Teaching Method

Outline:
※Relationship with practice: This course is provided by a teacher who worked at another institute (IMAI Quantum Computation and Information Project and Quantum Computation and Information Project Solution Oriented Research for Science and Technology. The purpose of this course is to use teacher's experience in understanding the basic idea of information theory as the basis of information engineering. This course is given in lecture format.

General or Specialized : Specialized
Foundational academic disciplines : Integrated Disciplines/Informatics/Principles of Informatics
Field of learning : Infromation system・Programming・Network
Relationship with Educational Objectives :This class is equivalent to "(3) Acquire deep foundation knowledge of the major subject area".

MCC Goals(Based on the guidelie 4/28/2017 version, number in brackets is MCC level): V-D-7 Information mathematics・Information theory/Discrete mathematics(4), Applied discrete mathematics(4), Information theory(4).

Relationship with JABEE programs :
The main goal of learning / education in this class are "A A-1" also "A-2" is involved.

Course outline :
This course provides understanding theoretical basis of information engeering, through leraningbasic mathematics concerned with information engineering. This course deal with discrete mathematics mainly.
Style:
Course method :
The class is held on the presupposition that all students will check the materials on Blackboard(LMS). The class occurs in a flipped classroom. The class is held mainly in English.

Grade evaluation method :
Exams (100%).
Examinations will be conducted a total of 2 times, and the evaluation ratios will be weighted. As a general, retaking exams can not performed. Bringing textbook and notebook at examination is not permitted but depending on the situation. Examinations are based on the rubric but there is no guarantee that the examinations cover achievements in rubric.
Notice:
Precautions on the enrollment : English is used in classrooom mainly.

Course advice : Information concerned with classes will appear on Blackboard(LMS). The students need to consult Blackboard in advance.

Foundational subjects : Mathematical Information(4th year)

Attendance advice : If you are late for the roll call, you will be treated as absent 1 period.
If you are 50 minutes late, you will be treated as 2 absence.
Most of the contents are basic and many exercises appear on textbook. All exercise may not solve in classroom from a temporal restriction. However almost exercises are basic, then the students can solve them by themselves. You can consult with BlackBoard(LMS) and should solve the quiz on BlackBoard before attendance.
