授業の概要 Course Overview

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

授業の目的(意義) / Importance of this course

Seminar 5 is aimed to lead each student to summarize the findings of their research and write a
1000-word Discussion Chapter of their graduation thesis. This is done through providing
students opportunities to present and discuss the content of their research and to follow the
steps of writing, peer-reviewing, and revising their essay.

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 the motivation to write a 1000-word Discussion Chapter in English, 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 to or absent from classes without a reason, and do not disturb class sessions by talking, using smartphones, etc.

配布教材と教室における電子機器の利用マナーについて Guidelines for Classroom Technology and Proper Use of Course Materials

  1. ケースメソッド教育の中核は、積極的な参加と知識の共有です。この教育を支えるため参加者は授業中の電子機器(例:スマートフォン、ノートパソコン)の使用を制限するよう求められます。許可を得た場合でも、教室内では電子機器は、ケース討議に資する目的でのみ使用してください。授業中は、たとえケース討議に関連していても、検索エンジンや生成AIの使用は避けて下さい。
  2. 配布教材(ケースを含む)は指定された授業への参加以外の目的で利用しないで下さい。著者の権利、著作権、特定情報の機密性を保護するため、許可なく教材を個人や組織(生成AI を含む)に提供することはできません。このルールは、印刷物・電子教材のいずれにも適用されます。
  1. Active participation and shared learning is at the core of the case method learning.Participants are asked to limit their use of electronic devices (e.g., laptops, smartphones) during classroom sessions in support of this model. Even with permission granted, devices should only be used in the classroom in service to the case discussion. Online searches and generative AI tools, even if related to the case discussion, are discouraged while class is in session.
  2. Students are prohibited from using the course materials (including cases) distributed by the university for any purpose other than participation in the designated class.Students must not input, process or test course materials with any artificial intelligence (AI) tools, bots, software, or platforms without the author’s permission. These actions violate the terms of use for the course materials and may also constitute copyright infringement.
