Around noon Dr.Suguru Araki stopped by at the Cross Cultual Education Center in which we are staying for stdying, eating, chatting, and listeing to our 老師. By the way, when Dr.Araki came in the office, he told me very important points you cannot miss with regard to reading textbooks.
Now I am reading my textbook 'Essential Readings in World Politics' which is the compilation of many political theorists' essays or documents.
What I learned from Dr.Araki is:
① Read throgh body texts in the textbook and know the main points of them
② Scan notes and references on the back page of body paragraphs to advance your research.
That is much more important to do than ①.
If you are planning to go to a graduate school, it is the essential ability to deepen your knowledge and write your thesis in the future.
This is what Dr.Araki insisted. Although I am now in Step1, reading the main body in the textbook, I hope I can take one step forward for strengthening myself.
