中國古代歷史與人物：秦始皇（Qin Shi Huang)
在近代以前，歷史學是培養各種領袖與人才的必備教育，因為它能夠使人對過去「稽其興壞成敗之理」（《史記‧太史公自序》）。「中國古代歷史與人物」這門課程希望回到歷史學的原點，藉由具體的事例，來探索「讀歷史到底有什麼用？」。 從東周到秦漢是中國歷史上承先啟後的鉅變時期，更是一個英雄輩出、波瀾壯闊的大時代。而秦始皇正是主導這個時代，且令後世爭議不絕的歷史關鍵人物之一。本課程將利用現代歷史學的各種取徑，以原典史料為中心，結合考古成果、古代文物等，對歷史人物進行多角度的剖析，探索秦始皇及其統治集團成功和失敗的祕密究竟何在，並希望使同學藉此明瞭歷史學的功用與價值。

Social Norms, Social Change I
This is a course on social norms, the rules that glue societies together. It teaches how to diagnose social norms, and how to distinguish them from other social constructs, like customs or conventions. These distinctions are crucial for effective policy interventions aimed to create new, beneficial norms or eliminate harmful ones. The course teaches how to measure social norms and the expectations that support them, and how to decide whether they cause specific behaviors. The course is a joint Penn-UNICEF project, and it includes many examples of norms that sustain behaviors like child marriage, gender violence and sanitation practices. This is Part 1 of the Social Norms, Social Change series. In these lectures, I introduce all the basic concepts and definitions, such as social expectations and conditional preferences, that help us distinguish between different types of social practices like customs, descriptive norms and social norms. Expectations and preferences can be measured, and these lectures explain how to measure them. Measurement is crucial to understanding the nature of the practice you are facing, as well as whether an intervention was or was not successful, and why. In Part 2, we will put into practice all we have learned in Part 1. New!

Major Engineering Project Performance
Manage large projects by identifying their key characteristics, examining the key factors and risks that affect their performance and exploring methods to counter their impact on the successful delivery of projects. Looking into examples of best practice, you'll explore the relationship between projects, programmes and portfolios. You'll also discover the roles performed by the project manager, examine the difficulties associated with quantifying transaction costs in major project management and consider how different management approaches impact on these costs. Optimism bias and strategic misinterpretation regularly cause delays to major engineering projects. Using stimulating case studies, you'll evaluate the measures of success and compare and contrast 'project success' versus 'project management success'. In the final week of the course, you'll research and present a contemporary example of a major engineering project from your own country. This course explores concepts analysed in the University’s Online MSc in Engineering Management. If you are interested to develop your skills further, take a look at our online degree.

Calidad en la atención clínica
La calidad en la atención clínica surge ante la necesidad de reducir y prevenir los eventos adversos en la atención del paciente. Existen diferentes mecanismos para una adecuada planeación de los procesos de intervención y tratamiento los cuales posibilitan las oportunidades de mejora e innovación en los contextos clínicos de los diferentes niveles de atención. Aunque tradicionalmente los servicios de salud no incluían los temas de satisfacción al cliente como parte de los indicadores, hoy en día el paciente debe convertirse en el centro de la atención y ser escuchado sobre las áreas de oportunidad de los procesos de intervención. Es así como la atención interprofesional se vuelve relevante para ampliar el diálogo entre los miembros del equipo de salud y del paciente para lograr objetivos en común en donde todas las partes participen en la toma de decisiones, lo cual debe incluirse como parte de los objetivos educativos profesionales y a lo largo de la vida. Los objetivos del curso 2 son los siguientes: • Proporcionar herramientas de calidad para la mejora continua del proceso de atención centrado en el paciente. • Reconocer la importancia de la atención interprofesional para la democratización de las voces que participan en el proceso clínico, incluyendo al paciente mismo. • Establecer planes educativos para la formación interprofesional y la atención centrada en el paciente a lo largo de la vida.
