Teaching Method

Outline:
At KOSEN, which are higher education institutions, it is necessary to "set up their own problems and find the right solutions for them". The purpose of this class is to acquire basic skills in learning at KOSEN through a series of processes of learning and learning about oneself and others, working on problem solving as a team, and creating "answers".
Style:
You will learn various ways of exploring through individual work and group work. The grade evaluation is judged by the deliverables of group work and individual work in the lecture. In addition, evaluation points are evaluated in each deliverable, such as the expressive power transmitted to the other party, the logical thinking ability to organize the path to the answer that you gave, and the introspective ability to reflect on your thoughts after receiving the other person's feedback.
The four faculty members in charge of the class plan will share the lecture.
Notice:
Students who miss 1/4 or more of classes will not be eligible for a passing grade.
Classes are developed using a participatory learning method, focusing on discussions between students. By speaking out your own ideas and listening carefully to the voices of others, learning becomes richer. For this reason, it is necessary to actively participate in the process of creating a place of learning together.
The overall evaluations will be based 40% on reports, 20% on presentations and feedback, and 40% on in-class assignments. Students who achieve 60% or above can pass the course.
