Course description and aims

Hold a colloquium where the doctor course students present the status of their thesis works.

The students are expected to explain the specialized doctor thesis works to the students from the other physics fields
based on the deep understanding of their own topics, and also listening to the talks by the students from the other fields
to be exposed to latest developments in the other fields.

Through the experience of giving presentations and discussions in English, they will gain the skills for their future works
in the global environment. Also it is important that the students are aware of the importance of the researcher literacy
in the presentations at the conference, and rules in publishing papers in academic journals.

By preparing and giving presentations that are understandable from other disciplines, students can achieve better presentation
techniques for interacting with the public in outreach activties and for thier future careers in academic and industry.

Student learning outcomes

This colloquium can serve as an opportunity to present the progress in their doctoral thesis works.

By listening to the presentations of other students, they can be exposed to the latest developments outside their field,
and at the same time, they can discuss each other's topics to gain a deeper understanding of their own doctoral thesis
and can provide feedback on how to proceed with their own works.

In addition, through this colloquium, students will deepen their understanding of how to present and ask questions in English, which is essential for their future global activities. Students will also gain a clear understanding of the rules, significance and research ethics of presenting research at conferences and publishing papers in academic journals.

Keywords

Class flow

Holding a colloquium and all the registered doctor course students give talks, and participate in the discussions.

Course schedule/Required learning

  Course schedule Required learning
Class 1 The organization of the colloquium, such as call for the talks, making agenda will be carried out by the Faculty. The setup of the meeting room, the session chairs, etc are organized by the students. Details will be announced in early September, but we plan to hold colloquium in late October for the 1st round (mainly for D1 and D3 students), mid January for the 2nd round (mainly for D2 students). Presentations will be given in English. In the first colloquium, a comprehensive explanation of the knowledge, skills, social responsibility and ethics will be given to design one's own career and to be an active member of academia and industry, then it is followed by presentations by the students. Registered students are supposed to attend all presentations and participate in discussions. Prepare your presentation well enough so that key concepts and meanings of your research are clearly understandable to audience from “different fields” in physics. In preparation, students should receive guidance from their supervisor on the ethical aspects of their presentation and ensure that their presentation complies with this guidance. The talks will be scored based on the following two points. 1) whether the talk is well understood by the other students/faculty members from the other physics fields. 2) whether the work is considered to be well advanced and has an importance in the field through the talk and discussion.

Textbook(s)

None.

Reference books, course materials, etc.

None.

Assessment criteria and methods

The faculty members participating in colloquium will serve as judges and give scores on the basis of whether or not the above objectives have been achieved.
