SCI403 - Introduction to Fundamentalsin Science
This class to include the first human inhabitants of the Japanese Archipelago, the various periods that followed which included Kofun, Asuka, Nara, Heian and all the way to Feudal Japan (1185 to 1600). This would be followed by Early Modern Japan (1600 to 1868). Then Modern Japan from this period to 1912. After this period we would cover Imperial Japan, invasion of Asia, and WWII.

Course Content
This course will serve as an introduction to what science is and how we interact with it in our daily lives. Over the period of the course, students will learn fundamental principles of and interactions between the subjects of biology, chemistry, and physics. In the aspect of biology, students will learn the basics behind macromolecules, cellular anatomy and processes, and genetics. In the aspect of chemistry, students will learn about the behaviors of matter in different phases, and how these behaviors are explained by molecular structure. Molecular structure and periodicity will also be studied to further understanding and connections between the different topics. Students will also have the opportunity to learn about how reactions work and how different properties and interactions facilitate them. Finally, physics will cover an introduction to a study of kinematics, dynamics, energy, as well as a brief introduction to electricity.

CS308 - Basics of Web Development
In this course, students will gain a basic understanding of HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript ES6 through visualized discussions, demonstrations, and hands-on coding. We will first discuss how all 3 languages work together in a website and how they interact as separate files. Then, we’ll move into learning the basics of each language, starting with syntax and then doing hands-on practice with recreating webpage elements. Throughout this, we will demonstrate how tools such as ChatGPT can generate raw code, then learn to read/understand prewritten code and add our own elements to it. We’ll spend a week briefly introducing APIs and showing the exciting possibilities for collaboration that web development offers. Finally, students will contribute to The Cloud Classroom’s website / leave the class with code for a personalized webpage.
CS307 - Algorithm with Java
Welcome to the captivating realm of computer algorithms! In this course, we will embark on an exploratory journey into the fundamental principles of algorithms and their profound impact on our digital landscape. Our primary medium for comprehending and implementing algorithms will be the esteemed programming language, Java. Through a combination of interactive discussions, practical coding exercises, and engaging activities, we will equip you with the knowledge and skills necessary to design, analyze, and implement algorithms proficiently.
