Course Description:
Yonsei, Keio and Fudan universities together offer a couple of distance learning (DL) courses this fall semester. This one, “Globalization and Regional Transformation,” is one of the two DL learning courses shared by the three universities. Another one offered for the same semester is “Globalization and Regional Governance.” In this course, seven DL classes will be offered in English; two classes by each participating universities and one class by Yonsei-Keio-Fudan student joint presentation (DL classes are marked with asterisk * on the date).
The rest of classes will be delivered in their own language for their own students by their own professors, i.e., Lew at Yonsei, Watanabe at Keio, and Chen at Fudan. In the DL classes, students can speak either English or their native language. If they speak native language, translation will be provided. A maximum of 15 students are expected to enroll for theses courses at each university. Enrolled students are scheduled to have an exchange visit under the name of ‘Pilgrim Workshop’ on November 5. Students’ expenses for the visit will be partially supported by the University Authorities.
Composition of Lecture:
Main lecture: 40 min.
Discussant from faculty at the other two universities: 5 min. each
Discussant from designated students at three universities: 5 min. each
Student Q&A: 25 min.
Grading and Assignment
Participating students are expected to work together with Keio and Fudan students on any subject they are interested, but have to make an agreement in advance so that the three coordinating professors can check and approve what they are doing. In particular, we strongly encourage comparative work on three East Asian countries. Grades will be based on the following items: class participation (30%), website participation (30%), & joint-project output with presentation (40%). English website exclusively for the class is prepared by Yonsei Cyber Education Center (YSCEC) at . All the reading materials needed for Professor Lew’s schedules are available at
