This course explores various aspects of media ethics through the study and discussion of recent case studies, helping students build a universal foundation for ethical judgment as they encounter ethical dilemmas as media professionals or consumers. This course aims to help student better understand the ways in which media ethics affects our daily lives. Students develop their presentation and critical thinking skills through class activities such as group discussions. This course aims to engage students in some of the major issues in media ethics. Topics include Advertising Ethics, Public Relations Ethics, Journalism Ethics, Social Media Ethics, and AI and Robot Ethics. 

This course covers the properties and applications of maximum likelihood estimation (MLE), including its consistency, asymptotic normality, and efficiency, and applies these concepts to real-world statistical problems. Students analyze hypothesis testing frameworks, covering the Neyman-Pearson lemma, likelihood ratio tests, and their implementation for single-parameter and multi-parameter models and study the principles of sufficiency and completeness in statistical inference and use the factorization theorem to identify sufficient statistics for various distributions. Students also explore confidence interval construction methods, focusing on pivotal quantities, and evaluate their properties such as coverage probability and efficiency and we apply advanced inferential techniques to solve problems involving exponential families, sequential analysis, and decision-theoretic approaches, linking theory to practice. 

Prerequisites: Mathematical Statistics I, Linear Algebra, Calculus 

This phyiscal activity course covers environmental problems and accidents that may occur during camping and how to prevent them in order to camp safely. Students learn how to deal with emergencies while camping.

This course explores the chemistry and biochemistry of fermentation and microbial metabolism, with a focus on their applications in metabolic engineering and enzymatic conversion. Students examine current trends and industrial examples involving the production of food biomaterials, biofuels, chemicals, and bioplastics through microbial fermentation. Emphasis is placed on both fundamental principles and applied strategies for microbial process development. Students gain a comprehensive understanding of fermentation chemistry and acquire applied knowledge in microbial metabolic engineering for the production of value-added products such as food additives, industrial chemicals, and renewable biofuels. 

Prerequisites: Prior coursework in biochemistry and microbiology is strongly recommended. 

This course covers a basic introduction to education. Students explore what education is and how it differs from lifelong education and learning at home, school, company, and society.  Students learn what kind of discipline pedagogy is and explore it in practical theory. By understanding the essential aspects and functional roles of education, a basic view of education is established.

This course introduces undergraduate students to the labs in the chemistry department. Through the lab visit experience as a small group, students learn the diverse aspects of research in cutting-edge chemistry. Groups will visit 9 labs. Students produce two term-reports and a summary regarding lab visits. 

This physical activity course covers the fundamentals of baseball as a team sport. Students learn catching, throwing, hitting, defense strategy, and offense strategy. Fundamental skills (catching, throwing, hitting form), complex skills (catching and throwing of the hit ball, the skill for each position, hitting a pitched ball), strategy skills (hit and run, bunt and run, tag up play, double play, relay play), and actual games (played with other teams) will be covered. 

This course covers international economics in general, including international trade theory, international trade policy, international finance, and international organizations. This course introduces the economic principles of international trade of goods and capital movement in the global economy. 

Topics include Ricardian trade model, Heckscher-Ohlin trade model, Specific factors model, External economies of scale and trade, Firms in the global economy, Instruments of trade policy, Political economy of trade policy, Exchange and interest rates, Financial globalization and more. 

It is recommended that students take microeconomic theory and macroeconomic theory first before taking this course. 

This interdisciplinary course examines the biological, psychological, social, and cultural dimensions of sleep and circadian rhythms. We will investigate the science behind sleep: its functions, regulation, and role in health, cognition, and emotion.  

In parallel, the course will explore how sleep has been represented in literature, visual art, music, and film. We will consider how artists and thinkers have interpreted dreams, memory, insomnia, and altered states of consciousness, and how these portrayals reflect and inform our evolving understanding of the sleeping mind. 

Topics include What Is Sleep, and Why Does It Matter; The Physiology of Sleep; Circadian Rhythms and Biological Timekeeping; Sleep and the Brain; Dreams: Science and Symbolism; Sleep and Society; Sleep Disorders; Sleep in Art, Music, and Film 

There is no prerequisite for this course; however, a basic understanding of neuroscience, biology, and physiology concepts will be beneficial for students. 

This course examines the economic geography of developing countries through a Marxist theoretical lens, exploring how capitalism creates and maintains global and local inequalities through spatial processes. Students engage with foundational concepts including primitive accumulation, uneven development, world-systems theory, and the new international division of labor to understand how wealth extraction, labor exploitation, and environmental degradation operate across geographic scales. The course traces the historical development of coreperiphery relations from colonialism through contemporary neoliberal globalization, analyzing specific processes such as export processing zones, land grabbing, structural adjustment programs, and resource extraction in the Global South. Through critical examination of topics including urbanization and slums, gendered labor relations, social reproduction, and environmental crisis, students will develop analytical tools, including mapping, to understand how capitalism necessarily produces geographic inequality while also exploring forms of resistance, social movements, and alternative development strategies emerging from the Global South. Using learning circles and collaborative pedagogical approaches that embody democratic and egalitarian principles, the course connects theoretical analysis with contemporary struggles for social and environmental justice, preparing students to critically analyze and engage with questions of global development, spatial inequality, and transformative social change. 

Students will complete syllabus quizzes, mapping exercises using GIS, a midterm exam, and a final research paper.
