Outline (in English)
The UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, or Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) have come to be recognized as common tasks for the human society, which is a manifestation of the severity of various problems we as a species are faced with. In light of this current situation, this course focuses on the concept of "sustainability" so as to provide students with an opportunity to learn about basic scientific aspects of environmental problems and also to learn about relevant social issues in an attempt to provide a view from a wider perspective.
In addition to attending classes, students are expected to review contents of individual lectures, thoroughly read distributed reading materials, and utilize the online learning support system, as needed. Standard amounts of time to be spent for this purpose are two hours each for preparation and review.
Final grade will be determined based on quizzes (40 %), final assignment (40 %), and participation/in-class contribution (20%).

授業の進め方と方法Method(s)(学期の途中で変更になる場合には、別途提示します。 /If the Method(s) is changed, we will announce the details of any changes. )
Although this course deals with various topics from the perspective of "sustainability", the course is divided roughly into two parts. In the first part, students will learn about the basic features of ecosystem and biodiversity, that is to say, the natural world that surrounds us and provides us with essential resources. The second part will focus on environmental and social problems related to agriculture (food production) and use of other natural resources in order to explore our personal involvement in these issues.
The course will be taught mainly in lecture-style classes, however, there will also be opportunities for students to actively participate in class through, for example, group activities and discussions. In addition to in-class interactions, students will utilize the learning assistance system (Hoppii) to express their opinions/reactions and to submit questions regarding the materials presented in each class so as to help the instructor to grasp students' progress as well as to address their concerns, as needed. Note that the classes will be given in the face-to-face format; however, classes will be held in the online format via Zoom in the following cases: 1) First class (in order to assess the number of students); 2) University decides to shift to the online format (to cope with, for example, a change in the COVID situation); and 3) In-class activities requires the online format (in order to, for example, minimize the COVID infection risk). Also note that students who are unable to attend classes in the face-to-face format due to such problems as health issues and issues associated with entering Japan may attend the classes in the online format with permission of the university/instructor.

成績評価の方法と基準Grading criteria
Student performance will be graded based on quizzes (40 %), a final assignment (40 %), and participation/in-class contribution (20%). Quizzes will be used to evaluate understanding of course materials (Course objectives 1 and 2). The final assignment will be an opportunity for students to demonstrate their understanding of the course material by presenting their personal analysis/opinion about the current state of human society (Course objective 3). Participation will be used to evaluate student performance in each class and in-class activities.
