授業外学習の指示
Students are expected to study about 4 hours before or after each class meeting. Out-of-class work includes class preparation, post class review, research, and group and individual works along with any assignments. Generally, any homework, including reading assignments, are important during class discussion and activities, hence should be done prior. All “ required readings” listed in the course syllabus will help students in understanding the theme for each session. It is the students’ responsibility to keep up with the readings so that they can participate in class discussion, hence reading them should be done prior to class. Most readings have free access, if not they are available in the library.
Students will submit their assignments, essays, projects, and surveys either through Manaba+R or University Email Address. Class announcements and reminders will be posted through Manaba+R. Therefore, familiarize yourself in Manaba+R and check your university emails. If students fail to submit assignments, tests, essays, and other related class requirements that will be announced through Manaba+R or university email due to failure in checking their Manaba+R or university emails, then students will not be considered excused and will get an F letter grade. All checked and graded written assignments, papers, or essays will be returned through Manaba+R. Feedback are also included in the returned submissions.
Other Expectations
1. Read and understand the Course Syllabus Handout. It will be used throughout the course. Writing guidelines, detailed course contents, submission deadlines, course schedule, and other important information about the course can be found in the Course Syllabus Handout. The content will not change. If there will be changes, it will be announced in Manaba+R course news.
2. Schedules, Deadlines and course requirements indicated in the course syllabus handout will not change unless extraordinary circumstances happened. On the other hand, deadlines and course requirements announced during the class are negotiable/flexible, but students need to initiate the negotiation with the instructor and with acceptable reasons.
3. If you have questions, suggestions, clarification, or personal concerns about the course which you have not/couldn’t addressed/address during the class, please contact your instructors for an out-of-class consultation. It is highly encouraged and is expected that you communicate proactively with your Instructor. But please do this during working hours, not at midnight.
4. Learning at University is different from High school. Please be prepared emotionally and mentally and adjust your learning expectations accordingly. Please watch this video: https://youtu.be/_U_oY6O-frQ

成績評価方法(備考)
Essay quizzes (20%) will be used to achieve course objectives 2 and 3. There will be 2 essay quizzes.
Students will complete a final group project (40%) in which they will plan, implement, and report their community engagement (within Ritsumeikan University or surrounding community) to help achieve their SDG/s of interest. The final group project will help students attain all four course objectives.
Final exam (10%) will be given at the last session of the course to assess students’ mastery of the global issues discussed under each SDG. Based on the final exam result, students will receive feedback which will help them identify their strengths and guide them in deciding their future career path. Final exam will further help accomplish the main goal of the course.
受講および研究に関するアドバイス
The Global Issues in SDGs will be looked at through the perspective of Science and Technology (Science-based approach on various social, political, or economic issues).
Students are EXPECTED to be proactively involved in activities and projects which require group effort. Failure to contribute to the group activities, ESPECIALLY the GROUP PROJECT, means "F" as Final Grade. Approach your Professor before the start or after the end of the class if you have problems either to individual requirements or group projects.
Late final group project will be penalized 5% per late-day. For example, if the capsule proposal paper is worth 95%, but one day late, then the paper will receive 90% grade instead. Submissions will not be accepted after 10 days of being late. This policy applies to all assignment, essay or other submission including PPT slide submission for group presentation. However, this rule does not apply if students are seriously ill or in an emergency. It is the responsibility of students to proactively inform me of such circumstances and you will be asked to present a proof.
Students are also responsible in securing the submission of correct files through Manaba+R. Students are responsible in double checking the successful submission of the correct uncorrupted files in Manaba+R before the deadline. Submitted files or Surveys showing “Saved Data” in Manaba+R are considered “NOT SUBMITTED” and will be graded ZERO unless resubmitted within time limit. The Professor WILL NOT ask or remind students if they have successfully submitted the correct uncorrupted file of their assignments, presentations, tests, or papers before the deadline. It is the student’s responsibility in making sure that they successfully submitted their works. Failure to properly submit will result to ZERO score. .
All submitted papers will be checked with Turnitin to detect plagiarism. Using Turnitin, you will know the percentage similarities of your paper in comparison to all online resources. If percentage similarities are found to be 15% or less, no further checking for plagiarism will be done. If percentage similarities are found to be 16% to 24%, revisions to work are highly encouraged before submission or further explanation from student and paper scrutiny will be done after paper submission. Percentage similarities of 25% or higher have high probability of plagiarism. Please revise until the percentage similarity is 15% or less before submitting the final version.

We will be using 7th APA referencing and citation style when writing your papers. Please visit the link below for further details.

Academic integrity matters!
Violations of ethical conduct that relate to academic integrity will be punished according to our university's regulation. Academic integrity violations include, but are not limited to; plagiarism, work done for one course and submitted to another, deliberate falsification of data and interference with other student’s work.
