Presentation about “conflict” and project meeting

In this semester, we already have had 11^th weeks. We have only 4 weeks until  the summer vacation. This week, we had the final presentation whose theme was conflict. The presenters were Yuri and Natsumi. “Have you ever suffered from conflicts?” This question opened the presentation. The presenters mainly divided this topic into two parts, the background and ending of conflict. They used some pictures in the powerpoint slides. Moreover, Yuri showed us a short movie which described some types of conflicts. If you are interested in the movie, check out this URL and think how many types of conflicts there are.

 

 

 

After the presentation, some questions are asked to the presenters. The quality of our questions were much much better than that of previous ones! These questions made us consider the theory of conflict deeply.

As usual, we had project meeting after the presentation. Each group has their own ideas of our project and we gave some advice to each other. We will improve the ideas based the advice and our first goal is to make a plan to create our free paper before summer vacation.

In addition, our seminar’s official twitter and facebook are established in this week. You are interested in how we create the free paper, aren’t you? If you follow these accounts, you can get the newest information about the free paper, “I”. Why don’t you check them out?

Chance to think about love and our project meeting

On June 12^th, we had 10^th seminar class. I guess the strength of our seminar is a homey atmosphere. Sometimes we do our class with door opened or discuss some topic while playing music. It makes us feel relaxed and our project and discussion go smoothly and actively.

This week, our presentation topic was love which is probably the most interesting theme for us. A presentation made by Haruka (Ikuta) and Miho was fabulous. 

They introduced there types of love using the triangular theory which is consisted of three elements such as intimacy, passion and commitment.

 Finally, they concluded their presentation with the eternal theme “Does love last?” If you really want to know the answer now, why don’t you join our seminar and study together?

In the latter half of the class, we proceeded our project meeting. First, we divided members into three groups in terms of the management of the project such as 1) seeking support money, 2) free paper design, and 3) accounting/advertisement. Second, all the members were divided into another three groups in terms of contents of the free paper such as 1) communication research, 2) information of Nanzan University, and 3) culture. At the end of the class, we selected our project leader, Misaki, and reexamined the further schedule.

In our seminar, we take turn doing presenters and facilitators. So, it is a good opportunity to watch other’s presentation and to be a discussion leader. I can say that we are learning various things through this seminar every week.

Presentation and project meeting

 These days, it becomes warm. However, rainy season is also coming. This week, we had a presentation and project meeting as usual.

Miyako and Risa gave us fantastic presentation. The topic was friendship. Friendship is one of the most important elements in our life, so it was very interesting for us. Slides they made were very easy to understand. At the beginning of this presentation, there was a question, “What is friendship?” This presentation gave us opportunities to think about it. We really enjoyed listening their presentations. Then, there was an interesting discussion question, so I would like to introduce. It was the question such as “what should you do if you love the parson your friend loves?” This Yuri’s question excited us. It’s very complicated question, isn’t it?

After the presentation and question time, we had a project meeting. So far, we have decided purpose, title and subtitle of free paper. Misaki, Miyu and Shiori facilitated our meeting this week. This time, we decided the contents of free paper. We could share many good ideas. Most of contents we shared was connected with our university life or communication. 

In conclusion, this class gave us many opportunities thinking about communication. Sometimes, we are surprised at the facts we didn’t know. These activities such as presentation and project meeting are very profitable. I’m looking forward to creating free paper.
