Theme of First Year Seminar(First Year Seminar Only) | | | This course aims to inform students in the social sciences and humanities about current social, economic and political issues in Japan, as well as to foster critical inquiry, analysis and debate. Rather than a traditional lecture, this course is structured as a student-centered, academic simulation of the Japanese House of Representatives (lower house of the National Diet), or Model Diet. Each student participant will be expected to role-play as a legislator, according to an assigned party affiliation and background profile. Student responsibilities will include researching select domestic or foreign relations issues, working in pairs to prepare and present six brief position papers, engaging in debate over proposed bills, voting on bills, and finally, reporting to constituents. |

授業の目的 【英語】
Goals of the Course [ENG] | | | 【Standardized across all programs】 This course is conducted in the form of a seminar with small groups. We will provide multifaceted intellectual training focused on reading (literature research, consideration, examination), writing (summary, report writing), and speaking (discussion, presentation) as the most basic skills (common basic) for learning and studying at university. Through this, our goal is to learn the "process of knowledge exploration" and "the fun of learning" and to acquire the independent learning ability. A wide variety of themes are prepared according to the research field of the instructors. |

| | 注意事項
Notice for Students | | First Year Seminar is designed to be a student-centered class that promotes active learning. Students are expected to attend every class meeting, participate in group discussions, and work in groups outside of class to research current issues and write bills and position papers. Any student who has concerns about their ability to work productively with a group should write me before enrolling in this class.
Please note that the maximum enrollment for this class is twelve (12) students. Once the class fills, I can add names to the waiting list, meaning that I will open a seat for you if an enrolled student withdraws during the first week. However, I cannot override the enrollment cap to allow more than twelve students in the class. |
