The course draws on pre-modern, modern, or contemporary materials, as appropriate, with a view to developing students’ research and bibliographic skills in advanced studies in the humanities and social sciences.

These courses are mainly for postgraduate and Honours students on  
an individual guidance basis.  Students may choose any relevant  
reading materials to their thesis and read them through with an  
instructor.  When there are a few students in class, the same reading  
materials may be chosen by them to read together in one class per  
week.  All classes are entirely conducted in Japanese.

Mid-term take-home examination (summary in Japanese; Japanese to  
English translation; comprehension questions; and Kanji reading) 40%;  
final take-home examination (summary in Japanese; Japanese to English  
translation; comprehension questions; and Kanji reading) 50%; and  
self-assessment 10%. Graduate students may expect a final assignment rather than an exam.

Permission of coordinator

Materials will be selected after consultation between the lecturer and each student.
