(This semester, we will conduct the Tuesdays' classes on-campus and Fridays' classes on-line through Zoom interactive format. The final exams, both written and oral, will be held on-campus. Students facing difficulties attending the classes on-campus should explain the situation and consult the Spanish Department before the start of classes.)
Spanish Basic 2 is the second step in the Spanish language curriculum at SFC. Our objective will be to acquire the skills necessary for basic everyday communication. We will make a first encounter with this language spoken by 427 million people around the world, learn how to communicate using it, and understand its basic structures. By carrying out three tasks using Spanish and through the examination of our own foreign-language learning process, we will attach great importance to your development and growth as a learner who takes responsibility of his/her own learning, i.e. as a learner who not only learns Spanish, but also learns ‘how to learn.’ This course covers the second half of the "A1 level" defined by the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). After completing this course, students can proceed to take the Intensive 2 course.
Students with some previous knowledge of basic Spanish might want to enroll directly into this Spanish Basic 2. In that case we encourage you to consult the Department of Spanish and Spanish-Speaking Societies and take the placement test before the semester begins.
(This course will be taught online in interactive format through Zoom, and students are asked to participate with their cameras on. Final oral and written exams will be held on-campus. Students who have reasons that inhibit them from coming into campus should consult the Spanish Department prior to the start of the course.)
Basic 1 is a course designed for those beginning in their study of the Spanish language, advancing at a pace slower then Intensive 1 with 2 classes per week. We welcome students interested in Spanish-speaking societies and cultures, who wish to engage in multilingual education including Spanish, as well as those aspiring to broaden their career options through the acquisition of this language. The Spanish courses at SFC is not divided into the traditional "grammar" and "communication" modules, and emphasises the importance of integrating both aspects through active learning approach. This requires participation of students in classes. Although this is a "Basic" course, we will still proceed at a relatively high speed, and students are expected to secure sufficient amount of self-study time outside classes to assure the thorough understanding of newly-learned expressions and vocabularies. Spanish Basic 1, together with Basic 2, corresponds to the level A1 in the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). We are experimenting with multi-language teaching, and are happy to accept GIGA students with developing knowledge of Japanese. After completing Basic 1 and 2, students will be allowed to advance to Intensive 2.
Biology has transformed into a data-driven science, due to the advent of numerous high-throughput measurement technologies. Central to these innovations is the genetic information. One of the core properties of living systems is the existence of genetic information, and analysis of this information, is the central challenge of bioinformatics. Moreover, analysis of genes and genomes through bioinformatics is basically an informatics problem. In this course, major software tools and algorithms for searching, comparison, assembly, variation detection, quantification of genetic sequences would be covered, with hands-on workshops, to understand the basics of genome and bioinformatic analyses.
Laws, such as laws, contracts, and precedents, are important infrastructures or operating systems of society, and have a great impact on industry and culture. In this course, you will learn how to interpret and design laws and regulations in order to promote industry and culture. In this lecture, we will explore how laws, contracts, and precedents have influenced industries and cultures in Japan and other countries, and how they can contribute in the future, through various case studies. In particular, by leveraging the concept of "legal design" advocated by the lecturer, we will analyze and examine existing businesses, services, expressions, etc. from a legal perspective in order to discover new perspectives on existing business management, industrial and cultural policies, etc. The goal of this program is to develop human resources with such a perspective and to nourish the perspective of updating Japan's policies and management through "legal design" of policies and management.

Expect students who seek carrier as information technology/information security manager in organizations, consultants, researchers etc.
Mainly learn about Internet operation. As Internet users, many people are already using various Internet applications and recognizing their usefulness. However, there are few opportunities to come into contact with Internet connection methods, firewall operation technology, NAT operation technology, larger network operation technology, network management, and so on. In this lecture, we will explain these contents and acquire the knowledge and skills to set up, manage, and operate the network.
Various software systems are used in the current computer system. The most fundamental software system is Operating system. Every computer has its operating system and it allows other software to operate on the computer. On top of the operating system, there are several important middleware software systems. We pick up some of the software systems which we use in our daily computer use and look into their functions and mechanisms.
The Internet becomes a social infrastructure in the last 20 years. On the other hand, only specialists know the details of the Internet technology. The goal of this class is that you learn the concept of Internet, how to work using the Internet. The architecture of the Internet is very simple. The simplicity is the most important point to be base of various system.
During the first half (1-7th time), you will learn how to insert a recombinant gene into a plasmid vector and analyze its gene expression in the bacteria Escherichia coli. During the last half (8-14th time), you will learn how to culture human cells, transfect plasmids, and edit the human genome using the CRISPR/Cas9 system.
Policies give us the framework to find and solve issues, but how are these policies made? There’s no one “justice” or “correct answer.” Many related parties (stakeholders) have their own ”justice” and “correct answer.”
There’s an increasing need for people who have policy literacy, see the true nature of issues, and create policies. Therefore, the purpose of this workshop is to find challenges that need a policy, look for causes, establish a policy, communicate it to the public, and learn how this process works.
In this class, you will learn practical measures to create new businesses that will solve the social problems. The class is especially for those who are interested in starting social businesses, etc. As a final outcome, you will design and present a new business, both social and practical, to solve the problems around SFC campus area, “Forest for Health and Culture (Endo area)”.
The class will be stimulating, so like SFC, and consists of lectures, business school case discussions, lectures and discussions of special guests who have connections to Keio University. The variety of the class contents will develop the problem finding and solving ability, and the positive action toward the problems. I strongly wish this class contributes to your research project and the creation of lively scene around SFC campus.
Geography is the study of nature and human activities on the globe. Advances in information and communication technologies have made it easier to access geographic information on the web. As you are connected to the web all the time by smartphone, it is not necessary to memorize geographical information. Today, what we are required to do is not just memorization but to learn how to use geographical information. However, many students do not study geography at high school, we don’t know how to use them. Through the course, you will leran about various medias of geographical information such as maps, photographs and movies, including letter information.
