概要
学修到達目標 | Students will become comfortable and effective expressing themselves in writing and presenting in English for both formal and informal academic situations. Such situations can include but are not limited to: Having discussions for brainstorming and teamwork within the laboratory; writing product specs, abstract proposals, and full research papers; making new acquaintances and building professional relationships of mutual understanding and trust with colleagues and clients; engaging the public with scientific concepts but in layperson's terms; giving formal presentations at local and international conferences; and responding appropriately and with clarity during Q&A sessions. |

授業形態及び 授業方法 |
In formal educational terms, the course methods are: social learning through interactive engagement, communities of practice, and appreciative inquiry. These methods mean you need to participate actively in every class by: (1) joining discussions in writing workshops, (2) asking questions to presenters and giving them positive feedback, (3) presenting and then answering the questions of audience members, (4) teaching and helping all class members during class whenever you can, and (5) being ready even out-of-class to support your classmates in learning, scheduling, and creating a safe environment to make mistakes and become better. |

You will be writing and presenting the research that you are doing now. If you have not yet completed your experiments, or have not yet collected your data, then you will be writing and presenting about your research aims and background information. |
