This course will introduce the various model organisms that are used in biomedical research and discuss why these particular animals were chosen as models, what kind of research they are used for, and what we can learn from studying them. Ethical issues surrounding the use of animals in research will also be discussed. Students will be expected to read scientific journal articles and participate in class discussions. This class will be taught in English and students will be expected to speak in English and complete assignments in English.

【Please note that you are assessed on a five-level scale of A+, A, B, C, or F/Fail in this course.】 Arthur C. Clarke famously wrote that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." Yet, this magic can soon be understood, as the technology itself is further studied and explored. This 13-week course demystifies AI through accessible technical explanations, science fiction narratives, and real-world case studies. You'll explore how AI tools actually work, connect media hype to sci-fi representations, and critically examine AI's impacts through hands-on experimentation and reflective writing. Throughout the semester, you'll develop your own informed perspective on AI while building toward an "Unessay" final project: a creative synthesis of your learning presented in any medium you choose (essay, video, podcast, website, art piece, etc...). Weekly assignments will scaffold the skills needed for this project, and your perspective will determine whether AI is friend, enemy...or frenemy. Through active engagement, students will: Define what "AI" means and identify its intrinsic limitations Draw connections between AI hype and science fiction narratives Develop critical evaluation skills through experimentation and case studies Build confidence in making informed decisions about AI use Synthesize course learnings into a personalized Unessay project This course isn't about condemning or celebrating AI. The course title "AI Frenemy" aims to focus on the uncertainty present around these tools, and our course helps us develop the awareness and agency to make informed choices about when, if, and how to use these tools, which are transferable to any emerging technology you encounter in college and beyond.

This course introduces psychological approaches for improving health and well-being. Topics covered in the class will include, for example, inadequate sleep, health risk behaviors, stress and health and positive psychology.

The objective of this course (ADM) is (1) to have a good understanding of the literature of development microeconomics, and (2) to develop a good research idea and design. The course is for students seeking a research career and developing their research project. The course mainly discusses empirical papers on selected topics. Both experimental and quasi-experimental studies are covered. Students write referee reports, conduct a replication project, and develop a proposal for their empirical research. This lecture course is offered in English. All written assignments must be written in English (no exceptions).

This course covers various concepts essential for technology management at an advanced level. The topics include stages of innovation, startups, dynamic capabilities, modularity and architecture, absorptive capacity of firms, and national innovation systems.

The purpose of this course is to help students improve their academic presentation skills in English, with a focus on clearly and confidently presenting their own research at international conferences. Through an initial lecture and a series of small-group practice sessions, students will learn techniques for effective presentation delivery, audience engagement, and visual design.

By the end of this course, students will be able to: •Understand fundamental principles of materials processing. •Analyze and evaluate different material separation and recycling techniques. •Apply principles of material science and chemistry to resource recovery processes
