Notes

【Course Objectives】

The seminar, which focuses on students interested in international development and cooperation, aims to guide students in identifying themes for their senior research and thesis. By bridging their awareness of various real-world challenges to academic concepts such as Human security and Afrasian studies approaches.
The seminar sessions facilitate a comprehensive understanding of the foundational aspects, including research questions and methods and academic writing in English, essential for conducting research in these specialized fields. Against this backdrop, this course aims to equip students with skills to identify research problems and formulate robust questions and ways to collect & analyze data to support their claims. Students will be able to report their findings clearly in academic reports.

【Course Contents】

The course begins with an introduction to its content and a discussion of students' expectations. Core terms are defined, and an overview of the Advanced Seminar is provided. The curriculum covers essential skills such as literature search techniques and the selection and application of theoretical frameworks in International Development and Cooperation.

Students learn to structure their papers or proposals, addressing the fundamental questions of WHY, WHAT, and HOW, as well as for WHOM they write. The course delves into effective note-taking and paraphrasing, emphasizing proper citation practices and avoiding plagiarism. An open discussion on hypothetical research areas for each group, with advance notice for preparation, sets the stage for exploring diverse topics. The latter part of the course focuses on preparing data, analysis, and presentation skills.
