| Outline and Purpose of the Course | Graduate students will each present reports on their research process (establishment of a topic, review of past studies, collection of historical materials, investigation/analysis, inquiry and definition, and the entire writing process), and discuss their processes with one another with the aim of enhancing their research. | |||
| Course Goals | The achievement objectives are as follows: (1) To understand the research trends in each of the topics that interest the graduate student participants, critically read internal and external prior research, and accurately understand new research topics; (2) To improve their capacity for truly original research and analysis methods; (3) To improve their skills in organizing a logical layout and creating figures for a clear and logical thesis, and to gain the capacity to present research and write a thesis. | |||
| Schedule and Contents |
At the beginning of the year, we will decide on the graduate student presentation schedule for the year, and in line with that, students will prepare an outline and give presentations on their own specialized topics. We will then discuss the presentations. Graduate students will need to give at least two presentations during the course of the year. In each presentation, they will report their research results from the past six months. For each presentation, a different student will be in charge of taking notes, listing the discussion content, summarizing it out loud at the end of the seminar, and printing out the notes within one week to distribute them to all seminar members. Presenters will use the discussion and comments given to enhance their research and make revisions, which are expected to be reflected in the master's theses for master's students, and in papers to contribute to academic journals for doctoral students. Session 1: Introduction Sessions 2~29: Student research presentations and discussion Session 30: Full summary and feedback |
