In this lecture you will learn about the fundamental ideas of thermodynamics in an understandable and fun way. If you are going to study natural sciences, especially physics or chemistry, you will come across these ideas again and again. Chemical reactions in nature, industrial processes, and of course all processes in your daily life are dependent on energy. As it turns out, energy comes in many different forms, and its flow and transformation follows fundamental laws, which we want to study in this course.

Students will gain the following form this lecture:
- Interest and fun to learn more about how things work in daily life and technical processes.
- An intuitive understanding of thermodynamic laws, which is fundamental to further studies of physics and chemistry.
- The ability to understand scientific terminologies and express their own ideas of natural sciences in English.

The course will cover the following topics in a total of 15 lectures / weeks (not including the final examination). The course schedule is subject to change depending on the student's understanding.
1) The big picture: Introduction to thermodynamic systems and their states. (2 weeks)
We learn how processes in nature are controlled by a few simple properties, like pressure, temperature and volume.
2) Everything in balance: Equilibrium thermodynamics. (2 weeks)

Comparative cognition offers a ride through the mental capacities of animals as simple as the humble bumblebee and as complex as our own closest relative, the chimpanzee. In our quest to understand the origins of the human mind, we cannot forget that like all organisms on earth, we are but a small part of the great evolutionary tree of life. In this course, students learn about animal cognition through the lens of behavior, ecology and evolution. Students learn about how and why animals use cognition to help them navigate their physical and social worlds, and how and why they learn and remember things about their environments. The course has a strong emphasis on evolutionary theory, as well as the cognitive experiments that have allowed scientists to discover what we now know today about the animal mind.

In this course, students will learn to:
- apply the scientific method to questions about cognition and behavior
- distinguish between evidence-based statements about what animals are thinking and anthropomorphic descriptions
- appreciate that human cognition is the product of a long evolutionary process, just as it is in all other species
- understand that cognition has both general (connected) and modular components that help animals solve the problems that are important to them

This course will be conducted in 5 parts, as described below. In principle, each topic within each part reflects one class, but the order and spacing of topics may be moved depending on the flow of the course or the occurrence of specific events related to the course material.

Part 1 - the science of comparative cognition
1. introducing cognition, evolution and behavior
2. the comparative method and the evolution of the animal brain
3. evolutionary and ecological pressures driving cognition

Part 2 - basic cognitive processes
4. sensing, perceiving and attending to the world
5-6. connecting the dots through learning & memory

Part 3 - finding our way in the physical world
7. spatial cognition
8. telling time & counting
9. foraging, planning & using tools

Part 4 - finding our way in the social world
11. communication & language
12. social cognition and social competence
13. social learning and animal culture

Part 5 - putting it all together
14. understanding ourselves, Darwin’s ‘degree not kind’, ethics of cognitive knowledge

*Note that this course is conducted using the flipped learning format, where students watch video lectures on demand (YouTube) before each class session, and then use class time to dive deeper into the course material. Be prepared to use class time for discussion, Q&A, and other content-related activities.

**Note that there will be a midterm examination held during the 7th or 8th week of class, depending on course progress and suitability, as well as the final exam at the end. Details will be announced well in advance during class and via PandA/KULASIS.

There are no office hours for this course, but the instructor is always open to communicating digitally in whatever medium works best; email, online meetings, the chat room or discussion forums in PandA, etc. In addition, appointments may be made before/after class if needed.

This class will provide a basic introduction to molecular and cell biology, in English. The class is open to 1st and 2nd year students, and will assume some prior familiarity with elementary chemistry and biology, although students from other majors are welcome to attend. The objective for the class is to introduce students to core concepts in biology, the scientific study of living organisms. We will pay attention to some of the similarities in different organisms as well as some of the obvious differences, not only between organisms but between cell types, and at the molecular level of protein functions.

Students will gain familiarity with the fundamentals of biology, starting with the most basic concepts, considering the chemistry of carbon and water, and the energy processes and the macromolecules that define life.
Students will then begin to learn about the cell, and how cellular function depends on complex interactions between proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, and carbohydrates, acting alone, in complexes, or in larger structures such as organelles. Students should begin to appreciate how fundamental processes are conserved over evolutionary time, and also how they vary in different species: the unity and diversity of life.

This class is open to all 1st and 2nd year science students, but it requires some basic (high school-level) knowledge of chemistry and biology.

Lectures will encourage student participation. There will be in-class quizzes and then a final exam to assess comprehension of the concepts of basic biology taught in this course. Evaluation: attendance and student participation: 20%; quizzes: 30%; final exam: 50%.

Students may need 2-3 hours per week to review the lecture material and look up any background information as necessary. Some students may know the subject already, but need to learn the English vocabulary; others may need to learn both Biology and English.

In principle, anytime. Please contact the instructor by e-mail if you have any questions. For consultations about course-related matters outside class hours, please make an appointment directly or by e-mail.

Academic writing & listening

For the development of students' skills in English for General Academic Purposes (EGAP), English Writing-Listening A (EWLA) consists of three components: writing, listening, and vocabulary.

For practice with writing, students identify, recognize, or understand basic elements of academic writing and, then, recall and apply this knowledge in the process of organizing and revising a short academic essay of at least 300 words. Under the guidance of the instructor they learn necessary foundational academic writing skills as stated in the Course Goal section below.

For practice with listening, students take the online course known as GORILLA (Global Online Resources for International Language Learning Assistance) outside class. They are assessed on their listening proficiency through weekly online assignments, as well as the four tests that the instructor administers in class.

For vocabulary learning, students use the standard reference book titled “Kyoto University Vocabulary Database 1110.” Like the listening component, students independently study words from the general academic list that the instructor assigns (usually 50 words a week) and are tested on a number of these words weekly.

By the end of this course, students will acquire the following skills at varying levels. Students should be able to:
- Recognize and use basic academic words in English
- Process general academic discourse presented aurally
- Identify the locations, functions, and features of the standard elements of essay introduction paragraphs (i.e., hook, topic statements, general statements and thesis statement) and apply this knowledge to write suitable introduction paragraphs for short academic essays
- Identify the locations, functions, and features of the standard elements of body paragraphs (i.e., topic sentence, supporting sentences, detail sentences, concluding sentence) and apply this knowledge to write suitable body paragraphs for short academic essays
- Identify the locations, functions, and features of the standard elements of conclusion paragraphs (i.e., summary of main points, final statement) and apply this knowledge to write suitable conclusion paragraphs for short academic essays
- Recognize basic methods of maintaining the unity (e.g., definitions) and coherence (e.g., transitional words) of ideas in short academic essays, and apply this knowledge to writing.
- Recall and apply basic conventions (e.g., punctuation) when formatting short academic essays
- Understand basic paraphrasing techniques (e.g., using synonyms, changing structure) to integrate information from external sources, recognize basic citation conventions, and utilize this knowledge to avoid plagiarism
- Understand the writing process and utilize it for drafting and editing to produce short academic essays
- Combine knowledge of (i) the structure of a short academic essay, with allowances made for rhetorical style such as problem-solution and argumentation, and (ii) the writing process, and apply this knowledge to produce a short academic essay of at least 300 words

In-class activities are related to the contents of the textbook. Though there may be some adjustments in certain cases, the schedule of this course is as follows:

Chapter 1 Introduction to Academic Writing
Chapter 2 Paragraphs & Topic Sentences
Chapter 3 Supporting Sentences
Chapter 4 Paragraph Writing
Chapter 5 Writing Process
Chapter 6 Introduction Paragraph
Chapter 7 Conclusion Paragraph
Chapter 8 Citations & Paraphrase
Chapter 9 Essay Structure
Chapter 10 Essay Outline
Chapter 11 Definitions, Opinions, Facts, & Format
Chapter 12 Peer Review
