授業の概要
／Course outline		 This course aims to provide training on strategies and techniques for giving a successful talk at an international scientific conference, and be able to freely communicate successfully with the international academic and professional community on a CS related topic. Students will be taught to focus on what is important, highlighting the bold outcomes and results is the key here. This class is designed to give students training and experience in delivering effective oral presentations in various academic and professional settings. Further, the purpose of the course is also to engage students in working towards a final paper (the final paper is not part of the course in itself), and in the process gain effective communications management strategies in an intercultural context and develop project management skills.

In particular you will learn:
1. How to deliver a presentation on a specific topic with relevance to both technical and societal importance.
2. Communicate with foreign communities on a research topic.
3. How to prepare and structure an oral presentation
4. How to carry a general and/or specific conversation in English
5. How to develop confidence when speaking in English
6. How to define presentation aims
7. How to make yourself understood
8. How to use presentation tools and media effectively
9. How to prepare for, ask questions to the presenter, and respond to questions from the audience.

The training also consists of actual participation in an international conference, working on different conference-related networking activities, potentially writing a full paper for the conference (as the end product but not included in course grade), and making a conference presentation in a project framework.

Training will include theoretical inputs, exercises, best-practice examples, feedback and discussions. The focus, however, will be on practical exercises with student-interest topics.

Content:
• Benefits and challenges of oral presentations
• Planning, preparing and structuring the presentation
• Defining your presentation audience, aims and key message
• Use of verbal language and body language
• Use of media and visuals (beyond PowerPoint)
• Rehearsing, revising and improving the presentation
• Dealing with questions, discussions and feedback
• How to avoid common mistakes

／Course outline		 Achievement of students may be recognized as having earned the academic credits for this seminar by reporting following cases to the Dean of the Graduate School.

A submitted paper as the first author which was accepted for publication in a scientific journal.
A presentation of research results which was made as an oral presenter or presenter at a poster in an academic conference, a symposium, or a work shop, etc. (excluding those organized solely by the UoA)
They do not necessarily need to be the first author of a relevant paper in this case.
In case of publication in a scientific journal or presentation at a refereed academic conference, at least one presentation, and in case of publication in a non-refereed journal or presentation at a non-refereed conference, at least two presentations will be required. In case of publications in non-refereed journals or presentations at non-refereed conferences, the substantive contents shall be different. Similar presentations/publications may be counted as one.
Students may apply for credits of this seminar based on the paper written under the supervision of faculty member of the University of Aizu and submitted before the admission to the University of Aizu Graduate School. In this case, though, the publication or oral/poster presentation must be made after the admission to the Graduate School.

In principle, multiple use of the same achievement is not permitted. Therefore, it is not possible to use the same achievement for this seminar and for the application for early completion of Master's Program and apply for both. However, the students in Honors Program Type A (4+1) is excluded.
*In the case of other courses that students are required to present and publish their work as part of the course, credit for the course and for the external presentation seminar will not be granted in duplicate.

When reporting, students will first prepare the "Report for External Presentation/Publication Seminar" and submit this form together with information of relevant journals or conferences (a title page of the journal, a "Call-for-Paper" announcement and a conference/meeting program, etc.), a letter of acceptance (for refereed papers), a copy of the paper published, materials used for presentation (slides, etc.). Limited to refereed journal papers, students can apply for the academic credits prior to publication of relevant papers if they submit a letter of acceptance of the paper.
Application for recognition of academic credits for the above mentioned publication/presentation will be accepted at any time. Earning of these academic credits will become official as of the date of finalization of academic grades for the quarter when these academic credits were authorized by the Graduate School Academic Affairs Committee. The academic grade for all applicants recognized as having earned academic credits in this manner will be "A." Students are not required to register for the course by themselves.
Students can earn academic credits in this manner just once during their enrollment in the Master's Program.

Advance application for recognition of academic credits for external presentations will be accepted only if the applicant satisfies the following conditions:
- Acquisition of academic credits from this seminar course is critical for the applicant to undergo the judgment regarding authorization for completion of the Master's Program;
- The said external presentation will actually take place before the judgment regarding authorization for completion of the Master's Program is conducted; and
- The applicant can prepare the above-mentioned form, "Report for External Presentation/Publication Seminar" (1-3-m14), after his/her presentation. Applicants are required to prepare "Advance Application for External Presentation/Publication Seminar" (1-3-m13) and submit this form along with other evidence for the date and contents of their presentations, for example, a presentation program or a certificate of registration. In addition, these applicants, immediately following completion of their presentations, must submit the "Report for External Presentation/Publication Seminar" (1-3-m14).
