授業の目的と概要

This is a level 3 course. If your best TOEIC L&R score is below 700, you should not take this course. This course is similar in difficulty to a regular content course taught in a foreign country.

In this course students will explore current issues in ufology through both teacher and student-led discussions, as a means of improving research methodologies and communication. The topic of Ufology was chosen as an engaging means of enhancing research designs, while the principles covered in this course should be applicable to any research topic.

授業の到達目標


In this course students will learn and improve their understanding and skills in creating a data-driven research design using real-world information.

授業計画

【全体】

Each week we will discuss UFOs and scientific studies, and how students could further research aspects of this topic. This will require students to read background materials and watch videos to prepare for class, and participate in thoughtful discussions.
