Build a C# .NET Rainfall Measurement System
By the end of this course, learners will be able to design a database-driven desktop application, create a structured Windows Forms user interface, implement event-driven logic, validate user input, and test a complete Rainfall Measurement System using C# and .NET. This hands-on course guides learners through the end-to-end development of a real-world Rainfall Measurement System, making it ideal for those who want to move beyond theory and build practical application development skills. Learners begin by understanding the project requirements, designing a robust database, and creating an intuitive user interface. They then progress to implementing core application logic, handling events, validating rainfall data, and managing errors to ensure reliable system behavior. What makes this course unique is its project-centric approach: instead of isolated concepts, learners work on a continuous, realistic system that mirrors industry-style desktop application development. Each stage of the project builds logically on the previous one, reinforcing best practices in planning, design, coding, and testing. This course is especially beneficial for students, beginners, and working professionals who want to strengthen their practical C# .NET skills, gain confidence in building complete applications, and add a meaningful project to their development portfolio.

Global Strategy I: How The Global Economy Works
Starting in the late 1990s, “globalization” became a buzzword to describe the apparent integration of markets in the world economy. Many authors and pundits claimed that the world was converging towards a market-friendly democratic place, while gurus and consulting firms were rapidly producing formulae and advice on how to make profits out of the global economy. Decades later, new realities show that globalization does not necessarily mean political, cultural, and economic convergence and that, in fact, forces against it are strong. This course seeks to help you understand the forces of globalization and how cross-cultural management and the relationship of a multinational organization to various host countries is becoming more and more critical in today’s global economy. This course begins with the discussion of these issues and global relationships and delves into a deeper understanding of business strategy in today’s global business marketplace. You will be able to: • Understand how we got to the present moment of globalization and why it matters • Understand the complexities of the current globalization, recognizing not all countries are the same • Evaluate the effects of international trade regulations on international business • Evaluate when and why companies operate as multinationals This course is part of Gies College of Business’ suite of online programs, including the iMBA and iMSM.

EKP1: Modernity and the Emergence of Korean Philosophy
In the “Exploration to Korean Philosophy” series, we will delve deeper into the subject matter than what was previously addressed in the courses “Introduction to Korean Philosophy and Culture (IKPC)” and “In Search for the Origins of Korean Philosophy (SOKP)." In EKP1, titled "Modernity and the Emergence of 'Korean' Philosophy," we explore how the Korean intellectual tradition encountered a pivotal moment of reinterpretation as it embraced the discipline of "philosophy," often seen as the apex of modern European intellectual history. Looking at examples of Concept Clusters, we can see that Korean philosophy is deeply rooted in the Korean language and has formed a philosophical perspective that is different not only from the West but also from neighboring countries such as China and Japan. In this course, we also dealt with the early Korean Neo-Confucianism's gaze on “cheon”, referring to “heaven” as an example that clearly demonstrates the characteristics of Korean philosophy before it was given the name “philosophy.” Even before and after the advent of Neo-Confucianism, the search for ultimate existence – expressed in various terms – was constantly pursued. The gaze on “heaven” is an important feature of Korean philosophy.

Ongoing U.S. Settler Colonialism & Native Peoples Teach-Out
Increasingly, terms such as “colonialism,” “decolonization,” and “social structures,” appear in media, conversations, and educational spaces, often without nuanced explanations of these concepts and how they relate to current U.S. society and the individuals in it. To provide a space to think, learn, and feel about these concepts as realities connected to everyone, this course offers many entry points to deepen understandings about the U.S. as a current settler colonial nation, to engage with contemporary Indigenous Peoples/Native Nations, and to recognize how participants’ own lives, interests, and professional domains intersect with settler colonialism. This course highlights perspectives from Indigenous Peoples/Native Nations while focusing on examples of ongoing settler colonialism as it shows up in education, law, food systems, media, land, gender, race/ethnicity, and health/medicine, among others. Additionally, this course offers a framework consisting of four cornerstones that reveal how ongoing settler colonialism in the United States: 1) attempts to eliminate Indigenous Peoples, 2) imposes ideas of property, 3) produces anti-relationality, and 4) naturalizes the assumption of limited options. Through the framework + Native perspectives and knowledge, participants will better understand ongoing settler colonialism while (re)imagining anti-colonial processes in the U.S. as a way to co-create thriving futures for everyone. This Teach-Out does not issue certificates of completion.
