GRAD CORE II

GRAD CORE II:PROTEIN/THERMODYN

This course presents a rigorous introduction to solution thermodynamics and applies it to understanding the structural and functional features of proteins. After exploring the conceptual origins of thermodynamic theory, the standard equations describing solution equilibria are derived and applied to analyzing biochemical reactions, with a focus on those involved in protein folding and allosteric communication. The semester culminates with exploration of the energetic factors controlling the formation of protein secondary structures and the role of entropy-enthalpy compensation in determining the complex temperature-dependent thermodynamic properties of aqueous solutions. The course emphasizes both qualitative understanding of the thermodynamic forces controlling the evolution and function of living organisms as well as practical application of thermodynamic methods and structural insight in laboratory research. Tutorials cover the use of curve-fitting techniques to analyze biochemical equilibria as well as the use of molecular visualization software to understand protein structure and function. This is a half semester, 2-point course.

GOVERNANCE/PUB MGT-DEV COUNTRS

Government institutions shape the formulation and implementation of public policies.  How these institutions are organized and managed and, crucially, how they interact with their broader governance environment can determine policy outcomes.   A canon of public management approaches to improve organizational effectiveness has evolved in advanced industrialized countries.  How well do these universal principles and techniques fit with institutional problems confronted by developing countries?    This course will explore public management in less developed -- both middle income and fragile, low-capacity - environments.  It will ground the discussion in theoretical thinking about organizations, economics and politics but will emphasize practice, providing students with a perspective on tackling problems under real-world conditions.  Where appropriate, the course will reflect on the experience of international development assistance agencies in promoting institutional development.  The developing country focus notwithstanding, the course will deconstruct the global public management revolution that has swept the developed world, as this has been the template for much of the advice offered to poor countries over the last several decades.   The course will employ lectures, case studies, as well as team simulation and role-playing exercises that provide students with the opportunity to walk in the shoes of on-the-ground public management practitioners and policy makers.  The aim is to expose students to the wide range of institutional development issues which occupy a broad swath of multi- and bi-lateral as well as non-profit development assistance organizations in poor and middle income countries.   While students will frequently be required to think and behave as though they were operating in the real world of applied development, they should not expect to be trained in specific management skills or to learn the intricacies of how to manage.

ANALYSIS OF PUBLIC SECTOR ORG

This course develops a framework for understanding organizational performance, with a focus on public sector managerial settings. Topics covered include decision-making, the design of tasks and careers, the evolution of modern bureaucracies, public versus private ownership, and agency reform. The analytical approaches include game theory, behavioral economics, and the theory of incentives and contracts. Some examples will be drawn from American political institutions, but the goal is for students to acquire analytical skills that will be broadly applicable. While the course would be appropriate for all MIA and MPA students, it will likely be of particular interest to students with academic backgrounds in political science or economics.

PROGRAMMING FOR ENTREPRENEURS

In this course, you will learn the fundamentals of programming so you can start writing web applications that can potentially be used in non-profit or public sectors. The course will be very hands-on and you are expected to code during the class. The topics will include - fundamentals of computer science, programming basics, data structures, client-server architecture, javascript, application programming interface, LAMP stack and web frameworks, design tools, scalability issues and infrastructure for application deployment. We will discuss some of these topics in the context of agile development methodology for startups. If you are interested in building a startup as a social entrepreneur, the tools and methods you learn in this course should help you in coding the first prototype of your application. As part of the final project, you are expected to build a fully functional web application. No programming background is required. Students are expected to complete all the reading assignments before the first day of class.

EFFECTIVE MGMT IN THE PUB SERV

This course serves as an introduction to management in government and in the non-profit and private organizations that contract with and/or partner with government to provide public services.  Lectures, cases, discussions and group projects focus on an array of management tools that help managers implement public policy and deliver critical services.  While many examples come from the instructor’s experience in New York City and US state and federal agencies, numerous comparative cases and projects from Asia, Latin America and Europe are used to discover best practices, common challenges and the impact of culture on organization behavior. The course will be valuable to those expecting a career in large, complex organizations, either as a manager or a policy advisor. A laboratory section focuses on assigned readings and case studies, provides more opportunities for student discussions and brings in prominent guest speakers from all three sectors.
