 課程目標
1. 本課程的目的在於提供（1）有效的指導關係必須具備的基本概念，以及（2）推進論文計畫書實質進度需要的時程，協助修課同學於學期末撰寫出合格的論文計畫書（proposal）初稿。
2. 本課程採取「化整為零、循序漸進、零存整付」的設計，抽離研究計畫書的要素，再分別聚焦於這些元素進行實作，以求學習效益及論文計畫書實質進度的極大化。修課要求
1. 修課限制：已確認論文指導老師之碩博士生（本課程根據「指導教授確認書」採人工加退選）
2. 建議最適修課條件：
1) 已修過「量性研究方法」或「質性研究方法」。
2) 預定本學期提交論文計畫書者。
3) 本學期修課學分不超過六學分。
3. 視人數開放已修過該課程者旁聽。旁聽者須負責計時及教學設備準備，報告權利及義務視修課人數決定。

 Course objectives
1. The purpose of this course is to provide (1) the basic concepts necessary for an effective mentoring relationship, and (2) the time required to advance the actual progress of the thesis proposal, and to assist students in the course to write a qualified first draft of the thesis proposal by the end of the semester.
2. This course adopts the design of "breaking it into parts, proceeding step by step, and paying it all in one piece". It abstracts away the elements of the research proposal and then focuses on these elements for implementation in order to maximize the learning effect and the actual progress of the thesis proposal. Course requirements
1. Course enrollment restrictions: Master's and doctoral students who have confirmed their thesis advisor (this course adopts manual addition and withdrawal based on the "Advisor's Confirmation Letter")
2. Suggested optimal course conditions:
1) Have taken "Quantitative Research Methods" or "Qualitative Research Methods".
2) Those who plan to submit a thesis proposal this semester.
3) The number of course credits taken this semester shall not exceed six credits.
3. Depending on the number of people, the course is open to those who have taken the course. Observers must be responsible for timing and preparation of teaching equipment. Reporting rights and obligations depend on the number of students taking the course.

讓研究生透過課堂與觀摩他人論文瞭解如何撰寫學術論文．

Let graduate students learn how to write academic papers through classes and observing other people's papers.
