• Seminar I (for Master's Students)
  • Students must attend 5 or more classes during 1st and 2nd quarters and 　5 or more classes during 3rd and 4th quarters.
    Those who fail to fulfill the condition cannot get a credit but their attending times can be counted to the calculation of their next year program.

  • Students who fulfill both conditions below can get a credit.
    1. To have made two or more presentations. See Presentation Guideline.
    2. To have attended others’ presentations of Seminar II more than 15 times besides your presentation.
    If you are planning to complete your Doctoral Program in less than 3 years and do not have the chance to attend the mandated number of times, please consult your supervisor.
• How many times have you attended so far ?
  • Ask at the Information Science Office.

Prepare your presentations as follows.

• Disclose your presentation title and abstract at least a week in advance. An adequate abstract will make the audience understand well. Follow the Procedure to diclose your presentation title and abstract for Seminar II
• Presentation time
  • Master's 1st presentation (M1): Presentation: 10 min. Q&A: 5 min.
  • Master's 2nd presentation (M2): Presentation: 12 min. Q&A: 8 min.
  • Doctoral midterm presentation (D2): Presentation: 20min. Q&A: 10 min.
• Preparation points
  • How and why you started your research.
  • Research objectives
  • Related research
  • Research method (analysis, experiments)
  • Progress situation
  • What remains to be done
  The points above are for the 2nd presentation but you must always be concerned about these points from the beginning.
• Presenters, audience, chairs must follow Attending attitude.

In Seminar II, students make a presentation of their own research. They must give a 1st presentation 6 month after enrollment, and a 2nd presentation a year later than the 1st one or 6 months before their graduation. Students must disclose the presentation title and abstract at least a week in advance. If they fail to do so, the presentation may not be admitted.

1. Copy a template.html file from the following directories to your working registry and rename it as [Student No.].html. For example, if your Student No. is 0461099, your file name must be 0461099.html.
   For a presentation given from April to July:
     /mandara/guide/Web/NAIST/IS/Curriculum/11/Seminar/Student/html/
   For a 1st presentation given from September to December or given by students in the fall enrollment:
     /mandara/guide/Web/NAIST/IS/Curriculum/11/Seminar/Student-1/html/
   For a 2nd presentation given from September to December or given by students of Bioinformatics and Genomics, or a midterm presentation of a Doctoral student:
     /mandara/guide/Web/NAIST/IS/Curriculum/11/Seminar/Student-2/html/
   
   
2. Open your html file and fill out the title and abstract and save the file.
   
   
3. Put your file in the original directory where you found the template file.
   
   
4. Check the site below:
     http://isw3.naist.jp/IS/Curriculum/11/Seminar/index.html
   And click your title and check your page.

The first aim of Seminar presentation is to widen your perspective and train your presentation and communication abilities.

So try to provide a comprehensible presentation and also try to ask many questions and discuss the presentation with each other. To complete this aim, try to understand research activities carried out in this school with each other and gain experience with debate and discussions. Students are given priority as questioners. So, chairs not only get comments from sub-research advisors, but also have to facilitate all the students to join the discussion instead of just relying on the sub-research advisors.

The chair calls on a questioner, who then gives their occupation and name, asks questions and presents opinions. The chair is responsible to control time.

Questions are categorized in two groups. One is to clarify the concept or how to interpret the data, which helps not only the questioner but also audience members from different study fields to understand the research. Another is to present your own opinion, idea, and future problems to be solved, and ask about solutions, which can be really helpful for the next research step. Discussion, pros and cons, also makes research more constructive and helps with progress.

Although in academic conferences and doctoral defense, it is understandable that you might hesitate to ask questions in crowds because of a lack of confidence in your own knowledge, the Seminar is a place to train yourself and not a rehearsal for a conference. So do not hesitate to take advantage of discussion and debate.
