Course description
 Students will undergo practicum on presentation and Q&A on their research concept prepared through the "Interdisciplinary Seminar I" course.
 Collaborative humanities and sciences colloquium to be attended by all 1st year students and faculty members of the Joint Program will be held to discuss and decide the triplet supervision scheme for each student, as well as to publicly present and discuss their doctoral dissertation research concept. Also, along with an introduction of the faculty members of the Joint Program, lectures will be given on common research ethics that all students must understand in the conduct of their doctoral research.

Expected Learning
Upon completion of this course, the students will be able to:
1. improve their interdisciplinary creativity and practice their presentation skills
2. understand common research ethics in the conduct of their doctoral research
Course schedule
 In this practicum, all full-time faculty and students enrolled in the Joint Program will together attend lectures in a collaborative humanities and sciences colloquium format. The triplet research supervision scheme for each student will be discussed and decided in the collaborative humanities and sciences colloquium, after which students will report their doctoral dissertation research concept, and Q&A sessions regarding the reports will be held. The practicum will be held in two intensive sessions.
 The first colloquium will be held immediately after students enter the program. Students will report and hold Q&A on their research theme and select two assistant supervisors after receiving advice and comments from assistant supervisor candidates. Also, in the colloquium, along with an introduction of the faculty members of the Joint Program, lectures will be given on common research ethics that all students must understand in the conduct of their doctoral research.
 The 2nd colloquium will be held after completing courses in the first semester. Students will report and hold Q&A sessions on their research concept, by incorporating the knowledge and achievements for each of the phases of "comprehension, analysis, and implementation" that they have gained through the "Interdisciplinary Seminar I" course.


Prerequisites
Prior to the 2nd colloquium, the students must prepare their own research concept through the "Interdisciplinary Seminar I" course.
You are recommended to prepare for, and review, the classes spending the standard amount of time as specified by the University for each class.
