Do you intend to offer any portion of this course online?

No

This course covers the analysis of labor markets and differences in wage rates and incomes. The course coversvarious topics, such as returns to education and training, labor unions, unemployment, anti-poverty programs, and

other government policies influencing the labor market. This course represents the capstone version of Labor Economics (ECON 640)by exploring a package of economic studies in the primary literature. Not open to students with credit in ECON 640.

ECON 520; ECON 526; MATH 116 or MATH 126; and MATH 526.

Lecture (Regularly scheduled academic course) (LEC)

Are you proposing that the course count towards the CLAS BA degree specific requirements?

Will this course be required for a degree, major, minor, certificate, or concentration?

The economics department currently offers only two capstone courses: Research in Economics (Econ 496) and Senior ResearchHonors (Econ 697). Both of these courses are taught on an ad hoc basis for individual students. The department offers no capstone course

that is taught on a regular basis as a standard course, i.e., multiple students meeting at a scheduled time.

Selected Goal(s)

Do all instructors of this course agree to include content that enables students to meetKU Core learning outcome(s)?

Yes

Do all instructors of this course agree to develop and save direct evidence thatstudents have met the learning outcomes(s)?

Yes

Provide an abstract (1000 characters maximum) that summarizes how this coursemeets the learning outcome.

The goal of this course is to enable students to read, understand, and summarizeapplied microeconomics scholarly literature at the level of a well-informed journalist.This literature is heavily covered in the press (e.g., Washington Post, New York Times)by individuals without graduate training. To operate at this level, students must identifyand assess basic elements of a research study: questions being studied, hypotheses,motivation (why should I care?), variation (what policy changed?), counterfactual (forwhat group did it not change?), data, results (was the hypothesis true and if so whatwas the magnitude?), and implications (how do these results influence future policydecisions?). Each student will acquire these skills by reading 12 scholarly researchstudies, which the instructor presents in class, and then presenting a study of his/herown choosing to the entire class. With approximately 40 students in the class, thecourse exposes students to over 50 scholarly studies.

Selected Learning Outcome(s):

Goal 6

Is this course or course sequence at the required junior or senior level?Yes

Explain how students will analyze and combine information from different areas and approach and explain existing questions andproblems from new perspectives, pose new questions or generate new ideas. (Please limit responses to 1000 characters.)

Students will revisit and synthesize core elements studied in their economics degree, utilizing information from their economicscoursework, including Intermediate Microeconomics (Econ 520) and Introduction to Econometrics (Econ 526). Without graduatetraining, students would struggle to reproduce or generate their own scholarly research. However, students in this sized class are ableto understand basic identification strategies, grasp the results of research studies, and present these studies’ implications in a wayunderstandable to the average student. These skills will serve students well in a variety of careers, including business, law, medicine,and journalism, as well as enable students to be well-informed citizens. Additionally, this appreciation for scholarly research may inspirethem to pursue an undergraduate research project within the department’s research courses (Econ 496, Econ 697) or graduate studyso that they can produce their own publishable scholarship.

If your course or course sequence expects students to develop a creative product, please detail the nature of this product and how itwill require students to think, react, and work in imaginative ways that produce innovative expressions and original perspectives.(Please limit responses to 1000 characters.)

N/A

Indicate the weight of the evidence in the overall grade of your course or educational experience that will evaluate students forintegrative or creative thinking and how you will ensure that your syllabus reflects these assignment expectations. (Please limitresponses to 1000 characters with countdown.)

The presentation itself will count for 10 % of the student’s final grade. Additionally, the two midterms (each worth 20 %) and the finalexam (worth 25 %) will contain questions regarding the 12 research studies that all of the students read as part of their homework andthe instructor presents in lecture. The syllabus makes these percentages explicitly clear. It also indicates the importance of the 12research studies assigned as part of the homework. Finally, the syllabus describes the presentation in detail, sets deadlines for signingup for a slot and choosing a study, identifies the consequences for missing these deadlines, and gives a non-exhaustive list of samplestudies from which to choose.

This course examines aspects of Iranian society through literature and film. Students will analyze selectedIranian texts in their historical, social, and political contexts to examine and gain a comprehensive understanding of

the complex and pressing issues facing the modern Iranian society. The course will utilize nationalist, Marxist, feminist, and Islamistparadigms to provide a theoretical framework for discussions and to better understand the crosscurrent of ideas in contemporary Iran.No knowledge of Persian language required because all the texts will be available in English translation and subtitles.

This course examines aspects of Iranian society through literature and film. It engagesin discursive analyses of the selected texts in their historical and sociopolitical contextsto examine and gain a comprehensive understanding of the complex and pressingissues facing the modern Iranian society. On completion, students will develop skills toengage in analytical readings of literary products and films and be able to: appreciateand describe major events, figures, and developments in the history of Persianliterature and Iranian cinema; show understanding of the ongoing debate overtraditional vs. modern; describe the role of religion and modern nationalism in shapingthe Iranian society; evaluate major challenges faced by Iranian women and ethnic andreligious minorities; engage in critical appraisal of texts and lay bare their ideologicalunderpinnings; understand and describe major cultural practices and religiousconcepts. All the course materials will be available in English.

Selected Learning Outcome(s):

Goal 4, Learning Outcome 2

State what assignments, readings, class discussions, and lectures will devote a majority of your course or educational experience toraising student awareness of, engagement with, and analysis of various elements of other-cultural understanding of communitiesoutside the United States. (Please limit responses to 1000 characters.)

All assignments, readings, class discussions, and lectures of the course are geared toward developing a meaningful understandingof Iranian culture and society.

Explain how your course or educational experience will develop the ability of students to discuss, debate, and analyze non-UScultures in relation to the students own value assumptions. (Please limit responses to 1000 characters.)

The learning activities and selected course materials for this course are aimed at enhancing students’ knowledge of different aspectsof Iran including the roots and results of the country’s interactions with the European countries and the US—a topic that directlychallenges the students to consider different perspectives in relation to their own value assumptions. The course is structured such thatstudents need to engage with these materials in multiple ways; they are required to formulate questions and participate in discussions,make presentations, take tests and write a paper on a topic approved by me. Such multifarious activities provide students ampleopportunities to develop their abilities to discuss, debate, and analyze a non-US culture, to cultivate a better understanding of Persianculture and society, and to re-evaluate their own preconceived notions about Iran—a country that happens to be one of the most closedsocieties in the world.

Detail how your course or educational experience will sensitize students to various cultural beliefs, behaviors, and practices throughother-cultural readings and academic research on cultural competency so that students may be better prepared to negotiate cross-cultural situations. (Please limit responses to 1000 characters.)

Persian literature and films stand out as cultural products to provide students a window into Iranian religious beliefs, social behaviors,and cultural practices. By delving deep into Iranian society through two of the most powerful cultural products capable of creatingempathy, students increase their familiarity with the country, enhance their global cultural competence, and prepare themselves tonegotiate cross-cultural situations.

State what assignments, readings, class discussion, and lectures will be used to evaluate students'' work that documents andmeasures their grasp of global cultures and value systems through reflective written or oral analysis. (Please limit responses to 1000characters.)

The documentation of students’ progress is structured around participation in discussions, quizzes, a paper proposal, a final paper, apresentation and tests. An integral part of the course is class participation in which students are required to raise and answer questions,offer comments, and respond to other students’ remarks. Frequent quizzes to test students’ knowledge of the basic concepts and factsand two tests to measure their broader knowledge of the topics are administered during the semester. By writing a paper, students
