AY2021/22 Term 2

Upon completion of the course, students will be able to:

- Gain broad awareness of care landscape and ecosystem in Singapore. 

- Understand the importance of, and factors leading to smart healthcare. 

- Conceptualise and design an end-to-end technological solution to solve a relevant healthcare problem. 

- Gain good understanding of constraints and limitations of operationalising smart healthcare.

This course aims to equip students with the necessary skills to become effective and empathetic managers of people in dynamic multicultural environments. In the course, students will learn analytical frameworks that will enable them to gain deeper understanding of existing problems to do with inequality and diversity in contemporary Asian societies. The course will also help students to identify their personal cultural intelligence based on self-reflective assessment tools.

Students will be trained in the tools and techniques of fieldwork, participatory research, and qualitative data analysis. Our approach will be an iterative one in which we will regularly refine our codes and analytical themes based on the emergent patterns in the field notes. We will use a software platform (www.dedoose.com) that will enable us to approach the analytical challenge together as a team. The tasks of analysing field notes and then coding them in preparation for writing analytic memos will take up the major portion of our in-class time. This research training will be excellent preparation for anyone taking on an independent study or thesis which involves primary research. Participants in the task force will be required to undertake regular visits to for interviews and field visits around Singapore. However, research methodologies will have to be adapted to suit the circumstances of the pandemic, and this may include an online qualitative research process.

The objective of this course is to gain understanding of basic concepts of economics of health and health care. By the end of the course, students will be equipped to evaluate current health care policy issues from an economic perspective.

This course enables students to learn from and interact with the partners on real-world issues, problems, and policies related to the family and the society at large, especially for the case of Singapore. Students start with some economic theories, and will need to extend quickly to other disciplines such as sociology, social work, psychology, law, and politics, and hence inter-disciplinary in nature. The topics to be covered are experiential and evolving, according to the current issues or challenges faced by the partners. In essence, students learn not just theories, but also have an opportunity to contribute in actual research and practices of the partners.

This course aims to help students: Understand the keys theories and strategies in Monetary Policy and Financial Markets Management especially from the Central Bank's point of view, Solve real-world problems to a Central Bank (related to Monetary Policy or Financial Markets) and learn how to work in a project group, Gain insight into financial markets an well as the business environment and culture in Vietnam through mini cultural activities and Vietnam theme presentations, Develop potential networking, and other life skills through the study mission (if travel al- lowed) and by interacting with business leaders in Vietnam (through guest speaker sessions).

By the end of this course, students will have mastered  descriptive  and  summary  statistics,  probability  axioms,  discrete  univariate  probability  distributions,  continuous  univariate distributions, regression, means, variance, covariance, sampling distributions, central limit theorems, point v. interval estimations, one-, two-, multiple-sample hypothesis tests;

By the end of the course, students will be able to:

• Explain the key drivers of the creative industries.

• Explain the business models of cultural content producers.

• Explain the key features of the creator economy and social media entertainment.

• Explain how place and culture influence the succcess of the creative industries.

• Apply their knowledge and skills to a real-world client project.

• Develop networking and communication skills through interactions with company executives and
