Hi
Here are the notes I used in my talk today.
Zemi notes 2022/01/05

- Submit current draft to me by 5pm for iThenticate processing.
- Available tomorrow (hanko/signature needed?)
- Take the weekend + Monday off, presentation prep not in a hurry.
- Tuesday prep presentation practice, revise midterm presentation
(update tables, references, etc; improve conclusions)
- 2022/01/12 Wednesday Zemi: 1st presentation practice
(note: faculty meeting @ 15:15; 2022/01/19 Zemi will reschedule due
to faculty meeting)
M1 and kenkyusei
- Homework
1. check faculty
https://www.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp/PPS/en/fac/ (English)
https://www.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp/PPS/fac/ (Japanese)
2. Find 1 faculty member each (may be different or the same)
- most likely to enjoy reading your thesis
- most likely to give helpful advice on the *subject* of your
thesis
3. Support your choice by citing one paper each (must be two papers
even if the professor is the same).
- very recent work from Annual reports
https://www.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp/DPPS/annual.html
- full list of publications from TRIOS
https://trios.tsukuba.ac.jp/researcher/search/advanced
4. Support your choices by quoting from the abstract of the paper
cited in 3.
5. Report:
a. Identify yourself.
b. State your research theme.
c. Identify the "interested" professor. Give a full citation
for the publication supporting your choice, and provide the
quote that supports this choice.
d. Identify the "helpful" professor. Give a full citation
for the publication supporting your choice, and provide the
quote that supports this choice.
- Uncertain about thesis?
Alternative strategies
- You submitted a research plan for entrance exam (kenkyusei
application): use that.
- If you have a general research area but are uncertain about the
specific thesis (research topic) for your graduation paper, that
should be specific enough.
- Pick something you know enough about to do the homework.
