Learning techniques to be incorporated  
Suggestions on
Preparation and
Review
  It's the learning where one unit equals 45 hours, so, we aim the result based on learning of six units, in short 270 hours at least. If you do the work of thesis writing for three hours a day, which are said to be the time during which you can concentrate your attention to thinking, it's guessed to take 90 days at least. 
Requirements  I request you to have sincere attitude against studies. In any case, you should stack the result of investigation.
 By the way, you can't bring any foods or beverages in a class room. (Class-1 health officer.)  
Grading Method  I'll evaluate you from the form and contents of the thesis you wrote.
 And, you have to make a presentation about your result in public in the presentation of the report of graduation theses held mainly by this course in the beginning of every February.
