This course discusses the chemistry of alkanes and the fundamental concepts of functional groups in organic compounds. The functional groups include alkenes, alkynes, aromatic hydrocarbons, alcohols, phenols, organohalogens, ethers, epoxides, and their derivatives. In each topic, the students will be introduced to the structures of the functional groups and the nomenclatures (common names and IUPAC names). Physical properties, preparations, reactions and visual tests will also be discussed. Inter-conversion of the related functional groups and their reaction mechanisms are also included. 1. Applynames and properties of organic compounds according to their functional groups. 2. Describe chemical reactions to synthesise organic compounds and inter conversion to different functional groups. 3. Explain mechanisms and intermediates in organic reactions based on stability of reactive species and stereochemistry.

Overviews of food systems beyond enumerating the problems with the current food system (including problems with “alternative” food strategies) and begins to build ideas of what a sustainable food system might include. The focus on particular strategies, policies, and business arrangements that could be part of a sustainable food system in discussed in developing a sustainable future. This subject encourages multidisciplinary approach in realizing sustainable food systems. 1. Compare food systems locally and globally in terms of i) the health of students, staff and families and ii) the impacts of food choices on our community and environment. 2. Communicate about the importance of healthy and sustainable food to a variety of audiences. 3. Audit a system related to health, nutrition and food.

This course has two primary objectives. Firstly, it will present the theories and associated practices concerned with sustainable management, policy and governance. Concepts such as sustainable consumption and production, non-structural management, and sustainable policy making will be covered. Emphasis is placed on public and private sector governance and their different approaches to the integrated management of environmental, social and economic concerns. Secondly, current environmental policies – water, energy and waste – at both governmental and corporate levels will be analysed in relation to the theories covered in the first part of the course. Malaysian and global perspectives on these environmental policies are analysed. Furthermore, the key policy developments in the latest international sustainability reporting procedures, such as the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) will be covered. By the end of the course, participants will be equipped to i) evaluate the effectiveness of corporate or public sustainability strategies and ii) integrate different sustainable approaches into corporate and public sector settings. Case studies will be drawn from local and international scenarios. Particular emphasis will be placed on team-work and effective communication skills so that course participants can contribute to behaviour change approaches and corporate sustainability strategies. 1. Analyze the different theories and concepts related to sustainable management, policy and governance 2. Evaluate different policy options for a specific sector or industry and give reasons for identifying the most sustainable solution 3. Clearly communicate a corporate sustainable strategy and demonstrate the environmental & economic trade-offs, strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats Malaysia-Japan International Institute of Technology UTMKL Lecture and Discussion, Team Assessment, Presentation, Case Study, Final Examination week 1, week 2 – 3, etc. Prof Dr Zuriati Zakaria conditional MMJS 1133 1.

Spatial thinking has become increasingly significant in the field of cultural geography because it allows us to pay attention to trans-regional cultural flows and their effects on a range of different scales, as well as how similar cultural phenomena bear different cultural implications in diverse local contexts. More importantly, various forms of cultural logic underlying the power mechanism of space have bearing on the subject formations of different identities; for example, we might consider the power effects of familial space on queer subjects, or the implications of urban gentrification on homeless people. To understand how the power mechanism works, it is important to attend to the complexity of the ways in which politics, economics, culture and society are interwoven in the production of space. Based on the conceptual framework, this course covers four main themes: a theoretical introduction, landscape and representation, identity politics and trans-border cultural flows/geopolitics. The first two sections will give students an understanding of the epistemology and methodology of space, with an emphasis on ways of mapping meanings in landscapes and rethinking the nature/culture divide, in order to reveal the importance of space and geography. The section covering identity politics will then introduce important issues concerning the questions of identity organized around gender/sexuality, race, and class to emphasize how identity politics are always situated in different local social contexts. The last section of this course focuses on trans-border cultural flows and geopolitics to help students comprehend the links between geography, state territoriality, world power politics and popular culture. Some readings in the class are quite complex; however, for those who are interested in learning spatial thinking and cultural politics, these readings will help them cultivate cultural sensitivity in analyzing the issues of identity and space in everyday life. College of Science 1. Class Participation (10%): Students are expected to read the designated readings before class and participate in class discussions. 2. Group Presentations (20%): Each team has a minimum of 15 minutes for each presentation. 3. Final Report (70%): A reflection on the theoretical concepts that we have discussed in class or a case study taken from everyday life (the report can be written in English or Chinese) should be submitted by the end of the semester.

[For the complete info, please refer to http://homepage.ntu.edu.tw/~josephw/principles_micro_15F.htm ] This is the introductory class for the principles of microeconomics. It serves as an introduction of economics to an audience that are not familiar with Calculus. (Those who have took Calculus should consider taking microeconomics instead.) One interesting feature of this class is there will be various classroom experiments throughout the semester, and students are expected to participate actively in them. This is a course taught in English, and all assignments are in English. If you feel that you would be in a disadvantaged position, please take other principles classes instead. The Goal of this class is to introduce how economists think (without the math required for microeconomics), and, help you think like an economist! Specifically, we will see how economists observe real world phenomenon, build simplified models of reality, derive theories to provide policy advice, and test implications with empirical or experimental data. College of Management There are no prerequisites for this course. JOSEPH TAO-YI WANG Monday 5 Wednesday 5 Friday 234 ECON1004 4 The upper limit of the number of non-majors: 150.

ECON 7014 is the first course in the sequence of econometrics. The course is composed of two parts: statistics and econometrics. In the first part, statistics, we introduce the necessary tools and techniques that are essential in econometric analysis. In the second part, econometrics, we study the estimation and inference of a series of well-known econometric models and estimators. In this process, we will make extensive use of the statistical tools and techniques developed in the first part of the course. The goal of the course is to prepare students for research in various fields of study, including macroeconomics, applied microeconomics, and econometric theory. Students will learn to analyze data, construct models, and select estimation strategies to test theories and answer economic questions.
