Teaching Method

Outline:

The aim of this class is to understand and analyze issues in their research topics based on the results of the learning up to the 4th year and the basic knowledge gained through Preliminaries to Graduation Thesis, and solve problems voluntarily and continuously by taking appropriate approach. Another aim is to convey research results accurately to others through papers and presentations.

Style:

Graduation Thesis class is conducted by several faculty members (laboratories). Students will work on document research, experiments, simulations, examinations, etc. under the guidance of their supervisor at one of these laboratories.

Notice:

They are expected to frequently discuss research results with their supervisor.
If they cannot conduct research during the hours of Graduation Thesis class, transfer to other hours with permission from the supervisor.
Students who spend less than 202.5 hours on research will not be eligible for a passing grade.
