Outline and Purpose of the Course To realize the progress in nutrition chemistry in food science, the students select important research papers at cutting edge and introduce them with expressions his/her opinion. About the presentation, teaching staffs and students discuss to obtain the knowledge and polish research skill.
Course Goals Second-year students will decide on the presentation theme to be presented, read several original research papers related to their theme, prepare an outline, and give an oral presentation. In addition to gaining an in-depth understanding of the content of the research papers, students will survey and review a broad range of recently published studies, and further develop the skills to evaluate the significance of the research papers selected from various perspectives. The experience will help students further develop their skills to select their research themes, and plan and carry out the experiments needed for their research.
Schedule and Contents Students will choose topics from academic papers published in international journals on specific themes related to nutritional chemistry. They will individually prepare an outline of the topics, explain them to the class, and engage in discussions with other students.

Feedback will be performed through group discussion among the instructors and students.
Evaluation Methods and Policy While attendance will be the primary criterion for evaluation, the quality of presentation and the student’s understanding of the topics presented will also be considered.
Refer to '2017 Guide to Degree Programs' for attainment levels of evaluation
Course Requirements Introductory knowledge of nutritional science or biochemistry.
Study outside of Class (preparation and review) Second-year students will select several research papers from a variety of fields related to the theme they selected, and survey other related fields to find aspects of the papers that are significant or interesting from the perspective of nutritional science. Students will conduct further studies to supplement areas that are found to be lacking during discussions.
