Empathy for Self and Others
Empathy is something people must use every day. Empathy isn't limited to understanding other people; it's also about understanding yourself. An important key to understanding the emotions of others is understanding how you feel those emotions. Emotional intelligence and empathy aren't innate things that are fixed; they're skills that can be learned, and anyone has the potential to excel at them. This course will help you unlock that potential. With the expertise of Dr. Shari Collins from the ASU School of Humanities, the Empathy for Self and Others course will put the tools, knowledge and strategies of empathy directly into your hands. You’ll learn the fundamentals and get acquainted with your empathy toolkit. Then, you’ll directly apply them in hands-on scenarios. A common misconception about empathy is that you have to have directly experienced the same thing as another person to empathize with them. Empathy is finding common ground and understanding others — it’s no more complex than that. It feels more important than ever to be able to understand others. Jump-start your empathy journey today!

Systèmes d’Information Géographique - Partie 2
Ce cours constitue la seconde partie d'un enseignement consacré aux bases théoriques et pratiques des systèmes d’information géographique. - Il propose une introduction aux systèmes d’information géographique qui ne requiert pas de connaissances préalables en informatique. - Il donne la possibilité d’acquérir rapidement les notions de base qui vous permettent de créer des bases de données spatiales et de fabriquer des cartes géographiques. - Il s’agit d’un cours pratique qui repose sur l’utilisation de logiciels libres, notamment QGIS. Lors de la première partie du cours, vous avez exploré les principes de base de la numérisation du territoire et du stockage des géodonnées. Vous avez notamment appris à : - Caractériser des objets et des phénomènes spatiaux (modélisation du territoire) du point de vue de leur positionnement dans l’espace (systèmes de coordonnées et projections, relations spatiales) et en fonction de leur nature intrinsèque (mode objet ou vecteur vs. mode image ou raster); - Utiliser diverses méthodes d’acquisition de données (mesure directe, géoréférencement d’images, digitalisation, source de données existantes, etc.); - Utiliser divers modes de stockage des géodonnées (fichiers simples et bases de données relationnelles); - Utiliser des outils de modélisation des données pour décrire et implémenter une base de données; - Créer des requêtes dans un langage d’interrogation et de manipulation des données. La seconde partie du cours porte sur les méthodes d'analyse spatiale et les techniques de représentation de l'information géoréférencée.

《新教伦理与资本主义精神》导读
德国思想巨擎马克斯·韦伯在20世纪初，以其深邃的洞察力发现了欧洲文明进程中宗教信仰对近代资本主义诞生做出的特殊贡献，从而提出了不同于马克思“经济基础决定上层建筑”的历史发展观，并由此引发了一系列引人深思的文化、社会和宗教学问题。本课程将以对马克斯·韦伯的《新教伦理与资本主义精神》的深度阅读为基础，让学生对韦伯的宗教社会学研究有初步的了解，进而深入思考文化与社会互动的基本关系，提升学生的人文素养和培养独立思维精神。 本课程在系统介绍韦伯《新教伦理与资本主义精神》背景的基础上，让学生直接、深入阅读文本本身，同时补充一些欧洲文化史的相关内容（文艺复兴、新教改革、启蒙运动、资本主义兴起），并穿插一些韦伯社会研究方法论的基本观念（例如理想型、价值中立、选择亲缘性等），使得学生深入思考文化和社会之间的双向、互动的关系。此外，本课程还将着重培养学生扩展阅读（韦伯的其他著作，如《儒教与道教》、《经济与社会》等）和独立思考的能力。如有可能，本课程还将引导大家来反思个人的生活选择，例如对时间、金钱和职业的态度。
