| Description |
This course aims to provide an overview of the structure and function of the human body. Fundamental principles of bioscience such as cell biology, anatomy, and physiology will be introduced. The relationship between human health and the environment will be discussed. We will also analyze factors that disrupt normal body functions, explore mechanisms of disease, and learn about the prevention of diseases through the control of risk factors. From the physiological and anatomical perspective, students will be guided to analyze the marvels and limitations of the human body, and what they would do if they are to ‘re-design’ it. Students can also try to design, conceptualize or build prototypes of devices that can be beneficial to human well-being or prevent diseases. |

| Description |
This course is designed to help you improve your negotiation skills. The focus of this class will be on how people actually negotiate in the real world and what you can do to become a better negotiator. You negotiate almost daily, perhaps without even realizing it. Negotiating over the cost of a product is an obvious example, but how about deciding what movie to see with friends or how to divide the workload of a student project? Even romance typically involves negotiations. Business people negotiate every day across countless situations, whether it is negotiating your first salary, getting team members to agree on how to do a project, working with suppliers and distributors, or clarifying work duties with your boss or employees. In this class you will learn how to negotiate by actually negotiating in different situations. The first hour each class will involve an experiential negotiation where you will engage in a real negotiation with another student or team of students. The second hour we will post the results on the board and discuss the negotiation exercise. This is a very experiential course so your participation is vital, both in the role-playing and the discussion afterwards.
