東京理科大学 情報工学科技術英語: Final presentations・期末発表

Hello!

How are you? Here is our final presentation assignment. 

Once again, I am very sorry to post this later than what I had planned! While we still have a lot of time left in our course this semester, I had intended to post this on the day of the class this week. Please accept my apologies once again on posting this late!

Topic & task

Select an area or issue of AI (artificial intelligence), IT, the internet or the World Wide Web – for example: 

• a technical area of AI or IT – for example, how AI or IT can play a role in different areas of society and culture, such as medical care, or education, or even the arts – or –

• a general issue about the pros and cons of regulating the internet by governments or public or private organizations – or –

• a specific issue on the internet/WWW – for example, how to regulate fake news and spread of misinformation, or whether or not governments should intervene wherever there is any publicly harmful content on the internet

Along with this, develop a short, 5-6 minute presentation about your topic, including methodologies and results, and also your opinions and suggestions, on implications and directions of what your topic subject is about.  

As one example – on the issue of regulation of the internet: If you believe that the internet does not need to be regulated by local or national governments, state your opinion about it – but do not stop there. Exactly why, in your view, does it not need to be regulated? What research and studies, or journalistic investigations, can you find about the dangers of outside organizations regulating the internet?

Or by contrast – is regulation by bodies such as government organizations, or even through governmental law-making itself, necessary to keep the internet and WWW a safe area? What actions of internet regulation on such public levels have been taken in some countries?




Guidelines

You have a choice of making a Power Point or other digital display, as we have done before, with a summary that shows some background to the area or issue with any research or investigative reports about the area or issue, plus a statement on what you will focus on in your presentation. In addition, you will also develop an outline for your topic showing main and supporting ideas, and points of details of the topic.

Deadline (締め切り) 

We will turn in the summaries and outlines, and do the presentations, on January 22nd (1/22), so you have more than one month to do these. 

During our planning and preparation time, I will allow you to bring in your devices (laptops and/or tablets) and work in class, with my guidance and some supporting paper material and blogposts, to develop your summaries, outlines, and spoken presentation delivery. 

Good luck! I look forward to seeing your choices of topics, and helping you to develop them.
