授業の進め方と方法Method(s)（学期の途中で変更になる場合には、別途提示します。 /If the Method(s) is changed, we will announce the details of any changes. ）
This lower-level graduate course will enable students to become familiar with the fundamentals of the writing process: from brainstorming and note-making, through the organisational stages to the final editing and proofreading of a completed piece of work. During the course, students will be expected to hone their writing skills by submitting regular summaries and discussion documents on topical global political issues. Regular ‘language clinics’ will help to minimize common organizational, grammatical and stylistic errors. Most of the actual writing will be done outside of the classroom, with time set aside during the lessons for discussion, peer group evaluation and a variety of other activities.
* Important: Depending upon the COVID-19 situation, part or all of this course may be conducted online. As such, this syllabus is flexible and changes may occur. If online, Zoom will be the main platform used. Students will need a device that is connected to the internet and familiarity with Zoom protocol.
Feedback for homework and other assignments will be provided via Zoom and email, as well as during class (if the lessons are face-to-face)
