Course Contents/Objectives/Teaching Method/Intended Learning Outcome

This class is open to PCP students, Master's level graduate students, and qualified exchange students only.
The purpose of this class is to teach students how to conduct scientific research independently. Students choose the topic and analytical method, gather the necessary information, conduct the analysis, and complete a paper on their own with an original contribution, which must be at least 6,000 words. Students also receive counseling on how to behave professionally and properly when presenting their papers as well as comments and advice for their research from fellow students, Teaching Assistants, and the professors.
Every week, students take turns making presentations to the class. Each student must present at least three times before the term ends. Presentation slides must be submitted in advance to be shared with other participants. All students should actively participate in each other's presentations, by asking questions and making comments. Each week, students write up and submit a "summaries and comments"
As a conclusion to the term, there will be a convocation in which students present their final papers in English. This takes place in mid-July and coincides with the deadline for submission of the complete paper. For PCP students, this will be the final paper for the Professional Career Programme.
