[Grad2020] [Turnbull Zemi] Tomorrow's Zemi / 明日のゼミ

[Stephen J. Turnbull]

Hi everyone / こんにちは皆さん

Sorry for the English, will translate to Japanese later.

Here's the agenda for tomorrow:

1.  Undergraduate students will practice their presentations using the
    projector, concentrating on the following points:

    a.  Smooth and brief self-introductions.
    b.  Attractive and complete title slide.
    c.  At least two content slides, with focus on format: an
        informative title (eg, instead of "Introduction", a brief
        reference to the main point of background for the thesis;
        instead of "Previous Research", a description of the field of
        research).
    d.  Complete bibliography for *all* citations in the presentation,
        including author and year of publication, and title of the
        work.  For books, also the publisher.  For articles in
        journals, also the journal name, month or quarter of
        publication (where available), volume and number (where
        available) and page range.  Where electronic content was
        downloaded, the URL (DOI is OK).
    e.  As much content as possible (least important).

2.  Kenkyusei will practice their presentations, without supporting
    handouts or the projector, concentrating on the following points:

    a.  Smooth and brief self-introduction (name, examination ID
        number, "Turnbull Zemi", and place of origin = city, country,
        optional prefecture/province/state).
    b.  Motivations for
        i.  graduate study
        ii. at the Faculty of Policy and Planning Science in the
        University of Tsukuba
        iii. in the Turnbull Zemi
        (about 1.5-2 minutes).
    c.  Description of research plan, including
        i.  statement of thesis (should be first)
        ii. motivation for choice of thesis
        iii. 1-2 main research questions (hypotheses, ideas you want
            your research to prove or investigate)
        iv. expected results (can be combined with 3)
        v.  importance (who benefits)
        (about 2.5-3 minutes).

3.  Undergraduates submit draft presentation materials to me by 10/25
    (Sat) 17:00.
