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.

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 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.

Type:Oral

Keyword:Discussion,Listening,Presentation,Speaking,Vocabulary

Course Description:

The First unit is for introduction and preparation. Each subsequent unit begins and ends with a presentation in order to demonstrate the students’ progress, both to the instructor and to the students themselves. These will be delivered solo, on assigned topics with approximately a minute allowed for preparation. Following the initial presentation, there will be a brief intro followed by exercises and role plays. The role plays will be geared to provide the student with the opportunity of using some part of the skill set in a focused way. Each unit will be organized to gradually expand on the skills involved, in preparation for the exams. Prior to the Midterm and the Final, there will be a consolidation practice day to give the students another opportunity to apply the skills in an integrated way. Any remaining time may be used to begin preparation for the exam

NOTE: This course is conducted in both English and Japanese.

This course is for those who want to think better and to be happier. Students will learn basic critical thinking skills: abilities to analyze and evaluate ideas and arguments skillfully as well as to present ideas and arguments logically and efficiently. Critical thinking is considered a skill to understand and analyze OTHER people's ideas and arguments, but it can also be used to understand YOUR own ideas and thought. Through critical thinking, students will be encouraged to think about themselves: what their values are, who they are, and what they can do to be happier.

Would you like to improve your listening? By listening to real people? In this course, we will interview our classmates and tell stories to each other. Then we will act those stories as short role plays. This technique, called "Playback Theater" means that you can practise living English in real time, and we can see the effect in real time. If you think "yes, they are acting exactly what I wanted to say!", then you have immediate feedback about your own communication. Much better than a test!
This course will help you improve your English listening skills, and how to explain yourself better. You will also learn basic interviewing skills.

An Introduction to India.

The course will help students understand the ideas connected to India on key themes and develop analytical and presentation skills. We will study nation states, communities, orientalism, classical and modern languages, religion, secularism, colonial writing, caste system, Indian living abroad, modernity, food, films and fashion. The course will have group discussion and project presentation. The presentation theme will be decided in class based on a discussion.

The course is firmly based on the idea that language is a powerful reflection of cultural values, and therefore uses translation as a means to explore the workings and characteristics of our own language as well as those of English. Making use of subtitled/dubbed movies and TV shows as material, we will mainly work on Japanese to English translations. In every class, we will challenge ourselves with the task of creating our own "sub-channel" scripts or subtitles. It is an activity-based course in which students are expected to learn from practical experience and experimentation. Creativity, imagination, and humor will be highly appreciated. We will also be working towards a common goal- producing a dubbed ("fukikae") English version of a segment from a Japanese video of your choice in groups. In the beginning of the course we will work on English-language videos translating the subtitles or dubbed versions and "re-creating" the English scripts. After writing Japanese dub scripts for English videos for a few weeks, we finally move on to using Japanese materials to create the English versions.
In class, we will use short video segments and work on the translation in pairs or small groups. Class activities will basically follow the same procedure every week:
1. Watching the video segment
2. Translating and discussing in pairs or groups
3. Presenting the script and sharing each other's work
4. Comparing our versions with the original version
5. Discussing the work and material
