課程概述與目標: 本課程之設計在於訓練學生的批判思考、學術寫作以及進行研究的能力,協助學生撰寫學期報告,以及進行博碩士論文的提案。透過這門課,學生可以儘早開始論文提案的工作,同時與指導教授討論,進行研究計畫的資料收集以及文獻回顧,以便這學期完成論文提案的草稿。 我們將規劃一系列的課堂作業以及工作坊,帶領學生熟悉圖書館電子資源,收集資料,建立書目,擬定論文主旨、假設、研究問題,撰寫研究背景與文獻回顧、規劃章節大綱,最後完成論文提案或是試寫核心章節。 博士班的同學同時可以挑選進階作業模式,例如規劃授課大綱,撰寫書評,或是研討會評介,以便預備日後學術研究發展的必要訓練。 除了課堂作業之外,我們也將邀請幾次演講,以便學生觀摩學習其他研究者的研究問題意識,研究方法,概念架構,以及論證方式。學生可以在學期初推薦講者,供授課老師參考。 本課程為必修課,3學分。 Course Objectives This course is designed to develop students’ critical thinking, academic paper writing skills, and research abilities for their on-going project and their thesis proposals. Students can choose to develop a thesis proposal to engage with his or her research project in the early stages. In this semester, the instructor will design workshops and assignments to lead students to go through the process: familiarizing electronic resources and citation style, searching research materials, building up working bibliography and annotated bibliography, drafting proposal outlines, thesis statements, note-taking, literature review and research background, introduction, project summary, to the final proposal and/or core chapter. Doctoral students may choose the advanced mode of assignment, such as syllabus design, book review, or conference review, to replace some of the exercises. In addition to the classroom discussions and assignments, we will invite some scholars to give lectures so that students can learn from their problematics, research questions, methodology, conceptual frameworks, and modes of argumentations. Students are welcome to recommend speakers for the instructor to consider. This course is a required course, three credits.
