Hi all,
I want to confirm that there will be Zemi tomorrow:
02/11 (F) 13:30-17:00 150分 ゼミ
as proposed earlier. Graduating students should attend and comment on
the presentations. I will decide order of presentation and announce
it in the morning.
For the presentation practice you *must* have a powerpoint
presentation containing
1. A properly formatted title page, presenting your title, your name,
your student ID number, my name as advisor, your advisory group,
and the date of presentation (not necessarily in that order).
2. A "background" slide explaining why your research is interesting
and important.
3. * A "literature review" slide, explaining the history of research
leading to your theme. Where possible you should include three
papers:
a. a famous "seminal" paper which started the research area
b. a "methodolody" paper which is the most well-developed
explanation of the methodology you will use in your research.
c. a "departure" paper which is your starting point, the paper
which is closest to the research you plan to do.
These papers are not necessarily different, especially at this
stage. Most often, this is a good place to explain your
originality. Sometimes the "research question" or "plan" slide is
better.
4. * A "research question" slide which describes the specific
problems you wish to solve. Typical research questions involve
measuring the strength of a relationship, testing whether a
relationship exists, and determining the nature of equilibrium in
a theoretical model (dependence on parameters, efficiency, etc).
5. A "plan" slide explaining your research methodology.
* You should have a model (and you will need a model for the
presentation on the 14th). Remember that a model is not
necessarily an equation or diagram. It is a cause-and-effect
explanation of why something happens.
6. * A "schedule" slide presenting when various activities will
happen (data collection, estimation, writing, presentations, paper
submission, etc, etc).
7. A properly formatted list of at least 5 references, 10 would be
nice.
The outline above is an extended version of the outline given
earlier. Give special attention to new text prefixed with "*".
