授業の概要と方法

【Class Theme】Culture and science in German-speaking regions

There are great influences by German on the Japanese culture and science since Meiji period, when Prussia was a prominent country in the Europe. After the World War 2, USA occupies the priority position in the natural sciences instead of Germany. However, Germany is still significantly contributing to the science and culture in the world. Targets of this seminar are the students who have interest on the science and culture in Germany and German-speaking regions. To deeply understand them, the lecturer gives a view points and materials about the perspectives in each seminar. Based on them, the students discuss with other student and the lecturer to achieve deep comprehension. During the lectures, each student select her/his own topic or theme and prepare a report by collecting references (literatures or web searches). In the final seminars, the students present their reports using slides and discuss about them with each other. A review and comments of the presentation will be provided as feedback via manaba+R.

Style: This course is based on live-streamed classes via Zoom.
