Course description
To perform our own research, we often gain necessary knowledge and useful techniques of related research from scientific articles. The aim of this course is to improve reading comprehension ability of English scientific articles related to applied chemistry and materials and presentation skills, it is required every time to make a presentation of the contents understood from an English article as an assignment.
It should be noted that students are divided into a small groups with 5 - 7 members and attend a lecture by a different teaching stuff every week. Students must receive an article two weeks before each lecture and prepare to give a full presentation. In some cases, submission of the summary is required in advance.

Message from instructor(s)
In this lecture, students are divided into a small group (5-7 persons) and attend a lecture by a different teaching stuff every week. There is no sense of only translating the English article into Japanese. It is important to understand contents of the English article from related textbooks and/or references. It is possible to improve your ability to read and understand English scientific articles by using this opportunity. Ask teaching stuffs in charge if you have questions.
