Discuss with data
Research Themes
Environmental problems arise as a result of economic activity, so in order to solve them, we must consider the relationship between the environment and the economy. To do this, we need to have discussions based on facts and data. In this seminar, students will learn and research step by step from their second year, so that by the time they graduate, they will have mastered basic statistical methods (data processing methods) and will be able to think and discuss various issues related to the environment and the economy based on data. In addition to mastering statistical methods, we also place emphasis on discussing with other seminar students based on facts and data.
Activities
The seminar mainly focuses on classroom study, such as carefully reading books on environmental issues and data processing methods, solving practice problems related to data processing, and actually analyzing data using Excel. It can be said that the seminar is characterized by thorough "unglamorous study." However, there are occasions when participants go outside the university to take part in field trips, etc. Furthermore, if the participants' wishes and direction are aligned, the entire seminar will undertake a project in which they conduct a field survey on a single theme and analyze the data obtained.
