How to Successfully Bring a Product or Service to Market Using Online Marketing
In this class, you will learn and apply marketing strategies to create two online marketing campaigns - YouTube & Facebook.
You will learn and apply the following: market research, YouTube analytics, salesmanship and copywriting, Internet ad creation, Internet ad placement, etc.
The course will use active learning in every class (discussion and group work).
There will be a short lecture each week followed by a hands-on activity to put the information learned into action. Some activities will be done individually, but several activities will be group-based. Homework will be given every week, including several discussions and presentations.
By the end of the class, you will have done a YouTube consulting project, a Facebook consulting project, and have improved your presentation skills.
***Please note that eight classes will be held live on campus and six classes will be held live on Zoom. You must attend and be able to participate live, not by a class recording or on-demand.***
In this class, you will improve your English writing skills by translating poems into English and composing your own original English poems in traditional Japanese genres. We will cover haiku and tanka by relatively recent (late Shōwa through present day) poets, and AI/algorithmically-created poetry.
Students on this course study a range of public policy issues, develop the ability to analyze these issues, provide solutions, hold extended discussions with classmates, and make academic presentations. We will widen students’ content knowledge in English on these issues while also working on the skill of openly exchanging ideas and opinions.
Learners will have the opportunity to explore and apply sustainability concepts in real life contexts. We will look especially at sustainability in the land environment of coastal communities.

Improvisation!
Improvisation is speaking, acting or creating something without having prepared it. How do people do that? Where do they get their ideas from? And where do they get the confidence? Let's find out! You will play games together. You will learn to generate ideas, be flexible in your thinking, both work with a team and be confident improvising by yourself. Let's enjoy the thrill of trying something outside your comfort zone.
Your final project will be a group performance.
Japan - India Connections
This class is designed for students who wish to develop the skills of discussion and academic presentation through studying major themes about Japan-India connections. The course will lay special emphasis on pre-reading, discussion in class and making a final project presentations on any of the related themes. There will be opportunities to discuss with undergraduate students in India online (scheduled in Class 6 and Class 12) to understand social issues and enhance your knowledge for final presentation.

There will also be an opportunity to work with students of Trier University in Germany (online collaboration: exchange, discussion, possibly presentations).
Wie denken junge Deutsche? Was koennen wir ihnen ueber die japanische Gesellschaft mitteilen? Was moechten wir ueber Deutschland wissen?
In diesem Seminar sprechen wir ueber gesellschaftliche Trends in Japan und Deutschland, wie immer gemeinsam mit einer Partnergruppe an der Martin Luther-Universitaet in Halle. In gemischten Kleingruppen (SFC-Uni Halle) werden per Video-Chat Themen zur Praesentation vorbereitet. Bei der Aufbereitung der Themen werden wir die Instrumente Medienrecherche, Umfragen und Interviews nutzen. Die Ergebnisse werden im Plenum besprochen und in Video-Konferenzen vorgestellt. Arbeitssprachen sind Deutsch und Japanisch.
Il n’est pas de société humaine qui ne valorise certains actes et n’en prohibe d’autres. Chaque société conçoit des règles pour mesurer et juger des comportements qu’elle qualifie de « normal » et auxquelles les membres d’un groupe doivent se soumettre sous peine d’être exclu de la communauté. L’individu non conforme au reste du groupe est alors qualifié de « déviant » par rapport à la norme en vigueur dans ce groupe. Mais, qu’est-ce qui définit la nature déviante d’un acte ? L’objectif de ce cours sera, à partir de textes choisis, de comprendre la construction sociale de la déviance et ainsi, par conséquence, nous déduirons ce qu’on a définit par « normalité » selon la société et l’époque.
The purpose of this course is to examine the diversity of language and culture through Chinese. China has a large population, vast territory and abundant cultures. Every region has its own cultural background and linguistic habits. PUTONGHUA is only one of the many aspects present in the Chinese language. In order to make you learn about the internal diversity of Chinese, I will introduce dialects, especially the form spoken in Taiwan. And then, through the contrast between Chinese and other languages, you can develop your understanding of Chinese while familiarizing yourself with the differences of the cultures behind those languages.
In this course, we will examine various issues in Korean society using Korean documentaries(which are not easily accessible in Japan). Starting with various analysis of the actual reality of Korean society, we will take a quick look at how we can explain it academically. In particular, using Korean society as an concrete example, we will have an opportunity to think about what position we can take on various kinds of inequality and discrimination.
The Nikkei Communities in Latin America and Japan
In this course we will explore the Nikkei communities in Latin America from a historical and cultural perspective. Students will analyze the historical background of the Japanese migration to Latin America, the settlement and community development. The analysis of the historical processes will enable the students to understand the contemporary features of Nikkei communities in different Latin American societies. In the second part of the course, we will examine the so-called “return migration” to Japan. This analysis aims to understand these ethnic minorities, whose temporary migration has gradually turned into a permanent stay.
Along the course we aim to consider the main causes and effects of migration, the cultural characteristics of the migrants and their families, and the effects of their settlement on their children education. Additionally, we will discuss the migrants’ identity and the maintenance (or non) of their heritage language.
This course examines the communication issues of Japanese society toward accepting linguistic and cultural diversities. In particular, it is focused on the phenomena of the difference in culture, language, beliefs and customs that produce unequal power relations. Students are required to explore the aspects of culture and communication from critical perspectives to solve problems that arise from people of different linguistic and cultural backgrounds living together. Through the course, students will be expected to gain a critical perspective regarding culture and communication.
The focus of this Project course is on providing ample opportunity to improve your writing for academic or work purposes. Learners will have the opportunity to explore several self-directed learning courses and apply the concepts in their own writing. There will also be chances to do timed writing and vocabulary building exercises.
In this class, students are expected to study about basic statistics by analyzing data empirically. Basic techniques such as data collection, statistical analysis and presentation are introduced.
Lectures include (1) description of data such as average, variance and correlation, (2) basics of probability theories such as population and samples, stochastic distributions and sample distributions, and (3) statistical models such as regression analysis and analysis of variance.
Lecturers might change contents of syllabus.

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.
This class is an introduction to probability. Probability is a theory that quantifies uncertain phenomena and is the fundamental mathematics in a wide range of fields such as data science, economics, and engineering. After covering some basics of probability (joint probability, conditional probability, Bayes' theorem etc), we will learn quantitate aspects of probability distributions (random variable, expectation values, variance etc).
