Course Description
The course illustrates the way in which economists view the world. You
will learn about basic tools of micro- and macroeconomic analysis and, by
applying them, you will understand the behavior of households, firms and
government. Problems include: trade and specialization; the operation of
markets; industrial structure and economic welfare; the determination of
aggregate output and price level; fiscal and monetary policy and foreign
exchange rates. The purpose of this course is to introduce you to a new way
of looking at the world. The course focuses on core economic concepts and
provides opportunities to practice using them in contexts like you will
encounter throughout your lives. It also introduces you to some basic
models that economists use to make sense of what they observe around
them. We will also explore how economists analyze the impact of different
policies within the context of these models and determine whether the
policy will have the intended – or an unintended – outcome. Foremost, the
goal of the course is to help you think like an economist in ways that will
help you make better decisions.
Learning Outcomes of the Course:
o Develop the ability to explain core economic terms, concepts, and theories.
o Demonstrate the ability to employ the “economic way of thinking.” o Demonstrate awareness of global, historical, and institutional
forces.
o Apply economic theories and concepts to contemporary social issues, as well as formulation and analysis of policy.
o Recognize the role of ethical values in economic decisions. o Apply both oral and written communication skills within the
discipline.
o Demonstrate quantitative reasoning skills.

Course Description
This course Statistics is the branch of mathematics that transforms data into useful
information for decision makers. These transformations often require complex
calculations that are practical only if done by computer, so using statistics usually
means also using computers. This is especially true when dealing with the large
volumes of data that a typical business collects. Attempting to do statistics, using
manual calculations for such data would be too time-consuming to benefit a
business.
In STAT 1101 you learn a set of methods and the conditions under which it is
appropriate for you to use those methods. And because so many statistical methods
are practical only when you use computers, learning statistics means learning more
about using computer programs that perform statistical analyses.
Learning Outcomes of the Course:
After completing the course, students should be able to:
* Present and describe business data and information properly
* Draw conclusions about large populations, using information collected from
samples
* Make reliable forecasts about a business activity
* Improve business processes

Learning outcomes of the course unit
Natural Language Processing (NLP) is the engineering art and science
of how to teach computers to understand human language. NLP is a type
of artificial intelligence technology, and it's now ubiquitous -- NLP lets
us talk to our phones, use the web to answer questions, map out
discussions in books and social media, and even translate between human
languages. Since language is rich, ambiguous, and very difficult for
computers to understand, these systems can sometimes seem like magic -
but these are engineering problems we can tackle with data, math, and
insights from linguistics.
This course will introduce NLP methods and applications including
probabilistic language models, machine translation, and parsing
algorithms for syntax and the deeper meaning of text. During the course,
students will:
(1) learn and derive mathematical models and algorithms for NLP;
(2) become familiar with key facts about human language that motivate
them, and help practitioners know what problems are possible to solve;
and
(3) complete a series of hands-on projects to implement, experiment with,
and improve NLP models, gaining practical skills for natural language
systems engineering.

Course Description
This course provides a systematic and thorough introduction to all aspects
of project management and organization. Projects are an increasingly
important aspect of modern business, so we begin with the relation
between projects and the strategic goals of the organization. We move on
to discuss the technical, cultural, and interpersonal skills necessary too
successfully manage projects from start to finish. The course emphasizes
that project management is a professional discipline with its own tools,
body of knowledge and skills. Concepts are reinforced by case studies
covering a wide variety of project types and industries.
The course covers both the managerial and technical skills required to
plan projects, acquire the necessary resources, and lead project teams to
successful completion. Topics include the strategic role of projects in
contemporary organizations; dealing with stakeholders, such as
customers, vendors, and subcontractors; organizational cultures; and the
technical management tools (scope, WBS, network diagrams, estimating
schedules and costs, risks, and earned value).
Learning Objectives of the Course
After the course the student should:
Have a broad knowledge about, and be able to explain, discuss and analyse concepts of organization theory including organizational
culture, organization structure, organization environment strategy
and organization processes;
Have a broad knowledge about, and be able to explain, discuss and use general models, methods and theories about the organization
and management of diferent kinds of projects
