This course is an important elective course for the Department of Political Science and is also the basis for thesis writing methods. The progress of the weekly course is that each student reads the designated textbook with three stars, and is divided into two or three groups to read the selected textbook with two stars. You must attend class on time. If you cannot attend, you must ask for leave in advance, otherwise it will be regarded as an unexcused absence. The mid-term test method is to ask students to bring an academic paper related to their research project and use a computer to type out a research design, which includes research background, problem awareness and research questions. The number of pages should be within three pages. The final test is to ask students to conduct a literature review and method operation related to their research project. The number of pages should be within three pages. The first half of the first class of the weekly course is led by the teacher, and the second class is for article reports and discussions. The second half of the second class will cover the format of essay writing, article search and document operations. Grading will be 20% for class participation, 40% for the midterm exam, and 40% for the final exam.
