Designing life knowledge in practice
exploration and designing of one's own body from the viewpoint of cognitive science
Arduino [ simple input / output microcontroller board system] was born, and rapid prototyping became familiar. Rapid prototyping is changing to literacy over the past decade. The skills to master complex technologies centering on electronic circuits are becoming commonsense skills, as well as skills to write emails and watch websites. Based on these backgrounds, this lecture aims at acquiring prototyping literacy through various hands-on workshop practices. Instead of explaining the basic theory of analog / digital circuits, we aim to master basic skills of manufacturing based on electronic circuits.

Analytical chemistry is one of the essential sciences needed in advancing medical, pharmaceutical, food and environmental researches. Due to technological advancement in analytical instruments, operators can now obtain analytical results easily without the need of understanding the underlying principles of the instruments. The purpose of this lecture is to discuss the basis of analytical chemistry that is used in advanced biosciences.
The main objective of the lecture is to achieve a comprehensive understanding of biochemistry that is closely liked to physiology and/or pathology.
The metabolic enzymes had widely been investigated in the 20th century. The old academic theme, however, has greatly expanded mainly by the development of analytical technologies. The recent advances in molecular biology are built on the knowledge of basic biochemistry.
Physical and Mental Health for Campus Life is a prerequisite for second year advancement. Freshmen are strongly recommended to enroll during their first semester.
Through lecture and group work, this course aims to provide fundamental knowledge for a healthy and productive campus life and further prepare the student to be a self-managing and self-sufficient leader of society after graduation.
In Fall semester, there is also Physical and Mental Health for Campus Life in English. This course is for GIGA program students and international students, and special emphasis is placed on Intercultural adaptation issues. Students who are not accustomed to Japanese culture are strongly recommended to take English course.
This English Project course is about strengthening the ability to correctly express one’s views. Language components of the course are reading and speaking. Students work on these two target skills by researching and discussing issues that have impacted lives in a remarkable way. Class activities are designed in a way that enables students to broaden their global view while working on their language needs.
The purpose of this course is to provide opportunities with students to collect beneficial data or results through fieldwork or research activity within or outside of Japan that is related to students’ research theme. Students are required to submit a "Research/Internship Plan" before their fieldwork begins. Students’plans are reviewed and only students who received an approval on their plans will be allowed to register this course in the following semester. Detail information about application procedure and duration of fieldwork will be announced on the Keio Student Website. Fieldwork should be conducted during spring or summer break. Students must select a faculty member as an advisor for their fieldwork-related course. Students are expected to receive advice from their advisors for the duration of three hours or more in advance. The actual duration of fieldwork should be at least forty-five hours. In principle, students’ advisors should be involved in a project/activity/events/work that students will participate in as their fieldwork. Students cannot conduct fieldwork which is not related to their research themes. Students who have completed their fieldwork must submit the report. Detail information about assignment will be announced on the Keio Student Website. Please check the web site frequently.

There are many definitions of culture. Some would define it as the art, literature, and music of people, their architecture, history, religion, their traditions. Some others might focus more on the customs and specific behavior of the people. The course chooses a sociological definition of culture as the way of life of a group of people, developed over time and passed down from generation to generation. This broad definition includes every aspect of human life and interaction. The course is chosen to make a values approach focusing on the traditional mainstream values that have attracted people to the states. The course traces how values affect aspects of life.
Students are to read latest articles from weekly news magazine (mainly Time and occasionally Newsweek), Students will be given 2 (occasionally 3) articles every class (they are to choose one for classwork and one for homework or each student may choose any article from the provided news sites for homework). Each student will read, summarize, and analyze one article in class and one at home. Articles will vary from economics, politics to science and culture, but students will be given various types of articles every week. All summaries and analyses done at home must be handed in for the instructor to check the grammar and logic. Analyses will be presented (not by all students) orally in class. (The Instructor will mainly explain and analyze the articles in the first few lessons: students are expected to do the same in the remaining classes of the semester.) All summaries and analyses are to be handed one week after last day of class by email

This class is designed to provide students with the opportunity to experience the intellectual challenges and satisfactions of writing an argumentative research paper on a topic of their choice in the field of EFL or in other fields. For example, students choose a controversial issue on English education (e.g. Should English be taught at elementary schools in Japan?) or on another academic area (e.g. Should the possession of firearms be prohibited in the U.S. ? )and present/defend their point of view using the information gathered. Through this semester-long project, students become accustomed to the process of writing a research paper: reviewing the techniques/rules necessary for academic writing (e.g. paragraph/essay development), using the library and the Internet to get necessary information, conducting a questionnaire /interview to support their position on the issue, and weaving the work of others into their own research paper in the APA style. At the end of this semester, students must submit a final paper (8 or more than 8 typed pages including a cover, abstract, and reference pages). In this class, students interact a great deal with one another, so active participation in pair/group work is essential.
This class is designed to prepare students for the iBT TOEFL but will be good for those wanting to succeed academically in English-speaking colleges and universities as well. The iBT TOEFL test is different from the paper version of the test in that it puts more emphasis on authentic communication; the test requires test-takers to use not only all four language skills (listening, reading, speaking, writing) in isolation but a combination of two or more of those skills. This means no longer would students be able to boost their overall score just by studying grammar. In response to the change, an integrated-skills approach will be incorporated in this class; students will be provided with tasks that challenge them to use more than one skill at a time. For instance, students will synthesize and summarize the academic lectures they have heard/read and present it through speaking or writing. Students will complete these tasks in pairs/groups, in class or individually at home. In addition to these integrated tasks, students will write essays on a variety of TOEFL-type topics using Criterion (online writing evaluation system) developed by ETS. Good attendance and active participation in class are essential.

This class is designed to help students achieve the highest possible score on the TOEIC but will be found appropriate by those wanting to go beyond the fundamentals of English grammar as well. The class will review grammar forms and structures that are most likely to be found on the TOEIC and that reflect the most important recurrent trouble spots for language learners. Students will be asked to complete TOEIC-style exercises at home, discuss why the wrong answers are wrong in groups, and then in class and finally take some review tests. Although the main focus is on grammar, students will take a short listening/reading test at the beginning of each class and get opportunities for speaking practice on wide-ranging topics including work-related topics. This class is NOT a teacher-centered class, so active participation in group/class discussions is essential.
