The Hodge theory is a tool for analysing the cohomology of a smooth manifold using partial differential equations.
One of the most important consequences of the Hodge theory is that there exists a unique harmonic form in eachde Rham cohomology class. This course provides an overview of the theory including a proof of the Hodge
decomposition theorem.
The basis of the analysis on smooth Riemannian manifolds.

The plan of this course is the following:
1 -- 2 A quick review of the theory of manifolds and the de Rham cohomology
3 Hodge star operation and Laplace operator
4 An overview of the Hodge decomposition theorem
5 the machinery necessary for the proofs of the main theorem
6 Sobolev space
7 Rellich theorem
8 Sobolev embedding
9 Elliptic operators
10 Poincaré inequality
11 A reduction to the case of bounded domains in the Euclidean space
12 A proof of the main theorem
13 Levi-Civita connection
14 Bochner's technique
15 A vanishing of the cohomology
The session time is limited and therefore self-directed learning is important. Students are required to prepare andreview for each class.

Hiroaki Kadowaki(1) Course policies
and topics

In all fields of experimental research in physics, quantitative data analysis is performed after obtaining
experimental data. The universally used method for the data analysis is the least-squares method, which isincorporated as a black box in commercially available (or free) curve-fitting packages and analysis packages
developed in various research fields. This class aims to understand the fundamentals of the least-squares
method and to improve its application.
(2) Knowledge/skills Although the least-squares method can often be used as a black box to obtain sufficient results without being
to be acquired andaware of the methodology, when it comes to difficult experimental data analysis, one may modify software to use
learning
the least-squares method by oneself. In this class, students will understand the principles of nonlinear least
objectives/course
squares using the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm, which is currently in common use, and learn the basics of
goals
using the least squares method by doing exercises using programming.
(3) Course schedule, Starting from the simple least squares method learned in undergraduate student experiments, the course will
subject matter,
explain the solution method and algorithm of linear least squares as applied mathematics, and the numericaland classroom
solution method of nonlinear least squares using the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm, which is an extension ofactivities
the simple least squares method. The course will also explain the concept of error in experimental data and thegeneral theory of applying test methods in statistics to data analysis using the least squares method. Based on
this basic knowledge, exercises on linear least squares and nonlinear least squares will be conducted using the
program.

The subject of condensed matter physics is an aggregate of atoms, whose various structures (crystal, glass,liquid, etc.) give rise to a wide variety of physical properties. In order to investigate the microscopic structure ofmaterials, scattering and diffraction experiments are used, which employ wavelengths (neutron beams and Xrays) with wavelengths comparable to the interatomic distance. As an application of the previous lecture " Solid
State Physics with Particle Beam", which explained the basics of neutron scattering experiments, this lecture
focuses on how neutron scattering experiments have been used in the past and recent studies of physicalproperties to obtain microscopic information on materials.
The ability to read and understand the latest research papers will be developed.

Some past and recent research papers using neutron scattering experiments will be given during the lecture. The
students will be assigned to read and understand those research papers by themselves.
1st: Deciphering and explaining Kubo's formula.
2nd: Deciphering and explanation of the papers on response functions of neutron scattering.
3rd: Deciphering and explanation of the papers on phonon measurement experiments.
4th: Deciphering and explanation of the paper on the analysis of phonon experiments using density functional
theory.
5th: Deciphering and explanation of papers on experimental studies of quantum spin liquid states.
6th: Deciphering and explanation of papers on theoretical studies of quantum spin liquid states.
7th: Deciphering and explanation of papers on the principle of the MF-RPA method and the analysis ofexperimental data using the method.
Methods: Mostly by lectures.
After each class, review using references and materials.
Reference books, references, and materials will be introduced during the lecture as appropriate.

In this course, we provide an advanced lecture about “molecular electronic structure theory”, one of the
topics in “quantum chemistry”. Particularly, we focused on the practical methods to compute electronic
structures (such that energy, geometry, and properties of molecules). In recent years, it is able to predict thephysical properties with the extremely high accuracy. On the other hand, it is also applied for large molecularsystems such as proteins and nano-materials, with an appropriate approximation. We will overview thesestate of the art methods and their applications, too.
Students will learn advanced and practical knowledge about quantum chemistry and computational
chemistry which can be applied for own research topics. Students will learn the recent reseach results in thelecture to caltivate own skills which help to understand computational results and discussions in academic
articles and to apply them for research.
Course schedule is provided as follows.
[01] Derivation of HF energy (N. Nakatani)[02] Derivation of CI energy (N. Nakatani)[03] Exercise using Excel 1 (N. Nakatani)[04] Derivation of MP2 energy (N. Nakatani)[05] Exercise using Excel 2 (N.

Biological Sciences(General courses for Graduate School of Science and Graduate School of
Science and Engineering)Notes on course enrollment
1. Biological Sciences offers the following courses:- Advanced Experimental Techniques in Biological Sciences (2 units)- Seminar in Biological Sciences (2 units)- Special Course in Biological Sciences (1 or 2 units)- Advanced Lecture on Biological Sciences (2 units)- Special Lecture on Biological Sciences (1 unit)- Special Seminar in Biological Sciences (1 unit)- Special Experiment in Biological Sciences (1 unit)- Special Practice in Biological Sciences (2 units)- Practice in Biological Sciences (Radioisotope Techniques; 1 unit)- Internship in Biological Sciences (1 or 2 units)
2. Advanced Experimental Techniques in Biological Sciences and Seminar in Biological Sciences will be offered
at respective research laboratories. For the following courses, the subject matter and lecture format consider
graduate students of other majors.
- Special Course in Biological Sciences- Advanced Lecture on Biological Sciences- Special Lecture on Biological Sciences- Special Seminar in Biological Sciences- Special Experiment in Biological Sciences- Special Practice in Biological Sciences- Practice in Biological Sciences (Radioisotope Techniques) Advanced Lecture courses focus on the basic
subject matter at the master's level in each field. Special Lecture courses provide the more specialized andadvanced subject matter in each field. Special Practice courses are offered when there is a particular need.
3. In general, classes start on schedule. However, Advanced Experimental Techniques in Biological Sciences
courses may be held on an irregular schedule based on the research topic. If a student spends a large amount oftime on activities at off-campus research institutions and field research, the student may be allowed to complete
the course by submitting home assignments and reports. The same can be applied to graduate students who
work full time and have a hard time attending classes. Students who require such arrangements should consult
the graduate/doctoral advisor and the course instructor in advance.
4. Graduate students' off-campus learning activities may be approved as completing the Special Experiment in
Biological Sciences (Experimental Techniques) or Internship in Biological Sciences course after the review of
the Academic Affairs Committee based on the student or graduate/doctoral advisor's request.
5. Registration is required for all courses. Students may retake the same course (lecture, practice, experiment, or
seminar that has the same name) more than once if respective courses provide different subject matter. The
credit hours of both courses will be added.
6. Some of the special lectures on Biological Sciences require the recommendation of the graduate/doctoral
advisor and the approval of the Academic Affairs Committee of the department. It is recommended that students
select the course carefully, considering the specialized field of each student. Read the syllabus of each course
carefully.
7. Note that some credits may be transferred from Ochanomizu University.
8. It is strongly recommended that students take at least one of the following courses:- Biology Course in Planning and Management- Biology Course in International Research Experiences- Biology Course in Research Evaluation-118-

(Master's program)
1. In order to complete the master's program, a total of 30 or more credits are required. Of these credits, 20 ormore credits must be earned in courses other than Seminar in Biological Sciences or Advanced Experimental
Techniques in Biological Sciences offered by the research laboratory where the student belongs.
2. Upon approval of the Academic Affairs Committee of the department, up to 10 credits from graduate courses
outside of Biological Sciences can be considered as credits earned in courses other than Seminar in Biological
Sciences or Advanced Experimental Techniques in Biological Sciences offered by the research laboratory where
the student belongs mentioned above. Also, upon approval of the graduate advisor and the Academic Affairs
Committee of the department, up to 10 credits from undergraduate courses can be considered as credits earnedin courses other than Seminar in Biological Sciences or Advanced Experimental Techniques in Biological
Sciences offered by the research laboratory where the student belongs mentioned above. However, a total of up
to 10 credits are allowed from non-major courses and courses other than Seminar in Biological Sciences orAdvanced Experimental Techniques in Biological Sciences offered by the research laboratory where the student
belongs.
3. In principle, for Seminar in Biological Sciences and Advanced Experimental Techniques in Biological Sciences,
students shall take only the courses offered in the research laboratory where the student is assigned. We
encourage students to take four or more advanced courses as well as the Special Seminar in Biological Sciences.
4. Since students will need to spend time working on the master's thesis in the second year, we encourage students
to earn about two-thirds of the required credits in the first year.
(Doctoral program)
1. In order to complete the doctoral program, a total of 20 or more credits from doctoral courses are required. We
encourage students to earn eight or more credits from courses other than Seminar in Biological Sciences orAdvanced Experimental Techniques in Biological Sciences offered by the research laboratory where the student
belongs.
2. Students are not allowed to retake the same course that was taken in the master's program.
3. In principle, for Seminar in Biological Sciences and Advanced Experimental Techniques in Biological Sciences,
students shall take only the courses offered in the research laboratory where the student is assigned as well as
the Special Seminar in Biological Sciences.

goals(3) Course schedule,
subject matter,and classroom
activities

Much of the current research in biochemistry and molecular cell biology is based on the findings of past
researchers. Learning the process will be useful not only in advancing current graduate research topics but alsoin broadly understanding problem setting and how to solve them. Students will not only increase their knowledge,
but will also learn from past successes in a way that can be used for future research.

(4) Outside-classactivities andassignments(5) Textbooks andcourse materials[1st half]
The objective of this research is to select several original papers that reported epoch-making discoveries inbiochemistry and molecular cell biology, and to approach the contents of these papers in the form of a paper
lecture. I would like to present a wide range of papers covering molecular biology, cell biology, and biochemistry,from classical papers (such as biosynthesis of membrane proteins) to recent papers (such as Professor
Yamanaka's iPS cells). A discussion leader was appointed for each lecture, and the leader explained thebackground, presentation of data, and consideration of each paper. At the same time, with all participants, 1)
What was the author's perspective on starting the study? 2) What were the problems to be solved? 3) How did
the author approach the problem? deepen discussions on. Each discussion leader must prepare a presentation.
All participants are also asked to prepare for the paper. For this purpose, at the time of the first lecture, an extra
copy of the target paper (approximately 7 papers) is distributed to all students, and at the time of the second
lecture, a discussion leader corresponding to each paper is determined.
[2nd half]
You will introduce and discuss papers on the developmental phenomena of organisms, tissues, and cells that arecovered in your research topics.
Preparation and review of the research papers are required.

[1st half]
Copies of important papers describing landmark discoveries in biochemistry and molecular cell biology, many ofwhich were Nobel Prize-winning studies, will be distributed in advance. Relevant documentation should also be
distributed as appropriate.
[2nd half]
The paper is distributed.
(6) Assessment and Students are given a comprehensive evaluation of their attitudes toward teaching, mini-reports, and reports. The
grading
performance evaluation of this subject will be based on attendance, achievement of literature introduction, andquestions and answers. We particularly value their active participation in the exercise.
(7) Questions to the Questions are answered as needed after adjusting the schedule by mail.

Eguchi)Southeast Asia is considered the most species-diverse region in the world. In many animal groups, however, thespeciation is poorly understood. There is also a lack of knowledge about the geographical genetic structure andorigin of individual species and lineages. This lecture presents recent research on species classification andphylogeography of terrestrial invertebrates in Southeast Asia.
(MURAKAMI)
Many species of ferns have stopped sexual reproduction and have become asexual, called apogamy. And,
though it is difficult to distinguish by the form. The presence of many hidden species with distinct reproductive
isolation is also characteristic of ferns. This paper outlines our research on apogamous and hidden species offern plants, and discusses it with students.
To deepen understanding of research by reading short papers and expressing opinions on research directions
and issues. It is necessary to make a small report on the main points and impressions of the lecture at home.
The lecture proceeds mainly on the handout, and references and papers, etc. are introduced as appropriate.

Research Evaluation Exercise 1 - Evaluating Research Proposals and Applications through critical reading ofmultiple applications and reports written by others, students learn how to formulate better research plans andapplications. Students will also learn from the exercise how to critique logically and how to communicate such
critiques.
Through this exercise, students will cultivate their ability to learn spontaneously, think logically, and communicate
effectively.

Using a research plan report, research report, or application form for a JSPS Postdoctoral Fellowship, students
will prepare a research plan for their future tenure, present their plan, and mutually critique it. Afterwards, thestudents revise their applications, serve as referees for each other, and evaluate the applications of others.
Furthermore, they will explain the results of their evaluation to the applicant along with the reasons for theevaluation. The results of the mutual evaluation are tabulated, discussed among the evaluators, and theapplications are ranked. In some groups (see below), applications that are evaluated as meeting certain criteria
will be granted travel expenses for research presentations after review and examination by the faculty. If you wish
to receive a research travel grant, you must participate in all of the group's exercises. If you are going to beabsent due to unavoidable circumstances, please contact Mr. Suzuki (associate) in advance.
The format of the exercises may be subject to change depending on the status of the covid-19 epidemic.
Furthermore, if the conference is held online, travel expenses will not be reimbursed.
Each group will be required to prepare and revise a research plan report, a research report, or an application fora JSPS Postdoctoral Fellowship as out-of-class learning. Therefore, at least 1.5 hours of preparation(preparation) and review (revision) are required.
『理科系の作文技術』木下是雄（1981)中央公論新社（中公新書 (624)）を事前に一読することを強く勧める。

objectives/coursegoals

In graduate studies, it is necessary to learn from many examples of cutting-edge research how the research was
carried out. In addition, they need to learn about the cutting-edge knowledge, methods, and techniques containedin life science research in a variety of fields that cannot be obtained from textbooks, as well as the questions thatneed to be answered in the life sciences in the future. The goal is to learn the state-of-the-art in various fields
through direct contact with and questioning of a large number of studies in order to master the expertise of the life
sciences.

Instructor(s)NoteAdam CroninThis course is a common course with the undergraduate program.

(1) Course policies
and topics

Many organisms live together in groups, and group-living conveys a wide range of benefits. Coordination ofactions in group-living organisms represents a complex challenge, yet group-living species manage to achieve
remarkable tasks, such as building complex structures, coordinated movements over long distances, andadvanced decision making. Explaining how this is achieved is the focus of complex systems biology.
(2) Knowledge/skills In this course we will explore how individuals in groups can coordinate activities to produce outcomes far
to be acquired andexceeding that which any individual could do alone. In many cases these tasks are achieved with no distinct
learning
leadership or top-down control, but via interactions at the local level, which produce emergent phenomena at theobjectives/course
level of the group. Studies of collective behaviour are important for understanding diverse phenomena such as
goals
movements of human crowds, telecommunication networks, and the development of artificial swarm intelligence.

Instructor(s)NoteAdam WeitemierThis course is a common course with the undergraduate program.

A majority of scientific communication is done through writing, much of which is in the form of scientificpublications. Since English is the language used by most scientific journals, it is essential to be able to effectively
read and navigate through English scientific publications. It is also essential to be able to write about scientificinformation in a style that is understandable and acceptable for English language scientific journals.
In this course, students will interact with scientific writing by observing the structure of scientific papers, analyzing
English scientific writing styles, and generating writing samples. This course focuses primarily on the common
IMRaD (Introduction Methods Results-and-analysis Discussion) structure of scientific reports.
The aims of this one-term course are to 1) improve students’ ability and confidence in effectively navigating
among the sections of an English language scientific report and 2) to familiarize students with English scientificwriting styles from the perspectives of reading and writing.
TENTATIVE COURSE OUTLINE:
1. Experimental Design and Paper Structure; References
2. Reading Practice
3. Introduction Section
4. Methods Section
5. Results Section
6. Discussion Section I

Special lecture in Neurobiology
Category: Specialized Subjects Credit : 1
Instructor: Adam Weitemier
Subtitle: Neurobiology of the locus coeruleus norepinephrine system[Course Description]
The locus coeruleus (the “blue spot”) is a small nucleus on either side of the vertebrate hindbrain. Its primaryneurotransmitter is norepinephrine (NE). Through extensive neuronal projections, NE output from the locus
coeruleus influences fundamental bodily functions, emotional responses, and cognition. Although the locus
coeruleus NE system is the longest and most well-studied neuronal system, current research continues to makenew discoveries about its role in brain function and behavior.
This course will take a student-interactive approach to explore fundamental and current knowledge about thelocus coeruleus NE system. We will consider current topics and future questions through the lens of recent
studies that are conducted from different biological perspectives.
[Objectives]
Students taking this course will gain an understanding and perspective on the importance of NE (and related
systems) in physiology and behavior. They will be able to use the knowledge that they gain in this course to guide
future learning about the diversity of brain function.

Mutation is the ultimate source of evolution. Therefore, it is important to understand the molecular and genetic
bases of evolution. In this lecture, Nozawa introduces his research topic, "Evolution of Sex Chromosomes," tostudents. Students are expected to understand how evolution has occurred at the molecular level in the long run,
how researchers have set up their problems, and how they have overcome difficulties during the way of theirresearch.
Second half: Noriaki Murakami
While the species and speciation patterns in land plants share some similarities with animals such as Drosophila,
they are also different and unique in some respects. Understanding the evolution of reproductive isolation in land
plants, sympatric ecological speciation, and speciation through interspecific hybridization and doubling genomes
is the goal of the second part of this lecture.

Course Description & Goals: The ecology and general biology of the marine biota.
Stresses life histories and trophic relationships, adaptations for marine life, and limitations imposed by marine
environments.
Notes on this TMU edition of Lord’s Marine Biology Class: This is a class that I taught for the first time in 2013. I
am still refining course content. This TMU edition of the class demands greater focus and conciseness. Some ofwhat I envision as I write this syllabus will be more or less difficult than I envision it will be. Almost certainly, someassignments will not take place as scheduled. What I have presented here is my best estimate for the class. Be
patient as we navigate through Marine Biology. HELP ME MAKE THIS CLASS BETTER FOR FELLOWSCHOLARS AND FOR STUDENTS WHO FOLLOW. Provide me input on how to make this class more valuable.

Final Exam (Openbook)Attendance Policy: You are responsible for attending all scheduled class meetings in themode for which you are enrolled. If you have a legitimate excuse for missing a class, you arestill responsible for the material covered. If you are absent for an exam due to illness, family
trauma, or college athletic meets, you must contact me within 24 hours by email or telephone to receive theoption of a make-up exam. In evaluating classroom responses, I excuse you for two classes assuming that you
will, occasionally, have competing priorities. Additional days of incorrect classroom question grades or
nonparticipation will result in a lower class participationgrade.
Breaking News: I will share with you current news stories that relate to our knowledge ofthe oceans and man’s use of its resources. These news stories will be addressed in exams and quizzes. The
level of question detail will typically be minimal, but, if we invest more than a minute or two in class discussing thestory, the questions may become more detailed. You can earn extra credit on quizzes by being the first to show
me a news story worthy of the class’ attention.
(4) Outside-class
Readings & Review: Textbook chapters should be reviewed before lectures to orient you
activities andto the type and scope of lecture material. Please feel free to read ahead and reread chaptersassignments
previously covered. I am excited by this textbook and will follow the book closely. When I varyfrom assigned readings, class notes will be cross referenced with the page numbers from the
textbook (or outside readings). After lectures, use your textbook to clarify any noted material
that is not clear. Following the lecture, examine the photographs, illustrations, and graphs
in the textbook and read their captions carefully. These are key to understanding material I
will address in exams. If you have uncertainties concerning material covered in the readings or
the lectures, I implore you to talk with me to address these questions or to identify problems that may arise as we
progress through the semester. As each topic builds on those that precede it, do not wait to see me to have yourquestions answered.

Prerequisites: College level course completion in Biology or Oceanography.
No-Lab Course Labs: This class has frustrated prior scholars and me because we have nolab time in which to delve into the details of the material presented in lecture. To partially offset
this, I will scour local seafood establishments for algae, various invertebrates, fish heads, andother materials relating to the course. Some of this material we will eat. Some of it wewill
examine and dissect. Sometimes, we will do both. Eating with Lord is not a requirement, but
you should, at a minimum, use your senses, other than taste, to carefully examine what will bepassed around the classroom. (I will provide paper towels.) You should expect quiz and examquestions on these materials.

Course Title: Introduction to Plants Systematics and Taxonomy
Instructor: Diego Tavares Vasques
Dates: TBA. Please email Dr. Kanae Ando (k_ando@tmu.ac.jp) for more information.
Course Objectives/Overview
Evolution is an intriguing phenomenon that rules all biological events. The mechanisms controlling evolution are
many in nature and can be studied under different levels of complexity. In this course, theories of evolutionary
genetics (such as natural selection, adaptation, speciation, and others) will be explored in the context of theevolutionary history of plants. Together, we will explore how changes in the life cycle have influenced theselective pressure plants have been exposed to, how adaptations on nutrition and body structure have emerged
through time and how the reproduction of these eukaryotic organisms has had a deep influence on population
genetics.
(2) Knowledge/skills By taking this course, you will not only learn basic key-concepts of evolution and plants diversity (important toto be acquired andunderstanding many other subfields in Biology) but also step-up your baggage knowledge, connecting it tolearning
practice experiences in this field.

Teaching Methods
Unit 1 focus on learning of basic concepts, such as natural selection, adaptation, plant taxonomy andsystematics. Students will learn what are phylogenetic trees and how plants diversity is organized in taxonomic
categories. At the end of the class, students will be divided in groups, and each group will be assigned with aland plant family for research. Following this unity, we will have a practice class on how to use data frominternational databases for morphometric analysis ofplants. On the Unit 2, students will be introduced to the diversity of mosses and ferns, while discussing changes
in the life history of land plants and while learning how to describe sterile structures (i.e., leaves and stem) in the
body of these plants. Unit 2 will be followed on a practice on reading and drawing of phylogenetic trees. The lasttwo periods will be dedicated for short oral presentations on the taxonomy and systematics of the taxonomicalfamily groups were assigned to.

Ben Wallen *This course is a common course with the undergraduate program.

Course Title ‒ Hearing
Instructor: Dr. Ben Warren
University of Leicester, Leicestershire, UK[Course Description]
Our ability to enjoy music, converse with friends and interact with our environment depend on the function on
delicate structures within our ears. The ears of humans and wider mammals is, however, based on a singularlyevolved ear design ‒ the cochlea. Insects provide a wealth of starkly different ear designs, which have evolved
on many different body parts. This intensive two-day course will understand auditory transduction by using a wide
variety of ear types, across animal phyla. This comparative approach to understand hearing is particularly
insightful and fascinating and brings a broad but deep appreciation of how animals hear. You will learn how ears
operate from the mechanical elements that capture sound energy to the microscopic cells responsible toconverting vibrations into electrical signals that we eventually interpret as sound. On Day 1 we will revise physicalproperties of sound before learning the basic operation of ears both in mammals and insects. On Day 2 we delve
into theproperties arising from sensitive ears such as: phantom oscillations and echoes (so-called otoacoustic
emissions), negative stiffness and the cochlear amplifier. We finish by reviewing the arms race between insects
and bats and then how hearing loss effects all biological ears‒ especially our own. This intensive course will use
a combination of live lectures, guided journal clubs and guided independent research. In addition to learning how
auditory transduction operates you will be trained in other transferable skills such as: how to make engaging
presentations, experimental design (power analysis) and how to critically interpret scientific presentations.
You will learn how ears operate from the mechanical elements that capture sound energy to the microscopic cells
responsible to converting vibrations into electrical signals that we eventually interpret as sound.

Day 1 An auditory feature detection circuit for sound pattern recognition,
https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.1500325
Day 2 Physiological changes throughout the ear due to age and noise ‒ a longitudinal study, Blockley et al.,2021, Journal of Neuroscience https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.11.25.470017v1 Methods ofInstruction: This course will consist of 10 lectures, 3 guided journal clubs, 2 interactive sessions on presentation
skills and experimental design. This combination of learning approaches will allow students to test and refine theirknowledge. Course Objectives Upon completion of the course, students are expected to: 1. Understand basic
biophysical principles of sound waves and their reception in ears and how sound waves are converted into
movements of sound receivers and then transduced into electrical signals. 2. To understand the biomechanicalstrategies that ears employ to increase their sensitivity to quiet sound, tune their ears to frequencies of interestand detect the amplitude of sound. 3. Understand the ‘arms race’ between insects and bats and the different
strategies employed between them. 4. Understand the main types and causes of hearing loss and state-of-the-art
research in hearing loss. 5. Understand the scientific process of discovery and to critically interpret scientificfindings. 6. Presentation skills and power analysis. Course Topics 1. Physical principles of sound waves 2.
Vertebrate Hearing 3. Insect Hearing 4. Auditory Receptors in Vertebrates 5. Auditory Receptors in Insects 6.
Active Hearing 7. Hunt for the Mechanotransducer channel 8. Bat vs insects acoustic detection 9. Hearing loss
(Part 1) 10. Hearing loss (Part 2) 11. Spot the mistakes - Presentation skills 12. Experimental design ‒ Power
analysis 13. Summary of Lectures[Basic Requirement of the Course] The course will include literature reading and report. Reading of the textbook
is absolutely required to familiarize the students with the concepts and ideas. Reading of the journal articles isalso required, although this is best nearer the start of the course. Although I am not expecting the students tounderstand all preliminary reading it will make absorbing and understanding the material in the course easier andwill maximize the benefit students will get from the course. There is purposely plenty of active engagement withlive lectures, guided journal clubs and interactive presentations. This type of active learning, using a range ofdifferent techniques and resources, will result in a deep and enjoyable learning experience and will allow thestudents to test their understanding as the course progresses.
Text book and Required Supplies: Required textbook: 1. Textbook: An introduction to the physiology of hearing:
Forth edition, James O. Pickles ISBN: 9004243771. Essential reading, chapters: 1,2,3 and 5 2. Journals(essential reading before the start of the course, or before each day):[Assessment]

General Courses for All Graduate Programs
Master's Program | Doctoral Program<Graduate School Career Courses>
Our Graduate Program offers courses for career development as general courses for master's and doctoral
programs since 2019. Whether students work for private companies, universities

or research institutes, orenroll in a doctoral program after completing the master's program, it is essential to connect the student's
research objectives and future career. This makes the knowledge and skills gained in research activities
meaningful for the student's next step.
Therefore, our program offers career courses for graduate students so that students will have the mindset andskills necessary for career development through these courses.
<Notes>(1) The career courses are open for both master's and doctoral graduate students.
(2) The career courses offer credits, but they are not counted for credits required for completion of the master's
program and doctoral program.
(3) In addition to the career courses offered at the University, students may take career courses at the Graduate
School of Tokyo Institute of Technology, which has a credit transfer agreement with the University. If
interested in taking the courses, the information is available on the university website and the bulletin board
on the first floor of Building 8 at the beginning of each semester.

Instructor(s)Yuji Hayashi, University Education Center- Course registration is accepted at Academic Affairs. If interested in enrolling in the course, students
must attend the first class meeting.

(1) Course policies andtopicsIn this class, we will discuss careers in the private sector for doctoral candidates in science and engineering.

(2) Knowledge/skills tobe acquired andlearning
objectives/course
goals

The purpose of the class is to learn how our seniors who have received their doctoral degrees in science and engineering are working
in a number of private companies based on the skills they have developed in the doctoral program, so that they can have realistic
expectations for their own future without being overly pessimistic or optimistic.

(3) Course schedule,
subject matter,and classroom
activities[Course schedule]
1. Orientation (lecture on data related to job-hunting activities in the doctoral program)
2-5. Lectures by graduates of our doctoral course who are active in the private sector within 5 years of graduation (Four graduates
will give the lectures).
6-7. Discussion based on transcribed recordings of lectures given in previous years
8. Summarize the class (you will be asked to submit an oral report of what you have written in your report on the spot)
Lectures 2 through 7 are in no particular order. The speakers will be replaced according to their availability.
The main topics of the lectures are as follows:
1. Research activities while in school and current work
2. Job hunting activities at first job, if any, and job hunting activities when changing jobs
3. How you are evaluated as a doctoral candidate in science and engineering
4. Are you making use of the knowledge, skills, and abilities you acquired while in school?
5. Differences between what I expected and what actually happened after I joined the company
6. Other things you would like to tell your juniors[Class method] The first and eighth sessions will be lectures by faculty members. Lectures by graduates will be given in the 2nd
through 5th sessions. In the 6th and 7th sessions, transcripts of lectures from previous years will be read and discussed by students.
In some cases, lectures may be given via Zoom depending on the circumstances of the speaker.
The speakers will present a variety of ideas and experiences. There is no superiority or inferiority among them, and there is noright answer. When a speaker comes, please listen carefully to what he or she has to say, and if you have any questions, pleaseask the speaker. When studying from transcripts of past lectures, share your thoughts with the other students and listen to theirthoughts. By doing so, you will be able to think about how to deal with your career, and you will be able to have your own ideas
about your career according to your own circumstances.

(4) Outside-classactivities andassignments

Transcriptions of lectures given in previous years will be distributed to students prior to the class for discussion. Please read thetranscripts before class and organize the points of interest or importance.

(5) Textbooks andcourse materials

None(6) Assessment andgrading

You will be evaluated on your participation in the class and on your report.

(7) Questions to the
instructor (Officehours, etc.)

We ask the speakers to give interactive lectures so that questions to the speakers can be asked well within the time of the lecture.
Questions to the instructor should be asked after class.

(8) Special note
(Courseprerequisites)

Even if you do not register for the course, you are welcome to attend only the lectures given by those who have completed thecourse in your field. Also, post-doctoral fellows who have already completed their degrees and are thinking of moving into theprivate sector may also find it helpful, so please come and join us if you are interested. In either case, no special procedures are
required. Please refer to the bulletin board on campus and come to the classroom on the day of your application.

In your report, please write about any changes in your career-related ideas that you have made as a result of the class and any
reaffirmation of your existing ideas.

When considering one's career based on what one hears from others, it is just as important to have similar personalities, such as
attitudes toward risk, as it is to have similar disciplines between the audience and the speaker. The fields of study are obvious fromthe departments in which the students have completed, but the personalities are not, so it is recommended that students make time
to listen to as many lectures as possible.
[Relevance to other courses] Nothing in particular. Please do your best in your own research.
