Courses Offered
Both courses described below will emphasize intensive interaction between faculty and students and a discussion-based and writing intensive curriculum. Classes will meet for a minimum of 3 hours a day. Morning class time will be supplemented with afternoon discussion groups, intensive research exercises, and visits to local sites connected to the course topics.
Creative Writing: An Introduction
Instructor: Steven Hayward, Associate Professor, Department of English, Colorado College
Cost: $4,780 (RMB 29,680)
Certificate of Achievement awarded for completion
Course Description: This is an introductory course for rising Senior One students. Students will write poetry, fiction, and creative nonfiction as well as read published examples of each. The class will experiment with the formal possibilities of different genres and look at what links and separates them. Through writing exercises and assignments, students will produce a portfolio that includes examples of all three genres. The course will endeavor to raise questions that all writers ask of themselves:
How do the materials of life get turned into writing?
What makes a good story?
How does the shape of a story or a poem reflect and connect to its subject matter?
Global Environmental Policy
Instructor: Mark Griffin Smith, Professor, Department of Economics, Colorado College
Cost: $6,400 (RMB 39,680)
One unit of Colorado College credit given for completion (equivalent of 4 credits in a semester system)
Course Description: For rising Senior Two students. Understanding the impact of environmental quality and natural resource use on society confronts us with three fundamental challenges. First, assessing how the environment affects the wellbeing of people in a society. Second, understanding how the decision-makers, i.e., those people whose actions impact the environment, see their decisions. Third, designing tools, usually in the hands of governments, to influence those decisions to help improve human welfare. This course will address these challenges in the context of environmental problems that are either shared around the globe, such as forestry, fisheries, energy and water use or are truly global in nature, in particular, climate change.
Bonus Workshop for all students
“Applying to Liberal Arts Colleges in the United States: An Interactive Workshop”
Program faculty and administrators from Colorado College will also offer a 3 hour workshop to students and their parents emphasizing the process for applying to college in the United States. Topics will include how to prepare applications (including required essays), the financial aid process, and adaptation to student life in a liberal arts setting.
（以下是梗概）
课程安排：
每天上三个小时课，（按照我们学校的风格一般是9:00-12:00）下午视情况可能会有小组讨论、实地考察，或者是研究调查之类的活动
课程选择：
A.Creative Writing: An Introduction
教授：Steven Hayward, Associate Professor, Department of English, Colorado College
学费：USD4780
课程结束的时候会发一个证书
个人点评：入门课，对于想要学习Literature/English/Classics的同学是个不错的选择，另外对于娃娃们的英/中/鸟文写作水平会有不少提高。（尤其是很多娃娃可能夏校之后还要对付SAT以及申请文章）比较遗憾的一点是该课程不给学分，只有一个证书发
B.Global Environmental Policy
教授：Mark Griffin Smith, Professor, Department of Economics, Colorado College
学费：USD6400
结课以后会给一个Unit的Credit（在大多数学期制的学校相当于4个Credit）
个人点评：Environmental是俺学校的王牌，对于想学习相关专业以及经济、社会学的娃娃们是个很好的机会。尤其是一下给四个学分，个人感觉相当慷慨啊，可以抵掉一学期的课了...就是比起A选项学费略高，不过夏天飞一趟中美往返基本2000刀也就出来了吧...
Bonus Workshop：“Applying to Liberal Arts Colleges in the United States: An Interactive Workshop”
3小时的一个申请Workshop，由我们学校的Faculty和招生人员主持，会涉及到申请（尤其是Essay）准备、FA申请，以及如何适应学校（尤其是各类文理学院）的生活等等
