Course description
This course is given in the seminar form for the first-year students on a specific subject in the field of the professor giving the lecture. Besides the passive learning of the knowledge accumulation type before the admission to university, the students are expected to know through this lecture how to learn actively by themselves with critical minds. In addition, they are also expected to extend their abilities of reading and writing together with the communication ability.
By receiving the instruction of the professor belonging to a department different from yours in a small group of students, you can enlarge your scientific outlook, and know how to behave as a university student with the basic manners for a member of society.
Expected Learning
Acquisition of the ability to find problems or subjects to be solved and to study to find answer for them by yourself
Understanding how to get information that is needed to solve problems or subjects
Getting the ability to convey the information you have found and your thoughts to others so as that they can understand them
Course schedule
Main subject of this course is “Application of spectroscopy to environmental problems: Chemical analyses by light.” Systematic lectures on this subject will not be given. Presentations by students based on their investigation and discussion in relation to the presentations will be held mainly together with the lectures on the techniques how to get information, how to prepare for the presentation, and how to make appreciable presentation.
