本課程更希望能透過串連起攸關生育、生命與死亡權利的法律與人權、人性尊嚴等觀念，以使學生瞭解這個新興議題在我國的發展與國際社會的脈動。
這門課選擇了對生命的所有權、生育權、墮胎、複製人、臨終病患、安樂死等攸關人類生命、權利與尊嚴等議題。平均每個議題上二到四次。每個單元的第一次由我透過幾個台灣的案例出發引導到一些國際案例與議題，並向學生介紹這些議題在我國的法律、文化與社會制度下呈現的樣貌與困境。第二或第三週，則要求學生參與討論，透過分享自己的經驗、想法以及個別國家制度等方式，提供所有學生更為多元的全球思維。
透過這些議題，這門課不僅提供學生關於生命與權利等議題的法律或科學通念，更希望能提供學生一個深思的機會，以從人性尊嚴與多元價值的角度自我探討對於自己與他人的生命價值的認知。This course hopes to connect legal and human rights, respect for the rights of childbirth, life and death, and other concepts, so that students can understand the development of this new issue in our country and the international community.
This course selects questions about the ownership of life, fertility, fetality, reproduction, end-of-life patients, and death of human life, rights and ruthlessness. On average, two to four times per question. The first time of each unit was introduced by me through several Taiwan cases to some international cases and discussions, and introduced to students the appearance and dilemma of these discussions under our legal, cultural and social systems. On the second or third week, students are required to participate in discussions and provide a more diverse global thinking for all students by sharing their experiences, ideas and systems of other countries.
Through these questions, this course not only provides students with legal or scientific concepts about life and rights, but also hopes to provide students with an opportunity to think deeply, and self-exploration of their own and others' awareness of the value of life from the perspective of human respect and diverse values.
通識課程不同於專業課程，實乃著重引導學生主動關懷、探索與實踐人類的終極價值與智慧；同時通識課程所提供的知識，不是專業課程的淺薄化，而是具有厚實感的基礎知識。本校根據創校傳統、校訓與辦學理念訂定通識教育定四大基本素養：求真素養、篤信素養、力行素養與宏通素養，以具體落實本校通識教育之理想。希望本校學生能發揮自主學習精神，在通識課程老師的引導下，逐漸培養其通識教育基本素養，並期待能終身學習。各種基本素養並訂有具體的學習成效指標，以做教學與學習成效之自我檢證的具體指標，分述如下：求真素養（自然領域）：1.學習自然科學的方法或哲學以探索物理與生命世界的微妙，2.發揮就事論事的精神，3.能參與科學議題相關的公共事務。篤信素養（人文領域）：1.學習人文精神以探索內在自我與領會人類文明的深層價值，2.發展自律精神，3.能運用理性進行道德推理。力行素養（社會領域）：1.運用社會科學的方法或哲學以激發學生的傾聽與溝通能力，2.承認與尊重多元差，3.實踐民主審議的精神。宏通素養（跨領域）：1.追求人類的整體價值，2.融通求真、篤信、力行等素養於個人生命之中。各領域的課程對於學習成效指標可以跨選，不必拘泥。
The general course is different from the professional course, and it focuses on guiding students to actively care, explore and understand the ultimate value and wisdom of human beings. At the same time, the knowledge provided by the general course is not the purity of the professional course, but the basic knowledge with a strong sense of reality. Our school has established four basic qualities for general education based on the concept of creating school traditions, school training and management: seeking truth, trustworthiness, striving for general education, and implementing the ideal of general education in our school in a specific way. I hope that students of this school can develop the spirit of independent learning, and under the guidance of general course teachers, they will gradually cultivate their basic qualities of general education, and look forward to finally learning. Various basic qualities are cultivated and have specific indicators for self-verification of teaching and learning results. They are divided into the following: Truth-seeking and nourishing (nature domain): 1. Learn the methods or philosophy of natural sciences to explore the subtleties of physics and the world of life, 2. Develop the spirit of doing things, 3. Be able to participate in public affairs related to scientific topics. Relief and nourishment (humanity field): 1. Learn the humanistic spirit to explore the deep value of inner self and leading human civilization, 2. Develop self-discipline spirit, 3. Be able to use rationality to conduct moral reasoning. Practice and cultivate (social field): 1. Use social science methods or philosophy to stimulate students' listening and communication skills, 2. Accept and respect for diversity and differences, 3. Realize the spirit of democratic review. Hongtong basic cultivation (cross-domain): 1. Pursuing the overall value of human beings, 2. Integrating truth-seeking, trustworthiness, and action in personal life. Courses in various fields can be selected across learning performance indicators without being restricted.
