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.

While most would consider the pivotal role of the governments in managing these challenges, individuals can also make a difference to underserved populations.

On the social front, there is a rising interest among employees to create something meaningful on their own. Increasingly, employees have a strong need for individual autonomy and expression in their workplace. In the absence of such freedom, talented employees may leave out of frustration to search for an institution that can provide the meaning and the environment to achieve their self-actualization. Corporate entrepreneurship is one method of stimulating and capitalizing on employees’ need to think of new ideas and do things better for their organisation. On a business level, an organization needs self-renewal, which involves transformation through redefinition of its business concepts, reorganization of its business relationships and reengineering of its business processes. Creating a new venture from scratch is challenging, but developing it within an existing organization is a totally different ball game. This module focuses on corporate entrepreneurship with four key elements: new business venturing, innovativeness, selfrenewal and proactiveness. It has two primary objectives. First, the module aims to enable the students to apply corporate entrepreneurship-related concepts in practice. Second, it seeks to broaden the students’ education by helping them to appreciate the application of corporate entrepreneurship knowledge to companies.

The emphasis of innovation is made explicit in the course title.\n\nThis course focuses on two primary objectives. First to understand how one can enhance and increase innovativeness in any context. Innovation means that a new product, a new service or a new process is developed and pushed into the market. The range, scope, and complexity of the\nissues related to the creating and implementing something new is discussed. At the end of the course, the students will have learnt how to innovate.\n\nThe second objective of this course is to provide students with an opportunity for “hands-on” knowledge on starting an entrepreneurial firm. This objective will be accomplished by developing new ideas and asking the question on how one can implement them in the market and by doing\nhands-on interviews with entrepreneurs who have gone through the experience of founding a new venture.\n\nThe course utilizes class discussions of weekly assignments, brief lectures and case discussion. The course is based on an evidence-based management perspective in which there is careful discussion of what is known, what is conjecture, what is (useful) gut feeling and where does new knowledge come from and how it can be used. Discussion of assigned readings and cases and the completion of a field project are integral to meeting the course objectives.","title":"Entrepreneurship & Innovation","department":"BIZ Dean's Office","faculty":"NUS Business School","workload":[0,3,0,0,7],"moduleCredit":"4","moduleCode":"BMA5404"},"moduleCode":"BMA5404","semesterData":{"semester":1,"timetable":[{"classNo":"P1","startTime":"0900","endTime":"1200","weeks":[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13],"venue":"BIZ1-0303","day":"Saturday","lessonType":"Sectional Teaching","size":66},{"classNo":"P1","startTime":"1200","endTime":"1500","weeks":[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13],"venue":"BIZ1-0303","day":"Saturday","lessonType":"Sectional Teaching","size":66}]}},{"module":{"acadYear":"2019/2020","description":"This course is aimed at doctoral students who intend to conduct experimental and quasi-experimental research for the study of individuals’ behavior in business (e.g., marketing, organizational behavior) and related disciplines (e.g., psychology).

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. \n\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.","title":"Channels and Pricing Strategy","department":"BIZ Dean's Office","faculty":"NUS Business School","workload":[0,3,0,0,7],"moduleCredit":"4","moduleCode":"BMA5511"},"moduleCode":"BMA5511"},{"module":{"acadYear":"2019/2020","description":"This is an introductory course on China’s Capital Markets that will examine China’s listed equity, private equity, bond and derivative markets from\na development perspective and its convergence towards international standards.

It will examine a variety of business-related networks. These include entrepreneurial networks of resource providers and alliance partners; networks of communication and coordination within established organizations; supply chain and marketing channel networks; informal networks in and outside organizations that confer influence and advance careers; cross-border networks for doing business globally.\nManaging in the contemporary global economy is much more about managing networks than hierarchical organizations through fixed chains of command. Both within organizations and between them, the paths to productivity, innovation, and success lie in astute networking. Network management and leadership demand different capabilities from those necessary to run a single firm or division within it. Communication, persuasion, collaboration, negotiation, emotional intelligence, flexibility, trust-building, reciprocity, and responsiveness are all essential. However, good network management requires more than “soft” or interpersonal skills. Given the complexity of business networks today, familiarity with the technical tools of network analysis can be very helpful as well. A highly technical science of networks now exists. Managers should learn how to use that science in analyzing and engineering their networks for superior performance.\nWe will approach the problem of managing networks from two perspectives, “up” and “down.” “Up” refers to your vantage point as an individual actor, crafting your personal network, positioning yourself within it, and leveraging it for professional advantage and success. “Down” is your vantage point as an executive charged with responsibility for the functioning and success of the network as a whole; for example, within a division or functional area or a supply chain or distribution system.","title":"Managing Business Networks","department":"BIZ Dean's Office","faculty":"NUS Business School","workload":[0,3,0,4,3],"moduleCredit":"4","moduleCode":"BMS5702B"},"moduleCode":"BMS5702B"},{"module":{"acadYear":"2019/2020","description":"This module introduces students to Asian management and leadership through the 15th century historical character from the Ming dynasty of China, named Admiral Zheng He (aka Cheng Ho).

Decision-making is becoming increasingly challenging in a fast-paced business world where managers must make frequent decisions in the face of rising uncertainty and complexity. This course will take a systematic view of management decision making from both normative and descriptive perspectives. While the normative perspective focuses on what rational managers should do in order to make optimal decisions, the descriptive perspective offers critical insights about how real managers make judgment and decisions. Class discussion will be organized around the contrasts between what decision-makers should do in a normative sense and how they actually do in a descriptive sense. The normative approach may help decision makers to identify, structure, and analyze decision problems in a systematic and logical manner. On the other hand, the descriptive approach has provided insightful understandings of how people deviate from rational decision making and easily fall into common decision traps. This course will teach you how to think critically about the decisions you and other people make, how to avoid common decision pitfalls, and how to improve your decision making skills by offering a comprehensive cross-disciplinary knowledge of decision making and more importantly its real life applications.","title":"Managerial Decision Analysis","department":"Analytics and Operations","faculty":"NUS Business School","workload":[3,0,0,4,3],"prerequisite":"DSC1007 and BSP1005","moduleCredit":"4","moduleCode":"DSC4212"},"moduleCode":"DSC4212"},{"module":{"acadYear":"2019/2020","description":"Service design is a process that seeks to understand ways to develop the environments and programs that lead to a high level of service quality.

In today's information-oriented environment, a marketing manager cannot succeed without a thorough understanding of the research process. By understanding the research process, he can better judge the suitability, reliability and the validity of a research study in his decision-makings. Students will learn by doing in this course. While we will use class time to discuss appropriate research topics, students are required to do lots of activities by themselves in order to facilitate their learning by doing. In doing so, this course incorporates an experimental element in marketing research and consulting. As a marketing information provider, students will be assisting a firm by collecting and interpreting market data as a means toward the development of a superior marketing plan. At the same time, students will conduct tutorial activities that will provide opportunities for students to practice the key topics covered in the class. This course is intended to acquaint students with the fundamental marketing research process. More specifically, this course aims: (i) To familiarise the student with the fundamental marketing research skills of problem formulation, research design, questionnaire design, data collection, data analysis, and report presentation and writing. (ii) To have the student gain perspective and practice in applying these skills through a research project. (iii) To develop an understanding of decision making in marketing, its inherent difficulties and pitfalls and the importance of information in marketing research.","title":"Marketing Research","department":"Marketing","faculty":"NUS Business School","workload":[3,0,0,5,3],"prerequisite":"MKT1003 or BH1003 or BZ1003 or BK2003","moduleCredit":"4","moduleCode":"MKT2413"},"moduleCode":"MKT2413"},{"module":{"acadYear":"2019/2020","preclusion":"BH2412 or BZ3604 or BK3208","description":"This course aims to provide students with an understanding of the complex issues generally encountered when marketing goods and services internationally.

The discourses of urban sustainability have to move away from social sufficiency, ecological efficiency to ecosystem compatibility by linking the forms and flows of urban, industrial and natural systems. The new challenges of urban ecological issue require design and environmental professionals to deal with how urban and environment spaces could be analyzed, designed, managed, evaluated, represented and changed for responding to the cutting-edge sustainable issues. Divided by two main categories, Spatial Typologies and Ecological Flows, the series of lecture covers the trends and issues of sustainable urban design and development. Following the introductory lecture based on planning and design history, the Part One Spatial Typologies includes global ecological effects of mega urban form, suburbanization and propositions of sustainable city, downtown urban design, waterfront revitalization and brown field redevelopment. The Part Two Ecological Flows covers the ecological design issues of landscape ecological flow, material and energy flow, water flow and informational flow. The sessions conclude with the discussion of representational dimension of urban and environmental design that is essential to the professional practices of ecologically sound urban and environmental design.

These interactions in the form of forces, energy flow or mass flow will then be analysed and the impact of their variation will be evaluated. Through these students will learn that practical engineering systems are not silos of specific engineering disciplines and that engineers use scaling techniques to analyse, model, design and build systems.","title":"Engineering Principles and Practice I","department":"Mechanical Engineering","faculty":"Engineering","workload":"3-2-0-0-3-4","moduleCredit":"6","moduleCode":"EG1111","attributes":{"su":true}},"moduleCode":"EG1111"},{"module":{"acadYear":"2019/2020","description":"Students will learn the approaches used in the design of sequencing circuits applied to machine-level industrial automation.

The trend that products and systems become communicating systems, with many parallel activities on multiple embedded processors, and with complex multimedia interfaces makes their design unmanageable with the current hardware/software co-design practice. This workshop presents a system level design approach that yields executable system level models based on object-oriented analysis and specification. A design process starts with a multidisciplinary discussion enabled by formal models that visualize collaborating processes of a system and its environment. These models show functional real-time behaviour as well as system architecture. Subsequently, a model is extended with the properties of candidate implementation technologies. This enables verification and validation of required system properties. Dedicated models can be used for architecture studies on performance, channel bandwidths and real-time properties.","title":"Specification of Complex Hardware/Software System","department":"Centre for Design Tech / DTI","faculty":"Engineering","moduleCredit":"4","moduleCode":"TD5101"},"moduleCode":"TD5101"},{"module":{"acadYear":"2019/2020","preclusion":"LL4295V/LL5295V/LL6295V Conflict of Laws in Int’l Commercial Arbitration","description":"This course will focus in detail on the instances in which resort to conflict of laws is necessary in the international arbitration context.

What can commercial or investment banks and financial regulation achieve in this regard, how is risk management structured, and what academic or other (political) models are used in this connection, how effective are they, e.g. in the capital adequacy and liquidity requirements, and what can or must governments and/or central banks or other regulators do when all fails and financial crises occur?

What can commercial or investment banks and financial regulation achieve in this regard, how is risk management structured, and what academic or other (political) models are used in this connection, how effective are they, e.g. in the capital adequacy and liquidity requirements, and what can or must governments and/or central banks or other regulators do when all fails and financial crises occur? From a legal point of view, an important aspect is the strong public policy undercurrents in the applicable law.\n\nThat is obvious in regulation but may also impact on private law. Another important issuer is that the law applicable to financial products and their regulation is ever more transnationalised and expressed at the international level, especially in terms of transactional and payment finality, financial stability, and even banking resolution facilities or international safety nets.

Questions such as - Are there any ‘universal’ patterns of human behaviour? To what extent is a society’s perception of law influenced or controlled by environmental and econological factors? How are disputes resolved? Is aggression and warfare inherent in the human condition? - will be dealt with. In the second part of the course, these anthropological methods will be applied to a study of the concept of law in diverse societies from a sociological perspective, and to the actual function of law in society. Do patterns of human behaviour discernable in primitive societies hold true in more complex ‘modern’ societies? What are the attributes of a ‘modern’ legal system? Is the concept of ‘law’ in the western sense inevitable and universal in all kinds of societies. What happens to the concept of law in plural societies?

The seller/owner of goods who wishes to export them will\nhire a ship (particularly in the case of bulk commodities, such as oil) or space on a ship, depending on the quantity and type of goods to be transported. This course is therefore concerned with examining the legal relationships which arise between the shipper (or owner of the goods), the carrier (the shipowner), the charterer, and the receiver/consignee of the goods. The particular emphasis\nwill be the principal documents of carriage, such as bills of lading, sea waybills and ship’s delivery orders, and the domestic legislation which governs these documents and also gives effect to international conventions.

After that, we examine a selection of case studies such as those concerning prodemocracy\nmovements, sexual rights movements, rightwing and counter movements, and transnational movements.","title":"Law & Social Movements","department":"FoL Dean's Office","faculty":"Law","workload":[0,3,0,2,5],"prerequisite":"NUS Compulsory Core Curriculum or its equivalent.","moduleCredit":"4","moduleCode":"LL6082"},"moduleCode":"LL6082"},{"module":{"acadYear":"2019/2020","description":"","title":"Ocean Law & Policy in Asia","department":"FoL Dean's Office","faculty":"Law","moduleCredit":"4","moduleCode":"LLD5140"},"moduleCode":"LLD5140"},{"module":{"acadYear":"2019/2020","description":"","title":"Negotiating & Drafting Int'l Commercial Transactions","department":"FoL Dean's Office","faculty":"Law","moduleCredit":"4","moduleCode":"LL6193"},"moduleCode":"LL6193"},{"module":{"acadYear":"2019/2020","description":"","title":"An Introduction to Negotiating & Drafting Commercial Contracts","department":"FoL Dean's Office","faculty":"Law","moduleCredit":"4","moduleCode":"LL5193"},"moduleCode":"LL5193"},{"module":{"acadYear":"2019/2020","description":"","title":"International Moots and Other Competitions","department":"FoL Dean's Office","faculty":"Law","moduleCredit":"4","moduleCode":"LL5203"},"moduleCode":"LL5203","semesterData":{"semester":1,"timetable":[]}},{"module":{"acadYear":"2019/2020","description":"","title":"Human Rights in Asia","department":"FoL Dean's Office","faculty":"Law","moduleCredit":"4","moduleCode":"LL6133"},"moduleCode":"LL6133"},{"module":{"acadYear":"2019/2020","description":"","title":"Human Rights in Asia","department":"FoL Dean's Office","faculty":"Law","moduleCredit":"4","moduleCode":"LL5133"},"moduleCode":"LL5133"},{"module":{"acadYear":"2019/2020","description":"International law traditionally concerns itself with the relations between states, yet environmental problems transcend borders.

What can commercial or investment banks and financial regulation achieve in this regard, how is risk management structured, and what academic or other (political) models are used in this connection, how effective are they, e.g. in the capital adequacy and liquidity requirements, and what can or must governments and/or central banks or other regulators do when all fails and financial crises occur? From a legal point of view, an important aspect is the strong public policy undercurrents in the applicable law.\n\nThat is obvious in regulation but may also impact on private law. Another important issuer is that the law applicable to financial products and their regulation is ever more transnationalised and expressed at the international level, especially in terms of transactional and payment finality, financial stability, and even banking resolution facilities or international safety nets. In these circumstances, choice of national laws in the older private international law  approach often mean little and it will be discussed how they may fall seriously short especially in in matters of regulatory oversight and bankruptcy situations.","title":"International Finance","department":"FoL Dean's Office","faculty":"Law","workload":[0,3,0,0,7],"prerequisite":"NUS Compulsory Core Law Curriculum or equivalent.","moduleCredit":"4","moduleCode":"LL4298"},"moduleCode":"LL4298"},{"module":{"acadYear":"2019/2020","preclusion":"LL4313/LL5313/LL6313 Mediation/Conciliation of Inter- & Investor-State Disputes","description":"Recent years have witnessed more state-to-state and investor-state disputes, with a substantial increase in resources spent on binding arbitration.

Questions such as - Are there any ‘universal’ patterns of human behaviour? To what extent is a society’s perception of law influenced or controlled by environmental and econological factors? How are disputes resolved? Is aggression and warfare inherent in the human condition? - will be dealt with. In the second part of the course, these anthropological methods will be applied to a study of the concept of law in diverse societies from a sociological perspective, and to the actual function of law in society. Do patterns of human behaviour discernable in primitive societies hold true in more complex ‘modern’ societies? What are the attributes of a ‘modern’ legal system? Is the concept of ‘law’ in the western sense inevitable and universal in all kinds of societies. What happens to the concept of law in plural societies?

In the first segment, we will examine general theories of statereligion relations, including liberal assumptions of the dominant theory of the separation of church and state (the “disestablishment theory”), the rise and fall of the secularization thesis, and alternative theories.\n\nDuring the second segment, we will examine statereligion relations through topical issues in selected countries in Southeast Asia, including how legal systems in Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia accommodate Syariah Courts, and how separationist claims based on religious difference and identities are advanced in the Philippines and Thailand.","title":"Comparative State and Religion in Southeast Asia","department":"FoL Dean's Office","faculty":"Law","workload":[0,3,0,0,7],"prerequisite":"For law students: NUS Compulsory Core Curriculum or its equivalent\n\nFor non‐law students: 3rd & 4th Year students from Arts & Social Sciences Faculty who has completed PS1101E Introduction to Politics","moduleCredit":"4","moduleCode":"LL4197"},"moduleCode":"LL4197"},{"module":{"acadYear":"2019/2020","description":"","title":"Chinese Maritime Law","department":"FoL Dean's Office","faculty":"Law","moduleCredit":"4","moduleCode":"LL4128"},"moduleCode":"LL4128"},{"module":{"acadYear":"2019/2020","description":"This course aims to equip students with the basic understanding of the law of arbitration to enable them to advise and represent parties in the arbitral process confidence.

Through the examination of the origin, function and pattern of law in primitive and modern societies from a historical, anthropological and sociological perspective, we will try to understand better, the constraints under which ‘law’ in modern society operates, and the limits on the use of law as an instrument of social change. \n\nIn the first part of the course, the student will be introduced to basic ideas in classical anthropology and the sociology of law. Questions such as - Are there any ‘universal’ patterns of human behaviour? To what extent is a society’s perception of law influenced or controlled by environmental and econological factors? How are disputes resolved? Is aggression and warfare inherent in the human condition? - will be dealt with. In the second part of the course, these anthropological methods will be applied to a study of the concept of law in diverse societies from a sociological perspective, and to the actual function of law in \nsociety. Do patterns of human behaviour discernable in primitive societies hold true in more complex ‘modern’ societies? What are the attributes of a ‘modern’ legal system? Is the concept of ‘law’ in the western sense inevitable and universal in all kinds of societies. What happens to the concept of law in plural societies? \n\nTeaching will be by seminars which will include lectures and discussion of assigned readings.

Almost all religions decree the magic power of pure water. To our experience, where there is water, there is life. Water is widely regarded as the “matrix of life”. Nevertheless, various scientific debates are associated with water. For example, unbelievably, in the 1980s French scientist Benveniste and his collaborators proposed the notion of the “memory of water”.\n\nOn the other hand, proteins are the most important functional players for all forms of life.  An increasing spectrum of human diseases more than neurodegenerative diseases is characterized by aggregation of specific proteins, while aggregation of non-specific proteins are associated with aging even down to Escherichia coli. In 2005, we discovered that these “aggregated/insoluble” proteins could marvellously be solubilized in pure water, which thus offers my group to tackle an emerging but challenging problem in biology: molecular mechanisms for neurodegenerative diseases and aging.\n\nIn this module, we will explore how water shaped the emergence and evolution of life and how proteins get aggregated and subsequently gain toxicity to trigger diseases and aging.

The term bioorthogonal chemistry refers to some of these\nchemical reactions that can occur inside living systems without interfering with native biochemical processes. Since its introduction, the concept of the bioorthogonal reaction has enabled the study of many types of biomolecules under native cellular environments. In recent years, it has been expanded to many other fields, materials, nanotechnology and engineering.\n\nThis seminar is intended for junior undergraduates who are interested in equipping themselves with a few very basic but essential set of organic reactions which are most relevant to non-specialists. The module will be conducted in the form of seminar discussion and presentations in a\nhighly interactive manner. Both students and the professor will learn hand-in-hand about the subject of interest, and the students will be required to participate actively in twoway discussion. By using key examples in bioorthogonal chemistry developed in the last decade, the students will\nfocus on interactive learning in unconventional ways (reading, literature search, group discussion, independent studies, presentation, etc).

It is well recognized by the world’s scientific, industrial and political communities that the atmospheric concentration of CO2 has been steadily increasing due to human activities and economic development, which accelerates the greenhouse effect. In 1997, the Kyoto Protocol to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) mandated a reduction of CO2 emission levels to below those of 1990. To reduce the CO2 emission and maintain a desired balance in atmosphere, new technologies have been developed. CO2 capture and storage is one of the approaches. It is also possible to convert CO2 to some reusable hydrocarbons or chemicals through physical, chemical and biological processes. The most important challenge is how to activate CO2 economically as it has high thermodynamic stability. Solar energy should be one of the best candidates because it is totally clean and abundant. Consequently, the highly efficient and selective photochemical reduction systems for CO2 are highly desired. In addition, alternative energy resources and technologies also play vital roles in the reduction of CO2 emission.","title":"FS: Carbon Dioxide and Our Environment","department":"Chemistry","faculty":"Science","workload":[0,2,0,3,5],"moduleCredit":"4","moduleCode":"FMS1208C"},"moduleCode":"FMS1208C"},{"module":{"acadYear":"2019/2020","preclusion":"Students who have read a Freshman Seminar before will be precluded from reading a second Freshman Seminar.\n\nStudents staying in Residential Colleges in UTown who will be reading or have read the Junior Seminars will be precluded from reading Freshman Seminar in the Faculty.","description":"Gemstones have survived the centuries and gathered a\nwealth of history and romance around them.

Examples are plentiful, such as \"Molecular Biology\", \"Molecular\nGenetics\", \"Molecular Electronics\", \"Molecular Medicine\", \"Molecular\nInformatics\", \"Molecular Engineering\", \"Molecular Pharmacology\", \"Molecular\nEcology\", \"Molecular Machines\"... etc. In the \"Science of Molecules\" viz.\n\"Chemistry\", the focus is on molecular design, molecular structure, molecular\nsynthesis, molecular activity and molecular function. The function depends on\nthe activity, which in turn is governed by the design and structure. Chemical\nsynthesis is generally guided by good structural design. Molecular structures\ntherefore are the fundamentals in molecular science. In this seminar series, we\nshall discuss with the class the underlying principles of chemical structures, with\nspecific focus on the interrelationship among the five S's of molecules -Science,\nStructure, Stability, Symmetry, and, Space. The mode of teaching and learning\nfocuses on group learning, interaction, independent enquiry, project work,\nmolecular models, and public presentations. Writing and presentations are\nessential elements in this freshmen seminar. There will also be hands-on\nsessions on molecular models and molecular origami.\n\nSeminar website address (if available):\nhttp://ivle.nus.edu.sg/module/student/?CourseID=99ddda7b-9100-455c-8b59-\n88580af53144&ClickFrom=Outline","title":"FS: The 5 S's of Molecules","department":"Chemistry","faculty":"Science","workload":[2,0,3,1,4],"moduleCredit":"4","moduleCode":"FMS1202C"},"moduleCode":"FMS1202C"},{"module":{"acadYear":"2019/2020","description":"This is a module designed for chemistry majors and deals with laboratory experiments on selected topics of basic chemistry prinicples with theoretical contents selected from CM1111, CM1121 and CM1131.

We formulate linear programming (LP) problems and solve them by the simplex method (algorithm). We also look at the geometrical aspect and develop the mathematical theory of the simplex method. We further study problems which may be formulated using graphs and networks. These optimization problems can be solved by using linear or integer programming approaches. However, due to its graphical structure, it is easier to handle these problems by using network algorithmic approaches. Applications of LP and network optimization will be demonstrated. This course should help the student in developing confidence in solving many similar problems in daily life that require much computing. \n\n\n\nMajor topics: Introduction to LP: solving 2-variable LP via graphical methods.

In this regard, the importance and value of simple models, the robustness of the theoretical modeling data and its comparison with controlled experiments will be emphasized. However, it is equally important to distinguish those modeling efforts and controlled experiments from the fundamental underlying theory and data from natural systems.

What is the role of randomization in the design of scientific experiments\n(for instance, why are patients randomly assigned to treatments in a\nmedical trial)?

How has statistical thinking been used and abused in the history of IQ\ntesting?\n\n4. In the analysis of environmental problems like global warming scientific\nmodels are often used which are deterministic (roughly speaking, such\nmodels predict a definite output for a given input). A statistical model on\nthe other hand gives predictions in the form of probabilities of different\npossible outcomes. How can the deep physical understanding\nembedded in the deterministic models be reconciled with statistical\napproaches to quantifying uncertainty and risk, and why is quantifying\nuncertainty important?\n\n5. How can fake random numbers generated on a computer by non-random\nrules sometimes do complicated calculations that aren’t easily done by\nother means?\n\n6.

Specifically,\n- The philosophical strand will expose students to some of the early conceptions of space, time and matter. Principally ideas of Descartes and Leibniz with emphasis on Kant’s concept of space and time. The mathematization of science in the 17th Century - from Descartes use of coordinate geometry to Galileo’s Principle of Inertia and the mathematics of motion will serve to showcase how the early concepts took shape.\n- The mathematical strand will serve to showcase how Euclid’s axiomatic approach to geometry formed the basis of subsequent generalizations that led to the characterization of space and time. Here students will be introduced to structures such as topological spaces, manifolds and Riemannian spaces that form the basis of the space-time fabric.\n- The physical strand will touch on the notion of physical symmetries and its relation to geometry. In particular, Galilean and Special relativity will serve to elucidate how the motion of particles in the space-time fabric reveals its geometrical structure. This will culminate in Einstein’s Equivalence Principle and its implications leading up to the General theory of Relativity.\n\nThe aim here is to provide a coherent exposition of how the three disciplines come together in providing insights into the nature of space, time and matter. The questions raised will force students to examine and reflect on the extent to which our commonsensical views of the physical space accurately describes the way nature really is; and to what degree this view is tenable on the basis of detailed quantitative reasons and empirical evidence. Hopefully, through this analysis, students will appreciate the subtle interplay between the realm of ideas and mental constructs and that of experiments and scientific facts.","title":"Space, Time & Matter: The Shape and Size of the Cosmos","department":"University Scholars Programme","faculty":"University Scholars Programme","workload":[0,4,0,2,4],"moduleCredit":"4","moduleCode":"UNL2201","attributes":{"su":true}},"moduleCode":"UNL2201","semesterData":{"semester":1,"timetable":[{"classNo":"L02","startTime":"1400","endTime":"1600","weeks":[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13],"venue":"USP-TR1","day":"Monday","lessonType":"Seminar-Style Module Class","size":15},{"classNo":"L01","startTime":"1400","endTime":"1600","weeks":[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13],"venue":"USP-TR1","day":"Monday","lessonType":"Seminar-Style Module Class","size":15},{"classNo":"L01","startTime":"1200","endTime":"1400","weeks":[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13],"venue":"USP-SR3","day":"Wednesday","lessonType":"Seminar-Style Module Class","size":15},{"classNo":"L02","startTime":"1600","endTime":"1800","weeks":[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13],"venue":"USP-SR2","day":"Thursday","lessonType":"Seminar-Style Module Class","size":15}]}},{"module":{"acadYear":"2019/2020","description":"Women around the world struggle with the various fallouts from climate crisis.

While acquiring some practical business skills students, draw the connection between what has been called rhetorics in the humanities and marketing, sales and negotiation in business studies. A discussion on the potential of “transformative entrepreneurship” for societies will round up the semester.","title":"Creation of Value","department":"University Scholars Programme","faculty":"University Scholars Programme","workload":[0,4,0,3,3],"prerequisite":"Not applicable to USP First-Tier modules.","corequisite":"Not applicable to USP modules.","moduleCredit":"4","moduleCode":"UPI2209","attributes":{"su":true}},"moduleCode":"UPI2209"},{"module":{"acadYear":"2019/2020","preclusion":"Not applicable to USP modules.","description":"This course provides theoretical understanding and empirical knowledge about social movements and their relationship with law and society.

A good programme design in a good proposal can lead to better implementation and management, and sets the stage for good monitoring and evaluation. In turn, a project executed well has better chances for re-funding and expansion by donors.

who we are. Yet, it remains a highly disputed concept. This course will problematize key theoretical debates by exploring Singapore’s national identity and examining how Singapore and regional countries have been shaped by interaction with colonialism and beyond. Drawing on a Multimodal Discourse Analysis (MDA), which allows us to analyse image and text interactions, we explore how national icons are created in public media and ask the question of how national identity still remains a powerful and emotional entity that rallies or divides people of different ethnicities, religious, cultural and socio-economic backgrounds.","title":"What is a nation?

For a start, this module introduces six dominant modes of questioning from the perspective of computational thinking, design thinking, engineering, philosophy, science, and social sciences. These six perspectives serve as a starting point to introduce all undergraduate students to different modes of questioning across these disciplines, and provide an initial exposure to how scholars from these disciplines pursue specific lines of questioning of everyday issues. We emphasize that while there is only limited time and space within one module to devote to specific disciplinary lines of investigations, we encourage all students to actively think about other lines of questioning, other questions that need to be asked, particularly in disciplines not represented in this introductory platform as we move through this journey together.
