教學目標
Digital Humanities, a research activity that aims at the creation and usage of digital archives, the transformation of cultural heritage into digital objects or the analysis of humanistic material in digital format, has become an established research branch within the Humanities, which provides new or alternative views on culture, history, arts, literature, music, languages etc. Using the potentials of the computer, i.e. its large storage capacity and its capacity to search through data, to reorganize data, to find patterns within data and to visualize data in various views, allows to create and explore large and unexploited data sets. Many of the analysis-related activities in digital humanities can be handled with specific software solutions, e.g. GIS implementations of KWIC toos. When using these specific software solutions, only a basic understanding of the main concepts and a procedural knowledge of where and when to click is required. Yet, data have in most cases to be generated first, e.g. extracted from larger text corpora, or transformed into a specific format in order to fulfill the input requirements of a specific software. To overcome these two problems, knowledge of a general purpose programming language is helpful or required. In addition to the general features of a such a programming language, shared by many alternative programming languages, e.g. opening files, extracting information, and reorganizing this new information into new formats, some general purpose programming languages come with powerful add-ons, that can turn them into tools for specific analyses. These general purpose languages, combined with these highly specific add-ons can replace specialized software solutions implemented in graphical interfaces. This liberation from the graphical interface unleashed the full power of the computer. The repeated processing of similar data becomes possible, without having to go to the same sequence of clicking hundreds or thousands of times. In addition, the freedom to generate creative solutions for analysis and visualization, specific to the research question and not specific to the company that produces the interface, lays the foundation for groundbreaking and innovative research. Python is an excellently designed and frequently taught programming language for these two seemingly opposing purposes. Easy to learn and applicable to all kind of data acquisition and data processing problems, Python can be extended by powerful modules to do corpus analyses, natural language processing, pattern identification, statistical analyses, geographic analyses, time-line analyses or network analyses. These properties have made Python to become the most frequently and extensively employed programming language in the Humanities, in teaching as well as in research: Using the same, simple-to-learn, basic Python syntax in advanced modules, users can concentrate on the concepts, the predicates that implement them and the design of creative solutions for analysis and visualization.

課程內容與進度
This course aims to promote insight, practice and confidence in the usage of the programming language in general and of Python more specifically. Students should by the end of the course understand the general principles of using a programming language, become acquainted with the principles of Python, and have develop literacy in that language. In addition students should be aware of the kind of programming that is common in the humanities (text analysis, network analysis etc) and which add-ons are available for these tasks. Finally students should explore as many of these add-ons as possible. Doing this work on their own data and creating their own solutions will show them that they are in state to produce exciting, innovative and thought provoking results. Week 1 and 2 starts with the very basics. Learning how to code is easy if somebody helps you with the start. The first steps will thus be very slow, making sure that students understood and master the new material. Week 3 and 4 will introduce students to the task of text processing. They will learn how to read files from a file system, how to clean them and compute a frequency distribution over words. Frequency distributions will be produced for long texts and for large collections of texts. Week 5 and 6 deal with preprocessing text. Students will experiment with some of the elementary tools to analyze their textual data. Week 7 and 8 are more theoretical. We will discuss some of the basic programming principles, common practices and where to find documentation. In week 9 and 10, students will first write a program to compute the readability of texts. Next, students will implement the basic algorithm that is behind authorship attribution. Week 11 and 12 will introduce students to the concept of Object Oriented Programming. Students will implement a network structure to analyze relations between people on Twitter. In week 13 and 14, we start working on more real applications. We will work on systems for archiving and searching through collections of text. We introduce students to the field of Information Retrieval and build a simple information retrieval system. In week 15 to 17, we create a web application to search through a library of PDF files. This will be our first real application ready for use by end-users. Theses weeks introduce students to many modules available in the standard library as well as third-party modules.

教學目標
The goal of this class is to train the first year Chemistry majored Master students to read and summarize research articles by actually doing the 3 written assignments. We will also introduce how to perform literature search via databases, format of scientific paper, ACS style, how to prepare Power Point slides and poster, paper submit and review process in this class. We hope by both class discussion and written assignments, student not only learn about the editorial process of scientific paper, but also able to summarize article that might be helpful for his/her research project.

*******WE STUDY THEORY THROUGH FILMS!*******課程討論透過電影文本進行

The Contemporary Cultural Theory series is designed to introduce major schools of cultural theory that informed modern English studies after the 1960s, including Marxism, Postcolonialism, Feminism, Gender Studies (Gay and Lesbian studies and queer theory), etc.
Marxism and Postcolonialism offered in this semester is part of the Contemporary Cultural Theory series. Both theoretical schools will be introduced through: a selection of critical works, case studies, and exercises (chart drawing, message readings from the press or media). In addition, students will learn to connect theory, text, and context through workshop reports.

教學目標
This course will introduce and develop a wide range of leadership theories advanced by scholars over the past few decades. One course objective is for each student to develop a working knowledge of the terminology and theories used in academic research on leadership. Another objective is for each student to develop his or her ability to critically evaluate and integrate diverse, and often conflicting, leadership theories. A third objective is for students to use academic models of leadership to critically analyze contemporary, practitioner ("popular") models of leadership. The final course objective is to enable each student to apply the theory of leadership to case studies and real world situations.
