Course Description
This course explores the life and work of Michelangelo, one of the most revolutionary, respected, and influential Renaissance artists. We focus on four main and interrelated areas, and the dynamic relationships between them: painting, sculpture, architecture, and drawing. Most weeks, we meet once in the classroom, to look, from many points of view, at Michelangelo’s works, working process, interactions with patrons, and his impact on other artists. Then, we meet on site, to explore his works in person in museums, churches, piazzas, and other sites. Other important components of the course are group discussions of the readings, and presentations of student research and creative projects.Course Objectives and Learning Outcomes
Below are the course’s learning outcomes, followed by the methods that will be used to assess students’ achievement for each learning outcome. By the end of this course, students will be able to:
- express what they see in Michelangelo’s works with greater precision and accurate terms (Intermediate Tests, Reading Presentation, Class Discussion)
- identify the materials and techniques employed by Michelangelo, and explain the impact of these aspects on the appearance of the final works (Mid-Term Exam, Final Exam, Term Paper)
- explain the function and message of Michelangelo’s major works (Mid-Term Exam, Final Exam, Term Paper, Class Discussion)
- distinguish between documented facts and interpretative perception of Michelangelo’s life and works (Reading Review, Term Paper, Class Discussion)

This course proposes to introduce students from multiple academic backgrounds to the use of negotiation as a means of dispute resolution, and to provide a forum for dialogue in line with the “core values” of ISI such as “integrity, service, action, and leadership to advance and improve our world.”
On an elevated theoretical and doctrinal level, this course will teach students to be aware of their own negotiation processes, both in terms of conceptualizing negotiable problems; behavior when negotiating; and the negotiation choices they make.

What is “Social Media”- and how will developing media skills help students plan successful careers in the world of food? The world of social media has its specialized vocabulary for food studies as well as other fields.
Key terms such as "strategy," "engagement," and "content" form the basis of our study.
More importantly, we may say that social media today is a "must" not only for any business company seeking a place in the market but also for anyone willing to emerge professionally and build a career in a society where most people expect to have whatever they need whenever they want
