JAPN 403: Pre-Capstone
This course aims to develop advanced proficiency in communication through oral and written presentations to develop research project for Capstone in Japanese using appropriate media.
Course Narrative
In this course, we initially learned how to create research and survey questions using completed Capstone topics, and through group discussion, came to decide on our own research topics. We collaborated with one another and used the university's library software and Zotero in order to collect and log resources. Throughout the semester, we developed presentations displaying our research topic, a literature review, and created a survey using Google Forms in order to collect more information to use in our analysis (presentation is linked below). I have decided to focus on the differences of college dating practices and values in Japan and the United States. I learned how to better utilize university resources, as well as the importance of peer review when developing and distributing surveys. I will continue my research next semester, in which I will continue researching the same topic, but will also translate what I have completed so far into Japanese.
