準備学習 Classes will include lectures, discussions, presentations, and group work. At the beginning of the course the instructor will chose the Nobel laureates to be discussed, however, later in the course students are free to chose the Nobel laureates that they would prefer to discuss. In general, the first hour will be a lecture review of the weekly topic and the second hour will be group work and discussion.

Students will be required to prepare group presentations over the course of the semester and one individual presentation. Short written summaries with reference pages are required for all presentations. In addition, students will write several reflection papers. Apart from this, students are expected to review the material provided by the lecturer and to be prepared for class discussions. Although it is not required, the instructor hopes that students will take a “proactive” approach to their studies and are encouraged to bring in outside materials that they believe will help facilitate discussion.
