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.
