皆さん

来週1月3日(水)は同じ時間と場所。冬季休業の注意は当てはまります。次第を後に回します。

なお、この間、3E401に鼠(約15cm)が見えたと聞いています。糞などは
見付からなかったので一時的な侵入と思いますが、以下の対策をとっています。

・スタッフに報告した。どんな対応するかまだ分からない。
・鼠は普通に人間に攻撃しない。ただ、かなり口の汚いもので万が一に噛まれ
 たら病院に行きなさい。また、見ても自分から攻撃しないで。
・糞や噛まれたものがあったら私に報告すること。その場合にはより積極的な
 対応を図ります。
・毎日、帰る前に全ての飲食の容器、缶、袋などをそとのごみ箱に。ゴミ箱も
 外のごみ箱に捨てること。
・部屋に食べ物が置いてある場合には鼠にやらかしていないことを確認した上、
 タッパーのようなふたつき容器に入れること。あるいは持って帰ること。注
 意:しないと捨てます。
・荷物を段々片付けて行こうと考えています。ただ、保管場所を作らなくてな
 らないので時間がちょっとかかると思い、ご理解を。

以下、前のメールの課題説明文の英訳です。

Because the presentation time limit is very strict, it's important to
keep the self-introduction short.  The following is a common form:

  システム情報工学研究科社会工学学位プログラムの1年、学生番号
  ○○、の○○です。これから「○○に関する研究」の研究計画を発
  表いたします。

   My name is ○○, and my student number is ○○.  I am a first year
   student in the Master Degree Program in Policy and Planning Science
   of the Graduate School of Systems and Information Engineering.  I
   will now present my research proposal about "○○".

When applicable, it is a good strategy to include remarks about how
the research topic was inspired by your personal characteristics, such
as geographical origin.  However, you should *not* make this part of
the opening self-introduction.  You will only need to repeat it when
discussing your research motivation anyway.  Introduce it in a logical
fashion when you discuss your research motivation.  (In tomorrow's
practice, such detail should not be included at all.)

The bibliography spreadsheet should be constructed and explained as
follows.

1.  Use bibliography.xlsx.  It can be downloaded from
    http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp/Teach/Zemi/bibliography.xlsx
2.  You should already have 5 references from the previous assignment,
    and will add at least 5 more this time for a total of at least 10.
3.  In addition to the 3 "general tags" (theoretical, empirical,
    policy-oriented) you should add at least 3 which relate the papers
    to the content of your research (the more, the better).  These
    tags are similar but not entirely the same as "keywords" used in
    published papers for indexing.
4.  Input whether the tag applies (coded 1) or not (coded 0) for each
    paper in your list.
5.  Fill in *all* columns accurately, as appropriate.  However:
    a.  For my convenience, if you downloaded the paper in electronic
        form, always provide an URL.
    b.  Where columns apply only to books or to journal articles, you
        only need to fill them in when appropriate.  (Refer to the
        explanation page in the spreadsheet for guidance.)

Once you have completed the form send it to me by email.

In the presentation, besides displaying the reference list on the
screen, mainly you should explain the tags that you chose, and the
reason for assigning tags to papers (or not).  You may think that 10
papers at this stage is a lot, but actually I do not expect you to be
able to make "high quality" selections, so you should put your effort
to meeting the quantity goal without worrying too much about quality,
as long as there is some evident relationship to your research topic.
Finally, you should not use more than about 2 newspaper articles or
references to non-technical pages of businesses.  Mostly your
references should be drawn from academic journals or monographs.

Work hard!
