I have taught four undergraduate courses:
Political Participation (2019- at Tsuda University in Japan)
Introduction to Political Science (2023- at Hosei University in Japan)
Public Opinion (2010-2012 at Texas A&M University and 2014 at Waseda University in Japan)
Voting Behavior (2012 at Texas A&M University and 2019- at Tsuda University)
Introduction to Political Science Research Methods (2012 at Texas A&M University)
Asian Governments and Politics (2013 at Texas A&M University)
I focus on the interpretation of American public opinion on many polls and make students examine their expectations based on their everyday lives or academic theories using academic survey research data. During the course, students are given the opportunity to use a statistical program and write an academic paper.

How I Teach
I basically give lectures orally using many slides. Usually, I write 30 pages in a 45-minute length class. Students can read these slides online too.
Students ask me questions via a chat-room tool in class.
