Input Output, Expression Handling, and System Management
This course is designed to provide learners with a practical and conceptual foundation in Unix-based input/output handling, file management, and system administration. Through two in-depth modules, learners will progress from understanding essential I/O mechanisms to executing advanced administrative tasks using Unix commands and structures. In Module 1, learners will define, demonstrate, and apply principles of input/output processing, file streams, standard redirection, and text substitution using tools like sed and regular expressions. The lessons in this module emphasize file-based operations and the abstraction of system components in Unix. Module 2 shifts focus to navigation, disk management, and user-level control. Learners will describe the Unix directory hierarchy, execute device mounting operations, and manage user accounts and permissions—developing the skills needed for real-world system maintenance and security enforcement. With a blend of theoretical concepts, command-line practice, graded assessments, and real-use scenarios, this course equips learners to not only operate confidently in Unix environments but also to analyze system behaviors and evaluate administrative strategies effectively.

6分間模擬授業で学ぶ授業づくり（Learn How to Teach by 6 Min. Micro Teaching）
授業の設計や改善には、どのように取り組めばよいのか。 6 分間の模擬授業をつくることを通して、授業設計・改善のあり方について、具体的に学ぶプログラムです。初等教育から高等教育まで、現職の教員とこれから教員を目指す方を対象とし、３週間で学べるようになっています。「6 分間の模擬授業」を行う意義を理解し、その授業づくりの考え方「ADDIE モデル」を元にして、必要な知識と理論をさまざまなワーク（体験）によって実践します。そして、グラフィッククラスデザイン、クラスデザインシートの作成を通して模擬授業をデザインし、模擬授業を実施します。その後、実施した模擬授業の検討（振り返り）を通して、改善に取り組みます。 動画視聴とワークシート（個人の取り組み）だけでなく、ディスカッションフォーラムや週間フォーラムといった、受講者同士のコミュニティの場を通しての相互作用による、学びの広がりや深まりも大切にしています。 How should we work on class design and improvement? This is a program to learn specifically how to design and improve classes through the creation of a 6-minute microteaching class. The program is designed for current and prospective teachers from elementary to higher education, and can be completed in three weeks. The program is designed to help learners understand the significance of the “6-minute microteaching class,” and practice the necessary knowledge and theory based on the “ADDIE Model,” a concept for creating such classes, through a variety of work (hands-on experience). Then, through creating a graphic class design and a class design sheet, learners design and conduct a microteaching class. Afterwards, learners will review the microteaching class and work on improvement. In addition to watching videos and completing worksheets (individual work), the course also emphasizes the expansion and deepening of learning through interaction with other learners in the learning community, such as discussion forums.

Introduction to Forensic Science
We have all seen forensic scientists in TV shows, but how do they really work? What is the science behind their work? The course aims to explain the scientific principles and techniques behind the work of forensic scientists and will be illustrated with numerous case studies from Singapore and around the world. Some questions which we will attempt to address include: How did forensics come about? What is the role of forensics in police work? Can these methods be used in non-criminal areas? Blood. What is it? How can traces of blood be found and used in evidence? Is DNA chemistry really so powerful? What happens (biologically and chemically) if someone tries to poison me? What happens if I try to poison myself? How can we tell how long someone has been dead? What if they have been dead for a really long time? Can a little piece of a carpet fluff, or a single hair, convict someone? Was Emperor Napoleon murdered by the perfidious British, or killed by his wallpaper? *For Nanyang Technological University (NTU) students, please be noted that this course will no longer be eligible for credit transfer.
