授業の概要Course Overview

1. Global Liberal Arts (GLA) courses are designed as "Joint Study Course" where Japanese students and international students learn together. Students will explore the "unique characteristics of Japan – including distinctive features, strengths, weaknesses" as well as "global contexts and trends" across various fields. Through the perspective of "Japan in the global context," students will recognize the differences between Japan and the world and collaboratively envision a better future for the world.
2. In addition to theoretical instruction through lectures, GLA courses emphasize collaboration between Japanese and international students through activities such as group work and discussions. The primary language of instruction will be English.
3. This course provides a foundation in economics, focusing on essential topics of microeconomics, macroeconomics, economic development, and global trade, etc. Through real-world case studies and discussions, students will explore the application of economic principles to current events, business strategies, and societal challenges.
4. The course emphasizes critical thinking and practical analysis. By the end, students will understand basic economic principles, analyze economic issues, and appreciate the role of economics in shaping development and business. This course can be a first step for further studies in economics and related fields.

事前・事後学習、時間等Study Required outside Class(Preparation, etc.)

Students are expected to review lecture content promptly after each class to reinforce understanding and address any gaps. Thoroughly engage with the assigned course materials to deepen comprehension of key concepts. Consistent self-study is essential for mastering the subject matter and staying aligned with lecture objectives. Additionally, students should prepare for in-class discussions and flash-talks by researching relevant topics and formulating thoughtful contributions. Active engagement and preparation will enhance learning outcomes and foster meaningful participation in class activities. The estimated time required outside class is approximately 200 minutes.
