Outline and Purpose of the Course All students planning to submit their graduation thesis will present their ideas and research contents and will learn basic methods for selecting themes based on academic history, researching and analyzing historical texts, and developing arguments and essays.
Course Goals Upon their successful completion of this course, students will: -write a high-quality graduation thesis based on their understanding and independent analysis of the historical text.
Schedule and Contents In April and May, we will consider the theme for the final thesis, and investigate previous studies and the basic historical texts on which they were based. In July, the first midterm presentation will occur. To pass the midterm, students must meet the minimum requirement as follows: understand the goals and problems of previous studies and clarify the research topics therein. However, it is also recommended that students conduct research and reading of the historical text independently. In October, students will give the second midterm presentation, for which they are expected to conduct a deeper analysis of the historical texts, identify original issues, and determine the framework for their final thesis
