| Course description |
|
"This course aims to develop minds for knowledge creation and autonomous learning, and is designed as an introductory course for the Liberal Arts and Fundamental Studies. Students will experience different styles of lectures and classes depending on the contents. It consists of two parts. Part I : Common Introductory Program In this program that is common to all first-year students, students will learn about our university and think how they would pursue their academic life here. The university history and TUAT principals are described as well as our research activities, with the aim of encouraging students to engage in university study and to understanding the importance of designing their individual university life. Part II : Faculty-Specific Program With the progresses of molecular biology and biochemistry, biotechnology is developing dramatically. Whereas we have been utilizing biotechnologies in many medical, pharmaceutical, and agricultural fields, some have points out many issues relating to bioethics and natural environments such as cloning and gene engineering techniques. In this class, each attendee will decide a theme of interest, look into the background, merits and demerits to our society, and finally give a presentation with PowerPoint. |
| Expected Learning |
|
"1) To understand the autonomous learning in the University, and be able to design individual's academic life at University from broad perspectives. 2) Think about the mechanistic basis of natural phenomena Competency Development： Initiative and Autonomy, Leadership and Facilitation, Knowledge Creation, Presentation Skills, Mission-Oriented Research and Problem Solving, Academic Ethics" |

(lecture 3) Novel Coronavirus Infection: A challenge from 未来疫学(R) (Mirai Ekigaku, literally Future Pathology). 5. Research ethics Code of conduct for research integrity, and scientific misconducts. Falsification, fabrication, and plagiarism are discussed. Part II : Faculty-Specific Program 6-15. Seminar theme: Plant evolution through bioactive substances - from fossil plants to mosses and flowering plants (Hiroshi Kawade) Welcome to the Basic Agricultural Science Seminar, Kawade's Classroom! In this seminar, we will be studying the topic 'Plant evolution from bioactive substances - from fossil plants to mosses and flowering plants'. What are bioactive substances? What are some of the things called fossil plants? What is the difference between mosses and flowering plants, even though they are members of the same plant family? There are many questions, many things you don't know and many things you would like to know, even within the short words of the title. The essence of 'research' is the activity of finding out not only what we don't know, but also what nobody else in the world knows. So how do we learn in the absence of textbooks? University is not an extension of high school, so let's enjoy the seminar, including how you will learn as a first-year university student, not a fourth-year high school student.
