.e. moral hazard and adverse selection and its application on the internal organisation of the firm. Throughout the course, empirical observations and real-life cases pertaining to the issues discussed in this module are presented. \n\n","Order":1},{"ID":"2e5f053b-8835-4692-be49-41f07234cfff","Title":"Prerequisites (What should I know?)","Description":"EC2101/EC2151","Order":2},{"ID":"127efb3f-7a0d-4d47-a25f-8e72cc50619a","Title":"Preclusions","Description":"EC2121, EC3201, EC3151","Order":9},{"ID":"3e3a6721-28ee-4dd1-b12f-e2bea345a0bf","Title":"Workload","Description":"2-1-0-2-5

\nThe aim of the course is to develop familiarity with a wide range of statistical and econometric techniques that have proved to be useful in applied contexts. Theoretical results will be developed as necessary and in order to allow students to apply general principles to their own research problems. Primary emphasis, however, is placed upon applicability, on the ability to understand the techniques in use in the literature, and on acquiring a minimal acquaintance with econometric computing. The material discussed is a reasonable definition of the minimum that a well-trained undergraduate student should know. For those of you who are primarily interested in econometric theory, the course should give you some idea of the way in which economists attempt to confront theory and evidence.
\n
\nThis module is aimed at consolidating what was covered in Econometrics I and II and provide a reasonable training in econometric theory and sound empirical analyses. In addition the module will cover non-linear models, time series econometrics (including cointegration and error correction models), simultaneous equations models and more on other topics such as microeconometrics. The module will be highly useful for honours theses that deal with applied problems.

The course introduces the New Keynesian Model (NKM) and its recent extensions, familiarises students with monetary policy analysis using this framework, and discusses empirical evidence and puzzles. Open economy aspects will be highlighted whenever suitable. For students to learn how the concepts of modern monetary theory are applied in central banks, students will analyse a specific historical episode of monetary policy-making in depth using material issued by central banks, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) or the Bank for International Settlement (BIS). The textbook closest to the material covered in this course is Jordi Gali Monetary Policy, Inflation, and the Business Cycle: An Introduction to the New Keynesian Framework. \nIn addition to introducing a variety of economic concepts, students are also expected to learn new mathematical concepts: dynamic optimisation, linearising nonlinear dynamic models, solving dynamic linear systems of equations, conducting stability analysis of systems of difference equations, eigenvalue and eigenvector decomposition, etc. To get the most out of this course, students need to follow the extensive use of algebra in the first part of the course. Students who want to refresh their understanding of the core mathematical concepts may find the textbook Fundamental Methods of Mathematical Economics by Alpha C. Chiang or any comparable text helpful.

Topics include welfare economics, the evaluation of public expenditures, and taxation. In addition to studying the theoretical foundations of Public Economics, we will also integrate institutional background and empirical evidence into discussions of public policy issues including education, healthcare, social welfare programs, and pension plans. We will strive to understand the economic principles that determine optimal government intervention in market economies, and to apply those principles to current policy debates.

\nClass participation and preparedness (15%)
\nClass discussion is an integral part of the learning process. In the real world, what matters is not what you know, but what you can do with what you know, and how well you can communicate that. I hope that by the end of the semester, you will have made strides in:
\n

\n\t\tArticulating your ideas
\n\t\tJustifying your arguments with facts, statistics, or examples
\n\t\tReevaluating your opinion when faced with counter arguments or new evidence

\nAttendance is NOT equivalent to participation. A student who attends all seminars but fails to articulate a single idea will earn zero points.
\nI am not obliged to give credit for off-topic rambling, or questions that spring from ignorance of the assigned readings. While I do not expect you to understand everything you have read, I do expect you to complete the assigned readings before class.
\nI do not expect you to always have the right answer. In fact, in many cases, there may be no such thing as a right answer. It is perfectly normal to have a difference of opinions, and I look forward to a healthy exchange of ideas with all of you.
\n
\nAll assignments are due at the beginning of lecture, unless otherwise stated. Late submissions will not be accepted.
\n
\nProblem sets (10%)
\nProblem sets are designed to evaluate your understanding of the material, and will be indicative of the types of questions you may encounter on the final exam.
\nYou will be assigned to groups of 3-4 students, and will submit your problem set as a group. Please ensure that your answers are organized and legible.
\nI suggest that you tackle the problem set on your own, before discussing the answers with your group. Free-riding may be beneficial in the short run, but will most certainly be detrimental in the long run.
\n
\nShort essays (5%)
\nYou are required to submit two short essays throughout the semester. These essays are designed to develop your critical thinking and writing skills.

\n\t\t\t\tCourse Description
\n\t\t\t\tBehavioral economics stresses the need to incorporate psychology into economic thinking, going beyond the classical model of the economic being to whom neither the other's well being nor the way consequences arise matter.
\n\t\t\t\tTopics include: (1) decision making under uncertainty (loss aversion, probability weighting, probabilistic judgment); (2) decision making across time (self-control, timing preference), (3) Other-regarding preference (altruism, reciprocity); (4) Strategic thinking (step thinking, theory of mind). Evidence from finance, saving behavior, labor market and other areas will be used to show how behavioral economics can be fruitfully applied to yield important insights into behavior under different market settings.
\n\t\t\t\tOverall, this course aims to help you develop an understanding (1) how incorporating psychological thinking could help explain economic behavior, (2) how advances in the behavioral economics can be applied to business settings.

\n\t\t\t\tGroup Presentations
\n\t\t\t\tEach group is required to present 2 papers. Each Presentation is 15 minutes and 5 minutes of Q&A. The presentation should contain two parts:
\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\tSummary of readings: \n\t\t\t\t\t\t
- \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWhat is the specific research question? What is the economic question?
- \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe state of the field up to the point of the paper, both theoretical and empirical (usually contained in the paper’s literature review)
- \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe important new findings/models of the paper itself
\n\t\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\tDiscussion: \n\t\t\t\t\t\t
- \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tBroader economic questions: What have we learned? How far are we from the broader goals stated in the introduction of the papers? What is needed to make further progress?
- \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tQuestions specific to the papers: What was good about the paper? What could you do to improve/extend the studies? Issues that interest you (this is your mini research-proposal)?
\n\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\tGroup project
\n\t\t\t\tYou are required to write a group project. Since behavioral economics emphasizes on the interplay between theory and experiments/empirical observations, your project could be about theory, or about experiment, or both. You do not have to develop the full results/models. You can just present your idea with details.
\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\tIf your project is about theory, you shall have some NEW theory to explain the phenomena in our class. You can just discuss some basic ideas and set up of your model. Of course, it would be good if you have some analytical results to share.
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t If your project is about experiment, you shall have some NEW experiment to test the theory in our class. You can talk about your hypothesis, experimental design, and statistical tests to be used. Of course, it would be good if you have some data to share.

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\tYour group project report should contain two parts:
\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\tLiterature review: \n\t\t\t\t\t\t
- \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWhat is the specific research question in your mind?
- \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe state of the field up to the point, both theoretical and empirical.
\n\t\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\tYour contribution: \n\t\t\t\t\t\t
- \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDescribe in detail what you want to do
- \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tProvide specific hypotheses
- \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDiscuss what is needed for the implementation of your idea
- \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tPossible some data and specific results for experiments; and some analytical results for theory.
\n\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\tTutorial Participation
\n\t\t\t\tYou are required to ask 3 questions for the 10 tutorial sections in total to get 10 points. This is to encourage you to be active during the tutorial.
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\tFinal Exam
\n\t\t\t\tThe final exam will be balanced between theory and evidence. A sample exam from last year is posted.

We then proceed to discrete-time dynamic optimization techniques, and their applications to the theory of consumption. Other topics include General Equilibrium Foundations and the Two Welfare Theorems, Competitive and Recursive Competitive Equilibrium in Dynamic Models, the Overlapping Generations Model, Models with Complete and Incomplete Markets and Risk Sharing, and basic Real Business Cycle and New Keynesian Models.

Some basic theory will be covered, but theory will mostly serve as motivation for the empirical models that we review. Despite bearing the term “advanced” in its title, this course is designed to be accessible to those graduate students who are not familiar with empirical microeconomics research, let alone structural modeling and estimation in industrial organization. We will emphasize the “economics” in structural modeling, rather than the econometric and computational technique. That said, particular problem sets will involve some accessible code writing (in Matlab) and estimation with synthetic and real data, using both the general method of moments and maximum likelihood. The instructors will prepare the class before problems are set, and will go over solutions and code in class. Code-writing examples include demand and supply estimation, production-function estimation, entry models, as well as single-agent dynamic models. EC6322 should help improve students’ understanding of empirical research in general and particularly in regards to understanding the advantages and disadvantages of structural modeling (modeling based on theoretical models or first principles) versus reduced-form analysis (regression models). Students who wish to pursue further coursework in empirical industrial organization will be referred to other courses available at NUS, such as “Dynamic Structural Models in Marketing and Economics” and “Marketing Models.”","Order":1},{"ID":"3e5f053b-8835-4692-be49-41f07234cfff","Title":"Teaching Modes","Description":"A 3-hour lecture per week (discussion of problem sets will be included within the lecture time).

The emphasis will be laid on recent advances in the theories about long-term growth and short-term business cycle, and in the related empirical and policy debates. The growth theory includes neoclassical growth models (particularly the Ramsey and overlapping-generations models), and various endogenous growth models with knowledge spillovers, human capital and R&D investment. We also consider income distribution, convergence, income ranking, and population ageing in the growth models. The business cycle theory includes the real-business cycle model and various New Keynesian models. The policy issues include national debt, social security, and monetary policies. It helps students understand the frontier debates in macroeconomics.","Order":1},{"ID":"0cd90697-a42d-4b0c-92a9-342d384b3722","Title":"Preclusions","Description":"EC5152, EC5102A","Order":9},{"ID":"78de4e83-5e7f-48ba-a94e-50f0ca3e1224","Title":"Workload","Description":"2-1-0-2-5

\n\t\tPART II (Computer Vision literature)

\n\t

\n\t\t

\n\t

\n\t\tPresenters to note: Many papers selected below are in turn built upon very recent techniques. If these constituent components are important for understanding the paper proper, the presenters are expected to cover them as well (as a rule of thumb, “recent” means in the last 3 or 4 years). In some cases, these requisite components may not be very new, but are “new” to general computer vision readers (e.g. some esoteric mathematics), then you should also introduce them. Non-presenting students are also expected to browse through these background readings. E.g. in topics 8 below, these background components would be poselet, poselet activation vector, structured learning, structural SVM.

\n\t

\n\t\t

\n\t

\n\t\tSelf-reading for Part II in General:

\nCourse Description
\n
\nThis module will cover selected poetic and prose writings from the Victorian period, an age that witnessed the nineteenth century’s most historically important developments. Throughout the course of the semester, we will explore the range of authors and the dominant literary genres of the Victorian era, including the novel, poetry, and the essay, and we will come to understand major shifts in literary writing within their political and cultural contexts. Along the way, we will examine changing social attitudes toward gender and sexuality as expressed through the literature of the period, the impact of major historical transformations (such as industrialization and imperialism) on literary themes, and the relationship between literature and the visual arts.

\nGrade Breakdown:
\nAttendance and Participation: 20%
\nTutorial Presentation: 10%
\nShorter Paper (approx. 1200 words, due September 30): 30%
\nLonger Paper (approx. 1500 words, due November 25): 40%
\n
\n1. Essays (70%): You will write two papers during the course of the quarter: one to be submitted electronically by 5 p.m. on Monday, September 30, and one to be submitted electronically by 5 p.m. on Monday, November 25. Paper topics will be distributed later in the semester.
\nThese essays must include a coherent argumentative thesis statement, cogent body paragraphs that include close readings of the text, and a conclusion. Your grade will depend on the intellectual content of your argument, the clarity of your writing style, and the quality of your literary analysis. Use MLA style for the format and citation of your papers, 12-point Times New Roman font, one-inch margins, and double-spaced. Your paper must be free of grammar and spelling errors.
\n2. Attendance and participation (20%): Regular attendance and active participation by all students is one of the most important components of a successful module. Every student is expected to contribute actively to every lecture and tutorial. Lack of participation, inability to pay attention during lecture and tutorial, repeated tardiness, or unexcused absences will severely hurt your attendance and participation grade. Come to lecture and tutorial on time, having read the material, ready to discuss it and ask questions about it.
\n3. Tutorial Presentation (10%): Each week before tutorial, I will post discussion questions on IVLE before class. For each tutorial, one or more students will be assigned one or two of these discussion questions, for which he or she will prepare a brief oral response. We will use these responses as the starting points for our discussions.
\nCourse Policies
\n
\nLate/Missed Assignments: I will not accept any late assignments unless you have a doctor’s note or a similar form of documentation that proves you are reasonably incapable of completing the assignment. If you do miss class, make sure to check with your classmates about any handouts, work, or information you may have missed.
\n
\nConsultation Hours: Please feel free to schedule an appointment with me to discuss your questions or concerns about the class, your progress, or anything else you might want to talk about. I am available for help, consultation, or discussion. Please e-mail me, and we’ll arrange time to meet. I am also available for virtual conferences online via Skype, Facetime, or Gchat. Please email me for more details.
\n
\nEmail: I will try my best to respond to all emails within twenty-four hours.
\n
\nPlagiarism: Plagiarism is defined as using another person’s language, ideas, or thoughts and representing them as your own. It is a serious offense and will be dealt with very severely. If you use someone else’s work without quoting or citing completely, you have committed plagiarism and will fail the assignment and/or the course, and possibly face worse consequences.
\n
\nFinal Words:
\n·      Finish the assigned reading before class.
\n·      Bring the assigned text to class on the day we are schedule to discuss it.
\n·      Take notes during lecture and tutorial. The ideas and arguments we discuss will help you perform the analysis you will do in your papers.
\n·      Feel free to send me an email, either to ask questions, or to arrange a meeting. I’m here as a resource for all of you.

\n
\nWhat you will be graded on:
\n
\n - your argument/argumentation - what your claim is, how you establish it, how persuasive you are, how you use evidence. Also taken into account will be your (implicit) ability to open up the question in both relevant and interesting ways.
\n- analysis of texts - the more nuanced, the better. I like close readings to support larger points, where possible, but I don't insist on it. It doesn't need to be my MY way of looking at things. If you can persuade me of something I didn't think of/didn't agree with, I'm quite prepared to change my mind.
\n- writing/English/style - this will count for something, but won't overset your marks dramatically if the rest is good.
\n- care - I do dislike sloppiness of presentation, formatting, footnoting, referencing, etc.
\n - secondary readings - these are not strictly necessary, meaning you will not be given MORE marks for using these, nor FEWER for not using these. If, however, you are making use of secondary readings, you will be judged on how well you use them - integration of material, usefulness of quotes, propriety in referencing, etc. So don't just quote for its own sake.
\n
\nThe x-factor - a bit of spark helps. It's possible to get an A with extreme competence and no spark, but spark is good. By 'spark' I both mean originality and something that shows through of interest, an investment in thinking through something.
\n
\nNo one will fault you for using stuff raised in lectures/tutorials, but obviously, those who only give your points back to you with no 'value added' as it were are going to be less interesting. I would rather hear what you have to say than what I have (supposedly) said.

\n\t\t\t\tThis module examines the poetics of information in post-industrial society. At its core lies the oeuvre of Thomas Pynchon, whose novels will be read as a critical meta-narrative of the informational turn in Western society since the 1960s. Besides obvious technological effects and the accelerated exchange it enables, how has the new, informational paradigm affected our psychology, everyday life and work; our understandings of place and community, of history and culture? Rather than placing Pynchon within a literary canon, seminars will be thematic studies, drawing on a wide range of critical theory, cultural history, and critiques of globalisation and technology.

It will address the following questions: What is the appeal of imaginative utopias and dystopias? What is the relation of these fictions to the world of contemporary reality? To alternative ways of conceiving life, experience, or reality? To traditional history? To alternative futures? To projections of, and apprehensions about human society? How does the imaginative construction of dystopias, in particular, address the constantly changing relation of science and technology to human life as we know it, to the human individual, to human society, and to the many institutions and notions, from gender and sexuality to race, family, nation, religion and species through which the relation of the individual to the group is mediated in time and place? Dystopian and Utopian fiction will be studied as imaginative constructions of extrapolations from current technology and science, or as possible worlds with alternative selves, life-forms, ecosystems, or histories.","Order":1},{"ID":"2e5f053b-8835-4692-be49-41f07234cfff","Title":"Prerequisites (What should I know?)","Description":"Completed 80 MCs including 28 MCs in English Literature, with a minimum CAP of 3.5 or be on the Honours track.","Order":2},{"ID":"4e5f053b-8835-4692-be49-41f07234cfff","Title":"Schedule","Description":"Week 1: Introduction

The module hopes to bring together current environmental and climate change issues as well as challenges; interrogate the options available in various ways: nature conservation, technological fixes, shifting consumption patterns, alternative energies, environmental education, changing public civic behavior, economic management policies and legal enforcements.
\r\n
\r\nThe learning outcomes are as follow: a) a historical overview and academic perspectives of environmental issues; b) the major ideas, definitions, concepts and theories of human-nature relationships that undergirds environmental studies; c) an understanding of the similarities and differences of human-nature ideas about the enviornment; d) the influence of human impacts on environment and ecosystems; and f) how best to synthesise and understand the complexity of systems, human activities and natural systems involved in environmental management. Through these different knowledge portals, the module hopes to inculcate in students analytical skills; critical thinking using comparative methods across time, space and cultures; and a holistic understanding of the cosmos, nature and environments as expressed in both science and the social sciences/humanities.","Order":1},{"ID":"2e5f053b-8835-4692-be49-41f07234cfff","Title":"Prerequisites (What should I know?)","Description":"For students in the Environmental Studies Programme.","Order":2},{"ID":"3e5f053b-8835-4692-be49-41f07234cfff","Title":"Teaching Modes","Description":"Lectures & tutorials","Order":3},{"ID":"4e5f053b-8835-4692-be49-41f07234cfff","Title":"Schedule","Description":" $\"\"$ ","Order":4},{"ID":"6e5f053b-8835-4692-be49-41f07234cfff","Title":"Syllabus","Description":"This module will feature a series of lectures by four academics from different backgrounds; connected by the common angle that environmental science and management is a multidisciplinary domain.

\r\nIntroductory Lecture
\r\nA one-off introductory lecture at the start of the semester will present an overview of the course and outline the course demands and expectations. Attendance for this lecture is compulsory.
\r\n
\r\nScreencast Lectures Through screencast lectures, key concepts, principles and strategies will be introduced to you. It is important that you watch all relevant screencasts to ensure that you are adequately prepared for tutorials.
\r\n
\r\nTutorials
\r\nYou will attend two tutorials each week, with each tutorial scheduled for two hours. You will be given opportunities to apply and practise principles and strategies to activities or tasks that have been specially designed for you before you begin your work on any assignment.
\r\n
\r\nTo benefit the most from these tutorials, please complete any preparatory work including reviewing relevant screencasts and recommended readings before you come to class. In addition, please take an active part in any class discussions. The more you are engaged, the more you will learn and the more interesting the tutorials will be for the entire class, yourself included.
\r\n
\r\nAn important part of learning on ES2007D involves self and peer evaluations. These will provide you with the opportunity to critically reflect on crucial aspects of the assigned tasks and receive useful feedback on your work while at the same time develop your ability to learn independently.
\r\n
\r\nTeacher-student conferences
\r\nIn teacher-student conferences, you get the opportunity to discuss your work with your teacher in smaller groups and discussions are therefore focussed to specifically address your needs and answer your queries.

\r\n\tES5001A is the intermediate level writing module of the Graduate English Course (GEC). The aim of this module is to further develop students’ language proficiency and academic writing skills. This module focuses on general writing skills, strategies to help you develop your productive vocabulary, and the general characteristics of academic writing. You will have the opportunity to explore the style of academic writing in your own discipline. Instruction and practice in writing academic texts will be provided. You will have to complete three writing and language development tasks – a data commentary, a research report (in two parts), and a group collocation collection project, which are designed to help you organize and present information to your intended audience and improve your use of the English language.

\r\n

\r\n\t\tAvoid scheduling trips and conference presentations during term time. Attendance and participation will affect your grade.
\r\n\t\tSubmit your marked assignments on time (data commentary, research report and group collocation project). Make sure that every submission represents the best you can do on your own.
\r\n\t\tAttend all classes on time, and participate actively in class discussions and small group writing tasks. To do this effectively, you need to finish the readings before each tutorial.
\r\n\t\tAsk for clarification about assignments, and/or ideas generated from class discussions whenever necessary. Your tutor will be happy to provide assistance.

\r\n
\r\n

\r\n\t\tInstead of using the tensile coupon test method, the students shall determine the Young’s moduli for two types of wooden sticks, using beam bending tests.
\r\n\t\tThe students shall then use the determined Young's moduli, to design for a 300mm tall wooden tower model carrying a mass of 600gm or more at its top. The tower must resist ground shaking motion of increasing intensity. The mass may be increased if more than one tower survives the maximum frequency and amplitude of vibration.

\r\n
\r\n**Students may introduce additional stability and/or damping to the tower. This is done by incorporating thick rubber bands and impact-absorbing elastomers (provided to them) onto their structure.
\r\n
\r\nESP2109 - Part 2
\r\nThe second part of this module will focus on a reaction, mass transfer and/or heat transfer problem and involve designing either transient or steady-state experiments/prototypes. The objectives range from for example determining the reaction order, rate constants, and mass/heat transfer coefficients to designing large-scale industrial equipment, where the latter is related to the small-scale prototypes/experiments. In both projects, students will be involved in making measurements, setting up model equations (differential equations), solving them analytically or numerically, and optimising the model fit to the experimental data.","Order":1},{"ID":"3e5f053b-8835-4692-be49-41f07234cfff","Title":"Teaching Modes","Description":"One Introductory Lecture during Week 0.

\n\tNo prior knowledge of Australia required. Essential to attend first class on Thursday August 15.
\n\t
\n\tThis freshman seminar will provide students with an opportunity to examine Australian Society and Culture through a study of literature, films, political structures, foreign policy, social movements, and popular music. Students will investigate what it means to be Australian and just what Australian culture might be.

\n\tLearning outcomes:
\n\tBy the end of the module, students will have a broad understanding of Australia. Students will be able to:

\n\t
\n\t\t1. Present an argument about how a society and culture are shaped through a range of phenomena.
\n\t\t2. Determine what assumed underlying knowledge of a society and culture (such as its political structures) is necessary in reading a novel or watching a film.
\n\t\t3. Undertake basic research to supplement their knowledge; that is determine what they need to know and find sources for that information.
\n\t\t4. Orally present analyses and materials, clearly and confidently, to groups of peers.
\n\t\t5. Construct a coherent argument in writing, pursing the themes of the module and considering more than one text.
\n\t\t6. Apply these capacities to representations of other kinds.

Thereafter students will be required to consider a text (a film, a novel, or other sources) one week and develop a set of questions about what they need to know to understand that text. These will involve issues of political structures, social mores, foreign policy, social movements, and Australian idiom.

\n
\n2. The Land and Home (LAU YEW WEI DAVID and LIOW KUANG JIE, Park)
\nHome ownership has long been described as “The Great Australian Dream” what is so Australian about home ownership and Australian homes? Does this stem from some special relationship with the land?

\n4. The Pub (QUEK ZHEN JING TERI, KOH KE WEI, Rachel, and SOMYA JAIN)
\nThe pub is often perceived as the great equaliser in Australian culture. Once a male haunt, which had "Ladies Saloons" and men only front bars, pubs increasingly since the 1970s have become shared spaces. Or have they?

\r\n
\r\n1) Thinking about Theming
\r\nWhat does theming mean in terms of culture and nature in the contemporary world? What role do movies and television have in shaping our expectations and experiences of culture and nature in the contemporary world?

\r\n
\r\nClass participation will count for 10% of the grade. Students are expected to keep up with readings and contribute to each week’s seminar. Students will be asked to present twice during the semester. In these presentations students will engage with the course literature, and formulate their own projects for further research.
\r\nA fieldtrip will be taken to a theme park, so that students can make observations, and do some field research that has been stimulated by ideas from the course readings. 4 short essay assignments will be given to help build the students to a larger project which will be based on the fieldtrip. These essays will include literature reviews, designing research questions and discussions of methodologies (formulating questions for surveys and interviews to be undertaken on the class field trip) and write ups of interview data and observations data from the field trip.
\r\nThese 4 short essays constitute 40% of the grade (10% each).
\r\n
\r\nThe final research project, which will bring together the students’ research both empirical and library, will constitute 30% of the grade.

New and emerging techniques in research have pushed\r\nforward our understanding of physiology, pharmacology and pathology, paving\r\nthe way for fundamental changes in diagnosis and treatment. As medical\r\nresearch has developed, it has also raised important questions for researchers,\r\nclinicians, legislators and the public. Important topics covered will include the\r\nprogress and pitfalls of the human genome project and how advances in\r\nbiochemistry have informed our understanding of human disease. The course\r\nwill also cover revolutionary advances in neuroscience, the cardiovascular and\r\nmetabolic system, and cancer, and how these have shaped our understanding\r\nof human disease. The transfer of information gathered in basic science\r\nresearch to the clinic will be examined, along with the impact this has had on\r\nsociety as a whole. Students will learn some of the basic scientific and clinical\r\nprinciples underlying these advances, and will examine how they are placed in\r\na medical, social, legal and ethical context.

\nDuke-NUS uses Team LEAD (Learn, Engage, Apply, Develop) as their educational structure, and we will adopt the same. Team LEAD is a form of collaborative learning that employs a sequence of individual work, group work, and class-wide discussion. It aims to go beyond simply covering content and instead focuses on giving students the opportunity to use course concepts to solve problems. One consequence is that the teacher shifts from being a “sage on the stage” to a “guide on the side”. Success therefore depends on students engaging in active learning.
\n
\nThe structure of a Team LEAD class is different from lecture classes and most seminar classes as well. Here is an outline of the structure of ensuing classes:
\nIndividual Readiness Assessment (10 minutes) – brief quiz on readings
\nGroup Readiness Assessment (10 minutes) – quiz taken again in groups
\nDiscussion and Debate (20 minutes) – cross-group discussion
\nSummary and Conclusions (5 minutes)
\nBreak
\nApplication Activities – These include presentations, scenario-based discussions, debates, and other group exercises.
\n
\nFor many of application activities, we will use Team LEAD “S” principles for effective group tasks, which are:
\n1) Significance - Problem, case, or question that demonstrates each concept's usefulness.
\n2) Same problem - Individuals and/or groups work on the same problem or scenario.
\n3) Specific choice - Individuals and/or groups have to make a specific choice and argue for it. (Though we still invite caveats and drawbacks to a choice to be freely admitted!)
\n4) Simultaneous report - When possible, choices should be reported simultaneously.","Order":3},{"ID":"8451f6e8-13cc-4c41-b83c-14f7c144d810","Title":"Preclusions","Description":"Nil","Order":9},{"ID":"58473c64-f4cf-4259-88a8-d023fa7f9b0f","Title":"Workload","Description":"3-0-3-0-4-0

\n\tStudents will form teams each comprising 3 students. Each team will be assigned one of the topics from the Syllabus. The team will collectively source material on the topic on their own (with some guidance from the tutor) and collate it for the purpose of presenting it during the seminar sessions. Each topic will be presented in two consecutive weeks by all the team members. The presentation should be informal and accurate, and no rigorous treatment of the mathematics is expected. The emphasis should be on

\n\t(i) the historical genesis of the main ideas,

\n\t(ii) the conceptual obstacles initially encountered,

\n\t(iii) some ramifications and applications of the ideas.

\n\tTeam members will be individually assessed on their presentations and their responses in the discussion generated.

\n\t

\n\tThe audience is encouraged to ask questions and give comments on the material presented. Points of credit will be awarded to students who participate in the discussion generated by the presentation. The purpose of the discussion should be to encourage a spirit of curiosity and an opening up of the mind to new ideas.

\n\t

\n\tLunch-time and other seminars

\n\tStudents are expected to attend some recommended seminars given by visitors to NUS or by our own Science Faculty staff members. These seminars will be announced during the course of the semester.

\n\t

\n\tWritten reports and term papers

\n\tEach student will be required to write one report and one term paper.

\n\t

\n\tThe seminar report should consist of about 500 words and deal with the contents of one of the recommended seminars attended,

\n\t

\n\tThe term paper should deal with the topic presented by his or her team and may be largely expository and general in nature without any mathematical rigour. It should be coherent and informative. Sufficient references should be given to the sources of the material of the paper. The paper should consist of about 2000 words, not counting the references or bibliography.

\n\t

\n\tThe team members may discuss among themselves the contents of their reports and term papers, but each member should be responsible for writing his or her own report.

\r\n\tThe development of mathematical concepts and theories is often influenced by an intuition acquired from physical experience and by analogy with various areas of scientific and mathematical knowledge. Analogy is a powerful force in preparing, if not predicting, new concepts while an experience-based intuition can sometimes be an obstacle. The objective of this seminar module is to present case studies of the creative role of analogy in mathematics and of the ground-breaking importance of "counter-intuition" in modern mathematics. A wealth of examples of both can be ground in geometry, number theory, analysis, algebra, logic, set theory and theoretical computer science. Students of this module are expected to source for relevant material in books, journals and even the internet under the guidance of the lecturer. The emphasis, however, will be on the spirit of the mathematical enterprise rather than on the technical mastery.
\r\n\t
\r\n\tTo illustrate the use of analogy and intuition in problem solving, some puzzles and elementary problems will be posed in class for attempt and discussion.

\nFor Semester 1, Academic Year 2013/2014, we will be turning our attention specifically to animals. If you hate animals or dislike courses with a heavier than normal reading load (average of three readings per week). Please DO NOT take this course.This course WILL NOT be webcasted. If you cannot attend all lectures/tutorials due to other commitments (academic or otherwise), please DO NOT take this course.
\n
\nWe will be using a course textbook this semester. It is now available at the NUS CO-OP. The cost of the book is $34.30 or $30.87 after co-op member discount (I am not sure how does one qualify for the discount or if it is applicable to everyone, so please check with the book store). The book is "Placing Animals: An introduction to the geography of human-animal relations" by Julie Urbanik. It is published in 2012 by Rowman and Littlefield Publishers. I strongly encourage everyone to purchase a personal copy as we will be reading almost all of the book for this course. The co-op has brought in only 80 copies (their policy, not mine!), so if anyone of you are unable to purchase the book, please email me immediately so that I can ask them to restock.
\n
\nAll other readings will be made available in IVLE workbin by end of next week.

\nSoutheast Asia has been described as a miracle region, an area of the world that challenges some of our entrenched understandings of the processes and outcomes of modernisation and development, and an exemplar for the wider global South. The experiences of the countries of the region also offer a sometimes sobering insight into the imperfections of market-led social and economic transformation. Drawing on detailed case study material from across Southeast Asia, this module will provide an assessment and critique of how scholars have understood development, how states have sought to manage change, and how men and women living in the region have experienced transformation and sometimes shaped it in their own interests. The module will:

\nTutorials are held in even weeks, from Week 4 onwards.
\n
\nTutorial 1, week 4: Why consider cultural and political landscapes? (CGW)
\nExamine one of the key readings listed for lecture 2 (CGW) on the political landscape.
\nWatch at least two of the following You Tube videos. As some of them are lengthy, please view outside of class.
\n

\n\t\thttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zG60-hzLFF0 (27.35 mins, 2013) (Journeyman TV. “We will not be moved” – a story about forced evictions and land rights, Cambodia)
\n\t\thttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4yQmR9dAg_A (8.06 mins, 2012) (Mapping Myanmar’s New Political Geography, Dr. Nicholas Farrelly, College of Asia and the Pacific, Australian National University, ANU. A new electoral political geography has emerged within a politically reforming, former military state)
\n\t\thttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZHn6NPsqsbs (25.31 mins, 2012) (Al Jazeera: Inside Story: What is Behind Myanmar’s Ethnic Unrest? Focusing on the situation confronting the Rohingya in the Western Arakan area of Myanmar)
\n\t\thttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1IMANqCpAIk (11.47 mins, 2009) (Al Jazeera documentary, part 1, “Thai Terror”, about the protracted conflict involving the predominantly Muslim deep South of Thailand and the Thai State)

\nUse these materials to help answer the following questions: How should we define political landscapes? What are the dominant drivers and shapers of the political landscape? Why do we need to consider the political character of specific states when considering issues of “development” in Southeast Asia? With reference to any of the materials you have looked at, consider why issues of national development often mask issues of differentiated citizenship, political inequality and uneven social justice?
\n
\nTutorial 2, week 6: Debating development (JR)
\nGroup discussion. Read one key reading and one of the supplementary readings from the Week 5 reading list and watch the following short video clips:
\n·         Stiglitz talks about going beyond GDP: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G4d_-zaJXuA&feature=relmfu (4.06 mins, 2011)
\n·         What are Asian values? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TeD1hPr8zJI (2.14 mins, 2012)
\n·         Buddhist and environmental protection: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-sULY8kX6Z8 (8.34 mins, 2012)
\nUse these to consider and then discuss, in tutorial, the following questions: What do we understand by development? How do we best measure or assess development? What is poverty? How do we best measure or assess poverty? What is the best means to achieve development? What is pro-poor growth?
\n
\nTutorial 3, week 8: Abundant resources: curse or cure? (CGW)
\nExamine any one of the Global Witness reports (for week 8 on Cambodia), plus one of the journal readings. Group discussions will be based on the following You Tube video clips, plus information gained from the readings.
\n

\n\t\thttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1ILhuX2-68 (10.01 mins, 2007) (Documentary: The Green Deal)
\n\t\thttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NkIqxoRMPYk (4.34 mins, 2009) (Al Jazeera report on Global Witness report ‘Country for Sale’)
\n\t\thttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ooX4g8FbE8 (8.01 mins, 2010) (World Fish Documentary: ch.3. The Lands of the Lake / Tonle Sap)

\nUse these materials to discuss the following questions: Why do some writers talk about a “resource curse”? How and why do broader political economic concerns affect the development of resources? Why, in countries like Cambodia, are natural resources linked to issues of livelihood and food security and issues of social justice? Why is it important to consider the political character of the state in relation to development? With reference to either forests or fisheries, examine key challenges to securing long-term livelihood and food security.
\n
\nTutorial 4, week 10: Presentations of Group Projects (see below, Assignments)
\nDeadlines are your tutorial slots for the week 20 – 26 October. You should also hand in your reports (hardcopy) during the tutorial, after your respective presentation.
\n
\nTutorial 5, week 12: Constructing an Index of Southeast Asian Development (JR)
\nGroup task and discussion: reflect on the module and the reading that you have undertaken. Have a look at the UNDP website (http://www.undp.org/content/undp/en/home.html) and, in particular, at the justification for and methods used to construct the Index of Human Development (http://hdr.undp.org/en/humandev/).
\n
\nOn the basis of your reading, experience and understanding, you will – in the same groups that you have formed for your group assignment – construct a ‘Southeast Asian index of development’. This index of development will comprise 5 weighted variables. In tutorial each group will be asked to present its index and justify its choice of variables; we will assess, critique and consider your indexes.

\n
\nTwo Assignments for C.A.
\n
\nIndividual Assignment:
\nEach of you must choose one of the following essays.
\n·         Using examples drawn from the region to illustrate your case, what processes have served to marginalise people and lives in the context of economic growth and generally improving living standards?
\nWrite an essay of maximum 2,000 words (excluding references). Your essay should critically explore underlying processes relating to issues of exclusion and marginality and should draw on material beyond chapters 3 and 4 in Rigg 2003.
\n
\n·         'To think of Southeast Asia in terms of discrete 'rural' and 'urban' worlds obscures from view and analysis many of the most important processes driving change.' Discuss.
\nWrite an essay of maximum 2,000 words (excluding references) exploring the changes in rural society and interactions between rural and urban worlds in contemporary Southeast Asia. Rigg (2003) is a guide, but you should explore two cases not included in the book to reveal why and how rural-urban interactions are significant and the transformations in rural economies and social life.
\n
\nDeadline for your essay is: Friday, 01 November, 2013, 5pm. You must upload onto the Assignments Work Bin on IVLE, and also send an email to geocerg@nus.edu.sg to indicate you have submitted your essay.
\n
\nGroup Assignment:
\nYou will form into groups of 3 or 4 (within your allocated Tutorial Slots). Choose between any one of the following broad themes: “Political landscapes of development”, “Thinking alternatively about development”, “Abundant resources: cure or curse”, “Experiences of exclusion”, or “Rural transformations”. Each group must come up with the following – (1) an appropriate You Tube video based upon a specific theme; (2) a short presentation comprising no more than 5 slides. Each group will have 5 min presentation time and 3 min to show a section of the You Tube they have chosen. Total 8 min – Assessments will be based on (a) the presentation, and (b) a short report of 1,000 words explaining your group’s reasons for choosing the theme and video selected, it’s relation to the module, what you have learnt, and the research questions that arise from the video. All presentations will take place in the tutorial slots of Week 10

How often have you made a decision on what to wear based on “how the weather looks outside?” How often do you change your travel plans after hearing the forecast on the TV/Radio, or reading it off your newspaper/computer/smartphone etc.? Furthermore, the weather (and climate) of a place also can have much larger (and longer-term) impacts to communities – you just have to see the fallout from the recent 2013 transnational haze event in Southeast Asia, or the concern over future global climate change, to understand that weather and climate also is significant towards human affairs at a regional or global level.
\n
\nIf you are curious about how the weather operates, or how scientists measure and model weather and climate of a locale – or if you are keen to have the questions in the bullet points above answered – then this module is for you. It provides an introduction to the processes underlying the atmospheric environment from local to global scales. It commences with a discussion of atmospheric concepts in a visual and practical manner. Understanding and application of meteorological principles will be emphasized which help to elaborate environmental phenomena such as clouds and rainfall, tropical storms or global climate change.
\n
\nThis is an introductory-level course for non-science and science students taking their first course in climatology or meteorology. You will gain a basic understanding of the earth’s weather processes and climatic conditions based on clear and concise explanations of the basic physical principles of the atmosphere. After completing this course, students will be able to understand the processes responsible for the variation of global temperature fields, the exchange of energy between the sun and the earth surface, the nature of small and large-scale wind systems, cloud formation and precipitation, global transport of energy and its relation to climate and climate change. The course will increase the awareness for atmospheric processes (weather and climate) around us and how they relate to common weather-related environmental phenomena. Building on the acquired knowledge, You will be able to understand and critically interpret reports about severe weather (e.g. droughts, floods, tropical storms) and climate change (e.g. El Nino, greenhouse effect) at the end of the module.

\neTutorials
\nThere are five eTutorial sessions scheduled for this course. Each student will be assigned a tutorial group comprising of local and international students from the three different institutions (NUS, UBC and UWS). The tutorial discussions will be held asynchronously via a shared online platform hosted on NUS’ IVLE, where students will get the opportunity to interact and exchange opinions on a variety of topics pertaining to migration issues in their respective countries.
\n
\nFor example, students from UWS will be able to ask their Canadian and Singaporean peers, “Why does your country’s immigration policy function the way it does?” and vice versa. Contributions may take the form of sharing one’s personal migration story, opinions and/or theoretical viewpoints on a particular migration issue, photographs of im/migrant landscapes, or interesting news articles/ online debates that one has come across. \n

\n\tImportant guidelines\n\t

\n\t\t\tEach eTutorial discussion will address a specific migration topic that will be posted by your tutor. The thread will be mounted for 7 days, during which students will be expected to make relevant and meaningful contributions to these discussions.
\n\t\t\tYou are expected to participate only in the specific tutorial group that you have been assigned. Your tutorial grade will be assessed based on the quality of your contribution in each weekly eTutorial discussion, which will be monitored by your tutor throughout the week.
\n\t\t\tWe will grade only two posts per student per tutorial, and each post should be no longer than 300 words. Whilst students are welcome to participate more, these extra posts will not be graded, and entries beyond 300 words will be truncated to the proper length. We are looking for quality (not quantity), and so please keep your contributions/ responses succinct.
\n\t\t\tThe goal of the eTutorial discussion is conversation. Whilst we do not expect students to speak to every issue that is raised, we do recommend striking a balance between initiating a topic for class discussion and responding to what others have posted.
\n\t\t\tThere will be 1-3 key readings assigned for each eTutorial discussion. Students are expected to have completed these readings before participating in the eTutorial discussions. Please check with your tutor if you are unsure.

\n\t
\n\tHow to access the eTutorial discussions?
\n\tThe Discussion Forum on IVLE will only be activated closer to the date of the first tutorial on 17 September 2012. An announcement will be posted to inform students about when they would be able to access the online forum.
\n\t
\n\tStudents from UBC and UWS will be provided with guest accounts to access the NUS IVLE system. Your account details will be issued to you via e-mail. Please use the Login ID of your guest account and password to log on to the system. NUS students will access IVLE using their User IDs.
\n\t
\n\tStep-by-step instructions:
\n\t1) To access the login page of NUS’ IVLE, go to https://ivle.nus.edu.sg/
\n\t
\n\t2) Enter your Login ID and password. Click on the “Login” button. You will be presented with the IVLE home screen where you’ll see the Geographies of Migration (GE 3237) module listed.
\n\t
\n\t3) You may now access a range of services by clicking on different items listed on the left drop-down menu. For example, an archive of lecture slides and readings are available via the “Workbin” button.
\n\t

The events, issues and changes selected for geographical analysis will vary each year so the module remains contemporary. Students will draw upon their accumulated geographical knowledge to research, analyse and interpret the selected issues and/or events. Working in self-defined sub-disciplinary groups (environmental, geomorphology, social, economic, political geography etc.) and inter-disciplinary groups students will be assigned research and evaluation tasks to bring their particular critical perspective (connected with academic debates) to a selected event, for example, the 2010 earthquake in Haiti or food insecurities. The module aims to encourage students to develop more 'real world' related critical thinking and provide the opportunity for reflexivity in relation to their own learning. It is also aimed to test a wider range of studying, learning and understanding skills than those assessed through essay and examination writing.
\n
\nThis new version of GE4101B (which is now in its final year) is designed to allow HY geography students to apply their acquired geographical knowledge to contemporary and real situations. They have to actively research and critically analyse several events, issues and changes as groups in order to bring their geographical expertise to bear. It is therefore a culmination module of the geography programme and hands much of the learning process over the students. This helps them with their research skills and also their analytical and application skills. It will also enhance team working skills and individual reflexive and evaluation skills. These are all skills that are required by employers and will be valuable for students whether they enter paid professional jobs, further specialised training or continue their education.
\n
\nThe module is divided into two sections. Section 1 (weeks 1 - 7) will be focused larger on issues and events relating to human geography (including the human environment intersections) and will be facilitated by Associate Professor Tracey Skelton. Section 2 will be related to physical geography themes and be delivered by Professor David Taylor.
\n
\nOBJECTIVES: Throughout and at the end of this module students will:
\n

\n\t\tDemonstrate their existing geographical specialist skills and knowledge
\n\t\tExamine contemporary events, issues and changes through geographical lenses
\n\t\tExplore a set of contemporary issues in great depth
\n\t\tApply their geographical knowledge to specific contexts
\n\t\tLearn to co-operate and delegate learning and research tasks within their groups
\n\t\tPractice and develop skills in data acquisition from a range of sources
\n\t\tConceptually frame data within scholarly debates and contexts
\n\t\tPresent a set of coherent analyses and arguments from geographical perspectives
\n\t\tReflect upon the learning process of the module

\nDuring weeks 1 to 7 there will be 6 contact classes, in week 5 there will be no class as it is e-learning week. Students instead will work on their first assignments and up load them onto the IVLE.
\nWeeks 1, 2, 4 and 6 will have the usual 3 hour class in the assigned teaching room. Week 3 will be in a room where I can show a video which will form the starting point for work for your end of module examination question (1 question related to this part of the module). Week 7 is when group videos/ powerpoint presentations will be delivered and assessed.
\n
\nThe style of teaching will be highly interactive, student-centred and facilitated rather than dictated by the tutor. Guidance on learning and ideas for studying and research will be provided by the tutor but much of the work for this module will be designed and developed by students themselves.
\n
\nThis is a new way of studying for many of you - but skills that you have developed to date: reading, listening, attending, writing, discussing, analysing, critiquing - are all still required in this mode of learning. However, there will be no spoon feeding - ideas, questions, interventions and thinking will be done independently and in groups by the students. It is different work for learning but it is still hard work. The important thing will be open mindedness, critical awareness and a determination to make sense of what is happening. New and creative ways of thinking are to be central.
\n
\nNOTE: You will be expected to do some fast research during class and so for those of you who have lap tops, tablets, smart phones etc. please bring them with you to class.

\n- Introduction to assignments and weightings for the module (in detail for Section 1). Students to decide on their 'geographical identity' (GI) and sign up by the end of the class.
\n- Discussions of research techniques and resources - specifically those related to Geography.
\n
\n(Class organisation: Sit with people you know, get to know new people, work together in discussions.)
\n
\n- Thinking time/ Brainstorming/ Discussion time - building on what you know
\nWhat are the contemporary issues and events of 2013 (and the previous 5 years) that geographers can offer an analysis for?
\nWhy are geographers interested? Why should geographers be interested?
\nWhat are the issues of social justice at play? Where does geography fit/ not fit?
\nWhat is critical thinking?
\nWhat is reflexive learning?
\n
\nProf Tracey's presentation on critical and holistic geographical thinking. Early introduction to reflexive thinking, learning and writing (if time runs short this will be the opening to Class 2).
\n
\nHomework for week 2: Each student to research and find 1 geographical article (or chapters) related to geographies of age. Each student should read and make analytical notes on their paper - ready to present in week 2. There should be 1 minute of an overview of what the paper is about and then a reflection on what are the key points from the article in relation to age - what does the article tell us about geographies of age. This must be done in the students own words. There has to be evidence of reading, processing and critical engagement with the piece. Before the class each student is to submit the reference of their selected article or chapter using the Harvard style described in the HT Guidelines into a designed folder on the IVLE. We will then view these in class to check on range of work selected but also people's ability to reference correctly. This must be done by Saturday evening at the latest - Prof. Skelton has to process them.
\nAll of these readings will be mde available in an IVLE workbin folder so that they act as a whole class resource - so do good research.
\n
\nWeek 2: Focus on Geographies of Age
\n- Introduction to geographies of age - interactive style lecture
\n- Student mini-presentations on their papers - chosen by Prof Skelton at random
\n- Whole class detailed focus on age and sharing of ideas.
\n- Further discussion of photo-essay assignment (to be submitted in week 5)
\nClass activities: Students advised of their GI Holistic Geography groups. Asked to sit together. Getting to know each other (finding out about their geography experiences and ways in which they find out about the wider world)
\nClass introductions - each person in the group introduces another person from their GI group. They should announce their names very clearly and provide 2 interesting things about that person (1 geographical, 1 non-academic)
\n- Prof Tracey to introduce next week's activity
\n
\nHomework: further research on geographies of age and preparation of selection of photographs. Reading of guidance material on reflexive/ reflective learning. The latter is required for part of the examination.
\n
\nWeek 3: Whole class viewing of selected film (duration about 1hr 40mins)
\nIn a room to be announced with either a 9.30am or 10am start. You need to make notes on the film in terms of your holistic geographical learning and understanding, for example:
\n

\n\t\tnote what is distinctive about the film
\n\t\twhat new facts do you learn
\n\t\twhat surprises, shocks, delights, saddens, intrigues, bores you
\n\t\twhat arguments are presented - how do you react to them
\n\t\twhat's good about the film/ what's bad
\n\t\twhy was the film made/ what are its objectives in your opinion?

\nWeek 4:
\n- Critical discussion and reflection about the film
\n- Further work on geographies of age
\n- GI group working and planning for group project - making decisions and getting started. How will you focus on ages and scale (video/ powerpoint); what will your focus be (international or local); pros and cons of each.
\n- Viewing of some of last years work.
\n- Schedule for week 6 groups advisory meetings to be sorted out
\n
\nWeek 5: e-learning week (no formal class)
\n- Use the IVLE to up load your photo essays - this must be done by Wednesday 11th September by 5pm (students on the Fiji fieldtrip you can have until Thursday September 19th at 5pm week 6)
\n
\nWeek 6:
\nGI group work on video/ powerpoints
\nTimetabled advisory sessions with each group - possibly in another nearby classroom. I wish to see everyone in each group for you to all report on your ideas, planning so far, progress and timetable for the remaining preparatory time. It is your time to ask questions and raise any problems to date.
\n
\nRECESS WEEK
\n
\nWeek 7:
\nPresentations by each GI Holistic Geographies groups (note we may have to continue this class until 1pm). Anyone who has a class they have to attend please advise me in week 6 so I can schedule such groups earlier in the slot of the class.
\nI will make every effort to have marked all of the photo essays - however, if not they will be returned to you in week 8.

\r\n\tThe field expedition will be embedded within the regular semester and will be preceded by preparatory seminars to provide concepts, theories and specific techniques relevant to the fieldwork location. It will be followed by a period of post-fieldwork analysis and presentation of project outcomes.
\r\n\t
\r\n\tFor this offering of the module, students will travel to the Fiji Islands in the South Pacific. The destination will be the main island of Viti Levu where we will stay first on the coast, then travel to a remote area (Sigatoka valley) to live in a traditional Fijian village. The pedagogic aims are to present a lifetime opportunity to NUS Geography Major/Honours students to investigate an exceptionally wide variety of tropical geomorphology in an unparalleled Pacific Island location. Focus will be on volcanic landscapes, Holocene emerged reefs, living coral reefs, coastal geomorphology, sand dunes, coral island formation, tropical island rivers, cave development, geothermal springs and soil erosion processes.
\r\n\t
\r\n\tStudents will develop new skills at employing a range of tools, equipment and instrumentation in a physically challenging environment.
\r\n\t
\r\n\tPeripheral social-cultural benefits include direct experience of Fijian customs and a unique traditional way of life.

\nThis module is intended for students pursuing post-graduate tourism research. It uses a geographical lens to explore the tourism phenomenon, examining how spaces are shaped from various human and physical perspectives, as well as discussing the consumption of such landscapes within particular social relations.
\n
\nIn the critical investigation of planned and spontaneous landscapes, not only will the production of consumptive spaces of tourism be evaluated but the capacity for reflexivity in consumption will also be emphasized.In this way, the concept of sustainable tourism can be evaluated.
\n
\nThe module is structured around seminars, including a departmental seminar by the students.

\n
\nDescription
\nTaking a historical and generalist approach, this class surveys tourism in Asia. It uses a geographical lens to explore the tourism phenomenon, examining how spaces are shaped from various human and physical perspectives, as well as how such are consumed within particular social relations. While most tourism studies in geography borrow from more “mainstream” fields like cultural, urban, and social geography to describe leisure phenomena, our class reverses this view. We will use tourism to understand and assess broader ideas of colonialism, post-colonialism, development, and methodology. Our readings and class discussions will ask how tourism fits in to broader processes of human growth and change in Asia, where tourism is placed within the spectrum of mobilities of both people and ideas. This module is structured around seminars and we seek to establish a class that helps develop your own research interests using tourism studies and theories.
\n
\n
\nLearning Objectives
\n

\n\t\tBuild on previous modules and studies of tourism by incorporating and expanding vocabularies learned from previous tourism modules and exercising them in class
\n\t\tBe able to apply and critique Asia’s role in the growth of tourism development

\n\t\tExpand intellectual skills in independent thinking, research, presentation, and writing

\n\t\tLink current debates in tourism geography to broader conversations in contemporary human geography and development studies

\n\t\tExamine the ethical, moral, and policy implications of tourism and leisure

\r\n\tAIMS AND OBJECTIVES
\r\n\t
\r\n\tNationalism, as an ideology and as a key element in nation-building, has been the most important factor in the political development of modern South Asia. Nationalism in the region provided the basis for the anti-colonial movements which brought both political independence and nationhood to India and Sri Lanka and the formation of the new nation of Pakistan, while post-colonial nationalism has continued to play a role in state formation, as seen most importantly in the ‘liberation’ of Bangladesh. Different conceptions of ‘nationhood’, moreover, have continued to influence developments in the region:

\r\n

\r\n\t\tin fostering movements of regional and ethnic nationalism that have generated pressures within the nation-states of the region; and
\r\n\t\t
\r\n\t\tin the rise of ‘majoritarian’ nationalist forces which have sought to redefine national identities and create new bases for state power and the control of the major nations of the region.

\r\n

\r\n\t
\r\n\tStudents reading this module will be able:

\r\n

\r\n\t\tto distinguish between different forms of nationalism;
\r\n\t\tto explain the impact of nationalism on contemporary political developments in Asia; and
\r\n\t\tto develop knowledge of the contemporary political developments of the South Asian states.

\r\n\tCOURSE TOPICS
\r\n\tThe material in the course can be found in the textbook "Living with Mathematics" by Leong Yu Kiang and published by McGraw-Hill. The latest edition is the Third Edition (with Answers), 2011.
\r\n\t
\r\n\t

\r\n

\r\n\tReasoning
\r\n\tWe will show how the thought process of a mathematician is governed by the laws of logic and we give examples to show how mathematical results are essentially formulated and proved. We will also indicate by way of examples how ambiguous human language is and how a careful use of elementary logic can help one to detect logical pitfalls and to avoid making or falling into them in daily life.
\r\n\t
\r\n\tCounting
\r\n\tThe art of counting is fundamental to mathematics in its early development. The ability to count effectively and correctly is important in science, technology and commerce. Starting with an intuitive idea of sets, we proceed to the basic principles of counting and apply them to concrete examples, some of which concern the concepts of permutations and combinations. We will show how the simple "pigeon-hole" or "box" principle can bring much insight into practical situations of life.
\r\n\t
\r\n\tGraphing
\r\n\tThe idea of representing reality by pictures is probably as old as counting. We will show how mathematicians use a stylized type of pictures called "graphs" to represent situations in daily life and relationships between objects. We then show how such pictures can help to formulate concrete problems into something more general and more amenable to solution.
\r\n\t
\r\n\tModular Arithmetic
\r\n\tModular arithmetic permeates modern life in the form of time and day reckoning and is consequently sometimes called "clock arithmetic". The general idea of modular arithmetic will be presented gradually from situations like a child's counting on one hand or playing some simple games to detecting the periodicity or synchronization of a combination of periodic patterns or movements. It is also applied to answering the question: How do we compute the day of the week of a given date?
\r\n\t
\r\n\tCodes
\r\n\tThe most common code encountered in daily life is the decimal representation of numbers, which easily took thousands of years of civilization to reach its present universally accepted status. In this information age, other types of "codes" have sprung up, such as binary codes, ternary codes (of which Morse code is one), hexadecimal codes and ASCII codes, which have become an integral part of modern technology. Modular arithmetic plays a role in the formulation of codes with check digits, and, in particular, the familiar ISBN numbers of books. The reliable transmission of information in this digital age depends on the ingenious formulation of codes, of which the simplest are the so-called Hamming codes. We describe and indicate how the Hamming (7,4) and (8,4) codes work.
\r\n\t
\r\n\tCryptography
\r\n\tSending and deciphering secret messages, which used to be primarily amilitary activity, is now of paramount importance in this information age, particularly to banking and computer security. Starting from the so-called Caesar's code, we introduce the basic ideas of modern cryptography in the form of shift transformations and the more general affine cryptosystems, in which modular arithmetic is put to good use. We mention and illustrate the idea of a public key code with the so-called RSA code the implementation and understanding of which again requires only modular arithmetic. We also mention briefly other types of cryptosystems such as the Vigenere cipher and stream ciphers.
\r\n\t
\r\n\tChance
\r\n\tLife is fraught with uncertainty which brings with it an unending chain of risks that must be taken both consciously and unconsciously in order not to remain stagnant. Whether out of necessity or compulsion, taking chances need not be left to chance. Starting with the empirical idea of chance in coin tossing, we will introduce a more mathematical concept of chance or probability. This will be illustrated with concrete examples in games of chance, the laws of hereditary and situations in daily life. We will resolve some common probabilistic paradoxes. The necessary mathematical terms and concepts like sample space, events, independent events and conditional probability will be explained and illustrated with ample concrete examples. The concept of expectation will also be introduced using specific examples and we illustrate how the calculation of expectation is often needed in making decisions and planning strategy.
\r\n\t
\r\n\tVisualization
\r\n\tOur mental world is governed to a great extent by our movements in the physical world, and these movements are controlled by the so-called "rigid motions". We will describe rigid motions both intuitively and geometrically and give examples to show how they enter into our perception of the physical world. We will also indicate how a proper understanding of rigid motions can be put to practical use and how it can enhance our appreciation of pictures and patterns that appeal to us geometrically, if not aesthetically.

Every day, we are faced with news that human development and consumption come at a cost to the environment. There are 7 billion people living on Earth today and our demand for resources exerts an extraordinary amount of pressure on the planet and our environment. Globally biodiversity is disappearing through habitat destruction, overfishing and mining. Rivers, lakes and seas are polluted by sewerage and marine debris; soot and smoke pollute the air we breathe. Singapore is geographically located in one of the most biodiversity-rich areas in the world, but Southeast Asia is losing a large quantity of its natural resources due to anthropogenic effects.

hand, foot and mouth disease to the banning of trans-fats in an entire city. But what is public health? Whereas doctors treat individual patients, public health is about the health of a whole population. Despite its importance, public health seems obscure and mysterious. This module uses a population-based perspective to understand the broad forces behind development of disease and ill-health. Employing the evidence-based framework, expert lecturers will share experiences, discuss current issues and debate ethical dilemmas from cancer to pandemics, from AIDS to diabetes, from diet to disasters.

\n\t\t\t\t6 \n\t\t\t\t(17 Sep 13)	\n\t\t\t\t Speaker: Assoc Prof Rob van Dam \n\t\t\t\t \n\t\t\t\tTitle: Nutrition, obesity and cardiovascular disease \n\t\t\t\tShort Synopsis: What we eat and drink can affect our health in many ways. A lack of essential nutrients (vitamins, minerals, selected fatty acids and amino acids) can lead to severe deficiency diseases and low energy or protein intake can lead to malnutrition. Excess energy intake, 'overeating', can also lead to ill health: accumulation of too much body fat can interfere with normal metabolism and contribute to the development of type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and certain types of cancer. In terms of public health interventions, it is increasingly realized than only educational initiatives have limited impact on improving lifestyles. An approach where healthier choices become easy or even default choices by changing the food and physical activity environmental is also warranted. This lecture will be an opportunity to engage students in a discussion on novel policies and interventions to improve dietary intakes of the population and contain the future burden of chronic diseases. \n\t\t\t\tObjectives:\n\t\t\t\t \n\t\t\t\t\t \n\t\t\t\t\t\tTo know about the global prevalence of obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases and how economic transitions are typically accompanied by epidemiological and dietary transitions. \n\t\t\t\t\t \n\t\t\t\t\t\tTo have a basic understanding about the ways that dietary intakes can affect the development of obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases \n\t\t\t\t\t \n\t\t\t\t\t\tTo reflect on determinants of dietary intakes in the populations and a diversity of intervention and policy initiatives that can improve dietary intakes and reduce the incidence of chronic diseases. \n\t\t\t\t \n\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t7 \n\t\t\t\t(1 Oct 13)	\n\t\t\t\tSpeaker: Prof Richard Coker \n\t\t\t\t \n\t\t\t\tTitle: Tuberculosis: a disease and social lens \n\t\t\t\t \n\t\t\t\tShort Synopsis: \n\t\t\t\tIn 1969, the United States Surgeon General claimed that ‘‘it’s time to close the book on infectious diseases’’. It is 50 years since the first effective anti-tuberculosis drugs were developed, and 35 years since the most effective drug, rifampicin, was developed. Treatment effectiveness approaching 100% was shown through a ground-breaking series of randomized controlled trials in the 1960s and 1970s resulted in confirmation that multiple drug treatment strategies worked. Yet TB epidemiology remains grim. Almost one-third of the world is infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the organism that causes TB. Almost 10 million people become ill each year with tuberculosis, and 2 million die. Yet less than half of all TB cases worldwide are properly diagnosed, and fewer than 60% of those are cured. Where the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) has established itself, the news is even worse. As one of the world’s most common infections, M. tuberculosis does not cause active disease in all who are infected. Among that fraction of the infected who do fall ill, however, the majority live in poverty. This session will review how poverty and social inequalities determine, through myriad mechanisms, who will fall ill from TB and who will not. We will also review how control measures on occasion compound inequities. \n\t\t\t\t \n\t\t\t\tObjectives: \n\t\t\t\t \n\t\t\t\t\t \n\t\t\t\t\t\tTo describe the global epidemiology of tuberculosis over the past 5 years \n\t\t\t\t\t \n\t\t\t\t\t\tTo describe the social drivers and public health responses to tuberculosis \n\t\t\t\t\t \n\t\t\t\t\t\tTo understand why public health is political, and how an understanding of the social aspects of tuberculosis offer wider insights into political responses to many of the most marginalized populations \n\t\t\t\t \n\t\t\t

By critically examining what it means to designate an object, practice or person as ‘fake’, and how different kinds of fakes are judged as more or less problematic, students will develop the capacity to think critically and relationally about deep-seated human desires for ‘truth’ and ‘value’.
\n
\nIn the 2013 edition of the seminar, the main emphasis will be on human relations with fakes (or suspected fakes) in the worlds of art, consumer goods, science and medicine. By examining cases and examples, students are encouraged to develop their ability to think critically about fake-versus-real as a binary opposition.

\nCold clammy palms, butterflies in your stomach, frog in the throat or stage fright - if these sensations sound even vaguely familiar, face your fears and sign up for GEM2027 Introduction to Public Speaking. Public speaking is an essential skill for any professional in today's world. In fact, many employers from both the private and public sectors have lamented that a common problem among many Singaporean graduates is the lack of public speaking and presentation skills. The module meets an identified need in Singapore for articulate professionals who can think critically and speak publicly on behalf of organizations, especially about current issues, as well as participating effectively in internal discussions and brainstorming sessions. With an emphasis on application, the module equips students with a foundational understanding of the ways in which oral communication can be conceptualised and delivered and with practice in that delivery.
\n
\nSo stand out from the crowd and learn how to deliver a speech eloquently and confidently.
\n
\n
\nAims: This module prepares students to be effective and efficient public speakers. It offers an overview of the theories of oral communication and public speaking, with particular emphasis on the practical aspects of researching, organizing and presenting speeches. It looks into adapting evidence, language, visual aids and other message characteristics for strategic communication to designated audiences. It emphasizes principles and methods of selected forms of public speaking for various purposes, audiences and contexts and includes practice in the critical analysis of speeches.
\n
\nObjectives: Students will be expected to integrate the class material and current events into effective presentations and to continually improve their public speaking skills. Students will be expected to research and organize accurate content for and deliver a variety of speeches, including informative, demonstration, and persuasive speeches, and to adapt these speeches as a part of the strategic communication for an organization. Students also will be expected to deliver their speeches extemporaneously, participate in impromptu and planned group discussions on current events, and critique the speeches of celebrated orators as well as their classmates’ presentations.

\nContent assessment will include relevance to current events and issues of public concern, accuracy of facts, whether main points are supported by evidence, and comprehensiveness of the main points. Delivery assessment will include whether the student uses clear articulation with appropriate language and sufficient volume; maintains eye contact; uses effective gestures; avoids distracting mannerisms; demonstrates sufficient preparation, including not reading from notes; and, when required, uses appropriate visual aids effectively. Delivery assessment will be facilitated by audience and respondent feedback.
\n
\nTypes of Speeches:*
\n

\n\t\tDemonstrative (How-to): not graded (3min)
\n\t\tImpromptu: not graded (3min)
\n\t\tEpideictic (Ceremonial): 10% (6min)
\n\t\tInformative: 15% (7min)
\n\t\tActuate (Persuasive): 20% (8min)

\n* The precise timing of each speech as well as type of speech will be confirmed at a later date.
\n
\n* For the purpose of assessment, students are to submit a hardcopy of their speech immediately preceding each speech presentation for grading purposes.
\n
\nResponder/Critic Assignment: 15%
\nEach student will serve as a responder and critic for a classmate’s actuating speech. The responder will be given 5 minutes to give a summary of as well as critique the speech. The aim of the formal critiques is to promote critical analysis of the oral communication of others, including spokespersons for organizations. Emphasis is placed on the originality and rigor of the analysis, which includes raising comments and questions that demonstrate the student’s reflection upon the ideas presented.
\n
\nSubject matter/Topic:
\nStudents are free to choose the subject matter/topic but are advised to consult their tutors on the topic's suitability for the speech type. Please choose topics that are important to you and that you are passionate about as students who do so, normally do better. It is hard to give a speech about something that you are only lukewarm about. However do note that not all topics are suitable, given the time constraints as well as the criteria of the speech, so please check with the tutor or the module coordinator.
\n
\nDelivery Specifications:
\nEpideitic speech: Cue cards required, visual aids are allowed but not required.
\nInformative speech: Cue cards required, visual aids are allowed but not required.

\n(IV) In-class quiz (20%): Multiple choice and short answer questions on the theoretical basis of speech communication.
\n
\n(V) Participation (10%): Tutorial attendance and participation, forum participation.

\n\t\t\tModule Description
\n\t\t\tImportant aspects of our lives are increasingly global. What happens in one society can have tremendous consequences in another. We are tied together through flows of capital and labor, through media and cultural experiences, and through global politics. This module introduces the emerging multi-disciplinary field of global studies that tries to make sense of this web of inter-connectedness.
\n\t\t\t
\n\t\t\tIn the first weeks of this module we discuss some of the major players in global affairs as well as some big ideas for talking about how these players interact and shape the world. Over the remainder of the semester we examine these actors and ideas in a variety of issue-areas, all of great importance. These issue-areas include natural resources, supply chains, food, the Internet, migration, and culture.
\n\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t
\n\t\t\tGoals
\n\t\t\tBy the end of the course students will have learned:
\n\t\t\t•   to understand the tension between inter-state, transnational, regional, and global perspectives on global issues,
\n\t\t\t•   to be able to make sense of contested concepts, complex data, and explanatory uncertainty in approaching policy issues,
\n\t\t\t•   to make effective presentations, write and revise essays that are clear, concise, well-argued, and that engage the reader, and provide and receive criticism.
\n\t\t\t
\n\t\t\tLectures
\n\t\t\tLectures are held weekly. In lecture, Dr. Kim will help guide you through the week’s topic. Besides the readings, she will also introduce materials not found in the texts. Attending lectures and reading will help you to prepare adequately for assignments and the exam. The topics and readings are listed by week in the final section of this syllabus.
\n\t\t\t
\n\t\t\tDiscussion Groups (tutorials)
\n\t\t\tLectures are supplemented with discussion groups led by the instructor and tutor. Every two weeks you will meet with your discussion group. These sessions give you opportunities to participate in discussions and activities based on class material. Participation in discussion groups accounts for a portion of your final grade. Attendance is mandatory. Good participation involves contributing regular, thoughtful comments and participating in activities in tutorial.

\r\n
\r\nThis module explores the role of technology in human history from ancient times until today: does technology drive history, or is it the other way around?
\r\nDoes technology hold / possess a politics of its own? Does it have agency?
\r\n
\r\nExamining a variety of important technologies - ships, windmills, telephones, and of course wheels and the internet - the course will follow a different path through time than that commonly taken. We'll not forget politics or society, however, because 'technology' often turns out to be as much about people as hardware.
\r\n
\r\nWars, geopolitics, and the discovery of new pleasures and anxieties are all interwoven with the history of tools and techniques.
\r\n
\r\nThe module is open to students from any faculty. In the most recent terms (2009 (v 1.0), 2010 (v 2.0), 2012 (v 3.0), this has most frequently included students from FASS (esp. History, P.S., SOC, and CNM), Faculty of Business, and Faculty of Science.
\r\n
\r\nNote:
\r\n
\r\nSymptoms of prolonged exposure to this module may include occasional bouts of Luddite behavior, a deep and corrosive skepticism towards top-down, state-directed planning, and a desire to embrace hacker culture.

\r\n
\r\nIn other words, a deeply engaged yet skeptical technophilia is encouraged.
\r\n
\r\nWhere does our "built" environment come from? What forces mediate between us and the world? How do we as human beings intervene in and reshape the world, and is this always a good thing?

Asia is beyond doubt. But the significance of its impact on the structure of the region's 'contemporary' history is more debatable, for revisionist historians are wont to discount the thesis that the War represented a significant turning point or watershed which 'transformed' the region's history. Drawing on both country and regional perspectives, this module first assesses the impact of the War on the theme of decolonization, perhaps the one major historically significant process to dominate the region's political terrain in the immediate post-war aftermath. It will further examine the challenges and trials confronting the new states "after" decolonization, in particular, their search not only for new political frameworks to replace the colonial structures they had discarded, but also for solutions to mitigate the issues of social integration, inter-state conflict and regional co-operation.","Order":1},{"ID":"2e5f053b-8835-4692-be49-41f07234cfff","Title":"Prerequisites (What should I know?)","Description":"NIL","Order":2},{"ID":"4e5f053b-8835-4692-be49-41f07234cfff","Title":"Schedule","Description":"hy3204_ay2013-14_ivle_announcement

\n\tThis module is designed to introduce new graduate students in History to the the practice of history. This is not meant to be a comprehensive programme to prepare students for a chronological or regional specialization but rather to discuss a wide range of contemporary questions and debates in the discipline and as well as in the practice of History. The focus will be on historical works as well as historians; current debates about historical practice, theoretical history and historical interpretation in Western historiography as well as reviewing some historiographical contributions fields of Middle East/South Asian and Southeast Asian historiography. It is hoped that students will explore the challenges inherent in connecting archival study with theoretical methodologies, and well as the epistemological questions that confront all students of History.

\n\tThis module is 100% Continuous Assessment.

\n\t

\n\tThere are NO exams associated with HY6101.

\n\t

\n\tThe assessment is as follows:

\n\t

\n\t2 x Book Reviews (1000 words each) 40%

\n\tSyllabus Project 10%

\n\tReview Essay (3,000 words) 30%

\n\tClass participation 20%

\n\t

\n\tWritten work

\n\tThere are 4 written assignments in this class. Each student is expected to do 2 book reviews, a syllabus project, and a 3,000 word review essay.

\n\t

\n\tBook Reviews: The class is divided into three sections which are listed in the schedule above.

\n\tStudents are expected to write a thousand word book review for two sections. Academic book reviews are not simply descriptive but rather an analytical exercise in drawing out interesting historiographical issues for assessment and debate. You must do a review of the first section and either Section 2 or 3.
\n\t
\n\tHere is a model book review for a book I liked: http://jah.oxfordjournals.org.libproxy1.nus.edu.sg/content/86/3/1396.2.full.pdf
\n\t
\n\tHere is a sample book review for a work I was luke warm about: http://jah.oxfordjournals.org.libproxy1.nus.edu.sg/content/95/1/246.full.pdf+html
\n\t
\n\tHere is a sample book review for a book I thought was awful: http://www.jstor.org.libproxy1.nus.edu.sg/stable/2700502

\n\t

\n\tSyllabus: You are required to construct a 13-week undergraduate course syllabus in your field of study. You are preparing for a second-year undergraduate module and need to establish a broad course which will also provide some depth of knowledge. You will be assessed for the coherence of the course in terms of lectures, reading and tutorials as well as assessments. You will distribute your syllabus to each member of the class and we will have a session reviewing each person's syllabus during the assigned class session. Think about how you would use a field trip in such a syllabus and what sort of reading you need to accompany such a trip.

\n\t

\n\tReview Essay: This is a 3,000-word paper. Students are required to write a thematic review essay of at least four books from the syllabus this semester. Students should discuss this review with the lecturer.
\n\t
\n\tClass Participation: Class participation is crucial to your overall grade. Each week one or two students will be assigned to lead a discussion. The discussion leader is expected to draw out the main thrust of each book as well as discuss key questions found within the book. Depending on the class size, you may be required to lead up to 2 discussions. You will also be graded for your participation in all class discussions.
\n\t
\n\tPlagiarism: If quoting directly from a work be sure to use quotaion marks and cite your source in a footnote. If you do not do this you are cheating. See NUS's policy http://www.nus.edu.sg/registrar/adminpolicy/acceptance.html#NUSHonourCode

\r\n\tHuman factors engineering discovers and applies information about human behavior, abilities, limitations, and other characteristics to the design of tools, machines, systems, tasks, jobs, and environments for productive, safe, comfortable, and effective human use (Chapanis, 1985).

\r\n

\r\n\t
\r\n\tThis course will focus on the interaction dynamics between the human operator and the machine or system in a human-machine system. We shall begin by defining the areas of concern in human factors engineering (e.g., the human-machine interface, the displays to be perceived, the controls to be actuated). We shall also discuss the tools and methodologies used by human factors engineers. The next part of the course will discuss issues of capabilities and limitations of the human operator. Throughout the course, emphasis will be placed on application- as opposed to theoretical-oriented material.

\r\n

\r\n\t\t(15%). Home works and one-page reports. All will be group-based, meaning you complete and submit the home work or one-page report as a group. Each will be different. There will be a total of about six home works or one-page reprots to submit.
\r\n\t\t(30%). Mid-term test. The mid-term test will be closed-book. The examinable material will include the lecture notes, reading from assigned textbook, and any other material provided from Weeks 1 through 6. The mid-term test will take place during the first part of the lecture on Week 7, Wed, Oct 2, 6:30 pm – 7:30 pm. The venue will be where the lectures take place, i.e., EA-06-03.
\r\n\t\t(35%). Final exam. The final exam will be closed-book. It will be comprehensive, i.e., it will cover all material discussed in the module, but the emphasis will be on the latter part of the module (i.e., Weeks 7 through 12). The final exam will take place on Thurs, Nov 28, 5:00 pm. Further details will be announced.
\r\n\t\t(20%). Group project.

\r\nTotal is 100%.

\r\nHome Works and One-page Reports
\r\n
\r\nDetails will be provided when each home work or one-page report is assigned. These assignments are generally designed to require 1-2 hrs of effort to complete. They will usually be due 1 to 2 weeks after they have been assigned.
\r\n
\r\nGroup Project
\r\n
\r\nThe purpose of the group project is to involve students with human factors engineering evaluation and design tools in a particular area of relatively narrow scope. This exercise is intended to acquaint you with the human factors literature and to also do some practical work such as conduct a survey or evaluate or design a product. Your knowledge base should be broadened and deepened in the process.
\r\n
\r\nThere are two deliverables for the group project:
\r\n
\r\n

\r\n\t\tSubmit a project report. The report should be completed in two parts. The first part should consist of a literature review. It must be based on bonafide, scientific references to support your arguments. The second part would consist of your survey, design, or proposal on how the product can be improved. More will be mentioned in class about some possible topics to work on for your group project. The project report that you submit must be no longer than 15 double-spaced pages including all figures, tables, cover page, references, etc. Use a minimum font size of 10-point Times Roman, 2.5 cm margin all round. There will be no exception to this. This limit must be adhered to as scientific reports must be complete and thorough while at the same time succinct, to the point, and without inclusion of unnecessary or irrelevant material. Anything above the 15-page limit will not be read. The report is due at the start of class on Week 13, Nov 13, 6:00 pm.
\r\n\t\tSubmit an A1-size poster. The poster is to be submitted on Week 13, Nov 13. It will be presented and graded then. More details will be announced.

\r\nThe project topic once decided on, must be properly scoped. Choose your topic carefully. If the area is too large, you would not be able to accommodate it in the 15-page limit. If it is too narrow, there may not be enough reference material. To aid you in scoping the topic, submit a one-page proposal by the start of class, 6:00 pm, on Week 3, Aug 28. In the proposal, describe what it is you want to assess or improve on, be it a product or a work method or procedure. The instructors will be able to make suggestions on the scope/direction of your project.
\r\n
\r\nIt is stressed that students must choose a topic in an area in which they have not worked on before. The NUS honor code applies. The group project accomplishment must be the result of the students’ own effort. A statement to this effect and your signatures are required at the end of the report (e.g., "We (the group members) affirm that the contents of this report and the poster are due to the sole effort of ourselves. All work not done by us have been duly acknowledged. <Signatures>).

\r\n
\r\nStudents will explore how a language is shaped by the culture in which it is used and how it in turn shapes its users’ views of other cultures. They will investigate the culture-specific aspects of language, how they colour speakers’ worldviews, and how differences in worldviews may lead to intercultural misunderstanding. Students will develop reasoned positions on particular issues in intercultural communication and formulate arguments to defend their points of view. The focus will be on English and Singlish but other varieties of English and other languages will be used for comparison.
\r\n
\r\nCommon Objectives
\r\n
\r\nAll UTWP modules will provide students with the opportunity to learn and apply five core strategies that underlie successful scholarly writing:
\r\n

\r\n\t\tanalyzing how authors argue in favor of a certain position,
\r\n\t\tcomparing opposing positions and attempting to synthesize these through scholarly engagement,
\r\n\t\torganizing and expressing ideas to guide readers through a line of reasoning,
\r\n\t\tdocumenting sources,
\r\n\t\trevising the content, wording, and organization of a paper, as well as surface features such as spelling, punctuation, etc.

\r\n
\r\nIn this class, these strategies will be applied as students produce expository writing on the topic of language and culture.

\r\nThere are three written assignments and other forms of assessment.
\r\n

\r\n\t\tPaper 1, Reflective summary (15%)
\r\n\t\tPaper 2, Comparative essay (25%)
\r\n\t\tPaper 3, Expository essay (40%)
\r\n\t\tPresentations (10%)
\r\n\t\tAttendance and participation (punctuality, regularity and contributions to class discussion; 10%).

\r\nPolicy on attendance and tardiness
\r\nRegular attendance is encouraged and expected, and will be taken at the beginning of each class period.
\r\n
\r\nEvery student may take two unexcused absences freely during the semester without penalty (although students are not encouraged to do so). However, any additional unexcused absences will reduce the final participation score by 25 marks (= 2.5 of grand total) per absence. This means that if a student has four unexcused absences, 10 marks will be taken off the total and that is a hefty 10%.
\r\n
\r\nIf possible, the student should speak with the instructor in advance to determine whether or not they can be formally excused in any given case. Absences may be excused in certain cases (e.g., medical reasons, emergencies).
\r\n
\r\nPunctuality is also important. If a student arrives more than 15 minutes late, they will be considered absent for the day. If a student has a regular conflict that prevents them from coming to class in a timely manner, they should talk to the lecturer to resolve the matter.
\r\n
\r\nPolicy on Plagiarism
\r\nPlagiarism is a serious offense, especially in a writing intensive module like IEM1201.
\r\n
\r\nPlease appropriately reference all sources referred to in the written assignments. Pay close attention to class discussions of quotation, citation, and paraphrase. Understand that the writer is responsible for knowing what counts as plagiarism, which is independent of the writer’s intentions. Any serious instance of plagiarism will be reported to the appropriate administrative and academic departments for review, and can have very severe consequences.
\r\n

Through examination of the physiological, psychological and social factors that astronauts must contend with, students will engage with the ethical questions that confront governmental and private agencies when sending men and women into space. Before selecting specific ethical questions to explore in their research papers, students will also examine the motivations (scientific, commercial, political) behind different kinds of space mission and consider the moral obligations humankind may be under with regard to the exploration and potential exploitation of extraterrestrial environments.","Order":1},{"ID":"2e5f053b-8835-4692-be49-41f07234cfff","Title":"Prerequisites (What should I know?)","Description":"I&E I","Order":2},{"ID":"4e5f053b-8835-4692-be49-41f07234cfff","Title":"Schedule","Description":"

\r\nIn Unit 1 students will compile an annotated bibliography to record and organize their sources in the early stages of the research process. The purpose of this assignment is to help students review existing literature on particular ethical aspects of human engagement with outer space in order to determine a line of inquiry/research problem. They are assisted in making the first step towards selecting an appropriate ethical issue by engaging with selected readings on four different dimensions of humankind’s engagement with outer space: (i) the motivations for venturing into space; (ii) the challenges posed to human well-being within a space environment (including those arising from mission exigencies); (iii) the impact on extraterrestrial environments; and (iv) the possibility of colonizing extraterrestrial environments. In the course of studying the prescribed readings, students will be exposed to the key approaches to ethical decision making: principlist, consequentialist, duty-based and virtue-based. They will also be shown how they might potentially make use of both imaginative material (e.g. fictional depictions of space scenarios in film, TV or literature) and factual material (e.g. astronaut accounts of spaceflight, NASA policies, and popular science treatments of space exploration) in identifying ethical issues upon which to focus their subsequent research.
\r\n
\r\nUnit 2: Making a research proposal
\r\nDrawing on the resources they have developed in the first unit, students will write a brief research proposal describing the topic and scope of their proposed research project. The purpose of this exercise is to get students to commit to an approach, method, critique or set of ideas that they wish to explore in relation to the ethical issue they have chosen to address.
\r\n
\r\nUnit 3: Producing a research paper
\r\nAt this point in the semester, students have completed their annotated bibliography and research proposal. Building from these previous assignments, they will now undertake their own research project. The project will require them to develop a thesis with regard to how the issue they previously identified can best be addressed. Students will make use of material from scientific or social scientific sources to establish the practical parameters of the ethical problem they will attempt to address. Subsequently, they will engage with a relevant scholarly literature (e.g. from bioethics, environmental philosophy, social theory or law) to enable them to formulate their own defensible ethical positions.

The class will study service operations management from an integrated viewpoint with a focus on customer satisfaction. The material will integrate strategy, information technology, design thinking, and organizational issues. Beginning with the service encounter, service managers must blend marketing, technology, people, and information to achieve a distinctive competitive advantage. Outstanding service organizations are managed differently than their "merely good" competitors. Actions are based on totally different assumptions about the way success is achieved. The results show not only in terms of conventional measures of performance, but also in the enthusiasm of the employees and quality of customer satisfaction. Service firms have unique characteristics that challenge managers. For example, service firms are people-oriented because of the direct interaction with customers. Customers usually participate in the service process, often with direct and uncensored interactions with employees and facilities. The resulting variations in demand present a challenge to the operations manager to effectively use the perishable service capacity that results because production and consumption occur simultaneously. This simultaneity means that it is impossible to inventory services.

A variety of activities are expected: group discussions, WtA project, and participation in class. Groups of seven to nine students each working as a team will prepare the problem-based learning discussion and the group-project. There will be one in-class exam.
\r\n
\r\nDuring the second half of class each student group will discuss problems in a case or vignette which are assigned in prior class. The problems should serve as a starting point with additional insights being welcomed. All class members are expected to have read the case/vigette and reflected upon the assigned questions. Furthermore, class members are encouraged to apply concepts from the assigned readings to their analysis. Active participation is expected throughout the entire class with thoughtful contributions to advance the quality of the discussion. Please note that the frequency (i.e., the quantity) of your interventions in class is not a key criterion for effective class participation. The classroom should be considered a laboratory in which you can test your ability to convince your peers of the correctness of your approach to complex problems and of your ability to achieve the desired results through the use of that approach. Criteria that are useful in measuring effective class participation include:
\r\n (1)        Is the participant a good listener?
\r\n(2)        Are the points that are made relevant to the discussion? Are they linked to the comments of others?
\r\n(3)        Do comments show evidence of applying the concepts from the readings to the analysis of the problems?
\r\n(4)        Is there a willingness to test new ideas, or are all comments "safe" (e.g., repetition of facts in the materials without analysis and conclusions)?
\r\n(5)        Do comments clarify or build upon the important aspects of earlier comments and lead to a clearer statement of the concepts being covered and the problems being addressed?
\r\n
\r\nThe Walk-through-Audit (WtA) Project involves the selection of a service in which you prepare an audit questionnaire used by management to evaluate the service from the perspective of a customer. A project proposal (one paragraph e-mail) is due for approval by the sixth session of class with a bullet outline . A presentation of the project will be made during the last week of classes. A project report will be due on the last day of classes. A copy of the audit questionnaire, statistical analysis of the responses, and analysis of the gaps between management's perceptions and customer responses is expected in the report.

Underlying this is the question of performance; who defines it and what it means at local and global levels. Of these, vernacular solutions and indigenous knowledge speak of climate and context, shaping demand for resources and occupant well being. Technology and system-driven approaches dwell on the efficacies of resource and waste management. Integration of the two, selectively and critically, is critical to the future Green buildings in Asia. This module will examine from first principles the constituents of Green performance; it will contextualise these for tropical and subtropical conditions, addressing urban, suburban and rural typologies that are important to Asia.","Order":1},{"ID":"2e5f053b-8835-4692-be49-41f07234cfff","Title":"Prerequisites (What should I know?)","Description":"NIL","Order":2},{"ID":"a337cb69-c9cc-4425-a3dd-9d7af7b6cd97","Title":"Preclusions","Description":"NIL","Order":9},{"ID":"eee422be-08d5-470f-9f6c-a3bc79c08fe2","Title":"Workload","Description":"2-1-0-0-7

Energy, viewed as tonnes of GHG emissions, fundamentally alters the way in which we conceptualise buildings and cities. It demands a shift from quest for systemic energy efficiency to questions of how energy is produced, transmitted, utilised and reutilised. It extends beyond management of operational energy on-site to include energy consumed off-site; for instance, the sourcing of products, the assembly and disassembly of materials and building systems. This module paints the broad picture of energy in its various forms and guises, as it pertains to global warming, in the context of drawing-board decisions on buildings and neighbourhoods.","Order":1},{"ID":"2e5f053b-8835-4692-be49-41f07234cfff","Title":"Prerequisites (What should I know?)","Description":"NIL","Order":2},{"ID":"4e5f053b-8835-4692-be49-41f07234cfff","Title":"Schedule","Description":"12 Aug 2013, Monday (Prof Karel Kabele and Dr Kua Harn Wei):

computational tools in industrial practice and research, it is important for students in the chemical engineering programme to gain a firm understanding and appreciation of the fundamentals of programming, algorithmic problem solving, coding and debugging. The final goal is to be able to apply these skills to solving realistic chemical engineering problems. MATLAB, a high-level computing language will be employed due to its capability to solve domain-specific computing problems more conveniently than with traditional programming languages. MATLAB also provides the platform to span a wide variety of application areas.","Order":1},{"ID":"2e5f053b-8835-4692-be49-41f07234cfff","Title":"Prerequisites (What should I know?)","Description":"A-level Mathematics or H2 Mathematics, Chemical Engineering students matriculated in and after AY2006/2007.","Order":2},{"ID":"4e5f053b-8835-4692-be49-41f07234cfff","Title":"Schedule","Description":"Schedule: Red: Steven, Blue: Saif, Green: TAs

The focus of the project will be some aspect of the Japanese language that we discuss in this course that has been shown to be difficult to acquire for foreign students (and other non-native speakers of Japanese who are not linguistics majors!). Your task is to design a lesson to help Japanese language learners to improve their skills in this selected area. You will then present your project to the class. Depending on the size of the class, you may work in pairs.

\n\t\tThe project topic must be approved by the instructor by Oct 7.
\n\t\t
\n\t\tPresentation (Nov 4 & 11) Each student (or pair) has 15 minutes to present.

\n --- explain the linguistic problem and provide exercises to overcome this problem.
\n The purpose of your lesson can be to:\n

\n\t\tImprove perception of some linguistic feature
\n\t\tImprove production of correct form
\n\t\tIncrease awareness of a certain linguistic phenomenon
\n\t\t
\n\t\tWritten report (due on Nov 14, 5 pm) Length: 6 pages (1300 to 1500 words) double-spaced. Use font size 12 of Times or the equivalent. You should attach your actual exercise handout as appendix.

\n The paper should include:
\n

\n\t\tAppropriate title (Be sure your title accurately reflects the content of your paper)
\n\t\tDescription of the problem (state why it is difficult for YOU)
\n\t\tAnalysis of the problem / solution for the problem (your grasp on the issue)
\n\t\tDesign of the lesson (what is focused on in your lesson)
\n\t\tYour rationale for the lesson (Why your exercise helps to overcome that particular problem)

Through a consideration of various works, major developments in Japanese animation will be examined, such as Tezuka Osamu’s efforts in introducing adult-oriented themes in theatrically released animation in the late 1960s and early 1970s. The development of overlapping aesthetic values, production and distribution systems in the anime industry will be evaluated for its shaping influence in contemporary animation.","Order":1},{"ID":"2e5f053b-8835-4692-be49-41f07234cfff","Title":"Prerequisites (What should I know?)","Description":"NIL","Order":2},{"ID":"4e5f053b-8835-4692-be49-41f07234cfff","Title":"Schedule","Description":"12 August

\n\t\tAttendance and Participation: This module emphasizes individual reading exercise outside of the classroom, as reading is a solitary activity. Students are thus required to read all the materials assigned each week at home. The classroom discussion is for clarification. Always bring questions in terms of grammar, words, and phrases which you encounter while you read. Each week, some of you will be asked to present a summary of the assigned reading in the class. Prepare handouts if necessary.
\n\t\t
\n\t\tHomework: Each student must submit a summary of the assigned article(s) (no more than 150 words) on IVLE by Tuesday and must bring a copy of that summary to class without exception. Late submissions will not be accepted.
\n\t\t
\n\t\tQuizzes: A short quiz may be given each week on the assigned readings.
\n\t\t
\n\t\tMidterm (October 11).

\nThe midterm will consist of a reading comprehension test regarding the assigned articles. You are allowed to use a dictionary during the exam.
\n

\n\t\tProject

\n\t\tThis project is designed to provide a good foundation for your honor’s thesis or research paper, through the hands-on experience of selecting articles, reading with purpose, and summarizing the articles.

\nStep 1: Find a research topic in any area you are interested in (e.g., history, business, anthropology, etc.) by September 2, so that you can start your project during our library tutorial.
\n
\nA written proposal of the final project (due September 13) should include:
\n(1) The area of discipline (Linguistics, Anthropology, History, Gender Studies, etc.) and
\n(2) The specific topic you are interested in (should be as specifically narrowed and defined as possible)
\n
\nStep 2: At the library tutorial, you will learn how to use Japanese search engines to
\nfind relevant academic journal articles written in Japanese on your research topic. You can start reading the first article you retrieve to get to know the topic, and from the reference list, you will find more relevant articles.
\n
\nStep 3: Once you are more focused and familiarized yourself with the topic, you can select relevant articles and start collecting them or ordering through DDS.
\nYou should find at least 5-7.
\n
\nStep 4: Out of 5 to 7 articles, choose 4 most relevant articles (by the end of the Midterm break). Read them carefully. Consult the instructor if you are having trouble selecting or understanding.
\n
\nStep 5: Write a 150 word “true summary” for each of them (in English).
\n
\nStep 6: Submit 2 summaries (150 words each) on October 21 by e-mail.
\n
\nStep 7:
\n

\n\t\tPresentation (Nov 15)

\nEach student has 10 minutes to present the paper. State:
\n

\n\t\tYour research topic and rough outline of your paper (what you are trying to do in that paper).
\n\t\tPresent the 4 articles you selected and explain how you are going to use them in your research (to back up your argument, to show a possible counter argument, to give a summary of existing research, etc.).
\n\t\t
\n\t\tFinal Report (due on Nov 16)\n\t\t
- \n\t\t\t\tSubmit your 4 Japanese articles with the other 2 250 word “true summaries” in English, written in a way that makes it clear to me that you have read the entire articles and are not just paraphrasing the articles’ abstracts.
- \n\t\t\t\tIn your final report, in addition to the summaries, add an explanation for each article describing:\n\t\t\t\t
  - \n\t\t\t\t\t\tAuthor’s position (E.g., Author is a sociologist who analyzes/argues X)
  - \n\t\t\t\t\t\tWhat you have gained from reading the article (E.g., What new thing I have learned about the current problem of X, and/or how one can analyze X by doing Y).

It is a language with few difficult sounds and a straightforward grammar. In a few weeks, you will find that you are already able to communicate in Indonesian as well as to write short composition using the language.

\n\tIn a language module, it is crucial to ensure that enough practice opportunity and attention will be given to each individual student.
\n\t
\n\tLanguage is acquired through practice, individually and corporately; thus, there will be emphasize on pair or group activity in order to maximize learning. Hence, maintaining small group format will greatly facilitate this process. Once a student has been assigned to his/her respective group, s/he cannot move to a different group. This is to maintain the small group dynamic mentioned earlier.

\n\tWe want to avoid cases whereby some groups become larger than others because of students’ moving from group to group. Also, being punctual and consistent is crucial in language classes. If one student comes more than 15 minutes after the class starts, s/he will be counted as absent.

\nLearning a new language is never complete without knowing and learning about the culture of that language as this will lead to deeper understanding of the people.

’s diverse culture and society. In order to study a foreign language well, it is not enough to learn only from a textbook, but that students also need to make every attempt to get first-hand experience of its culture and people.

Concepts emphasized in the lectures are complemented by hands-on use of bioinformatics tools in the practicals. Students will achieve highly valued skills as biological researchers with basic competence in computational and bioinformatics techniques, with proper foundation to learn more advanced skills in bioinformatics and biocomputing.","Order":1},{"ID":"3e5f053b-8835-4692-be49-41f07234cfff","Title":"Teaching Modes","Description":"Lectures are scheduled for a total of two hours each week from 1000–1200 Each lecture will end by 1140, and will include a break at roughly 1050. Most of the concepts of the subject will be introduced in the lectures, but many lectures will also include interactive exercises. All lectures will be webcast except for the 7 October lecture which will be held in the practical location. Student participation is strongly encouraged through exercises and regular feedback requests.
\n
\nPracticals (or laboratory sessions) are scheduled for — and will not exceed — four hours, from 1400–1800, on the same day as the lecture. Practicals are conducted in a computer laboratory, providing hands-on problem-solving experience with the tools of bioinformatics. Practicals are composed of a mix of activities: a portion consists of guided problems, and the remainder inquiry-based learning. The inquiry-based learning component, new this semester, will allow students to explore a range of approches to authentic bioinformatics problems. Student participation in practicals is required; active participation in the guided problems will strengthen the inquiry-based work, which forms a significant portion of the total assessment.
\n
\nContinuous Assessment. There will be two forms of Continuous Assessment, designed to help students develop and build skills in solving bioinformatics problems.
\n
\nThe first, different this semester, will be written assignments based on the inquiry-based work conducted during the practical. Each assignment will be based on two weeks of practical activities, and there will be three such assigments during the semester. Students will be provided detailed criteria for excellence for each assignment, as well as an opportunity to seek clarification on the CA. The first two assignments will be submitted by individuals, the third will be done in student teams.
\n
\nThe second will be a midterm composed primarily of multiple choice questions (MCQs). These will address material covered to that point in the semester. Correct answers, along with model solutions to any written questions, will be provided after the CA.

\r\nOverall objective of the module is to develop a broad understanding of insect macro- and micro-evolution, including the roles insects play in natural and human modified environments, with skills in identification and classification, and so be competent in an entomological technical role for government or industry. The major topics to be covered include:
\r\n

\r\n\t\tIntroduction insects and related terrestrial invertebrates
\r\n\t\tBody plan and anatomy, with life histories.
\r\n\t\tMacroevolution over geological time.
\r\n\t\tUse of dichotomous keys for identification
\r\n\t\tCollecting insects in air, from plants, from litter, in soil and in water.
\r\n\t\tQuantifying sampling for diversity and biomass.
\r\n\t\tDifferences between natural and human modified environments.
\r\n\t\tPreparing insect samples for identification, curation or for molecular analysis.
\r\n\t\tEcological functions, with emphasis on co-evolutionary history with plants and animals.
\r\n\t\tPestiferous insects: why they are pests, impacts.
\r\n\t\tControl strategies, including physical, chemical and biological.
\r\n\t\tDevelopment & use of insecticides, with microevolutionary impacts.
\r\n\t\tBeneficial insects & use in IPM strategies
\r\n\t\tForensic entomology

Students must wear appropriate protective clothing, including closed shoes and long pants. Hats, sun creen, insect repellent and water are recommended.
\r\n
\r\nCollecting equipment will be provided for the practical session and field trips. Students will be able to borrow some equipment to collect insects in their own time. Students may wish to purchase their own equipment, including specialist forceps, nets, jars, magnifying glasses or loupes.
\r\n
\r\nThe insect collection must be presented in an appropriate and suitable manner. Dried specimens should be presented pinned to display diagnostic features and labelled in boxes; wet specimens should be presented in ethanol (or similar preservative) in clear jars or vials. The presentation of the specimens (e.g. body undamaged, all body parts present, legs and wings spread) and the labelling (correct species identification, collection information, date etc) is most important. The display material (boxes and jars) are less important; they need to be suitable for the task. Therefore a simple cardboard box (e.g from packaging material) or plastic vials (e.g. from medicines) can be as suitable as crafted display cases from specialist entomological suppliers.

There are at least two advantages by adopting this slightly abstract point of view. First of all, it helps to crystallize fundamental concepts and elucidate the roles they play in the theory. Secondly, it provides a unified framework for applications of the results and techniques of mathematical analysis. This module will cover the basic theory of metric spaces and sample applications to other areas of mathematics. It is highly recommended to students majoring in pure mathematics and to those who are interested in applied mathematics with an analytical flavour. Major topics: Euclidean spaces, inner product and Euclidean norm. Metric spaces: definition, examples. Topological concepts: open sets and closed sets, subspaces, density and separability. Convergence of sequences, completeness, nowhere dense sets, Baires category theorem and applications. Continuity of functions and uniform continuity. Compactness: open covers, Heine-Borel Theorem, extreme value theorem. Equivalences of compactness, sequential compactness, and completeness and total boundeness. Connectedness, characterizations of subintervals of the real line, intermediate value theorem, path-connectedness. Contraction mappings, Banachs fixed point theorem and applications.

\r\n\tImportant points regarding Lectures:

\r\n

\r\n\t1. Please feel free to stop me while in doubt, there is no point for me to go on when many of you are indeed lost in the Bermuda Triangle.
\r\n\t2. Make sure that you are not falling behind. Once you are behind, you will not be able to follow the lecture, you will have to extra hard, you will end up spending more time then needed and it will be difficult for you to enjoy the course.
\r\n\t3. The main purpose of the lectures is not to cover as much material as possible, because you can always get them from your textbook or any other good references. The purpose of the lectures is to facilitate learning of the course material.
\r\n\t4. The success of the course requires mutual effort. Of course I need to do my part in planning for the lectures. However, I need constant feedback to proceed, for example, to adjust the speed of lecture, to provide more examples when necessary, to re-explain certain concept/proof, to provide different way in solving a problem. All these require your cooperation. Please feel free to send me your timely feedback to matcsk@nus.edu.sg
\r\n\t5. The emphasis of the course is again about the understanding and mastering the skill. There is indeed a number of computer algebra software's that can do most of the job. You need to be better than the machine by understanding how and why our method works!
\r\n\t6. Finally, work hard and make sure that you enjoy the course.

\r\n\t\t\t\tThe objective of this course is a deeper study of field theory, leading to Galois theory. We will use the following classical questions as motivations:
\r\n\t\t\t\t
\r\n\t\t\t\t(i) squaring a circle: is it possible to construct a square with the same area as a given circle, using straightedge and compass?
\r\n\t\t\t\t
\r\n\t\t\t\t(ii) trisecting an angle: is there a general algorithm to trisect aany given angle using ony straightedge and compass?
\r\n\t\t\t\t
\r\n\t\t\t\t(iii) solving the quintic by radicals: is there a formula, involving only +,-,X, / and radicals, which expresses the root of a degree 5 polynomial in terms of its coefficients? (This would generalize the well-known formula for quadratic equations).
\r\n\t\t\t\t
\r\n\t\t\t\tWe shall see how Field theory leads to the solution of (i) and (ii). The solution of (iii) was discovered by Evariste Galois around 1830, giving birth to what we now know as group theory. We shall give a detailed account of Galois theory, which gives a precise connection between field theory and group theory. The Main Theorem of Galois theory transforms problem (iii) to a question in group theory, where it can be solved readily.
\r\n\t\t\t\t
\r\n\t\t\t\tMajor topics: Field extensions, finite and algebraic extensions, automorphisms of fields, splitting fields and normal extensions, separable extensions, primitive elements, finite fields, Galois groups and Galois extensions, Main Theorem of Galois theory, roots of unity, norm and trace, cyclic extensions, solvable and radical extensions.

\n\t\t
\n\t\ta) Inform students of the key concepts and principles in biomedical ethics;
\n\t\tb) Enable students to be competent in the critical appraisal of bioethical arguments;
\n\t\tc) Allow students to develop an appreciation of basic legal foundations of medicine and research;
\n\t\td) Create a learning environment in which students are encouraged to engage with lecturers and peers;
\n\t\te) To develop reflective and critical awareness of the subject.
\n\t\t
\n\t\tAfter successfully completing this module, students will have knowledge of a broad range of influential theories in biomedical ethics, and will appreciate some exemplar approaches used in specific topics.
\n\t\t
\n\t\tOBJECTIVES:

\n\t

\n\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\tStudents will be able to construct coherent ethical arguments, both written and verbal.
\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\tStudents, equipped with relevant knowledge and skills, will be able to utilise their advanced training in ethics in their professional practice, or in pursuit of a career in academic bioethics.
\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\tStudents will be able to disseminate and communicate their training to colleagues and the wider public, thereby raising awareness of ethical issues faced in healthcare and research.

\n\tThe module is in three parts:

\n\t1. Staff-led Seminars

\n\tThe first part of the module comprises of a series of seven seminars on the topics, as set out in the course syllabus. Every week, a different topic will be presented by an expert in the field. This small-group setting provides an excellent forum for discussion and interactive learning. Preliminary reading is mandatory before each session, the details of which can be found listed in the appropriate IVLE workbin.

\n\t2. Student-led Seminars

\n\tThe second block of seminars is led by the students enrolled on the module. For bioethics students, this is an opportunity for you to develop ideas relevant to your graduate thesis . Non-bioethics students will be expected to present on an area relevant to bioethics; although they will be permitted to give presentations encompassing a broad range, so that philosophy, law, science or medicine may be the focus. In each session, students will present their research on a topic of their choice in the field of bioethics. Students are encouraged to make use of published literature and to begin to construct their ideas which will be used for their bioethics essay: “Assignment 2: Bioethics” (see below). The presentations will not be formally marked, although students will be given individual feedback on the conduct of their presentation. Students may make use of visual aids such as powerpoint, where they feel it is appropriate. Time should be reserved for group discussion and questions.

\n\tSatisfactory attendance at the all seminars and completing the presentation will contribute 10% of the final mark for this module.

\n\t3. Journal Club

\n\tThe Centre for Biomedical Ethics stages a periodical meeting where research will be presented by a local or visiting scholar.

\n\tA timetable will be available in the CBmE. Student attendance is mandatory and a register will be taken.

\n\t

\n\tRules and Regulations

\n\tNUS rules and regulations will be followed with relation to this module. These can be found on the registrar’s web page.

\n\tIn this integrated teaching programme, we aim to provide students with comprehensive theoretical knowledge of ethical and legal issues in clinical practice and biosciences.

\n\tIn the first part of the module, staff will lead seminars introducing key knowledge for this module. In the second part of the module, students will take over leading the seminars. In this part, students will be encouraged to develop critical academic reflection on ethical concepts. They will be expected to cultivate moral sensitivity and develop skills of critical thinking, ethical analysis, and inter-disciplinary dialogue. They will then be in a position to respond to tensions created in the clinical and community-wide settings.

\n\tWe provide skills in dialectics and construction of coherent moral arguments, both written and verbal. Students are expected to take an active participatory role in the seminars. Questions are encouraged!

\n\tEquipped with this knowledge and skills provided by this module, students will be able to utilise their introductory knowledge in law and ethics in their professional practice, or in pursuit of a career in academic bioethics.

\n\tStudents will be encouraged to disseminate and communicate their training to colleagues and the wider public, thereby raising awareness of ethical issues faced in healthcare and research.

\nIt is not expected that you have any background knowledge or past expertise in bioethics, medical ethics, law or philosophy. There will be students from different educational backgrounds, and we hope that each student will be encouraged to develop their analytical and bioethical knowledge at their own speed.
\n
\nYou should be prepared to take an active part in class discussions.
\n
\nYou should familiarise yourself with essay writing skills, as this is the predominant method of assessment on this module.

\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tGet\nadvice from the staff and use the web resources available to you. The\nNUS subscribes to a huge range of electronic journals: see the NUS\nlibrary link. A good way to start is to go to one of the required\nreadings for this module topic and study the reference list. Remember\nthat we expect you to summarise opposing viewpoints, so look for these\nearly on. In trying to understand a complicated piece, it is often\nuseful to write a summary or outline of the argument early on. \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tYou\nwill rarely read anything from start to finish unless it's a very short\narticle. For journal articles read the summary then jump to the\ndiscussion and conclusions section. These will give you an idea of\nwhether you need to read a piece fully. In the case of a book, always\nstart with the contents page and try to get a sense of the book as a\nwhole, then select parts that seem most relevant to your topic for\ncloser inspection. Beware of reading too superficially because you\ncould seriously misunderstand the argument as a whole! When taking\nnotes from reading, always write down the complete reference before you\nbegin.

\n\tCountless ideas are generated every second. But only a few are able to materialise as real brands. With the proliferation of a wide variety of brands, consumers today are spoilt by choices. New brands are the lifeblood of all businesses. It is essential for an organisation to develop new or modify existing brands to meet changing consumer needs and competitor’s actions. Investing in their development isn't an optional extra – it is crucial to long term business growth and profitability. But embarking on the development process is risky. It needs considerable planning and proper management.

The field of organisational behaviour covers a wide range of topics: organisational culture, motivation, decision making, communication, work stress and so on.

\n\tBusiness is of the community and by the community. What effect can and should business have on the communities in which it operates? How, and to what extent, do businesses make social considerations in formulating their objectives, strategies, and profit-making activities? We shall examine a range of issues related to these questions including organisational leadership, employment relations, health and safety at work, marketing, environment, cross-sector partnerships and philanthropy. This module is designed around four inter-related themes/questions.

\n\t

\n\t1. What is a business for?

\n\tWe start by surveying the evolution of thinking about the relation between business and social conscience. We examine the assumptions that have underpinned different models of business.

\n\t2. What is a social conscience and why does it matter in business?

\n\tOur purpose will be to identify and improve our understanding of the elements of conscience, including ethics, responsibility and values. The social nature of business is also explored.

\n\t3. Having a conscience is not enough

\n\tWe shall learn how to integrate social conscience into business systems, processes, functions and outcomes.

\n\t4. New forms of business

\n\tWe trace the recently evolved forms of business in which conscience is at the nucleus – social businesses and social-purpose organisations or fourth sector organisations.

\n\tClasses will be conducted in a seminar format. The course will be learner-centered. I will set norms of openness, participation and preparedness because much of the learning in this course will be through peer- and self-learning. Before each class, you will be given a set of questions to think about. To gain the most from each class, you should:

\n\t· Be prepared for all classes, having completed the readings and assignments.

\n\t· Be responsible for participating actively in class

\n\t· Be willing to question, think critically and learn from others.

\n\t

\n\tYou will also learn from the variety of readings and resources that we will examine throughout the course. Learning activities will include analyses of cases (local/regional and foreign), debates, critiques of papers, simulation/role-play and talks by invited speakers.

\n\t

\n\tOutside of classes, my main mode of communication with the class will be via IVLE and e-mail. It is your responsibility to check your NUS mailbox regularly, and to read the announcements, updates and other materials uploaded to IVLE.

\n\t

\n\tSome of the sessions will include group exercises as part of the learning process. You have a responsibility to the class to be prepared for the exercise and to show up for the class to play your part.

\r\n\tThis is to be done individually, on your own (i.e., without any help from others). The response paper requires you to think in-depth about the assigned readings for this course, and to write your cognitive and intellectual responses to ONE of the readings. The purpose of the assignment is to facilitate, sharpen and clarify your thinking by organizing and writing your thoughts. In the process, you will make your own judgments and be more conscious of the basis for them.

\r\nHow should I write the response paper?
\r\nA response paper should describe your intellectual response to the paper. You should give a short overview of the paper or chapter, and then go on to discuss its major points.
\r\nYou may wish to use the following questions as a guide.
\r\nWhat are the aims of the paper? What questions does it set out to answer? Analyse the arguments. How logical are they? How strong is the evidence for them? What assumptions have been made? To what extent do you agree or disagree with the author’s assertions? Why? Discuss the implications of the author’s arguments. How would you improve the paper or chapter? Are there areas that should be further explored, addressed, discussed in a more balanced way, clarified or qualified? How might other authors that we have read respond to or criticize this paper? Close by summarizing your response to the paper. What insights has it given you? In your arguments, refer to specific parts of the paper that you are analyzing; and be sure that you can justify your conclusions.
\r\nType your response paper using double spacing, one-inch margins and font size 12. Check grammar and spelling. Make sure you acknowledge all sources if you cite any other works. You may use any standard referencing and citation style: see http://www.lib.nus.edu.sg/lion/s/citation.html. Just be consistent – adopt one style and use it throughout.
\r\nAnother good writing reference is the Harvard Expository Writing Programme:
\r\nhttp://writing.fas.harvard.edu/icb/icb.do
\r\nYour response paper should not exceed 1600 words.
\r\nThe deadline for each paper is 11 p.m., the day before the class session for which the reading is scheduled. Submissions should be done electronically to the IVLE workbin.
\r\n
\r\nPlease remember to type your name in your document and to name the document as:

\r\n\tGroup Project and presentation 35%
\r\n\t
\r\n\tIn this assignment, you will select one organization and conduct an in-depth study into how well it has incorporated social conscience into its work.
\r\n\t
\r\n\tBased on your project, you will write a report and make a presentation. The presentation is due on the last or second last class session, depending on when your group will be scheduled for presentation. To write the report, refer to the directions given below.
\r\n\t
\r\n\tSubject A
\r\n\tYou will do an in-depth analysis of how one organization (of your choice) has incorporated social conscience into its work. Based on your analysis you should give an evaluation. Read widely to identify possible companies to write about. For instance, you may want to consider how well Apple has incorporated environmental factors into its strategy and operations, and after your analysis give Apple a grade of A, B, C, D or F. As another example, you may want to study how well Khoo Teck Puat Hospital has incorporated employee health and well being into its operations, reward systems and so on. Do not try to evaluate a company on all aspects of social conscience. If you do you might not be able to finish the report on time! Select one to three aspects of social conscience and conduct an analysis based those.
\r\n\t
\r\n\tMake sure that the topic you have selected is substantial and interesting. Use the web, media, books and journals, library and other resources. You may also conduct fieldwork and interviews of the relevant organisations to collect data, although this is not necessary.
\r\n\t
\r\n\tProject report
\r\n\tYou may use the following questions as a guide to writing the report.
\r\n\t

\r\n

\r\n\t\tWhat is the company’s background? (Make this brief. Any other information that is interesting but not directly useful to the case can be shown in an appendix).
\r\n\t\tWhich aspect(s) of social conscience are you choosing to focus on? Why is it relevant and important to the company?
\r\n\t\tWhat are the criteria that you are using to assess the aspects of social conscience?
\r\n\t\tWhat data are you using to make your assessment?
\r\n\t\tGive your assessment and suggest how the company could do better in future. (NOTE: It does not have to be completely positive. I am not asking you to study only shining examples. That would be too boring. The most interesting cases are those that are mixed: companies who have tried but perhaps could do better)
\r\n\t\tWhat are the main learning points?

\r\n
\r\nThis report should be submitted at 11.59 pm of the last day of this module. The main text should not exceed 2500 words. Aside from the main text, your report should also include a complete list of references naming all the sources that you used. You may also any other appendices you judge necessary. The reference list and appendices will not count towards the length limit. You may use any standard referencing and citation style: http://libguides.nus.edu.sg/content.php?pid=165681&sid=1397326
\r\nJust be consistent – adopt one style and use it throughout.
\r\nAnother good writing reference is the site, “Harvard Guide to Using Sources” http://usingsources.fas.harvard.edu/icb/icb.do
\r\n
\r\nType your report using double spacing, one-inch margins and font size 12. Check grammar and spelling.
\r\nAt the end of your report, please give a short description how each group member contributed to the project. At the last class of the semester, you will be asked to do a peer evaluation of the performance and contribution of all the members in your project group.
\r\n
\r\nPresentation
\r\nPlan for a presentation that lasts 20 minutes. This will be followed by questions from the class. Focus on the main points – you don’t have to repeat everything in the report. You may use any format for the presentation: role play, debate, seminar, interaction with the class, etc. Be as creative as you like.
\r\nBring a copy of whatever you have read in preparation for this case, to class. You will need it to answer questions and verify facts.
\r\n
\r\n

\r\n\tChecklist of items to submit

\r\nPlease upload these to the the IVLE Project workbin by 11.59 p.m. the day of the last class session:
\r\n

\r\n\t\tSoft copy of presentation materials (e.g., slides).

\r\n
\r\nPeer review
\r\nAt the end of the semester, you will be asked to do a peer review of members of your project group. You will also review the other groups’ project presentations.
\r\n
\r\nEnjoy working on your project and presentation!

Effective commercialization requires engineers to think about a product’s value proposition, customers, method of value capture, scope of activities, and method of strategic control. By providing good theory, examples, and cases, this module helps students define these necessary aspects of commercialization and the changes that are occurring in industry that facilitate commercialization. These changes include standards, vertical disintegration, open innovation, and open science.
\n
\nThe course combines my knowledge of the academic literature (more than 15 years as a professor) on technology and innovation management with my almost 10 years experience as a manufacturing/design engineer/researcher, an academic consultant to many companies particularly in the mobile phone industry, and my lifetime interest in the histories of high-technology industries. The course covers a broad number of high-tech industries (particularly those that involve electronics and electro-mechanical technologies) including mobile phones, materials, semiconductors, computers, software, the Internet, telecommunications, automobiles, broadcasting, video games, music, videos, software, and medical equipment.
\n
\nAll of the lecture slides are available on the IVLE before class sessions and most of them are currently available. The slides are labled by week (e.g., TMS 1) and sometimes by the order in which they are presented during the week (e.g., TMS 1.1 and TMS 1.2).

The participation grade will depend on attendance and actual participation in class discussions. Cases are an important place for class discussion. For the cases, please see the questions below the schedule on the IVLE. Cases are always done on Tuesdays. You might have to look for information in other sources. During the case discussions (five of them), I may ask specific people for their views on the case. If you cannot give good answer or if it appears that you have not prepared, your participation grade will suffer. But I will be more lenient towards end of semester when i know that you are busy.
\n
\nCases are also important for the final exam. The questions on the exam will ask you to apply concepts from the module to cases that we have covered in the module. the exam will be open book.
\n
\nGroup presentations will be evaluated in terms of creativity (40%), thoughtful analysis (30%), and relevant application of ideas covered in this module (30%). The creativity grade reflects both the choice and analysis of a topic. Projects that address interesting and unusual topics (that preferably draw on the unique knowledge of team members) will be graded higher in terms of creativity than projects that address well-known topics such as the i-Pod, Wii, wireless electricity, or i-Phone or that summarize one of your company’s internal projects. I encourage you to choose an innovation that is currently being implemented or its implementation is being currently being considered and to focus on a specific firm or firms that are associated with this innovation. Don’t just describe a firm’s existing business model. Tell me why the business model is good or even better, tell me about a better business model.
\n \n

\n\tFor the relevant application of ideas covered in this module, your grade will partly depend on how well you describe and justify a business model for a specific technology and firm using the ideas from this module. This is complicated by the fact that there are many terms used in the business world (much more than in the engineering world). To help you understand these terms, most lectures will address how the ideas covered in this module can and should be applied to the individual and group reports and will provide many examples of new technologies and how the ideas might be applicable to these new technologies. I stress might because there is much uncertainty about the future. in other words, there is no one right answer. But you will be graded on how well you can apply the ideas from this module to the specific technology and its business model.
\n\t
\n\tFor your grade on thoughtful analysis, it will depend on how effectively you analyze the business model-related choices that the firm(s) face, how well you make recommendations about these choices, and how consistent your recommendations for each element of the business model are. Your goal should be to produce a presentation that would be of interest to people in the relevant industry. For more details on the assessment of group presentations, see the first session's slides.

\r\n\tThe aim of this module is to introduce the disciplines needed to systematically organise and manage R&D in a globalized high-tech industrial organization. In addition to learning current best practices, students will be exposed to the emerging need to incorporate knowledge management and new organization designs to cope with rapidly changing and discontinous innovations in order to achieve continuous growth.

\r\n

\r\n\t
\r\n\tThe first part of this module will introduce the 3rd generation R&D practice which is used currently by all large successful industrial organizations. The strategic role of R&D in innovation, organization issues in R&D, the evaluation of returns and risks and the increasing opportunity in open innovation will be presented.

\r\n

\r\n\t
\r\n\tThe second part of this module will introduce the emerging 4th generation R&D practice which will augment the current practice in addressing new issues / opportunities owing to discontinous innovation.

\r\n\tClass Participation (20%)
\r\n\t
\r\n\tThis is NOT class attendance. You are expected to analyze case study assignments and contribute to class discussions.
\r\n\tImportant: No marks are subtracted if you say something "wrong". This helps other students clarify their misconceptions. However, if you do not say anything at all, it does not help you. If you find something to say, no matter how silly, raise your hand. Class participation helps you build self-confidence and improve your ability to articulate your views.
\r\n\t
\r\n\tTerm Papers (40%)
\r\n\tEach student must write one brief term paper. The topic will be assigned by the instructor. It is usually a case analysis and includes questions encompassing many issues discussed in class.

\r\n

\r\n\t\t
\r\n\t\t\tThe paper should be 5-7 pages long.
\r\n\t
\r\n\t\t
\r\n\t\t\tYou will be graded on relevant applications of ideas covered in this course, thoughtful analysis and creativity.
\r\n\t
\r\n\t\t
\r\n\t\t\tThis is an individual assignment - do not discuss it with anyone else or get other people to help you.
\r\n\t

\r\n

\r\n\tSpecifications for all written assignments: A4 size, margins of 1'' on all sides, fonts no smaller than 11-points. Line spacing should be 1.5 or 2 lines to facilitate grading. Please include proper references to any papers / books/ websites/ reports that you cite in your work. No late assignment will be graded. Plagiarism will be severely punished.

\nGrading
\n
\n

\n\t\tClass Participation 10%
\n\t\tIndividual Case Analysis (due Week 7) 25%
\n\t\tExam (Week 11) 25%
\n\t\tGroup Project (Week 13) 30%
\n\t\tGroup Class Activity 10%

\nIndividual Work
\n
\n1. Class Participation (10% grade): This includes both attendance and class participation
\n

\n\t\tAttendance (5% grade): Attendance sheet will be circulated in class. Please do not mark it for your friends.
\n\t\tClass Participation (5% grade): You are expected to analyze the readings and cases and contribute to class discussion. You are graded on quality rather than quantity.

\n
\nIf you missed class for a valid reason and inform me beforehand, you can make up by writing an online paper on the topic missed within a week. Please submit it to the folder Absent_Makeup folder in IVLE workbin. Please do mention your full name and matric number in the file that you upload. Depending on the quality of the submission you can get anywhere between 0-5/10 for Class Participation for the class that you missed. Please note that attendance (5%) is anyway not accounted for those who missed the class. So please try to attend the classes regularly because we have lot of fun elements in class.
\n
\nImportant: No marks are subtracted if you say something "wrong". This helps other students clarify their misconceptions. However, if you don't say anything at all, it doesn't help you. If you have something to say, no matter how silly, raise your hand. Class participation is crucial because it helps you build self-confidence. If you want to be an entrepreneur or manager, you must be able to articulate your case convincingly to venture capitalists and others.
\n
\n2. Individual case analysis & Exam (50% grade): Apart from class participation, individual assessment comprises of two other components (a) Individual cases analysis, which should be submitted by Week 7 and (b) In-Class exam that will be conducted in Week 11.
\n
\nIndividual case analysis (25% grade): Each student must write analysis of an assigned HBR case. The case and questions to be analyzed will be distributed in class before the mid-term break. On Week 7, students are expected to submit their analysis report to IVLE workbin.
\n
\nThe analysis should not exceed 5 pages in length. Figures, tables etc can be provided as additional pages. Please use 1'' margin, font size greater than 11-points, and 1.5 spacing to ease the evaluation process.
\n
\nThe evaluation will be on (a) application of ideas covered in the course (10%), thoughtful analysis (10%) and creativity (5%).
\n
\nSince this is part of individual assessment, please do not discuss with your classmates. Do not copy from online reports as well. Plagiarism will be severely punished.
\n
\nExam (25% grade): This will be conducted in week 11. This is a closed book exam that will test your understanding of basic concepts and frameworks discussed in the module and their application.
\n
\n
\nGroup Work
\n1. Group Project (30% grade) Students will be assigned to groups. Each group will propose a project relevant to the topics covered in class. The project should analyze a real-world innovation, preferably drawing upon the experiences of team members and frameworks discussed in class. Students may conduct interviews with company executives to collect data.
\n

\n\t\tA one-paragraph proposal is due by week 8.
\n\t\tA final report is to be submitted in week 13 (20% grade) and presentation to be made by group in week 13 (10% grade). The final report should not exceed 30 pages and presentation should not exceed 15 minutes. The criteria for evaluating the group project is application of concepts covered in class, thoughtful analysis and creativity. For the report, line spacing should be 1.5 or 2 to facilitate grading. Please include proper references to any papers/books/websites/reports that you cite in your work. Plagiarism will be severely punished.

\n2. Group Class Activity (10% grade) Last few minutes of each class will typically comprise of group activity. After lecture, questions will be assigned to each group and time will be alloted to discuss as a group. Questions could be either related to case that is assigned for that class or could be related to critical analysis of frameworks/concepts covered in class. Case related discussion is trivial, which you should be aware of. At the end of the discussion, each group is expected to present answers to the questions assigned to them. Application of concepts covered in class (4%), thoughtful analysis (4%) and creativity (2%) are the grading criteria for this group activity.
\nCritical analysis is something new to this course, which is worth elaborating. For critical analysis, groups are expected to choose any concept/framework discussed in that class and critically analyze the same. At the end of the discussion each group is expected to give an informal presentation for about 5 minutes. The presentation can be in 3 forms
\n
\n(a) Discussing the limitations of the framework introduced in class and substantiate with suitable examples. If possible, suggest ways in which the framework could be extended to make it generalizable.
\n(b) Suggest interesting games using which the framework/concepts could be introduced to class
\n(c) Give examples from their real life experience (that are not discussed in class) that resonates with the concept/framework discussed in class
\n
\nGroup presentation in the first form-(a) will get the highest score, followed by (b) and then (c).

\n\t\t\t\t      The module is designed for both business and engineering students, both graduate and senior-level undergraduate ones, and both part-time and full-time ones who are interested in
\n\t\t\t\tsearching for new technological opportunities either as an entrepreneur or an employee of a large company. Senior-level undergraduate engineering students must have taken at least
\n\t\t\t\tone business class.
\n\t\t\t\t      The focus of this module is on technological change and how technological change creates opportunities for new products and services. Opportunities for a new technology partly
\n\t\t\t\tdepend on when a technology becomes economically feasible and thus offers the necessary performance and cost (i.e., value proposition) for a certain set of users. The timing of this
\n\t\t\t\teconomic feasibility partly depends on the technology’s potential for improvements in cost and performance. Technologies with a large potential for improvements in cost and performance
\n\t\t\t\tare more likely to become economically feasible than are other technologies. Two broad methods of improvements are discussed and applied to a wide variety of technologies.
\n\t\t\t\t      Group projects are the focus of this module. Students will form their own groups and each group will choose and analyze one technology. Although students are free to propose any
\n\t\t\t\ttechnology, the lectures will focus on 1) Integrated circuits; 2) MEMS; 3) bio-electronics; 4) nanotechnology; 5) 3D printing; 6) lighting, lasers and displays; 7) any kind of electronic system
\n\t\t\t\tsuch as telecommunications and computers; 8) human-computer interfaces; 9) superconductivity; 10) wind, solar, and other energy.
\n\t\t\t\t The number of students per group will depend on the number of students in the module. If there are about 50 students, each group will consist of 4 to 6 students. If there are about
\n\t\t\t\t40 students, each group will consist of 3 to 5 students. Each presentation should cover the following items:
\n\t\t\t\t1)      Important dimensions of performance and cost, i.e., customer needs, for the new technology
\n\t\t\t\t2)      Comparison of new and old technologies with respect to cost and dimensions of performance
\n\t\t\t\t3)      Time series data on improvements in the cost and performance of “system” and “components”
\n\t\t\t\t4)      Is there a potential for further improvements?
\n\t\t\t\t5)      Reasons why the new technology has superior performance and cost, now or in future
\n\t\t\t\t6)      Types of entrepreneurial opportunities that may emerge for different market segments
\n\t\t\t\t       We will cover each of these items in Sessions 1 and 2. Sessions 3 through 10 will cover the specific technologies listed above. Some of these presentations will be done by myself
\n\t\t\t\tand others will be done by guest speakers. I will provide groups with feedback in Session 11 and groups will make their presentations in Sessions 12 and 13.
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t   Key deadlines include:

Presentations will be graded on creativity (40%), thoughtful analysis (40%), and the relevant application of ideas covered in this course (20%). The grade on creativity will reflect both the choice and analysis of a topic. Presentations that address interesting and unusual topics (that preferably draw on the unique knowledge of team members) will be graded higher in terms of creativity than presentations that address well-known topics such as the i-Pod, Wii, i-Phone, or Wireless Electricity. The grade on thoughtful analysis will reflect how effectively the presentation analyzes the relevant technological changes.
\n In general, presentations that refer to reports or technical journals will receive better grades than will presentations that only use Wikipedia, Answers.com, slideshare.net, or HowStuffWorks.com. Although I recommend that groups start their research with such sites as use Wikipedia, Answers.com, and HowStuffWorks.com, groups should go much further than this in their analysis. Second, groups should look for reports and presentations on the technologies where slideshare.com is a good resource. However, presentations that go beyond such easy to find sources and analyze technologies in greater depth will receive better grades than presentations that only use these easy to find sources.
\n The grading of one-page write-ups will be done in a manner similar to how the presentations are graded in that creativity, thoughtful analysis, and the application of concepts are emphasized. The key difference for “descriptions of opportunities for technologies that are covered in Sessions 3 to 10” is that the grades will reflect the extent to which the write-up identifies opportunities for technologies that are covered in Sessions 3 -10. The key difference for an “analysis of one group presentation in less than one page” is that the grade will reflect the extent to which the write-up identifies other opportunities not covered in the group presentations.

\n\t\t\t\t\t\tThis course will cover the techniques of improvisation found in European Art Music as well as the music of other cultures. Lectures will present techniques and examples of improvisations during various periods and cultures. In the tutorials, students will play exercises in a variety of textures that will help them to develop an improvisation vocabulary on their instruments. Students will then form a contemporary improvisation ensemble and plan and prepare a final performance in a public venue.

\n\t\t\t\t\t\tThe purpose of the class is to develop an understanding of and gain experience with improvisation. You will learn how improvisation has been a part of music in various styles and cultures. Through the exercises and projects, it is expected that students will develop greater understanding of how music is constructed and the ability to apply that knowledge in improvised performances. Students will also earn how to critique improvisations.

\n\tBasics - Complete before the end of week 1.

\n\t1. Create a Wiki Page

\n\t a. Go to the Student pages section of the Improv Wiki and create a new page

\n\t b. Name the page with your name

\n\t c. Add a link to your page on the Student Pages home page.

\n\t2. Create a Sound Cloud account

\n\t Upload all audio files to this account and set them to “private.”

\n\t3. Create a YouTube or Vimeo account

\n\t Upload all video files to this account and set them to “unlisted.”

\n
\n

\n\tProcedure

\n\tSome assignments will be completed during the tutorials and others will be completed outside of class and for some, both. For each assignment, you will be expected create a header that includes the name of the assignment and the date. Provide a link to the audio or video file. Then discuss the assignment and your performance. Explain what you did, what you were trying to do, what worked and what didn’t.

\n
\n

\n\tCriteria

\n\tIn improvisation, you should learn something every time you do it, even if you aren’t satisfied with the actual performance. Use your discussion to demonstrate your understanding.

\n
\n

\n\tAssessment is based on the performance (50%) and the process you used (50%). Your discussion of the process and reflection on the performance will be used as the basis for the process grade.

\n\t\t
\n\t\t\tDescribe what you were trying to do, what happened, what worked, what didn’t and what you might do differently next time. The more you demonstrate understanding of the process, the better your grade will be.
\n\t
\n\t\t
\n\t\t\tExceptional videos or audios will receive better grades.
\n\t
\n\t\t
\n\t\t\tExceptional layout and design of the wiki will also be reflected in better grades.
\n\t
\n\t\t
\n\t\t\tMake sure the audio or video quality is good. Do not post distorted audio or inaudible. Video must be oriented correctly. Trim videos so only the performance is heard.
\n\t
\n\t\t
\n\t\t\tA general rubric will be developed in class for use in self-evaluation. Please refer to it in class.

\n\t\t\t\t\t\tHomework: All work will be completed using computer software. Late work will not be accepted without an official excuse. Those with an official excuse must turn in their work or make up an in class assignment/pop quiz by the next class after the excused absence. It is the student's responsibility to make arrangements with the instructor. Please note that NUS policies and procedures do not allow students to make up final exams.

\n\tStudents who take NM2219 are expected to:
\n\t
\n\t1. Read the assigned readings before coming to lecture.
\n\tYou will understand the lecture much better and save yourself a lot of revision time later on.
\n\t
\n\t2. Work consistently throughout the semester.
\n\tStudents who try to catch up on their readings/case studies just before the exams tend to score poorly, do not retain their knowledge for long and do not enjoy their learning journey in this module.
\n\tBe smart and kind to yourself: work consistently.
\n\t
\n\t3. Attend lectures and tutorials regularly and punctually.
\n\tYou are expected to turn up for ALL lectures and all tutorials.
\n\t
\n\t4. Be active participants during tutorial discussions.
\n\tIn this course, you will learn the importance of maintaining 2-way symmetrical communication. Likewise, as audience to your tutor or fellow classmates during tutorial discussions, you are expected to ask questions and give constructive comments. You are always welcome to share your thoughts in the IVLE forum.
\n\t
\n\t5. Maintain open communication with the lecturers and TAs.
\n\tOne lesson you will learn in this module is that feedback is very important to the PR practitioner. The NM2219 teaching staff always want to hear from you. We are always willing to listen to any suggestions or complaints throughout the semester. Bring problems to our attention as soon as they emerge. Do not wait until the semester ends when it is far too late to resolve them. You can also use the anonymous feedback system on IVLE anytime during the semester.

Rather, the lectures (and in-lecture exercises) will assume that student have already read the week’s paper before the week’s lecture.","Order":9},{"ID":"a04201c2-1be9-4196-9980-a0f63ad56c36","Title":"Practical Work","Description":"In addition to attending module lectures, all students are expected to attend and actively participate during the tutorials – and in online discussions in the IVLE module forum. Furthermore, there are a number of specific, regular activities expected of students in the module: reading, learning/using digital design tools, writing short “design reflection” essays, and, of course, creating, presenting, and discussing projects.
\n
\nAssignments and Projects
\nMost weeks there will be a short assignment, designed to give you some experience with creating interactive media. There will also be two projects, which are slightly larger assignments spanning across two weeks, and which involve a presentation in tutorial. For the assignments, tutorials and projects we will be using Snap/BYOB. This tool will be introduced during lecture, and you will learn how to use it by completing the assignments and tutorial exercises.
\n
\nAssignments are individual. The projects are team-based. In this module students do not self-select the members of their groups -- students will be assigned to teams by the instructor.
\n
\nWarning: students may not use a project they have created (or are creating) for another module as a project submission for this module. If students want to build upon a project they have created earlier, they need to: \n

\n\t\tseek approval from the module instructor before starting to work on the project
\n\t\tprovide information about other modules where the project has been submitted, and
\n\t\tclearly describe what is new about the project for this module (note that "what is new'' must be significant and must be equivalent in scope to other module projects that are not based on pre-existing projects)

\nReadings and reflections:
\nEach week there will be a short reading. Starting from week 3, each week you will write a short reflection. The reflection involves making a connection between a) the weekly reading and b) the weekly assignment.
\n
\nTutorials:
\nDuring the weekly tutorials, you will work together with your teammate on a short design and implementation exercise using Snap. These exercises are designed to help you work towards your project. At the end of each tutorial, groups will share their work with the rest of the class.
\n
\nNote that tutorial attendance is important. We are required to warn you for the first 2 absences from tutorial. Any subsequent absences will be reported to the department and the Dean’s office.","Order":10},{"ID":"374dd02f-00ff-422b-8621-5a640ee73237","Title":"Participation","Description":"All students are expected to actively participate in lectures, tutorial sessions, and in online forum discussions during the module.
\n
\nWarning! All students are expected to read and respond to email sent to their NUS email accounts.
\n
\nThis module makes heavy use of IVLE forums to answer questions, support discussions, and make important update announcements. Postings to the module forum are forwarded to NUS email accounts – and those are the accounts we will use if we need to contact students directly.
\n
\nIf students do not check/read mail sent to their NUS email accounts, the consequences may result in lower marks. In particular, students are like to be penalized if they do not respond promptly if we send them email (to their NUS email address). We cannot make exceptions and use other email accounts to contact students.
\n
\nNote: it is possible to have your NUS email “forwarded” to another email account. To do this, go to https://exchange.nus.edu.sg/ and click on the link for Email Redirection (bottom, left-hand side of the page). Then, follow the instructions.
\n
\nPlease be aware: students need to be responsible for their NUS email accounts. If a student does not read/delete mail from an NUS account (or have it forwarded to another account), the account may “fill up” and mail to the account may bounce. This means: even though a student may be able to send mails from the account, our replies to that account will not get through.
\n
\nTo be very clear: “I don’t read emails sent to my NUS account” will not be an acceptable reason for missing important module announcements, updates, etc.","Order":11},{"ID":"0fb46705-f5cc-49a1-9505-02b488dcf584","Title":"Workload","Description":"The official NUS policy is that student should expect to work an average of 10 hours/week in a 4MC module. For this module, students should expect to do roughly the following every week:\n

\n\t\t1.5 hrs/wk: Lectures
\n\t\t1.5 hrs/wk: Tutorial sessions
\n\t\t4.0 hrs/wk: Assignments / Project work
\n\t\t1.0 hrs/wk: Reading(s)
\n\t\t2.0 hrs/wk: Reflections (writing)

\nNote: this module is designed so that the work-load is about the same each week
\n
\n • If a student spends much less time on this module, it is almost certainly a sign the student will not do well.
\n • If a student spends much more time on this module each week, talk to your tutor: either you are doing more than we expect – or we have made the activities too time-consuming.
\n
\nSPECIAL WARNING about team-work and module-load
\n
\n

\n\tIn the past, we have had frequent complaints from students who had partners who were “too busy with other modules/activities” to contribute a fair share to the project work. In our experience, there is a strong correlation between a) students taking too many (more than 5) modules simultaneously, and b) poor contributions to team work in this particular module.

\n\t

\n\tSo, fair warning to everyone: students who are taking too many modules will be grouped together. (This means: if you are taking more than 5 modules this term, then you should expect to be on a team with someone taking more than 5 modules this term.)

\n\t

\n\tWe are not trying to discourage students from taking this module; and of course it is possible to successfully participate in this module while doing other things. However, every student should expect to contribute an equal/fair share to the group work.

\nYou are expected to turn up for ALL lectures and all tutorials. Attendance at tutorials for group presentations is mandatory even if your group is not presenting.
\n
\n5. Be active participants during tutorial discussions.
\nIn this course, you will learn the importance of maintaining 2-way communication. Likewise, as audience to your TA or fellow classmates during presentations, you are expected to ask questions and give constructive comments. You are always welcomed to share your thoughts on the IVLE forums.

To do this, we will be looking at some of the critical theory that has developed around games. And, in order to really appreciate the theoretical issues involved, we will also be doing a lot of hands-on work playing, designing, and analyzing games.
\n
\nNote: No programming or technical skill is required for this module, however students are encouraged to be independent problem-solvers. Also, it is not necessary to be an experienced game player to take this module. Students need to want to learn about interactivity, creativity, and games.
\n
\nDuring this module, students will learn
\n

\n\t\t to appreciate aspects of game-design, and
\n\t\t to apply actual design principles and techniques to the evaluation and creation of games.

\nWhat students should expect by the end of this module:
\n

\n\t\t A deeper appreciation of techniques used to develop games
\n\t\t An ability to apply those techniques to design games and improve existing ones
\n\t\t Familiarity with different types of classic computer and non-computer games
\n\t\t An improved ability to work on design projects in teams, coordinate the essential project activities, etc.

\n\t\tParticipate in the module's IVLE forum
\n\t\tRead weekly required readings and occasionally play related games
\n\t\tWrite 3 individual reflections based on the readings and games
\n\t\tTake part in short group design activities during lecture
\n\t\tTake part in ongoing work on projects during tutorials
\n\t\tComplete and submit one non-computer game and one computer game project. Project work will involve weekly milestones.

\nForum Participation
\nAll students are expected to actively participate in online forum discussions during the module. Note that any questions about the module should be posted in the forums, and all students are to subscribe to the module forum.
\n
\nReadings/games
\nThere is no reading package for this module. All module readings are available online, either as web links or library e-reserves. Please check the IVLE Lesson Plan for details. Be sure to complete the readings before class each week, as I will assume that everyone is familiar with the readings during the lecture and accompanying discussions.
\n
\nThere are also games to play each week. These should also be played before class so that you can follow the lecture and discussion. These will either be free online games, or traditional games for which you can easily find the rules online. Some of the traditional games will require 2 players, so plan ahead.
\n
\nReflections
\nThere will be three (3) short reflections to be submitted via IVLE. Each reflection will involve answering a specific question about that week's reading and one or more games. The reflection should be no more than 500 words and must be submitted via the IVLE “Assessment” mechanism by 5:00pm on Monday of the specified week. Please note that the assessment mechanism will automatically lock after that and students who do not post a reflection item will receive zero points for that reflection item.
\n
\nLecture design exercises
\nDuring each lecture, there will be a short group design exercise related to the lecture material. This exercise will be completed during the lecture session, and submitted on a piece of paper, together with the names of all group members, at the end of the lecture. These exercises will be short, will hopefully be fun, and will help to reinforce the topics covered during the lecture.
\n
\nTutorial activities
\nStarting in Week 3 there are weekly tutorial sessions. During these sessions we will present some techniques relevant to the particular stage of the current project, and then students will apply these techniques to their own in-progress projects.
\n
\nProject teams should:
\n

\n\t\tacquire and bring their own prototyping materials (paper, pens, tape, tokens, dice, etc.); and
\n\t\tbring their game-in-progress to each tutorial.

\nDuring the second half of the module, students should be prepared to bring their laptops to the tutorial sessons.
\n
\nProjects
\nDuring the module, students will work together in teams of 4-5 on two design projects. Project 1 (the first half of the module) will involve the design and creation of a non-computer game. Project 2 (the second half of the module) will involve the design and implementation of a computer-game.
\n
\nFor each project, teams will be expected to deliver:
\n

\n\t\tA final working implementation that people can use to actually play the game.
\n\t\tDocumentation about the project. Templates and examples of such documentation will be provided in the IVLE WorkBin.
\n\t\tA final presentation to the class (see below for details)

\nWeekly Project Milestones
\nEach week, every team will need to complete a small milestone that moves your project forward. Most of the work for this milestone can be completed during that week’s tutorial. Unless otherwise noted, team producers are expected to upload the results of the weekly milestone to the module IVLE workbin, by Friday 5:00pm of that week.
\n
\nProject Teams & Roles
\nStudents will work on their projects in teams of 4 members for Project 1, and 5 members for Project 2. The module lecturer will assign the members to teams. This will be done to distribute students with different backgrounds and skills evenly among the teams. Students will not be on the same teams during the two projects.
\n
\nFor Project 1, the division of roles required for teams of 4 people is as follows:
\n

\n\t\tProducer & Project Documentation (Process)
\n\t\tGame Designer & Writer (Game Instructions)
\n\t\tPrototyping and Content/Asset Development
\n\t\tQA/Testing

\n
\nFor Project 2, the division of roles required for teams of 5 people is as follows:
\n

\n\t\tProducer & Project Documentation (Process)
\n\t\tGame/UI Designer & Writer (Game Design Document)
\n\t\tGame/UI Programming
\n\t\tContent/Asset Development
\n\t\tQA/Testing

\nEach team is expected to identify which team members are responsible for which roles.
\n
\nSee the Guidelines for Team Roles document in the IVLE Workbin for details and suggestions.
\n
\nProject Presentations
\nThere will be two final project presentations during the module, one for Project 1 and one for Project 2.
\n

\n\t\tFor project presentations, it recommended only one team-member present the project.
\n\t\tAll presentation slides and presentation videos are due in IVLE by 8:00am on the day of the final presentations.

\nPLEASE NOTE: students will be expected to use the presentation materials (slides and video) they have uploaded. We will not allow people to use presentation materials they bring on a thumb-drive, laptop, etc.
\n
\nAll students in the module are expected to attend the final project presentations, and all students are expected to be respectful of the students presenting.
\n
\nNote that since Project 1 is due during week 5, which is e-learning week, project presentations for Project 1 will involve uploading a short video demonstration of gameplay, followed by discussion of the video in the IVLE forum. Details will be provided in the Project 1 brief.","Order":8},{"ID":"8e5f053b-8835-4692-be49-41f07234cfff","Title":"Assessment","Description":"This module is 100% CA (“continuous assessment”); there is no exam.

\n
\nWarning: students may not use a project they have created (or are creating) for another module as a project submission for this module. If students want to build upon a project they have created earlier, they need to:
\n

\n\t\tseek approval from the module instructor before starting to work on the project
\n\t\tprovide information about other modules where the project has been submitted, and
\n\t\tclearly describe what is new about the project for this module (note that "what is new'' must be significant and must be equivalent in scope to other module projects that are not based on pre-existing projects)

\nEach week there will be one or more readings. Some of these will be academic papers, and some will be examples of interactive stories. Be sure to read/play the readings before class each week, as I will assume that everyone is familiar with the readings during the lecture and accompanying discussions.
\n
\nNote that there is no reading packet for this module. All readings will either be found online, or in the library e-reserves. All interactive stories will also either be found online if possible, or instructions will be given as to where to access the works.
\n
\nAssignments and Project
\nThere will be five (5) short assignments in the earlier part of the module. These assignments will give you the opportunity to put into practice some of the ideas discussed in class, and to reflect on the connections between the practical work and the theoretical material in the lectures and readings. The project is a slightly longer assignment which will allow you to incorporate several of the concepts developed in the assignments, and will span over the last few weeks of the module. These assignments and the project will require you to write short, text-based interactive stories or story fragments using a simple, free tool called HypeDyn. The tool will be introduced during tutorial. The assignments and the project are text-based, and will not involve any artwork. The assignments and the project will be done individually.
\n
\nTutorials
\nStarting from week 3, the tutorials will consist of critiques of assignments and the project, and exercises which build on the weekly readings and lecture material. Tutorials will be graded based on attendance and participation.
\n
\nNote that tutorial attendance is important. We are required to warn you for the first 2 absences from tutorial.

Details of each section of the campaign planning process are given below.
\n
\nSITUATION ANALYSIS
\n
\nFirst, prepare your résumé and a cover letter to apply for a position on the team. Positions include director, assistant director, research director, media relations director, publications director, and general staff member. The résumé and the letter of application, addressed to your instructor, are due in IVLE by 5 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 23.
\n
\nOnce you are on a team, you will help analyse the situation that has led to the need for a public relations campaign. Your goal is to understand your client and the situation that needs a communication campaign. You should utilize a minimum of six sources.
\n
\n1. The Report
\n
\nYour team's narrative report should be about 8 to 12 pages, typed and double-spaced. Add a cover sheet and a bibliography. Include the following:
\n
\nThe Organisation: Describe origins, early history; what the organization is today, what it does and its basic mission (mission statement); the relationship of parent and any subsidiaries; numbers and types of key publics; geographical areas in which it operates; and any other information important to understanding the organization. Use the client’s existing publications, including its website(s), for sources (5-7 pp).
\n
\nThe Situation: Include the situation's background/history, including other communication already undertaken; the cause and relevant facts about the situation; its likely duration; its significance to the organisation; any known impediments to a solution; and the key publics most affected or involved, including other groups or organisations. Formulate a succinct problem statement. Describe how a communication campaign might help resolve the situation to the mutual benefits of all involved. Finally identify the proposed target audience and give its demographics. (3-5 pp).

\nENVIRONMENT SCANNING AND ISSUE TRACKING
\n
\nEach member of your campaign team will scan for issues that can affect your client and/or campaign. Remember that an issue implies a controversy. As you scan the environment for these issues, identify one that is important to your organization and that you personally can track all semester. You will need to settle on an issue by Sept. 3, when team directors will report the issues to be tracked.
\n
\nAs you track the issue over the semester, write a brief summary of each news clip or report as you would for top management. As the issue and your monitoring progress, your article summaries need only contain updated or new information and developments. At the end of the semester, your summaries will be used in the team's annotated bibliography, and the clips or copies of the articles collected will be submitted with your team's 9-10-page report of the results of the team's scanning activities.
\n
\nThe team report will include your final summary of your issue, an analysis of the top three issues tracked by your team members and strategies recommended to manage the top issues' impact on your organization.
\n
\nThe report should have the following sections and appendices:
\n
\n(1) An executive summary: While it will appear first in the report, following the title page, the executive summary should be prepared last. It should briefly summarize the report’s main findings and recommendations and be no longer than one page, double-spaced.
\n
\n(2) Summary of all the issues considered in the environmental scan: List the issues identified in the scan. Assign priority to the issues and explain how you arrived at your conclusions. In prioritising issues, consider the potential impact of the issue on the organization's mission and its stakeholders (1-2 pages).
\n
\n(3) Summaries of each issue (individual reports): Summarize your issue, including its historical development. Attach your annotated bibliography and clips or copies of the articles (1-2 pages).
\n
\n(4) Analysis of top issues (team): Analyze the top three issues and their potential impacts on the organization and stakeholders. In the analysis, identify opinion leaders on the issue. Include facts, arguments, premises, conclusions and/or policy recommendations of the opinion leaders. The analysis also should include an issues-forecasting section outlining whether and/or how the issue will continue, change, affect public opinion, mobilize opinion leaders and activists, and/or result in legislative action (2-3 pages).
\n
\n(5) Issues management analysis and recommendation: Drawing on past classes and the literature, identify the theories, strategies and tactics apparently being employed to manage the issue by the organizations and people involved. Then, citing the appropriate literature, identify those theories, strategies and tactics you would propose to manage the issues' impact on your organization's mission and stakeholders (2-3 pages.)
\n
\n(6) References (APA style): List all the works cited to support your analysis and recommendation. (1-2 pages.)
\n
\nThe report should be packaged for presentation to your client.
\n
\nCULTURAL REPORT
\n
\nThis assignment is simple. Explore the main cultures of the majority of your target audience. Visit museums or websites of your choosing. Find at least one fact for each culture that you can use or that will help you understand and better relate with your target audience.
\n
\nEveryone on your team will write a brief report. The individual reports should be no longer than one page each, double-spaced, and are due on the date announced in the syllabus.
\n
\nThe research director should provide a brief summary of the key findings in the audience analysis of the plan book.
\n
\nGUIDELINES FOR PLANBOOK
\n
\nThe Plan Book will be built in four steps. (1) The revised situational analysis will form the first part of the plan book. (2) The next step is to create the outline, or table of contents. (3) Then you'll turn in your first draft of the plan book. (4) The final plan book is due on the day of your presentations, which can be the last day of class or even during reading week. The class will decide when presentation day will be in consultation with your client.
\n
\nThe draft of the Plan Book Table of Contents is an outline of what you intend to include in your final plan book. The outline should be as realistic as possible at that point in the semester. Once your plan book is complete, you can use the revised outline as the actual table of contents by adding page numbers.
\n
\nThe final plan book must include:
\n
\n1. The revised situational analysis with expanded section on the opportunity/problem. This expanded section should contain research on the problem you have identified, including your original research, if any.
\n
\n2. Plans for (a) special event(s). These should be coordinated with the other groups to avoid scheduling conflicts. They should include a justification showing how the event(s) will help achieve the specified objectives and whom the target publics are. If your group is not planning a special event, explain why.
\n
\n3. Supporting materials:
\n(a) A campaign logo and slogan: This should appear on all collaterals.
\n(b) A media kit: This can be broken out under separate cover if your team designs an actual kit (a folder for holding multiple press materials). The media kit must contain:
\n(1) a press release; (2) a backgrounder; and (3) a fact sheet. The excellent kit will have extras, such as a long and short version of the press release(s), a broadcast public service announcement, biographies of key players, and pictures.
\n(c) Publications that support your campaign objectives, such as brochures, booklets, fliers, posters, a campaign website, Facebook accounts, Twitter feeds, invitations, and/or programs. They should include a concise justification showing how they will help achieve the specified objectives and who the target publics are. The justification should include a distribution plan.
\n
\n4. Budgets: As far as possible, estimate the cost of implementing your campaign, including printing, distribution costs and the special event(s). Include a timeline for implementing the campaign.
\n
\n5. Issue tracking (20% of plan book grade): (a) The executive summary, (b) the summary of all issues scanned, showing the priority assigned to those issues, (c) the analysis of the top issues, (d) an issues management analysis and recommendation, and (e) a reference list to support your analysis and recommendation. (The individual issue tracking reports are to be submitted under separate cover, one week before the final Plan Book is due.)
\n
\nYou may include other entries in the book and contents page as long as they are relevant to achieving your campaign’s objectives.

\n\tIndividua

\n\t1. Attendance & Participation

\n\t\tYou must attend to participate.
\n\t\tParticipation includes: engaging actively in class discussion, demonstrating the understanding and engagement with the week’s readings, raising questions and/or points from the readings as well as submitting two discussion questions every week.

\nNote: Students may raise their questions in class and/or be called upon to raise their question(s) depending on the quality and relevance. Discussion questions are graded each week on: quality as well as whether it provokes thoughts, raises critical points, and derives from the readings. A good discussion question will be open-ended and has the possibility to generate discussion.
\n
\n2. Media & Health Analysis Report
\nStudents will be required write an analysis on media content and/or media activity related to health. Students will pick a media activity (either traditional or new media) that discusses health in order to critique and evaluate the message (i.e. news, entertainment education, social media, advocacy efforts, social support groups, health information platforms/portals, or any number of media activities related to health) among other numerous possibilities.
\nUsing the topics/approaches covered in the module, students will write an analysis of the content of that particular activity. Additionally, scholarly materials must be utilized to support the arguments being made. The report should demonstrate critical thinking and in-depth analysis with well supported evidence for the points being made.
\n
\nThe report will be 6 pages (excluding 1-2 pages of references) double spaced, times roman 12pt, 1 inch margin. The report should include: (a) brief summary of the media content and/or media activity, (b) in-depth analysis of the role of media in health communication using the example described in (a)
\n
\n3. Reflection Paper: Each student will sign up to write ONE reflection paper (4 pages, double spaced, times roman 12pt, 1 inch margin). This paper is an analytical, critical, and reflective essay that provides an in depth analysis of the readings; it is not a summary of the readings. The reflection paper should demonstrate the students’ understanding and engagement with the topic and MUST be reflective of that week’s readings (no outside readings will be included and should be written in the student’s own words, using the first person narrative).
\n
\n
\n

\n\tGroup

\n\tNew Media & Health Project and Presentation:

\n
\nIn groups of 5 students will come up with a health media project based on the concepts, approaches and/or methodology discussed in the module. For instance, students can come up with strategies to use new media to communicate health messages, a plan for a health campaigns about a particular health issue using new media, an entertainment education script using new media that discusses a particular health behavior, a short youtube video that discusses the historical, political, social, cultural implications of a particular health behavior, a health portals/website to search health information or any other number of projects that is based on the materials for the course. This is not an exhaustive list nor are you required to follow any of them, rather as some possible examples to help you get started.
\n
\nBasically, each group creates a new media project that is entirely based on principles of new media and health and/or combines understanding of traditional media and health with approaches in new media.
\nBe creative and have fun. A presentation about the project is also required. The project will be graded on two components: process and the product.
\n
\nProcess: relevance to the course, whether it builds on the course material, innovativeness, freshness of idea, critique and/or extension of existing approach.
\n
\nProduct: deliverable demonstrates evidence of extensive research, knowledge of the course content, depth of thinking, organization and flow of the material.

\nEach week there will be assigned readings. Our engagement with these assigned readings
\nwill begin on-line on IVLE before the class session. Students will be assigned to the weeks readings and required to generate a weekly post on the IVLE forum on the week’s topics. The weekly post will be comprised of the following elements:
\n
\n-       Description: statements or questions about what the author claims.
\n-       Critique: arguments about whether the author is correct or what the author has left out.
\n-       Connection: how the claims or concepts relate to those in other readings.
\n-       Application: how the reading applies to each student’s individual case study
\n
\nThese weekly posts will culminate in a written case study assignment, where the students will select a case study of a system, application, policy or communications strategy that motivates prosocial behavior and assesses it according to the theories covered in the class.
\nIn addition, students will apply the course topics in a final project where they will develop an original research proposal investigating the use of design to motivate prosocial behavior in an online system/application/policy/communications strategy. Short exercises will address specific design claims arising out of theory/empirical research. Additionally, students will be engaged in a group project to develop an interactive prototype application/system/policy/comm strategy that utilizes the design claims from one or more of the above topics.

\nOn-Campus Clinical Laboratory Assessment
\n
\nAll on-campus assessment conducted in the clinical laboratory is compulsory and will be assessed at PASS/FAIL only. A PASS must be achieved before students
\ncan attend the Clinical Practicum placement forthe associated Clinical Practicum module. Specific criteria which must be met to obtain a PASS will be provided for students.
\n
\nOnly TWO (2) attempts may be allowed to achieve a PASS grade at the discretion of the module coordinator. Students who are offered a second attempt will be required to submit,
\non the form provided by the module coordinator, written evidence of practice on at least five occasions before the second attempt can be scheduled.
\nThese sessions must be signed by the laboratory coordinator following the practice session.
\n
\nLate submission
\n
\nLate essays and other assessment submission will automatically incur a penalty of ten percent (10%) per day of the maximum mark of the assessment item.
\nNo late essays will be accepted more than three (3) days after the due date. Students are required to submit all components of module assessment,
\nregardless of whether a piece of assessment is late, to be eligible for a final grade for the module.

The module aims to bridge the gap between O level physics and first year university physics. It covers the fundamentals of three branches of physics: electricity & magnetism, optics and modern physics. As an introductory physics module, PC1222 serves to build a firm foundation for those students embarking on university level studies in Physics, Engineering and related fields. Most of the students would be tackling advanced physics concepts for the first time. The module would train students to reflect on and apply new concepts learned via demonstrations, multimedia, interactive quizzes, experiments and in-depth discussions in classrooms. Applications of physical concepts in real-life examples, everyday situations and current technology would be stressed too. Students would begin to understand and fall in love with the physics behind the physical world they live in.

Then, we present the main families of states (number, thermal, coherent, squeezed) and the most typical measurement techniques (photo-detection, homodyne measurement, first- and second-order coherence, Hong-Ou-\\Mandel bunching). The statistical nature of light fields is highlighted. Finally, we present the basic case studies of photon-atom interactions in the full quantum approach: cavity quantum electrodynamics (Janyes-Cummings model), spontaneous decay (Wigner-Weisskopf approach).","Order":1},{"ID":"2e5f053b-8835-4692-be49-41f07234cfff","Title":"Prerequisites (What should I know?)","Description":"Students who have passed either PC3130 or PC3243","Order":2},{"ID":"ac824a9e-400b-4b8b-8b74-4e39e2fb5983","Title":"Workload","Description":"3-1-0-1-5

\nEvery student will work on a particular project, either suggested by the lecturer, or something of her/his choice to measure something, discuss the specific experimental problems associated with it, and document the progress/findings/problems on the wiki. We still need to provide the framework for that, but let's consider this a part of the practical work....

\nOriginal blurb in the module design paper:
\n"Basic teaching mode would be in a seminar style in a small group around an experimental setup to give people exposure to the technologies involved. This setup as a project-oriented discussion group should not compete with the research work, but supply exposure to practical problems encountered in current AMO and vacuum physics. Where the simplicity of the setup allows (FPI elements, photodetectors, Laser diodes, gas cells), teaching is lab based, whereas for some more advanced techniques without access to experimental hardware the teaching mode will be lecture-oriented. Students will be assigned small experimental problems to be solved experimentally over the module duration and the lecture/tutorial time is considered a jour fixe for coming up with questions and go together through various techniques. Each student will
\nhand in a report on a particular topic, which is related to one of the areas in the syllabus, and this report will be graded and form the main component in the assessment. A minor assessment component will involve small quizzes and homework during tutorial sessions. Supportive material will be handled via IVLE."

\n\tIn this course we'll study the moral philosophy of John Stuart Mill (1806-1873), David Hume (1711-1776) and Immanuel Kant (1724-1804). Mill is a utilitarian, thinking that the right action is the one that brings about greatest improvement in the general happiness. Hume argued that “Reason is, and ought only to be the slave of the passions, and can never pretend to any other office than to serve and obey them.” Kant opposes both of these views. He is perhaps the foremost defender of reason's power to motivate action in Western philosophy, and he built a complex moral theory that judges actions independently of the outcomes they bring about.

\n\tA note on these texts: They were all written a very long time ago, and the authors use very old-fashioned language and sentence structure. This may make them difficult to read in many respects. Don't be afraid to speak up in tutorial or lecture and ask me to explain what things mean!

\n\tAssessment: Quizzes will comprise 50% of the grade. Usually there will be a quiz at the beginning of each class on that week’s reading, starting on the second week of classes. Each quiz will have around 10 questions, mostly true/false. The final exam is 40%. Attendance/ participation is 10%, and will be determined by attendance in tutorials and participation in all areas of class.

Political meritocracy has long been debated by leading political theorists in China and the West, but for most of the twentieth century it was largely supplanted by debates about democracy. Political meritocracy has recently been revived – partly inspired by debates in Singapore and the rise of China – and today several theorists focus on the question of how to reconcile meritocracy and democracy.
\n
\nThis seminar will consist of student presentations and discussion. It will be held on Wednesday afternoon, 4 to 7 pm. The first seminar will be held on August 14th and the teacher will meet with each student for five to ten minutes to plan the presentations for the following seminars.

Why do first impressions stick? Why do people intentionally sabotage themselves when faced with a challenge in life (e.g., drinking heavily the night before an important inter-faculty soccer match)? Why do people queue throughout the night for Hello Kitty dolls? Are the public campaign ads (e.g., anti-dengue posters) effective in changing people’s behavior? Why do advertisers think it a good idea to feature a boring commercial over and over again? Why do people (sometimes mistakenly) fall in love? Why do different social groups fight over nothing? Why racial and gender discrimination still exist in the modern era?
\n
\nThe ways in which most people, including the so-called “experts” that got invited to appear on TV, usually think about these questions are based on philosophy (“Everyone and everything in the world are interconnected”), common sense (“We all know that opposite attract, right?”), or Astrology (“I am an Aquarius, so...”). There’s nothing wrong with these ways of thinking, except that they do not speak of the truth, and would not really help us understand, predict, or change people’s thoughts and behaviour. The unusual way of thinking I will try to instill in you in this module is the way of science, in which data speak of the truth.
\n
\nHence, students enrolled in this module are expected to acquire knowledge of scientific theory and research in the major topic areas of social psychology. With the aid of tutorials, students should learn to communicate their knowledge as well as apply their knowledge to real-world settings. In this course, students should also gain an understanding of the strong (but usually unrecognized) social forces that influence others' and their own behavior in such settings as home, school, and work. In summary, at the end of this module, students will be able to
\n
\n1.) describe scientific theories and research in the major topic areas of social psychology,
\n2.) analyse and identify situational factors and psychological processes involved in real-life social events/situations,
\n3.) base on your knowledge of social psychology, devise ways to potentially change people's behavior.
\n
\nI hope you can become sophisticated consumers of information who will see through the biased presentation of information that plagues every facet of human communication.

In the lectures, I will often introduce things that are not covered by the textbooks. Both the materials covered in the lectures and the textbook can be tested in the mid-term as well as the final exam. There is no attendance credit for this course BUT the Faculty does monitor your attendance at tutorials closely so I will have to inform the Vice-Dean if you have been absent three times at tutorials.

\r\n\tThere will be one mid-term exam, given the week after the recess. The mid-term exam will include multiple choice, short answer, and essay questions, and will cover all seminars and assigned readings up to Week 5. You will also be asked to prepare a research proposal describing the study you want to conduct. Finally, you will also need to submit an individually written final report (formatted in APA-style).

\r\n

\r\n\t“Thought questions” are reflective questions generated in response to assigned readings. From Week 2 onwards, for each assigned reading, you should post at least ONE thought question (more are welcome!) to the Discussion Forum, no later than 24 hours before class (i.e., your question/s must be posted by Tuesday 2pm). A thought question reflects your reaction to the overall content of a reading. You will get full credit for your thought question if you demonstrate that you’ve read and thought carefully about the reading, half credit if you say something relevant, and no credit if you don’t turn in your question.

\n                                                                                          (I) CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT (50%):
\n
\n(i) Gr  oup Paper (25%) -   In the first class, students will be assigned to their respective groups (4-6 persons in each group depending on class size). Each group will select a topic of their choice based on any aspect of addictive behaviour and write a paper. It is recommended that groups obtain initial feedback on their topic selection from the lecturer as early as possible. Papers should be double-spaced, written in APA style, and approximately 12-15 pages in length (excluding title page, abstract, and reference). All papers should be submitted via the IVLE workbin by 5pm on Wednesday, 16 October 2013. NO EXCEPTIONS WILL BE MADE! Note that late papers will be penalized (a 1-point deduction from the final paper grade for every minute past the stipulated deadline).
\n
\n(ii) Group Presentation (25%) - Each group will then present their paper in class. Please see Course Syllabus for group presentation dates. Each presentation should be between 30-40 minutes. Be creative in your delivery.
\n
\nThe paper/presentation assignment is a group project. Consequently, members of a particular group will receive the same score for their paper and presentation.

This course will introduce students to the scientific research and issues in positive psychology, and will explore the meaning and implications of positive psychology towards a global understanding of wellbeing.
\n
\nStudents will be expected to apply some theories to their own lives, to reflect on them as part of the coursework, and to exercise their critical thinking abilities to form their own personal views on what constitutes a “good life.” By the end of the course, students should be able to understand and explain the basic theories in positive psychology, and to critically defend (or oppose) the cognitions and behaviours that serve to enhance or undermine optimal human growth.","Order":1},{"ID":"2e5f053b-8835-4692-be49-41f07234cfff","Title":"Prerequisites (What should I know?)","Description":"Completed 80 MCs of which student must have passed PL1101E, PL2131, PL2132 and 4 out of the 5 core modules (PL3232 - PL3236), in which one must be PL3235, with a minimum CAP of 3.5 or be on the Honours track.","Order":2},{"ID":"4e5f053b-8835-4692-be49-41f07234cfff","Title":"Schedule","Description":"16 Aug (Week 1): Introduction and Overview of Positive Psychology

\nEssays
\nThe purpose of the essays is for you to critically analyze and express what you think of the reading(s). Each essay should be a thoughtful reflection and genuine engagement with one or more of the week’s required readings. Do not summarize any of the articles. The essay should be a critical analysis, but this does not necessarily mean you simply criticize the reading. Rather you should use the materials that you have learned in class to evaluate the concepts and theories in the readings, and demonstrate your understanding by explaining how it applies (can apply) in your life.
\n
\nGeneral Instructions: Introduce and develop one original argument that is not found in the course readings. An argument should be your own original point/theory/belief that you are presenting and defending in your essay (i.e., your own idea; don't summarize arguments the research provides, although you can use the research to support your own argument). Then support your argument with evidence (i.e., your observations, illustrations/examples, and research—how it applies/does not apply). These essays should be written after you’ve done the readings and the homework activities for the week so you have a chance to reflect before writing.
\n
\nEssay format:
\n

\n\t\tUse Times New Roman 12-point font with standard 1-inch margins on A4 paper, double-spaced. Submit in 2 forms: (1) hardcopy; and (2) as a Microsoft Word document uploaded to IVLE workbin.
\n\t\tLength of essay: 1½ - 2 pages (maximum 500-word limit). Do not exceed page limit: practice substantive brevity.
\n\t\tPut your name, Student ID number, date, and essay number at the top of the first page.
\n\t\tRefer to an article using the author’s name with date—for example, “According to Gable et al. (2006), …” (If more than two authors, use “et al.,”)

\nEssay deadline and submission:
\n
\nWrite a total of three essays. Submit each essay in two formats:
\n(1) upload softcopy to IVLE Workbin by 2pm on the Friday of class. Name your softcopy essay according to this format: "Surname_FirstName_Essay_#." For example, if your name is "Fann Wong" and you're submitting Essay #3, then submit your essay as "Wong_Fann_Essay_3."
\n(2) turn in hardcopy at 3pm of Fri class. Double-side your hardcopy submission, please!
\n
\n(Note: Good writing ability is very helpful in this course since writing will make up 30% of your course grade, in the form of essays and thought questions. An interest in the course material is essential as well; otherwise, the writing assisnments will be painful to do.)
\n
\nThought Questions
\nCreate a thought-provoking or controversial question that the reading(s) raised for you, or a question you think would provide good material for discussion. Practice brevity: keep your thought questions short! Maximum 50-word limit.
\n
\nA good question demonstrates an understanding of course material applied to a realm that you may not fully understand (yet).
\nA fair (but not great) question might be one that has been answered by course material already, but still shows some thought.
\nA poor reflection question shows no original thinking, is superficial, or paraphrases an existing reflection question that has appeared in the course readings or has already been raised in class.
\n
\nThought question submission:
\nThere will be ten thought questions (TQs) to submit (one per week, except for the last 2 weeks of class). Submit your TQ for that week's reading to IVLE “Survey.”
\n
\nIn-Class Assignments
\nDuring class period, there will be a series of unannounced assignments. These assignments will be completed in class only. Examples of in-class assignments are small group activities, short papers, pop quizzes. NO make-ups if you are absent for an in-class assignment.
\n
\nSeminar Presentation
\nEach group of students will do a presentation on a course topic-- either from (1) the previous week or for (2) the current week's topic. (Presentations should be 15 minutes. Do not exceed 20-minute time limit.) You’re not required to do any extra research outside of what's presented in the course. The presentation is based on readings and class material. Some ideas for your seminar presentation: skit, discussion, game, etc. If you’re showing a film, presenting a skit, or playing a game, make sure to share with us your point—your rationale on why/how this relates back to the topic matter. Try not to present entirely in the traditional lecture style. (That’s my job!)
\n(1) Previous week's topic: How and what you present (within the topic) is up to you.
\nOr
\n(2) Current week's topic: Focus on 2 or 3 of the articles from that week's reading list.
\n
\nResearch Presentation
\nEach student will work in the same group of five students on a topic in the field of positive psychology. This project is meant to be a fun learning experience but academic standards will still be upheld. You must do some research-- that is, consult academic resources (e.g., journal articles, book chapters) outside of class material. Spend a little time choosing a topic that interests you, and make sure the topic relates back to positive psychology. (Suggestions are listed below but feel free to come up with your own topic.) For example, if your topic is motivation, don't simply give a general social psychology presentation on motivation; instead, make sure you demonstrate how your presentation on motivation fits into the framework of positive psychology.
\n
\nTry to make your presentation interactive and fun. Keep in mind that some activities take more time than you think, so allocate enough time for them. You will present your findings in class, including some prescriptive tips for the class regarding how to increase wellbeing based on your research. Visual aids (PowerPoint slides, video clips, posters, handouts, etc.) are recommended.
\n
\nGroup presentations should be about 25 minutes and will be held during the last weeks of class. Do not exceed 30-minute time limit. Attendance will be taken during each class on research presentation dates. Absence or tardiness may result in point deductions off your final grade.
\n
\nEach member of a group should assess the contributions of all group members. If someone in your group is not completing their share of work, showing up for group meetings, or is completely uninvolved in accomplishing the group’s goal, then your evaluation can reflect this. I will take these evaluations into account when assigning final individual grades for the group presentation.
\n
\nSubmissions. On the day of your presentation, please submit the following in hardcopy:
\n

\n\t\tGroup member contributions (one per student). Each student should hand in a separate detailed account listing the activities each of the group members contributed towards the presentation.
\n\t\tReference list (one per group). Each group may submit a joint reference list of resources used (books, journal articles, etc.). Please use APA format. Cite at least 6 sources that can be found using the PSYCINFO electronic database.
\n\t\tPowerPoint slides (one per group) (with graphics deleted is fine).

\n

\n\t\tDon't be fooled by the seemingly-simple subject matter of this course: This is a labor-intensive course. There is a considerable amount of reading, writing, presenting, and other work to be done on a weekly basis—you need to keep up.
\n\t\tThe seminars supplement the readings. As such, you can expect my presentations to cover ideas that are not necessarily covered in the readings. You are expected to know the material covered in all aspects of the course: readings, lectures, films, assignments, presentations, and discussions.
\n\t\tYour success in this course depends on attending class, participating in class, taking thorough notes, writing thought-provoking essays and questions, and presenting well-researched, lucid, organized presentations.
\n\t\tStudents are strongly encouraged to complete the assigned readings before coming to class, as we will be discussing concepts in class.

\nSlides: A skeleton version of my PowerPoint slides for each topic will be available at noon on the day of class. You can access the slides through IVLE. You will need an NUS UserID and password, as well as access to PowerPoint.
\n
\nCommunication Policy: Students are responsible for checking their email account and IVLE frequently and consistently to remain current with University communications. They are expected to monitor and manage their email storage quota to insure that their mailboxes are not saturated and are able to receive new messages.
\n
\nAttendance: Although attendance is not taken during the semester (with the exception of research presentation days), your attendance is expected for at least 3 reasons. (1) Missing class will put you at a serious disadvantage for the exams since some of the course material you will be tested on is not found in the readings. (2) You may not make up missed in-class assignments if you are absent. (3) You’ll miss out on the educational experience and we’ll miss out on your contribution to the class.
\n
\nMiscellaneous: Please turn off handphones, and do everything in your power to show up for class on time. Ringing phones, latecomers, and other distractions make the learning (and teaching) process difficult for those around you.","Order":6},{"ID":"5e2827fd-bf00-48be-8e24-fe784363e020","Title":"Preclusions","Description":"NIL","Order":7},{"ID":"ccc8a84e-4d08-4016-b767-2bef487d8363","Title":"Workload","Description":"0-3-0-3.5-6

\r\n
\r\n

\r\n\tStudents will be able to familiarize themselves with key findings, models, and methods in the study of lexical processing. More importantly, they are expected to critically evaluate the available research, and to suggest how existing gaps in the literature can be addressed empirically. Based on readings, students will also be encouraged to identify and discuss links between lexical processing and other areas such as Memory and Attention.

\r\nBehavioral Economics and Public Policy
\r\n
\r\n
\r\nTraditional economics, which is one of the key theoretical cornerstones of public policy, typically assumes that human behavior is rational, preferences are stable, and individuals are smart and unemotional. However, human behavior can often deviate from these standard assumptions due to psychological limitations. Policy analysis based on traditional economics can therefore lead to wrong conclusions. This course presents and discusses behavioral regularities that are of potential importance for public policy. Students will be exposed to behavioral economic theory and its applications for public policy in the areas of savings, investment, healthcare, climate change, taxation, labor supply, and monetary policy. The course helps to understand and appreciate how human psychological attributes, such as bounded rationality, bounded willpower, and bounded self-interest, can affect decision making; how behavioral considerations can help improve policy design and policy outcome; and how public policies can use the insights of behavioral economics more broadly.

\r\n\tSynopsis

\r\n

\r\n\tWriting in The New York Times, Thomas Friedman encouraged policymakers to emulate the prevailing attitude in Singapore of "taking governing seriously and thinking strategically". This module is a critical examination of the basis and implications of such a claim, focusing on features of governance in Singapore that may be viewed as unique. We will explore the efficacy, desirability and sustainability of the Singapore system of governance, in the context of significant economic, social and political changes. We will also study how Singapore’s "paranoid government" tries to manage risks amid increasing complexity and volatility in its operating environment. This module is team-taught by two former Singaporean civil servants, including the former Head of Civil Service.

\r\n

\r\n\tLearning Outcomes

\r\n

\r\n\tThis module aims to:

\r\n

\r\n\t Provoke students to examine and reflect – through the lens of Singapore’s experience – some influential theories and models of governance, in terms of organisation, beliefs, principles and practices, the application of economics thinking, decision-making and leadership, and public participation.

\r\n

\r\n\t Help students understand the key features of governance in Singapore, what works and what does not, and their strengths and limits.

\r\n

\r\n\t Train students to think in a dialectical way, engaging theory and practice not as neat and separate realms but as modes that relate to each other in productive tension.

\r\n

\r\n\t Give students some working knowledge of approaches and methods for understanding and dealing with risks and complexity.

\r\n

\r\n\tTeaching Modes

\r\n

\r\n\tThe sessions will be conducted as a mix of short lectures, small-group discussions, case learning and structured debates.

\r\nCourse Objectives
\r\n
\r\nSuccess of a country’s economic development, to a large extent, depends on the effectiveness of its policy in promoting sustained high economic growth. This course is designed for students with substantial interests in economic development who may one day be involved in economic analysis and policy making in their future careers. The overall objective of this course is to provide students with a robust understanding of Asian economic growth experiences, the Asian economic growth model, and the strategic policy approaches for lower income countries to rapidly catch up with richer nations. Taking this course, students will be able to
\r\n
\r\n

\r\n\t\tGain insights and knowledge about the causes and drivers behind the economic performance of a nation.
\r\n\t\tUnderstand the salient features of economic growth in Asia, appreciating what can work and what cannot not work in the government’s policy efforts to promote economic growth.
\r\n\t\tStrengthen the capability to analyze and evaluate policies for promoting long-term economic growth.

\r\n
\r\n
\r\nCourse Description
\r\n
\r\nThe main topics covered in this course include:
\r\n
\r\n

\r\n\t\tAsia’s economic performance in the global dynamics of catching-up and falling-behind
\r\n\t\tThe Asian economic miracles and Asian strengths
\r\n\t\tThe determinants of growth and the Asia growth model
\r\n\t\tThe Asian financial crisis
\r\n\t\tThe competitiveness of Asian economies
\r\n\t\tSources of Asia’s economic growth
\r\n\t\tEconomic growth in China and India
\r\n\t\tReforms and economic catch-up endeavors
\r\n\t\tEconomic development strategy
\r\n\t\tIndustrial policy
\r\n\t\tAsia’s future prospects

\r\n
\r\nThe course is taught in a fairly non-technical manner but it requires students’ substantial interest in basic quantitative analysis. Students will have to spend a fair amount of time to work on problem sets, presentation assignments, group projects, and a term paper.
\r\n
\r\n
\r\nPrerequisite
\r\n
\r\nStudents are expected to have some basic background in economics (at the introductory level).

\r\nCourse Requirements
\r\n
\r\nClass Participation:
\r\n
\r\n

\r\n\t\tClass discussion plays an important role in stimulating learning in this course. Students should expect intensive workload to prepare for class participation.
\r\n\t\tStudents are encouraged to raise questions, including critical ones, and to proactively participate in the class discussion to debate the important issues of economic development.
\r\n\t\tThe class is divided into 8 groups, each of which has about 5 students. For a given session, starting from week 2, all the eight groups are asked to present the key findings and messages they learn from the papers/case studies (marked with *** in the readings list) which they are assigned. This learning takes place as the following:\r\n\t\t
- \r\n\t\t\t\tThe eight groups independently prepare their own slides for the papers they are assigned. The presentation for a given paper should not have more than 5 slides.
- \r\n\t\t\t\tNote that in each session there are four papers (marked with ***) to be presented. Each of these four papers is assigned to two groups, which alternatively present and comment the papers they are assigned.
- \r\n\t\t\t\tIn each session, the presentation of a paper and its comments and Q&A should take not more than 20 minutes (10’ for presentation; 5’ for comments, and 5’ for Q&A).
- \r\n\t\t\t\tAll groups will post their presentation slides on IVLE after the day of their presentation.
\r\n\t

\r\n
\r\nProblem sets: There are three problem sets, which are designed to reinforce students’ understanding of the core concepts and analytical techniques. Students are expected to apply these concepts and techniques in group projects and term papers.
\r\n
\r\n
\r\nGroup project: Each group chooses at least two economies, of which at least one is Asian, to analyze their economic growth since 1980 with a special focus on the period since 2000.
\r\n
\r\n
\r\nTerm paper: Each student is asked to write a paper to analyze the key factors underlying the economic competitiveness and growth of an economy or a sector of his/her own choice. The paper is expected to provide robust insights and policy recommendations, using various analytical skills and best practices learned from the course. Students can take advantage of their group project to prepare for their term papers.
