授業の概要 Course Overview

Misson Statementとの関係性 / Connection to our Mission Statement

授業の目的(意義) / Importance of this course

Seminar 6 is aimed to lead each student to finalize their graduation thesis. This is done through providing students opportunities to go over the written material, check the format and content, and revising their essay. Students are also expected to present and discuss the content of their research.
Students are thus required throughout the course to not only do what they are told to do but also think carefully about the task and find their own answers to each assignment. They must have a motivation to complete their thesis, be able to actively participate in discussions and make comments on classmates’ presentations and essays, and be polite to classmates and the instructor; do not be late for or be absent from classes without a reason, do not disturb class sessions by talking, using smartphones, etc.
