    • Genetics

    • In Person/On Campus

    Did you know that if one person’s DNA was unraveled and placed end to end, it would stretch to the sun and back at least 60 times? Or that humans and chimps share a surprising 98.8 percent of their DNA? How can we be so similar and yet so different? How does all that relate to having your mother’s eyes, or your father’s nose? Or even your great grandmother’s hair? And how did complex, multicellular organisms evolve from simpler, single-celled ones? We begin with an exploration of Mendelian genetics to determine how simple traits are passed from parents to offspring, delve into more complex concepts such as sex-linked traits and polygenic inheritance, to move towards understanding the genetics of inherited disorders. We will also take a look into the fascinating world of 6 million years of evolution. Furthermore, we learn and practice some of the methods and techniques that geneticists use to explore these concepts, such as PCR, gel electrophoresis, and bacterial transformations. 

    Learning objectives

    • Predict the impact of mutations and the inheritance patterns of different diseases.
    • Utilize biotechnological laboratory skills to determine the genotypes of individuals and explore the process of transformation, a key technique in genetic engineering. 
    • Research and present a genetically inherited disease/syndrome including characteristics such as genetic heterogeneity, penetrance and expressivity.

    International Relations

    • In Person/On Campus

    It’s the late 1800s and you are the leader of a European country: the Austrian Empire or the Kingdom of Prussia (Germany) or smaller but influential countries such as the Kingdom of Two Sicilies or Switzerland. What decisions will you make? This is your reality for the next three weeks, as you undertake the European Leadership Project, a simulation that focuses on Europe and its political, military, economic, and cultural developments from the end of the Napoleonic wars (1815) until the start of World War I (1914).

    As presidents, tsars, popes or dukes, you present your decisions, answer questions posed by your opponents, try to solicit support for your quest and tackle international crises, aiming to win the final vote. Through rigorous research and analysis of your own and your opponents’ decisions, you gain a broad understanding of the study of the origins of modern international politics, emphasizing on significant themes such as foreign policy and the role of great powers, superpowers, ethnic and religious movements and terrorist groups in the arena of international affairs. Among others, you focus on the relationship between constructivism and realism in International Relations, evaluate the importance of good relations between countries with respect to the economy and evaluate why the 1929 Geneva Conference was necessary.

    Learning Objectives

    • Develop cognitive skills such as primary source analysis, logical inferences, and map construction and interpretation.
    • Evaluate, synthesize and analyze key facts and ideas productively, to deepen your understanding of modern reality and the world issues which concern policymakers and citizens today.
    • Discuss and interpret key ideas in International Relations, such as the Security Dilemma, the contribution of nationalism to the rise of imperialism and totalitarian regimes.

    League of English Superheroes 

    • Online

    Save humanity—join the League of English Superheroes! Just like Superman and Batman, students are called on to complete exciting missions to help protect the world. In this intensive, 10-lesson English course, students work together in a creative learning community and use the world of superheroes to strengthen their English language skills through storytelling, discussion, and hands-on challenges. The course is designed especially for students who want to build confidence and fluency in English, including those preparing for exams.

    Throughout the course, students explore superhero stories using ideas from literature, science, psychology, technology, and social studies. Each “mission” helps students build vocabulary, improve grammar, and develop creativity, critical thinking, and communication skills in English. By reading, watching, discussing, and creating, students learn how English is used to explain ideas, tell stories, and persuade an audience.

    Students practice different types of writing, including stories, descriptions, informational texts, and opinion pieces. Using a variety of materials such as texts, videos, images, and short articles, they analyze superhero worlds and then create their own original characters, settings, and plots. Interactive discussions, debates, and short presentations help students develop spoken fluency and confidence using English in real-world situations.

    Beyond live lessons, students complete guided activities that allow them to apply what they learn in creative and meaningful ways. They may write origin stories, explore ethical dilemmas, design superhero-themed projects, or solve problems connected to their imaginary worlds. By the end of the course, students “graduate” from the League of English Superheroes by creating their own secret superhero identity and taking part in an original final challenge.

    Lessons include interactive instruction, group work, independent tasks, and feedback from the instructor. Cooperative learning and positive peer feedback are key parts of the course, helping students grow as writers, storytellers, and confident English users in a supportive environment.

    Learning Objectives

    • Read, analyze, and discuss superhero fiction and related texts in English.
    • Practice writing narratives, descriptive texts, informational writing, and opinion pieces in English.
    • Use course strategies to create multiple original works of creative writing.
    • Take part in the writing workshop process by planning, drafting, editing, and revising their work.
    • Develop confidence in speaking and presenting ideas in English through discussion and presentations.

    More than Just a Game… Video Game Design in Unity (English)

    • Online

    This course introduces students to the fundamentals of video game design. Utilizing a project-based approach and the Unity Game Engine it aims to teach the basic theory and concepts of video game design from the perspective of a video game designer. At the same time, students learn the core skills of basic computer programing using the C# language as well as visual scripting.

    Designing video games is not only about programming game mechanics but it is also about creating an entertaining experience for the player. This course introduces the concept and theory of “player centric” game design which includes topics like; the essential elements of a game, the structure of a video game, what the core mechanics of a game are and how they work with the user interface to create gameplay. Along with design elements, student learn the different roles of the design team members in the video game industry.

    The programming language C# is introduced along with visual scripting using Playmaker. By the end of the course, students will be able to create interactivity and game play through scripting, using functions, finite state machines, variables, and if statements.

    By the end of the course students should be able to understand video game design theory. They will utilize this theory and scripting skills to design and create a working prototype game that engages and entertains the player.

    Students are expected to be familiar with standard computer operations (e.g., login, cut & paste, email attachments, compressing files, etc.) before enrolling in the course. It is recommended to have completed the ‘Introduction to Java’ or the ‘Scratch’ course. The course will be conducted in English.
