Hi all,
A big welcome to the BG20103 Consumer Behaviour Course. I am excited that we could all learn together some imperative in consumer behaviour that will help shape you as a marketing professional in the future.
This course focuses on understanding the major factors underlying consumer behavior. We explore theories and research emanating from marketing, psychology, and sociology, and learn to use these to better understand and predict how consumers will respond to marketing actions.
Hope we will have a great semester learning together.
Best regards,
DR BAMINI KPD BALAKRISHNAN

In this global economy, onshore and offshore banking in the financial sector have become integral aspects of business and portfolio management, transcending the traditional realm of private accounts. Year by year, the world's increasing access to information technology and capital has underscored the importance of exploring and expanding our knowledge of banking information. Therefore, this course not only covers current issues in international offshore banking and finance but also emphasizes the alignment of these practices with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The course introduces the basic concepts of international offshore banking and finance, including its pros and cons, recent trends, and developments in the international finance industry, all within the context of promoting sustainable economic growth. Furthermore, the course delves into the intricacies of financial cycles, encompassing booms, bear markets, recessions, and crises in the international financial sectors. Special attention is given to the integration of financial processes in the global market environment, emphasizing their impact on SDGs. The selected theoretical and methodological approaches in the financial industry will also be explored, with a focus on their alignment with sustainable practices and contributions to SDGs. By incorporating these perspectives, the course aims to foster a comprehensive understanding of international offshore banking and finance within the framework of sustainable development.

This course offers a comprehensive understanding of economics from an Islamic perspective. It begins with an introduction to Islamic economics, explaining the foundational principles and distinctions from conventional economics. Students will explore microeconomics from an Islamic perspective, covering key topics such as supply and demand, costs and production, and the behavior of firms within various market structures, all examined through the lens of Islamic values. On the macroeconomic front, the course addresses issues like aggregate supply and demand, the role of government debt, and fiscal policy from an Islamic viewpoint. It further examines the characteristics of macroeconomic equilibrium in an Islamic economy, helping students understand the unique approaches to maintaining economic stability and growth. The course also covers money and monetary policy within an Islamic framework, and delves into the concepts of economic and social welfare, highlighting the importance of fair wealth distribution and social justice in Islamic economics. Throughout the course, students will engage in practical applications of their learning through presentations, encouraging them to apply theoretical knowledge to contemporary economic issues.
This course will analyze the causes and consequences of international trade and investment. We will investigate why nations trade, what they trade, and who gains (or not) from this trade. We will then analyze the motives for countries or organizations to restrict or regulate international trade and study the effects of such policies on economic welfare. Topics covered will include the effects of trade on economic growth and wage inequality, multinationals and foreign direct investment, international trade agreements and current trade policy disputes. We will also spend some time discussing aspects of the current debate on "globalization" such as the use of international labor standards, interactions between trade and environmental concerns, and the role of non-government organizations (NGOs). Although the course will emphasize the understanding of past and current events in the world economy, we will heavily rely on formal economic modelling to help us understand these events.

Process Simulation using Aspen HYSYS is intended for participants who are using Aspen HYSYS for the first time and have little or no experience in computer simulation. It can be used as an introductory course in freshmen chemical engineering courses, or workshops where Aspen HYSYS is being taught. The course can also serve as a reference in more advanced chemical engineering courses when Aspen HYSYS is used as a tool for simulation and solving problems. It also can be used for self-directed study of Aspen HYSYS by students and practicing engineers. In addition, the course can be a supplement in courses where Aspen HYSYS is used, but the instructor does not have time to cover it extensively. This course has been interactively designed where every single chapter has it's own learning outcome with a simple activity as well as reflection. It is expected that participants will be able to articulate simulation skills obtained in this course to solve or plan the solution for complex chemical engineering process simulation problems.

Comparative literature is the study of literature from around the world, transcending the restrictions of national and linguistic boundaries. Traditionally, comparative study was based on literary movements, periods and lines of influence, as well as on genres, themes, myths, and legends. In recent years comparative literature has come to include the comparison of literature with other areas of human experience. Comparative literature offers students the opportunity to study a broad range of literary subjects from various cultures throughout the world. Courses are offered in European literature from ancient to contemporary times; in the literature of Asia, Africa, and Latin America; in folk literature, legend, fantasy, and science fiction; in literary theory; and in special topics such as travel literature, literature and existentialism, and Malaysian literature and film (especially P.Ramlee’s work). All reading is done in English translation. The comparative literature is used as preparation for the single subject (secondary school) teaching credential in English language.
