評價教學內容	#1  内容圍繞影響房價的因素，並以香港及其他城市為例子，分析政府政策如何影響房價。儘管與ECON關係不大，但若有DSE ECON的基礎會較易理解内容；paper分析某一城市的政府政策如何影響當地房價；present同樣主題，但只有5分鐘
評價教員教學	#1  熱心教學，儘管會問同學問題，但唔會揀人答；課堂非常chill，想聽書又得，想做自己野都得，唔影響paper同present；惟教授係内地人，儘管嘗試以廣東話授課，但有頗嚴重的歪音，若不留心未必可以聼得明
CUSIS科目資料	Description： When money is fiat, land is scarce, housing becomes a good hedge of inflation. However, when housing is both an investment capital as well as a necessity, the city is split into an owner-renter dichotomy, with the former preferring an increase of housing prices but just the opposite for the latter. When the pendulum of housing price swings to one side, housing capital can result in negative equity, asset bubble, or even financial crisis. Swinging to the other end, housing can become unaffordable, even if public housing or subsidy can be provided. Decent living environment and sustainable community are the concerns of cities. This introduction course explores the reasons of the housing price fluctuations and the implications of the dichotomy on the city lives.   Learning Outcome： l   Explain the relationships between money, land and housing; l   Understand factors determining land and housing prices; l   Identify the effects of housing price fluctuations on financial stability and wealth inequality; l   Appreciate the effect of monetary and land policies on housing affordability; l   Draw implications from the owner-renter dichotomy on the housing policy; and l   Analyse the sustainability issues of public housing and cooperative housing systems.

評價教學內容	#1  基本圍繞著SDGs嘅topic去討論，不過上堂嘅focus會係人道主義/氣候變化嘅議題，如果你自問有國際視野，都對呢啲有興趣嘅話係值得讀嘅。 Assessment scheme: 一份paper，自訂題目去做倡議嘅工作 10 mins presentation, visual aids hea整都得，最緊要你知道自己講咩因為要Q&A Online KEEP quizzes Participation
評價教員教學	#1  因為本身係醫生，可能有時講嘢會比較多夾雜英文/同健康有關嘅議題，整體上係chill的，如果你真係對呢啲topic有興趣嘅話，佢係真係可以啟發到你。

After the pandemic we faced, we realized that a health crisis will have implications beyond the health sector and development must balance social, economic and environmental sustainability. It is therefore important for us, as global citizens, to recognize the issues related and understand how we can take part in this. Traditionally, health indicators have been an important aspect of development indices and health is a foundation of societies. Therefore, our course aims to discuss SDGs through the lens of health, by providing an overview on how the current global challenges on sustainable development impacts the population health and encourage students to look for solutions.

Development of modern societies and the interaction between humans and environment will be discussed, and through the advocacy framework we will discuss the current challenges related which draw immense global attention, and allow students to exchange interdisciplinary ideas, identify the challenges we are facing and propose advocacy campaign in hope to identify and deliver solutions locally and internationally.   Learning Outcome： - To gain knowledge on the direct and indirect health consequences of the selected SDG global challenges (SDG #2, #3, #5, #6, #8, #11, #13, #16) - To analyze the wider socioeconomic dimensions of these challenges (SDG #2, #3, #5, #6, #8, #11, #13, #16) - To synthesize strategies and solutions in solving these challenges for sustainable development through multi-disciplinary discussion and advocacy plans (SDG #3, #8, #13, #16) - To appreciate the importance of good health in sustainable development and its positive impacts on economic growth and cultural development

CUSIS科目資料	Description： This course is designed to introduce students to contemporary Korean popular culture, and more specifically the 21st century South Korean cultural phenomenon called Hallyu (Korean wave) – its promises and limitations as well as its popularity and backlash against it. By taking an interdisciplinary approach to the topic, we will study food, film, television, music, fashion and sports and ask how they participate in the transnational production, distribution and circulation of culture, identity, modernity, tradition, ideology and politics both regionally and globally. One of the major questions this course will explore is the curious ways in which these popular media continuously re-stage and re-define Korea’s historical past in order to comment on its present. This course also targets to equip students with analytical tools to critically think about popular culture as well as understand theories of cultural globalization.   Learning Outcome： To identify the historical developments and current content trends of the Korean wave.  To analyze the causes and outcomes of the Korean wave.  To recognize the importance of critical thinking skills for analyzing the transnational media content and effects in a global, cultural context.
