Free Will and Neuroscience
In this course, we will discuss free will from a neuroscientific perspective. Module one of the course will explore two neuroscientific arguments against free will from Libet and Wegner and evaluate neuroscientists’ arguments against free will. You will also examine where these experiments do not succeed in debunking free will. In module two, the anatomy and physiology of neurons will be described. You will also learn how they communicate. You will have an understanding about neural anatomy and physiology to consciousness, attention, and free will. In the final and the third module of the course, you will explore an example of the top-down influence on bottom-up processing called volitional attention. You will see how neural circuits responsible for both volitional and non-volitional thought and action interact with each other. Next, you will learn how a neural circuit can change its physical structure and function, and how these changes might impact human behavior.

Digital tools, Automation, & AI for Project Managers
e.g. This is primarily aimed at first- and second-year undergraduates interested in engineering or science, along with high school students and professionals with an interest in programming.Digital tools can either make project work smoother—or multiply chaos. In this course, you’ll learn how to design clean, async-first workflows that help teams move faster with fewer meetings, clearer ownership, and better visibility. You’ll start by building strong documentation habits: establishing a single source of truth, using simple templates, and organizing a lightweight knowledge base that stays searchable and up to date. Next, you’ll design practical “flow in tools” systems: structured intake and triage, decision logs that prevent rework, and embedded ownership practices (like RACI) inside the tools your team already uses. You’ll then learn how to apply automation safely—using triggers and actions to reduce manual coordination—plus how to build dashboards that support the right decisions for teams, PMs, and stakeholders. Finally, you’ll apply AI in realistic PM work: generating first-draft plans and work breakdowns, drafting clearer status updates and stakeholder communication, and scanning project artifacts for risks and improvement opportunities—with guardrails for privacy and human oversight. You’ll leave with reusable templates, prompt patterns, and governance rules you can apply immediately.
