1131 Special Topics on Research Methods in Geography(地理學研究法專題討論)
This course is mainly divided into three parts: How to design research questions? How to choose a suitable research method? How to write a research plan? The theory and practice are equally emphasized. The research methods of different domains including physical geography, human geography and geoinformatics will be introduced. The main teaching method is cooperative learning. The final assignment is writing a research proposal.
◎This is a cross-level course and is available for junior and senior undergraduate students, master's students.

[113-1] 生物地理與自然保育研討 (Studies in Biogeography and Natural Conservation)
Students who have taken undergraduate courses in biogeography and/or conservation biology are familiar with the foundational theories and landmark cases. However, they may not always grasp the broader context in which these ideas exist. This course is designed to encourage students to delve deeply into research papers, seeking comprehensive knowledge in biogeography and biological conservation.
Through weekly journal club-style discussions led by the instructor, guest speakers, or peers, students will enhance their specialized knowledge in biogeography. These sessions will also help students develop the critical skills needed to read and analyze research papers, including classic studies.
This year's course will be notably different from previous years. To further engage participants and maximize the value of their time and effort, we will not only focus on discussing papers but also collaborate on writing a review paper on selected biogeography or conservation issues, with the goal of publishing our work. The keywords for this year is ‘invasive speciesʼ.
Prior knowledge in biogeography, ecology, and/or evolutionary biology is highly recommended but not required for taking this course.
Please note this is an EMI course. All participants are anticipated to actively express their thoughts with spoken and written English.
113(1) 製圖學研討(Studies in Cartography)
針對每週主題，教師透過投影片及多媒體教材進行主題講解。請同學在家務必事先預習並蒐集資料，講師在課堂上針對主題講解後會提出議題，請同學參與討論。講師會於適當時機提出實際製圖問題，請同學思考並討論解決方案。每位同學均需挑選與地圖相關主題進行研究，依本系<地理研究>格式撰寫一份學術論文作為期末報告。
1131多變量分析(Multivariate Analysis)
本課程主要目的為培養學生使用多變量分析方法來解決地理問題的能力，課程以實際個案為腳本，解釋如何應用適當的多變量分析方法來建立模式和解決問題，並培養研究生解讀論文中多變量分析報表的能力。本課程注重方法的理解與實務應用，使用統計軟體SPSS、地理資訊系統ArcGIS Pro空間統計分析工具和空間分析軟體Geoda進行實務操作與分析。
