Students in the Forum of Computing will learn how to plan, practice, and present research in computing by participating actively in research presentations, discussions, and other practical activities. In addition, students will acquire science communication skills related to computing and learn about career development. In this course, students will act as chairperson of the presentation session, in addition to presenting their research topics. By actively participating in discussions with others, students develop understanding of relationships between their main research fields and others, and recognize the role of their research topic in our society. Through this process, students learn to encourage active discussions among students from different research and cultural backgrounds, which is necessary for interdisciplinary communication.
This course aims to help doctoral students acquire the skills in research methods, research presentation, international communication, etc., which they need to acquire before receiving their doctoral degrees through active participation in the class. In particular, this course aims to develop advanced skills for active participation in interdisciplinary discussions at research presentations in other fields.
Students will acquire the following skills, particularly the advanced skill regarding 3), through attending this course.
1) How to plan and conduct research in general
2) Research presentation (presentation, paper)
3) Skills discussing science, interdisciplinary and international communication skills
4) Career development and science communication
Research planning, research execution, research presentation, research discussion, English communication
Specialist skills | ✔ Intercultural skills | ✔ Communication skills | ✔ Critical thinking skills | ✔ Practical and/or problem-solving skills |
Active participation is required by students. In each class, content focused on a student's own research presentation and discussions is dealt with, so preparation in advance is required.
