 本课程为思想政治理论课。课程以“历史与理论相结合、思想与现实相结合、线上与线下相结合、高雅与通俗相结合”为特色，讲授社会主义初级阶段理论和基本路线、社会主义本质理论、社会主义改革开放理论、建设中国特色社会主义的总布局、根本目的、依靠力量、领导核心等专题，引导学生正确把握中国特色社会主义理论体系的基本内容和精神实质，引导学生深刻认识改革开放的必要性、可能性和艰巨性，引导学生牢固树立中国特色社会主义的道路自信、理论自信、制度自信和文化自信。

本课程实施“转客为主”教学模式，即通过设置多重教学环节引导学生由“教学对象”向“教学主体”转化，由“被动性学习”向“主动性学习”转化，由“以听为主”向“听说读写行并重”转化。课程鼓励和引导学生实现“六化”： 一是“化耳为口”，即不仅要听，而且要说；二是“化目为手”，即不仅要读，而且要写；三是“化知为行”，即不仅要求知，而且要践行；四是“化外为内”，即将外在的知识转化为内在的素养；五是“化隐为显”，即将隐性的素质转化为显性的成果；六是“化人为己”，即将他人的素养转化为学生自我的素养。    

How can we eradicate malaria? Explore the scientific and technological underpinnings of malaria, as well as the historical, political, social, and economic contexts in which control, elimination, and eradication efforts unfold.

Through foundational lectures and supplemental interviews, this course provides participants with a toolbox of knowledge and skills. Learners will be guided through the analysis of real-world data and its effective use in problem-solving. Analytical approaches focus on how to develop and implement evidence-based intervention strategies to contribute to national and local malaria eradication efforts.

The target audience for the course includes those with an interest in gaining the technical expertise and leadership skills needed to work in global health and malaria programs around the world.

The self-paced nature of the course will allow learners to access it at their convenience.

This economics course provides an introduction to the field of cybersecurity through the lens of economic principles. Delivered by four leading research teams, it will provide you with the economic concepts, measurement approaches and data analytics to make better security and IT decisions, as well as understand the forces that shape the security decisions of other actors in the ecosystem of information goods and services.

Systems often fail because the organizations that defend them do not bear the full costs of failure. In order to solve the problems of growing vulnerability to computer hackers and increasing crime, solutions must coherently allocate responsibilities and liabilities so that the parties in a position to fix problems have an incentive to do so. This requires a technical comprehension of security threats combined with an economic perspective to uncover the strategies employed by cyber hackers, attackers and defenders.

The course covers five main areas:

1. Introduction to key concepts in security economics. Here, we provide an overview of how information security is shaped by economic mechanisms, such as misaligned incentives, information asymmetry, and externalities.
2. Measuring cybersecurity. We introduce state of the art security and IT metrics and conceptualize the characteristics of a security metric, its challenges and advantages.
3. Economics of information security investment. We discuss and apply different economic models that help determine the costs and benefits of security investments in network security.
4. Security market failures. We discuss market failures that may lead to cybersecurity investment levels that are insufficient from society’s perspective and other forms of unsafe behaviour in cyber space.
5. Behavioural economics for information security, policy and regulation. We discuss available economic tools to better align the incentives for cybersecurity, including better security metrics, cyber insurance/risk transfer, information sharing, and liability assignment.

After finishing this course, you will be able to apply economic analysis and data analytics to cybersecurity. You will understand the role played by incentives on the adoption and effectiveness of security mechanisms, and on the design of technical, market-based, and regulatory solutions to different security threats.

This course is part of the Microsoft Professional Program Certificate in Front-End Web Development. 

Have you heard about Node.js, the Node Package Manager or Bower? Perhaps you’ve wanted to dive into some open source tooling for your Web development projects.

This computer science course focuses on some of the current open source tools and technologies available today for Web developers. In the five modules of this course, you will learn how to use Node.js and the NPM along with other tools like Chalk, Angular, Bootstrap and Font Awesome.

Topics covered include:

• Yeoman and its dependencies in the context of creating an Angular application;
• Testing code with a focus on jsLint and unit testing with Karma;
• Node.js and the NPM and how to use Minify and Sass;
• Configuration and touring tools such as Karma unit tests, Angular providers and routing.

Microfabrication and nanofabrication are the basis of manufacturing for nearly all modern miniaturized systems that are ubiquitously used in our daily life. Examples include; computer chips and integrated sensors for monitoring our environment, cars, mobile phones, medical devices and more.

Micro- and nanofabrication can be taught to students and professionals by textbooks and ex-cathedra lectures, but the real learning comes from seeing the manufacturing steps as they happen.

In this engineering course, we will go a step beyond classroom teaching to not only explain the basics of each fabrication step but also show you how it’s done through video sequences and zooming into the equipment.
