| Outline and Purpose of the Course |
Students are asked to present on articles selected from Japanese and foreign academic journals related to the research field. Alternatively, students are asked to provide an interim presentation on what they are researching. Teaching staff and students will discuss what has been presented. Through these activities, the course facilitates students' comprehension of research developments in each field and the enhancement of their ability to read and present. |
