Review of literature and preparation for writing master's theses on regional analysis and regional revitalization

　The final objective of this seminar is to compile a master's thesis on regional analysis and regional revitalization.
　Therefore, by sharing an outline of the theme of each master's thesis and reading multiple references in turn, and exchanging opinions in accordance with the theme, we will effectively and efficiently promote the deepening and materialization of the theme. We will also conduct objective regional analysis based on data using RESAS, etc. to build the foundation for master's theses.
　By repeating this process, you will be ready to write your master's thesis. As the writing progresses, we will provide detailed guidance on the thesis.
　For adult students who are concerned about writing a thesis, we will provide guidance in a wide range of research fields based on the experience of the lecturer (He was sent to graduate school as a local government employee and wrote a master's thesis.), including basic parts such as how to set a theme, how to look up references, how to compose a thesis, and how to set a schedule.

1. You can gradually narrow down the theme of your master's thesis and link it to writing.
2. You can read the literature you need and highlight your own opinions
3. Data can be analyzed using RESAS, etc.
4. be able to write a master's thesis

<Implementation of online seminars>
It is conducted in a remote seminar (simultaneous bidirectional type) using a zoom and a non-face-to-face seminar (media) (Questions and answers are also held in zoom.). The distribution of lesson materials and seminars use files posted on ToyoNet-Ace, so terminals and Internet environments that support these are required.

1. Theme selection for master's thesis (in advance)
2. Work to read and compile literature (in advance)
3. Regional Analysis Tasks (in advance)
4. Corrective Actions for Reporting (ex post)
5. Master's Thesis Work (ex ante and ex post facto)

　I want you to do the above study according to the theme of the seminar every time. Post hoc learning is also used to prepare for the next lesson, and it takes about 180 minutes on average each time.

Grades will be assessed in accordance with the "Toyo University Achievement Criteria" and details will be as follows.
　In order to enhance the contribution to the master's thesis, the evaluation criteria shall include the degree of relevance to the problem, the uniqueness and reasonableness of the report content, and high motivation for discussion.
　1. Report in the literature 50%
　2. Theme report (Focusing on the degree of development after revision) 50%
