| (授業の概要・目的) | Everything that surrounds us is "chemistry", therefore a basic understanding of chemistry is the key to navigate our daily lives. In this course, we will focus on the basic questions: why and how does matter transform? This course will cover the states of matter and their transformations, chemical reactions and their equilibria. The students will also be introduced to one of the most important tools of the modern scientist, the scientific method. Furthermore, each topic will be followed by a brief discussion on its relevance in our everyday lives. This course will embrace a "concept development study" where every chemical concept will be developed from the observation and analysis of experimental results followed by critical reasoning (from observation of the phenomenon to its explanation). The students are encouraged to actively participate in class and re-discover chemistry. |
||||||
| (到達目標) | This course has multiple goals: most importantly, over the course of the semester, the students will gain a basic knowledge of important chemical concepts using the “concept development study” approach, which is designed to foster the students’ critical thinking and creativity. According to this method, each topic is introduced by showing the experiments and sets of data that allowed various scientists to develop the fundamental laws of chemistry. In order to build the foundational knowledge of chemistry, the students will firstly become acquainted with the scientific method and the basic vocabulary of chemistry and will try to apply this method to develop chemistry concepts. The discussion of the scientific method will not only guide the students’ understanding of the most important discoveries and of the main laws of chemistry, but it will also encourage the students to improve their ability to interpret and discern the reliability of the scientific news and information we gather in our everyday lives. This learning objective will be reinforced by group activities and discussions in class. | ||||||
| (授業計画と内容) | This course consists of 14 lectures, exam and one feedback class. 1. What is chemistry? Why is it important? Understanding the basics of the chemical language and the scientific method. (1 week) 2-4. Ideal gases and the kinetic theory of gases (3 weeks) 5-7. Chemical reactions and their equilibria (3 weeks) 8. Review of basic chemical concepts and mid-term exam (1 week) 9. Acid-base equilibrium (1 week) 10. Reaction rates (1 week) 11-14. Phase transitions and their thermodynamic description. State functions and the laws of thermodynamics. (4 weeks) 15. Exam 16. Feedback(1 week) At the end of each lesson, an "everyday chemistry" topic related to the main topic of the lesson will be introduced. Some of these topics are: the chemistry of scuba diving, hypoxia and carbon monoxide poisoning, flowers as natural pH indicators, the atmospheres of the solar system, and the chemistry of food going bad. Guest lecture by Prof. Forte, Erika (Institute for Research in Humanities): "Science of the Song Dynasty" during regular class time. |
||||||
| (履修要件) |
At the beginning of the course, you do not need any specific prior knowledge of the topics of the course. All essential knowledge for the course will be provided as needed in class.
|
||||||
| (成績評価の方法・観点及び達成度) | Evaluation will be based on attendance, active class participation (quizzes and exercises in class, 10%), individual and group assignments ("science in the news" project, 20%), mid-term exam in class (exercises, 30%), and final exam in class (multiple-choice and open questions, 40%). | ||||||

(授業の概要・目的)
Everything that surrounds us is "chemistry", therefore a basic understanding of chemistry is the key to navigate our daily lives. In this course, we will focus on the basic questions: why and how does matter transform?
This course will cover the states of matter and their transformations, chemical reactions and their equilibria. The students will also be introduced to one of the most important tools of the modern scientist, the scientific method. Furthermore, each topic will be followed by a brief discussion on its relevance in our everyday lives. This course will embrace a "concept development study" where every chemical concept will be developed from the observation and analysis of experimental results followed by critical reasoning (from observation of the phenomenon to its explanation). The students are encouraged to actively participate in class and re-discover chemistry. |
|||||||
|
(到達目標)
This course has multiple goals: most importantly, over the course of the semester, the students will gain a basic knowledge of important chemical concepts using the “concept development study” approach, which is designed to foster the students’ critical thinking and creativity. According to this method, each topic is introduced by showing the experiments and sets of data that allowed various scientists to develop the fundamental laws of chemistry. In order to build the foundational knowledge of chemistry, the students will firstly become acquainted with the scientific method and the basic vocabulary of chemistry and will try to apply this method to develop chemistry concepts. The discussion of the scientific method will not only guide the students’ understanding of the most important discoveries and of the main laws of chemistry, but it will also encourage the students to improve their ability to interpret and discern the reliability of the scientific news and information we gather in our everyday lives. This learning objective will be reinforced by group activities and discussions in class.

| (授業の概要・目的) | 多数の分子が集合すると、単一の分子のみでは現れない新しい機能や現象(創発)が現れる事がある。これら分子集合体の性質は、化学、生物学の両分野にまたがって多くの研究者の興味を集めてきた。現代の科学において、この解明と制御は、高校時代に学んだ「化学」「生物」「物理」といった教科の垣根を超えて展開されている。 本講義は、専門知識の蓄積を主とする他の基礎科目とは一線を画し、それらを俯瞰して繋ぎ合わせるための「諸科学の鳥瞰図」を提供することを目的とする。 前半は「学術の俯瞰」をテーマとし、「分子が集まったときに、何が起こるか?」という視点から、過去のノーベル賞受賞トピックを切り口に講述する。 Part I(藤田)の化学においては、物質の合成と解析技術の進化について論じ、Part II(鈴木)の生物学においては、生命現象における分子メカニズムについて論ずる。各分野が歴史的にどのように交差し、相互に影響しあって発展してきたかの文脈を理解する。 後半のPart III(樋口)は「社会への展開」をテーマとし、特定のトピックを深く掘り下げる。具体的には、2025年ノーベル化学賞の受賞対象である「多孔性金属錯体(MOF)」を取り上げる。この画期的な材料が発見され、その成果が大学発スタートアップ等を通じて社会課題の解決に応用されていく過程を、知的財産戦略の観点も含めて詳説する。 なお、本講義では一方的な知識伝達に留まらず、授業中に適宜プレゼンテーションやグループワークの機会を設け、講義内容の相互理解を深める。 これらを通じ、基礎科学が社会価値へと変換されるダイナミズムを学び、今後大学で学ぶ専門知を位置づけるための広い視座を養う。 |

| (技能領域) | Academic writing & listening | ||||||
| (授業の概要・目的) | For the continued development of students' skills in English for General Academic Purposes (EGAP), English Writing-Listening B (EWLB) consists of three components: writing, listening, and vocabulary. EWLB aims to advance the skills in EGAP that students learned in EWLA. For practice with writing, students analyze and evaluate basic elements of academic writing they learned in EWLA; they further identify, recognize, or understand more advanced elements; finally, they recall and apply all acquired knowledge in the process of producing an academic report of at least 1,000 words. By writing substantial academic reports more autonomously, students will acquire advanced 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. |
||||||
| (到達目標) | 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 more advanced academic discourse presented aurally - Analyze topics and develop suitable controlling ideas, thesis statements, and outlines for academic reports - Analyze and evaluate the locations, functions, and features of the standard paragraph-level elements of an academic report (i.e., introduction, body, and conclusion paragraphs) and apply the analysis and evaluation when writing academic reports - Analyze and evaluate the locations, functions, and features of the standard sentence-level elements (e.g., thesis statement, topic sentences, support sentences) and apply the analysis and evaluation when writing academic reports - Recognize more advanced methods of maintaining the unity (e.g., repetition of key points) and coherence (e.g., quality of language) of ideas in academic reports, evaluate the unity and coherence of their writing, and apply the analysis and evaluation when writing. - Utilize, with sufficient accuracy, a broad range of citation conventions when formatting academic reports - Understand more advanced paraphrasing techniques to integrate information from external sources (e.g., summarizing, quoting), recognize and use more detailed citation conventions, and utilize this knowledge to avoid plagiarism - Evaluate and integrate supporting evidence and sources to produce an academic report. - Recognize the formatting conventions of an appropriate reference list and apply this knowledge to generate one for an academic report. - Recognize particular styles and conventions within academic writing and adopt them appropriately - Acquire a deeper understanding of the writing process in the production of academic reports after revising drafts with feedback - Combine knowledge of (i) the structure of an academic report, with allowances made for rhetorical style such as argumentation and cause-effect, (ii) the writing process, and (iii) the evaluation and integration of supporting evidence and sources, and apply this knowledge to produce an academic report of at least 1,000 words |
||||||
| (授業計画と内容) | 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 Paragraph Structure Review Chapter 2 Academic Essay Structure & Topic Selection Chapter 3 Thesis Statement & Essay Outline Chapter 4 Body Paragraphs & Transitional Words Chapter 5 Paraphrase, Quotation, Summary, & Citation Chapter 6 Introduction & Conclusion Paragraphs Chapter 7 Proofreading & Revision Chapter 8 Quality of Thought: Evaluating Topics Chapter 9 Quality of Thought: Evaluating Thesis Support Chapter 10 Quality of Content: Evaluating Evidence Chapter 11 Quality of Language: Integrating Evidence Chapter 12 Quality of Language: Academic Style Chapter 13 Quality of Feedback & Revision Chapter 14 Overall Quality Feedback Important: Some instructors may cover more than one chapter in one week for better learning outcomes in the whole semester. Each instructor decides whether or not the class conducts the final examination in the test week. Students should confirm the class policy from their instructors. |
