| 授業概要 | Generally, any text or film in English! I have supervised graduation theses on a wide variety of areas, genres, and periods. If you want to write a sotsuron in English about literature or film, I would be pleased to consider your project. |
| 授業のねらい・到達目標 | The overall purpose is to have students write, in English, a 25-30 page research essay that defends, explains, analyzes, and above all argues a main claim (or thesis statement). Specifically, students will be able to work to establish a question or problem arising from their reading and interpretation of one or more texts, then write an argumentative essay in response to the question or problem. The response to the question or problem -- the main claim of the essay -- will be supported by research. Advising sessions are for students to ask questions, discuss problems, obtain information on research sources, and receive feedback on the organization of the essay and on matters of style, diction, grammar, and syntax. この科目は文理学部（学士（文学））のディプロマポリシーDP1 、DP3、DP4、DP5、DP6、DP8、及び、カリキュラムポリシーCP1、CP3、CP4、CP5、CP6、CP8、に対応している。 |
