This course aims to provide the following
specific and place-based learning outcomes: gain a broad
comprehension of the fundamentals of Chinese culture, art, and food,
particularly as it relates to ecological civilization and human
sustenance and material wealth; understand the fundamentals of
ecology and how these determine current distribution and abundance
of plants and animals; understand current human impacts on native
biodiversity in China, across a variety of ecosystems; and identify
conservation strategies for native biodiversity in China generally,
and in the Zhuhai region specifically.
Pre-requisite(s):
BIOL2023 CONSERVATION ECOLOGY, and
ENV2003 INTRODUCTION TO ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE
Course Description:
This course is designed to teach the biology of
nature conservation through a focus on species and habitats of
concern together with some elements on conservation management.
Students will learn about the common practices of conservation
science and management, and how our knowledge in conservation
biology influences the development and implementation of policy,
land planning and management. Students will also learn about the
most contemporary conservation problems as well as species and
habitat management practices in the context of a rapidly changing
environment. Finally, student will practice to address the
anthropogenic biodiversity degradation by managing protected areas
and development of conservation plan.

CHEM2023 PRINCIPLES OF CHEMISTRY, or
CHEM2003 GENERAL CHEMISTRY
Course Description:
This course is for the Environmental Science
Programme. This course discusses techniques and instrumentation in
modern chemical analysis relevant to environmental and life sciences.
It provides a suitable analytical chemistry background for students in
environmental and life sciences to pursue other advanced courses,
such as Environmental Analysis and Monitoring. The topics
discussed include (i) errors and statistical treatment of data, (ii)
aqueous equilibria of acids and bases, (iii) titrimetric and gravimetric
analysis, (iv) atomic and molecular spectrophotometric analysis, (v)
mass spectrometry, and (vi) solvent extraction and chromatographic
techniques.
Pre-requisite(s): None
Course Description:
This course provides students with basic
knowledge of computer-oriented problem modelling and solving
methodologies, algorithm analysis, and structured programming by
using Python. Students will learn about the basic concepts of
structured programming and how to develop elegant Python
programs. Specific topics will include structured programming
methodology, data types, control structures, functions, and the
mechanics of running, testing, and debugging. After learning this
course, students will be able to solve problems, explore real-world
programming development challenges, and create small yet practical
python applications.

Course Description:
This course aims to introduce students with the main building blocks of macroeconomics, so as for students to acquire a basic understanding of how a market economy functions, to appreciate the critical macroeconomic issues facing the society, and to understand to a certain degree the going debate on these issues. This is a necessary preparation not only for many careers in private and public sectors but also for responsible citizenship in modern society.
Pre-requisite(s): None
Course Description:
This course aims first to introduce students with the basic principles and the main building blocks of microeconomics. The students should appreciate the relevance of the course materials in real life, and learn to apply them in analysing some simple economic problems commonly encountered by individuals and firms. The major topics covered are: the market forces of demand and supply, and the associated concept of elasticity; the key role of price in the resource allocation; the efficiency of, and some possible problem with, the market mechanism; the various cost measures for firms; the different forms of market competition, and the impact on social welfare; and finally, the basic role of government in the economy.
