The first part is taught by Professor Kuhn. In this portion of the course, students will learn the basics of research, including finding sources, evaluating them, and starting your own research. First, students will learn about the central library on Nagoya University campus. Then, using online resources and databases, students will find research related to a topic of their choice.
