Class Objectives
/Class Outline A survey and research is managed with collaboration from the researchers and/or facilities inside or outside the university on each subject decided independently by the students. Students acquire science literacy and problem-solving ability, and they practice research management through critical thinking.

Class Schedule At the beginning of April: A guidance is held to explain the purpose of this class, its procedure, and its schedule. Information about research management is provided by the coordinators. The students start to collect information by having an interview with tutors or professors.
Middle of May: Students make a proposal in a proper format and submit it to the office. When preparing the proposal, the student must complete an application form consisting of scientific issues, purposes, characteristics, and a research plan.
In any case, the applicant will receive various supports and assistance from the coordinator, tutor, or professor. Therefore, it is necessary for the applicant to explain concretely the overall image to be proposed.
Beginning of June: The submitted proposal is examined by the relevant researchers. The examiner accurately gives an evaluation and some comments to the applicant.
