学修の目的と方法

授業の概要 Acquiring, integrating, and sharing basic knowledge of agriculture and ecology are paramount factors in the ever-changing world. In this aspect, disseminating modern technology and communication among nations is vital for developing sustainable agriculture. Further, most international organizations, academic institutions, and agribusiness widely use English as their language of instruction. Therefore, this course aims to strengthen the fundamental knowledge of crop science, ecology, climate change, ozone depletion, agricultural economics, sustainable development practices, statistics, and analytical methods in English medium. At the end of this course, students will improve their fundamental knowledge of the abovementioned fields, understand various kinds of scientific literature, and apply their expertise to agriculture and environment-related problems globally while using scientific English to communicate this knowledge.
学修の目的 To provide fundamentals of crop science, ecology, sustainable agriculture, and statistical analysis in English.
To produce ideas in an acceptable written form and extend the vocabulary in English related to the scientific fields mentioned above.
To improve communication skills in English by practicing analysis, critical thinking, formal presentations, and discussions.
To develop flexible and versatile human resources in this fast globalizing world.
学修の到達目標 Upon completion of this course, students will be able to:
・Improve the fundamental knowledge of crop science, ecology, sustainable agriculture, and statistical analysis.
・Follow lectures conducted in English.
・Learn scientific English, gather the required information, and write them in formal reports.
・Present scientific information (PowerPoint, poster, etc.) and have constructive discussions in English.
・Involve in national & international research and projects.
