Through language learning, students in this course share their voices, cultivate global perspectives, and foster an appreciation for self and others. Students expand their knowledge of the basic skills introduced in Japanese Language Through Culture I while further developing their speaking, listening, writing, and reading skills.

Each unit follows the IPA model (Integrated Performance Assessment), blending three modes of communication: interpretation of authentic material in Japanese, synchronous and asynchronous practice in speaking and writing, and oral and written presentations. Each unit focuses on one of the following cultural topics: design and expression, ecology, entertainment, East meets West, harmony, and nature. In addition, students have the opportunity to select and pursue topics of their own interest.

Grammar topics cover the essential forms that are typically introduced in the second and third year of a high school Japanese program. By learning the dictionary form, nominalizer, TE form, TA form, NAI form, and noun modifier, students will be able communicate more complex ideas. In doing so, they shift from forming simple sentences to communicating in coherent paragraphs.

As online learners, students are expected to exhibit superb time management and communication skills, as well as take ownership of their learning. While grammar instruction is delivered through asynchronous work and face-to-face meetings, much of the course content is curated and created by students through their research and collaboration.

In Medical Problem Solving 2, students use and strengthen their problem solving competencies from Medical Problem Solving 1 to extend their understanding of the world of medicine and health care. Students will explore questions such as: How does where you live determine your health care? What other factors influence access? What ethical issues inevitably arise in medicine and how do they affect what treatments are available, who makes decisions, who has access, and what future advances might include? When and how does medicine become an issue of social justice? Like Medical Problem Solving I, the course focuses on case studies; however, here they become more complex and go beyond an individual’s case to compare and contrast people’s different experiences with the same body system. Such analysis leads students to identify the factors that determine what medical resources are available within one setting as well as who has access to them. Further, this approach invites students to consider the role of culture and those of ethics and social justice in shaping attitudes towards and understanding of medical care and treatments.
