授業の概要 Course Overview
Misson Statementとの関係性 / Connection to our Mission Statement
The Seminar program is an important part of undergraduate curriculum at NUCB that gives students the opportunity to undertake original research and write a graduation thesis as part of their 'Frontier Spirit' development. Writing a research thesis is an essential way to communicate in academic communities all around the world. When you write, you question assumptions, share your opinions, express new connections between ideas, report research findings and demonstrate knowledge. Once your research thesis is written, it is available to many people, both now and in the future.
授業の目的（意義） / Importance of this course
The Seminar program is designed to guide and assist students to write a 4,000 word thesis step by step. This is a student-centered learning environment where students need to actively participate in each step of the research and writing process as an independent, critical scholar and develop their Frontier Spirit. My primary role as teacher is to guide you and help you develop the necessary research and writing skills in English.
到達目標 / Achievement Goal
Students are expected to complete the Literature Review section during Seminar 3.

The course will be conducted via informal lectures by the instructor, individual student presentations of their work in progress and of readings, and via active group discussion of topics in pairs and groups. I expect from seminar participants that they make every effort to contribute meaningfully to planned and spontaneous discussions and that they consciously create and exploit opportunities for personally relevant learning. I will provide feedback on every task.
