read: sotsuron happyoo
meaning: final presentation
I attended B4 (forth year undergraduate students) sotsuron happyoo (as one of the requirements to graduate) today. Completely different to my home university final presentation, or we call it "sidang tugas akhir". In my home university, one may spend an hour (or even more) for the whole presentation. Three to four lecturers sit in front of you, listening then asking you a bunch of questions almost to every detail. --Actually I don't really know about this, I have just attended my seniors' presentation twice, and I hope that I myself will have experienced this by next year.
In sotsuron happyou today, from 9:00 to 11:44, about 15 students from three different labs (my lab and other two) did the presentation together hosted by one of them. No special place for the professors so that they didn't look like judges ;p Each student did his presentation about his final project in 7 minutes, then next 4 minutes for questions & answers section. It was really like a second, and sometimes the presenter spoke very fast to catch all of what he wanted to say in very short time (there was even a time keeper to ring the bell!)
Different cultures --what culture?!.. work culture? ;)
Maybe that is why that system is applicable here. Well, not really have any idea of the reasons. --I'm waiting for anybody to comment on. So what do you think?

I also found it a little weird at first, but I also found that Japanese system emphasizes on the process of learning and reasoning. It is more like Kinetics than Thermodynamics. We learn through the whole process (by doing zemi regularly in the lab-- it's the difficult part) and sotsuron happyou is one of the qualifications required to get the degree. Well.. it's just my personal opinion...
Blog-nya bagus banget :) Saya suka :)
Yoroshiku ne :)
Zemi..zemi..zemi..zzzz
--as sometimes it is the best time to sleep :p
But I agree that sensei always keeps the project on the right track. Thanks a lot for the comment.
Punten --kalau ternyata pernah dan saya lupa, kita pernah ketemu sebelumnya ga, ya? :)
hehehe..actually it is a "atari mae na koto" in Japan. First, when you see the word "happyou", it means " presentation" not "sidang" like most indonesian students used to call their judgement days :D. To have a right to present your research, you have to get a result from what you`re doing in the lab. That means there are a lot of process before the happyou like zemi(your favorite activity :p),kenkyuu, etc which I believe they are more more scary than the happyou :p. And also, if you can do the happyou, that means you unformally graduate from the course (In case of bachelor degree). So, it is just a little part of the process.
iro iro koto toku ni nihon deno syunkan wakatte, ii benkyou jya nai :)
