本課程旨在培養同學獨立進行研究之能力，修習者須將先前所學之專業及相關知識（包含理論、方法及技能）結合，在師生合作的精神下，完成合乎學術標準的論文作品。在本課程中，教師主要任務並非講授具體內容，而在於扮演協助者角色，協助個別學生確定研究主題，依循學術體例進行資料查詢蒐集，並撰寫合乎標準之學術作品。完成後學生必須以口頭報告形式表現其研究成果。

This course aims to cultivate students' ability to conduct independent research. Students must combine previously learned professional and related knowledge (including theories, methods, and skills) to complete a thesis that meets academic standards in the spirit of teacher-student cooperation. In this course, the main task of teachers is not to teach specific content, but to play the role of facilitator to help individual students determine research topics, conduct data inquiry and collection according to academic methods, and write academic works that meet standards. Upon completion, students must present their research results in an oral report.

本課程旨在協助同學如何將前三年所學之專業及相鬧知識（包含理論、方法及技能）結合，在教師授課（如何撰寫論文及注意事項）、同學們參與（教師與同學間交流與互動）之學習過程中，個別學生確定其研究方向與題材，並查詢、蒐集和整理資料，再綜合及撰寫所研究之議題，最後以口頭報告形式（內容紙本另行繳交）表現其研究成果。授課教師除考核個別學生之平日學習成效外，並對每位學生於口頭報告後評分，作為其學期總成績。

This course is designed to help students combine the professional and interactive knowledge they have learned in the first three years (including theories, methods and skills). In the learning process of teacher teaching (how to write a paper and precautions) and student participation (communication and interaction between teachers and classmates), individual students determine their research direction and subject matter, query, collect and organize information, then synthesize and write about the researched topic, and finally present their research results in the form of an oral report (the paper of the content must be submitted separately). In addition to assessing the daily learning performance of individual students, teachers will also grade each student after their oral report as their total semester grade.
