The aim of the course is to bring in skills and competency to the student on evaluating the research subject with their experience and knowledge that they gain during their entire graduate degree education. The subject of the research will be determined by both the student and the instructor and will also include theoreticel data or practices of other disciplines such as art, history, sociology, psychology, engineering and basic sciences. The research will be organized as a report and/or a project regarding these data.
