Course description
In this course, students will undergo practicum on presentation and Q&A on their research concept and implementation plan prepared through the "Interdisciplinary Seminar II" course.
Collaborative humanities and sciences colloquium to be attended by all 1st year students and faculty members of the Joint Program will be held for students to publicly present and discuss their doctoral dissertation research concept, implementation plan, and internship experience. Also, as necessary, the colloquium will include lectures on research ethics.
Expected Learning
Upon completion of this course, the students will be able to:
1. improve their interdisciplinary creativity and presentation skills.
2. incorporate the knowledge and achievements for each of the phases of "comprehension, analysis, and implementation" that they have gained through the "Interdisciplinary Seminar II" course into their research concept and implementation plans.
Course schedule
The collaborative humanities and sciences colloquium will be held in an intensive format, where students will report on their doctoral dissertation or internship experience, as well as hold Q&A sessions regarding the report from a broad perspective. Students are expected to incorporate the knowledge and achievements for each of the phases of "comprehension, analysis, and implementation" that they have gained through the "Interdisciplinary Seminar II" course into their research concept and implementation plans.
The practicum will be held in two intensive sessions. The first colloquium will be held immediately after the beginning of the new term, and students will report and hold Q&A on their doctoral dissertation research concept. The 2nd colloquium will be held after completing courses in the second semester, and students will present and hold Q&A sessions on their research implementation plan.
