English Composition III trains students to summarize, report, criticize, and conduct research. During the first term, students are trained to summarize and paraphrase as they learn to incorporate outside sources into their papers. They learn to use reported material without plagiarizing and to incorporate ideas from outside sources to support and prove a thesis. Students are also given the opportunity to do critical writing with an emphasis on general principles of logic and argumentation. They are encouraged to investigate the soundness of a conclusion, the validity of a judgment, the value of a short story. Four papers of around 3-5 pages constitute the main substance of the first semester, culminating in 10-page mini-research piece. The goal of the course is for students to achieve high-level competence in writing English prose and critical assessments of academic and other material.

The specific goal of this section of Composition 3, as a year-long course, is to prepare students for applications to (and performance in) master’s programs in humanities and social science fields as regards English language proficiency, logical argumentation, and research skills.

This course is designed primarily for first-year foreign students although it also opens to interested local students to experience Taiwanese culture together. This lecture opens with a self-introduction and group assignment. Students then will be divided into a group of five, one local plus four foreign, to visit different locations every other week starting March 14. The point of interests may include but not limited to night markets, temples, memorial halls, NTU museums, handcraft and cultural centers, ecoparks, and historic relicts in Daan district. Each group needs to send their reports to the instructor three days prior to the five-minute presentation in the next meeting. The instructor will then summarize and conclude the reports in the second-hour lecture.
1. Help international students to mix and mingle with local students through the collaborate projects.

This course firstly introduces the Hebrew Bible to explore the ancient Hebrew culture and the relationship between man and God. Then we enter the world of the Greek Mythology by reading Homer’s epics: Iliad and Odyssey. Following the Trojan legend, we read Virgil’s Aeneid to explore how the Romans created their national epic based on the story of Troy. Each of these works will be read closely, analyzed carefully, and discussed with its own cultural and historical context. We will proceed mainly in two forms: lectures and small group discussions. Every week, students are expected to finish reading materials and post response on the forum in the class website. In the beginning of each class, we will have a 5-minute quiz. Finally, students are required to make a short oral group presentation (10 minutes) in class. This course is designed as a survey course which encompasses major prose and poetry of western writers from the Hebrew Bible to Virgil’s Aeneid. By focusing on these canonical works, this course aims to lead students to explore the beginning of human civilization, ancient cultures, and important classical legends. At the end of the course, students will be able to:
1. Understand important ideas in ancient, classical, and medieval literatures and cultures.
2. Analyze important themes and motives in these literary works.
3. Get familiar with the Hebrew, Greek, and Roman traditions.

The World Trade Organization (WTO) serves as the only and the most important multilateral institution addressing the rules of trade between nations. In todays globalized world, as trade increases and regional market integration deepens, legal issues of international economic relations are becoming more and more complicated. The issues facing the WTO are widening and go beyond a purely trade dimension. It might reach cross-cutting issues on foreign investment,
environment, food safety, disease control, public moral, culture protection and human right. It is of immense importance for law students to have some broad understanding about WTO laws so as to know the essence of globalization and economic integration. The basic knowledge of WTO is also useful for understanding other fields of law, such as
intellectual property law, service related laws (financial regulations, telecommunication laws, among others), international health law, and public international law. This course will be conducted in English.

Main topic to be discussed:

1. The WTO: History and structure

2. WTO Dispute Settlement

3. Tariffs

4. Quantitative Restrictions

5. National Treatment

6. Most-Favored-Nation Treatment

7. Regional Trade Agreements

8. General Exceptions: GATT Article XX

9. Dumping and Antidumping

10. Subsidies and Countervailing Duties

11. Safeguards

12. Agreement on Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures

13. Agreement on Technical Barriers to Trade

14. Trade in Services

15. Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights

The course is designed to cover the fundamental aspects of the WTO law so that participants will be equipped with basic WTO law knowledge and skills.

The summer training camp is an intensive collaborative lab course held once every year. This year this course will take in about 22 students, mostly incoming graduate students from participating PIs lab, but also highly motivated undergraduates. The course will run from August 5th to Aug 29th, 5 days a week, and >8 hr a day. Final presentation will be held on September 4. By the end of the course, the students not only will know their fellow students very well, they will also lean some of the current neurobiology techniques. In the first week, basic neuroscience techniques, such as perfusion, gross anatomy of the brain, stereotaxic surgery techniques, frozen section, Nissl stain, immunohistochemistry of the brain sections, neuronal culture, and behavior methods will be taught. After this preparatory week, the following weeks will be divided into rotations, in 3-day blocks. There will be 4 rotations. In each station, one or two PI will be in charge. In these stations, there will be labs for calcium and voltage imaging of the culture cell, cellular electrophysiology, field potential recording in the brain slice, extracellular multiple single unit, EMG and EEG recording in free moving rats, and functional brain imaging with animal PET and MRI. Hand-on experiments will be emphasized throughout. The summer training camp is an intensive collaborative lab course held once every year. By the end of the course, the students will know the available neurobiology techniques by heart.

Embryology is an old but fascinating subject. From the morphological

observation of chick embryo development to the unravel of the molecular

control of embryonic development in a variety of organisms, we have gone a

long way. However, the more we learn the less we know. It is a miracle to see

how a single cell develop into a fully functional adult. This course is design

to build the ground for students with interest in embryology. We will discuss

the basic principles and molecular controls of embryonic development. In

particular, we will emphasize the progression from immature gametes,

fertilization, cleavage to gastrulation (i.e. the formation of gut). The cell

fate and embryonic axis formation will also be included. The popular

experimental models used by current developmental biologist will also be

examined in detail.

1. Learn the developmental processes, regulatory mechanisms during embryogenesis.

2. Expose to developmental biology research by paper discussion

3. Stimulate scientific thinking by fomulating a proposal
