| Outline and Purpose of the Course |
Discussions will focus on introducing the latest research related to the science of development. The main objective is to steadily advance students' research through regular presentations. In order to improve students' English presentation skills, sessions will be entirely delivered in English (where appropriate, supplementary explanation in Japanese will be provided). We hope that this course attracts students with an interest in Developmental Science. |

| Course Requirements | While there are no prerequisites for this class, we hope to attract students who have an interest in Developmental Science and want to improve their English presentation skills. | |||
| Study outside of Class (preparation and review) | Alongside the sessions, students should, of their own accord, seek out academic journals and read articles closely related to the topics discussed in class and to the subjects they have a personal interest in. To improve their English proficiency, students are also advised to view online presentations by leading researchers (e.g., TED Talks and Carta). | |||
