In the first half we study set theory and mathematical logic. These are useful of logical thinking. In the latter half we study probability. We overview permutation and combination, which you have learned at high school, and then, we study probability. Our goal is Bayesian Theory. This is new for all. Mathematics in university is different from one in high school. Even if you are no good at calculation and memory, you have a chance to enjoy mathematics in university.

In Fundamentals of Information Technology 2, the goal is to take what you learned in Fundamentals of Information Technology 1 further and create a program of a certain size by yourself.

When creating a program, it is rare that you create everything yourself from nothing at all, and usually you create it using ready-made parts called libraries. There are many types of libraries depending on what you want to make, but this time we will use a library called Pyxel for making retro 2D games.

At first, we will use Pyxel to review Fundamentals of Information Technology 1 and study Python features that were not covered in Fundamentals of Information Technology 1. After that, we will make our own original game.

Intensive 3 is an intensive class four times a week for students who have finished Intensive 1. In this course, students will acquire expressions based on language functions and learn reading, writing and conversation skills in a well-balanced manner. After completing this course, students will be able to have communication on various occasions using simple Arabic sentences.

Arabic is the official language of more than 20 countries and is the world language adopted as one of the six official languages of the United Nations. The Arabic alphabet looks complicated at first glance, but actually consists of only about 30 letters and is used in various languages other than Arabic. Why don't you learn Arabic at SFC for global exchange?

Intensive 1 is an intensive Arabic class four times a week for beginners. Starting with learning of Arabic alphabet, students will learn basic vocabulary, grammar and expressions in a well-balanced manner, using original teaching materials.

This course is designed to help students improve their oral communication skill necessary for the TCF (Test de connaissance du français) or various interviews. In these types of communication, it is important to understand speakers correctly, and also to express your own opinion clearly and logically with appropriate vocabulary. Furthermore, it is desirable to be acquainted with current topics and cultural issues. In this course, the focus will be put on these aspects in order to develop students’ oral communication skill.
N.B. This course is open to all students who satisfy the requirement a) or b) if they do not plan to take the TCF.

This course is designed to help students improve their academic skills in French. Each session will be devoted to discussion training on a specific subject or, upon request, to academic writing exercises and oral presentation. More detailed information will be provided on the first day of class.

Intensive French 2 provides the basic skills for A1-A2 level learners of French. Students will learn to understand simple and short sentences in familiar situations and will be able to communicate with French speakers in daily situations. Students will also be able to explain problems by using easy vocabulary.

This course is for beginners at A1 level. Students will learn to understand simple and easy situations in daily life and be able to communicate with French speakers on limited topics and at a slow pace.

In this course, we do not use textbooks. Each one of the four instructors works on a specific task (cultural background comprehension, structure of French, conversational skills, and re-applying the acquired skill) to construct each session, according to the interests of students.

Basic 2 is the continuation of Basic 1. In Basic 2 you will learn more verbs to describe your day to day activities. This class also explore all the four skills and communication skill.

In recent years, the Bayesian approach has been attracting attention not only in the natural sciences, such as biostatistics and spatial statistics, but also in the social sciences, such as marketing, policy analysis, and econometrics. In this class, we will cover the basics and applications of Bayesian statistics, assuming a basic knowledge of classical statistics, and will include exercises in R and other languages. Markov chain Monte Carlo, empirical Bayes and hierarchical Bayes, Bayesian inference on regression and correlation, Bayesian econometrics, etc.

Based on “Introduction of Statistics,” this course will enhance student’s understanding of the theories and practices of data science and develop the following statistical abilities: discovering the problems of the current status, hypothesizing and building the models based on data, and verifying them. It will focus on applicative topics of linear models (model selection, logistic regression, and generalized linear model etc.) and the various methods of multivariate analyses such as principal component analysis, discriminant analysis, variance analysis, factor analysis, cluster analysis, and tree-model.

The basic software of a computer is called its operating system (OS). The operating system loads other programs to create processes.
Programs use the file system, network, and other services provided by the OS. There are many operating systems, including Windows and
MacOS, but in this class we will focus on Unix and Linux. The basic concepts of processes, system calls, memory management and virtual
memory, file systems, networking, security and other subsystems will be presented. Because concurrency and parallelism are fundamental,
and are becoming increasingly important at the application level, students will write at least one concurrent program.

In the first half we study set theory and mathematical logic. These are useful of logical thinking. In the latter half we study probability. We overview permutation and combination, which you have learned at high school, and then, we study probability. Our goal is Bayesian Theory. This is new for all.

Intensive Chinese4 is designed for the students who have either passed Intensive 3 in the previous semester or those who passed the qualification exam called “Kakyo”.
The course is taught by both native and Japanese teachers. Chinese is the only language allowed in the class.
The textbook, edited by the SFC Chinese Laboratory, is different from the one used in intensive Chinese 1-3. The contents of the textbook are divided into 4 topics: Chinese society, Chinese economy, Chinese politics and diplomacy, and Taiwan issues. Each topic, consisting of 4 classes, is taught on different weekdays. Students are required to preview the textbook, participate in discussions, and make presentations in Chinese.

Intensive course 2 is designed for the students who have either passed Intensive 1 in the previous semester or those who passed the qualification exam called “Kakyo”. The size of each class is limited to 25 students and there are 4 classes in a year.

The course is taught by both native and Japanese teachers. Chinese is the only language allowed in the class.

The class is designed for the students who have never learned Chinese before. Students will mainly focus on practicing their Chinese pronunciation and studying new grammars and vocabularies in order to communicate in Chinese with each other. The class is taught by both native and Japanese teachers, using a unique teaching method called “Direct Introductory Method”.

※Due to the Covid-19, most of the classes are going to be held online. If the situation settles down, the final examination would be held on campus.

Intensive 1 is a beginner level. This class is hold four times a week intensively. The class will explore basic grammar, conversation and day to day vocabularies. Indonesian culture such as day to day living will also discussed and presented.

The goal of this class is to view problems surrounding contemporary Japan from various angles and to consider possible policy options and solutions. The class will focus "what is happening in Japan now" and acquire views form Japan to deepen our understanding of Japan. At the end of the semester, the participants will organize into groups and make presentations on Japan's policy issues.

In this class, we will explain what kind of academic field “Environment and Information Studies” is (Advanced Computing and Communication Systems, Design Engineering and Media Art, Advanced Biosciences, Environmental Design, Human Environment) and what it aims to achieve. I will explain the basic things you need to know when studying at the Faculty of Environment and Information Studies, and introduce what kind of education and research is being conducted in each field.

This is an introductory lecture to the Faculty of Environment and Information Studies (SFC), and its purpose is to give an overview of the various research projects at SFC and to give students a "little" taste of what is interesting about them. The class aims to be a compass for students to start their future research life. It will be a place to think about what the environment is, what information is, and the relationship between the them.

This is an introductory class for freshers at Faculty of Policy Management. SFC's Faculty of Policy Management was the first undergraduate faculty/department focusing on policy studies in Japan. How it started, has developed and will evolve are discussed at first. Then, we will explore very basic concepts of political science, economics, legal studies, and management studies. These areas and disciplines are core basis for policy studies.
