Various behavioral science theories will be covered (e.g., person-environment interaction, decision-making, group dynamics, stereotype threat, personality traits). Discussions of research findings to applied career practices will also be included. Students will develop a working-knowledge of these theories through interactive lectures, guided class discussions, case-based readings, and group activities that require them to think critically and flexibly about theory in order to generate solutions for real-world problems.

Provides an introduction to the study of the human communication and language capacity and includes an overview of three areas of inquiry: language science, language development in children, and language disability in children.

<p>“Chinese I-IV” are compulsory courses for international undergraduate students, which aims to help them get basic knowledge of the language, practical conversation skills and some cultural knowledge in the language, so that they can adept themselves into the life in China better and get prepared for potential further studies work in China and communications with Chinese speakers. In the series of Chinese courses students’ skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing will all be trained and developed.

<p>Introduction to theory and research on both old and new communication technologies; focus will be on how these technological systems develop and are used, and what implications of these systems have for culture and society.
