| Outline and Purpose of the Course |
The purpose of this course is to help students prepare for their participation in a summer/winter school, or a similar program, in which they receive professional training for a research project. It provides an opportunity for students to exchange their ideas and plans for their projects, and develop and improve their research plans. By discussing various research methodologies, analytical frameworks for their projects, and various problems and concerns that students may face while conducting their research, this course will enable students to deepen their understanding of issues related to their research and to broaden their perspectives. |
| Course Goals |
Students are expected to gain practical knowledge to execute their projects and analytical skills to examine research outcomes critically. They should also be able to situate their specific project in a broader context and to understand the significance of their research for their own career as well as for broader communities. |
| Schedule and Contents |
Registration for this course is limited to PhD students who are going to participate in a summer/winter school or the like held in Japan or abroad designed for PhD students, post-doc researchers and relevant practitioners, and to receive professional training on specific research topics. Students are required to submit detailed information about the programme they wish to attend beforehand and a completion report (including a certificate of completion, if available) to the supervisors and instructors afterward. |
| Evaluation Methods and Policy |
