| Putting Ideas into Words (EL991-1A ) Here’s a challenge: what if writing could be more than just throwing words on a page? In this course, you’ll learn not only about different writing styles, but also about writing as a means of figuring out a problem and communicating your thought process to the world. This week-long workshop will explore the balance between self-expression and effective communication, offering a unique view into the world of academia (學術(shù)界). You’ll get the know-how of college writing, the rules that no student should live without. Comments will be given to students and you’ll make great progress in your writing if you take this course! | High School as a Social Laboratory: An Introduction to Sociology (SO902-3B) In this class, we’ll learn about broad sociological theories, but we’ll discuss those theories in relation to what sociologists have done before studying American high schools and youngsters. We’ll explore the issues such as gender, race, class, and violence in society at large, and the ways in which American high schools reflect those social issues. We’ll watch films and documentaries, such as “Mean Girls” and “Bowling for Columbine”, that make these connections, and you’ll write papers making these connections for yourself based on your own experiences. |

| Children’s Thinking (BI911-1B) This course will introduce students to children’s thinking. It will explore the ever-changing views on cognitive (認知的), social and language development from newborns to middle childhood. Specific topics include: What do babies know about objects, numbers, categories and people? Why is language learning easier for children? What can we learn from children with developmental disorders? Through lectures, discussions, projects and in-class activities, students will gain an understanding of how scientists study children’s thinking and what their work has taught us. | Creative Writing Workshop (EL905-4A ) This course will excite young writers with many tools and approaches to the writing process in either fiction or poetry. It will inspire you to experiment with new writing techniques, such as how to describe a person, a scene, or a situation, etc. It is just for students who have a serious interest in creative writing, who are not afraid to experiment with structure, and who want to develop a daily writing practice. In the group writing classes, students will have the opportunity to explore both genres (體裁) whether enrolled in the poetry or fiction workshop. |

| The Secrets of Learning and Memory (BN901-3A) Individual memory abilities vary greatly. There are famous people with strong memories who can remember 5,000 playing cards in exact sequence, and others who cannot store any long-term memories, where each morning is a strange new world. And you may wonder how the brain manages to identify and sort memories into different types, then keep them from 5 seconds to a lifetime, waiting for a signal to recall them in great detail. Students completing this exciting course will gain useful knowledge of how the brain learns, remembers and forgets. | Persuasive Communication (TA905-1A) This course will introduce you to the arts of organization, style, and delivery to help make you a more confident and persuasive public speaker. You will deliver speeches to your classmates and receive detailed comments from both the teacher and one another. Lectures on developing outlines, coping with speaker anxiety, and making effective use of visual aids will help you improve your skills in public speaking. Building on these skills, the later part of the course will teach you how to prepare a persuasive message based on your individual interests and goals. |
