Course Outline
一、 科目概要（Course Description）
The course is concerned with ways of seeing cultures of cities. It is intended to show students that cities’ cultures can be approached, felt, conceived, interpreted and analyzed from transdisciplinary approaches, such as sociology, cultural geography, urban studies, human geography and anthropology. Instead of abstract theories, the course will be expressed through contemporary discourse to explain the relations between cities and cultures. Moreover, case studies will be introduced to examine cultures of cities between the Taiwan and overseas.
二、 教學目標（Course Objectives）
The course is concerned with the global reach of the stories I tell about cities. Follow the introduction of City Worlds (Massey, Allen and Pile, 1999, p. 1-2), I seek to provide a distinctive angle for imaging cities.

40%
As shown in the table above, this course covers three aspects for assessments. In general, you are asked to actively participate in the class, contribute to your team’s oral presentation, and prepare for writing the essay.
First, by participation and readings I mean that you need to show good attendance in the first place. You will suffer unless you can inform me beforehand in an office hour in terms of why you are unable to attend the section. Since I look forward to your active involvement in the class, you can provide with a brief account of your daily observation and experiences. By readings I will extract points from key readings and put on the blog before each section. Browsing my teaching notes on the blog on a daily basis, your readings will ultimately help you to prepare for lecture participation, the presentation, and final-term essay. The more you read the more choices you can have to talk in the class and presentation, and to complete your essay.
Second, the team’s presentation should be done in English. You will be asked to explore an aspect related to the week’s topic. My lecture time will start with an outline on the basis of last section’s readings (see the handouts given in the first week). Likewise, the lecture will be followed by your team’s presentation with a topic based on key readings in the last section. To begin with, each member of the team needs to show a clear role in the presentation. Thus, before the section, your team has to email me a written note (one side A4 max.) related to the following points: (1) the way in which you choose the topic, (2) the division of labor (what you did, how long you spent there, and how you worked collaboratively with partners) and (3) case study or research materials (PowerPoint files, websites or other media) you want to use for presentation. More importantly, you need to tell me (4) one or two key questions that the team wants to answer. Finally, (5) each person should present for 10 minutes.
Third, your final-term essay has to be 2000 words in length. It needs to be completed and handed in on time (June 24). For writing the draft, you are required to discuss with me in choosing your essay title (before May 6, via talk). I would suggest you to think about your area of interest according to the lived experiences and local cases. In this way, you can firstly specify your essay topic and focus. Moreover, you can choose more specific topics by readings. Just try to review key issues, concepts and questions that I have foreground during the course. The best essay should demonstrate different viewpoints by referring to reading or observation beyond the course. However, it does not mean you can write anything as I emphasize that you need to narrow down general areas of interests from the outset. Therefore, after your selecting the essay topic, I strongly advise you to write a first rough draft at least one week before the deadline (approximately June 17). This will enable you to discuss with other students and me. Otherwise you might suffer from submitting a poor or unfinished essay without time to revise it.
Basically, your essay is written in English. You need to show how you engage with and organize the course topics, case study and presentation. You can earn higher grades according to following criteria. (1) Like a learning diary, the essay includes your completing notes during the lecture on a weekly basis. This way helps you to mobilize some central concepts, theories and ideas from the course. Besides, (2) you can comment on key readings and presentations throughout the course. I want to see your ability to link the essay topic across different issues, concepts and questions the course have introduced so far. That demonstrates whether you appropriately associate your area of interest with the issue you take up and the way you engage with it. (3) You should pose some interesting and critical questions about key issues and concepts. I expect that you can develop a line of argument. Once you can ask good questions, you will have an idea of the structure of your essay. To develop a clear argument, (4) there is a need to provide evidence to back up your argument. For example, your essay will not be given higher grades until you relate case study or illustrations to theoretical concepts or questions. Although I like original ideas, I will punish those who plagiarize other people’s ideas and referencing points without indicating to which you make reference. Thus, (5) please try to list a bibliography or appendices on the basis of formal academic regulation, e.g., APA format, see http://web.ed.ntnu.edu.tw/~minfei/apastyle.htm.
