Planned Learning Activities and Teaching Methods

In this course, apart from the lecturer's lectures, students are expected to come to class prepared by reading the articles shared on the Sakai system every week. Therefore, the lecturer uploads first-hand sources in the system every week in accordance with the next course program. Students are expected to read the relevant texts. In addition, since students have to prepare a graduation project within the scope of the course, they often receive consultancy services from the lecturer of the course regarding their research topics outside of class hours.
