Style:
Course Method: The class will be taught with commentary from a chronological point of view, but we will try to use visual materials as much as possible because of the nature of the content of the history of various regions, except for the Japanese Islands, which is not easy to understand in daily life. Students will be asked to work on small assignments several times a year. The content of the lectures will be determined flexibly according to the situation of the students.
Grade evaluation method :
At least four times, this will be done through a report that asks for commitment. The issue of grading in history education will be taken up as an independent topic in the course.
Notice:
Course advice: There is a huge amount of material to be studied compared to the number of hours in the curriculum. It is not possible to cover all of the subjects in a class, so students are encouraged to study independently by using the library. This course is required to complete the course.
Foundanatial subjects: Ethics(1st year), Politics and Economics (2nd), Japanese History (2nd), Intercultural
Advice: Students should be actively involved in the lectures.
Basic subjects: None.
Attendance advice: It is not easy to find joy in learning if you are passive. It is important to remember that learning will only become cultured if you are willing to learn. If you are late for a class, you should be aware that you will not be penalized for being late.
