Procedures for conducting the evaluation of achievement (competence evaluation)
Procedures for conducting the achievement evaluation (competence evaluation) in theDegree Programs in Comprehensive Human Sciences are as follows:
Early Completion Program students and students who are deemed appropriate to apply forearly completion are required to have the same level of achievement at the time of completionas standard-completion students.
１．Overview of the achievement evaluation
1) Since it is necessary to fulfill both generic/degree program competencies for completion,
the achievement evaluation is measured by "generic competency" and "degree program
competency (specific competency)".
2) The achievement evaluation shall be conducted in the degree program as a prerequisite
for the final examination for the requirements for completion as stipulated in theacademic regulations.
3) The degree program shall inform students in advance of the meaning, the method ofimplementation, and the timing of implementation of the achievement evaluation, andshall implement it appropriately according to the students' stage of study.
4) The acquisition of competence shall be evaluated based on the student's self-evaluation
for the achievement evaluation, and the procedure for this purpose shall be thecompetence evaluation.
２．Time of achievement evaluation
１）The timing shall normally be conducted at least once a year, and shall be conducted
at least twice before completion of the course.
3. Procedures for evaluation of achievement
１）Degree programs develop a competence evaluation chart that clearly indicates thecorrespondence between the specific competencies of the degree program in question
and the corresponding major studies, based on the curriculum map established by thedegree program.
２）At the timing set by the degree program, students complete a self-evaluation based onthe competence evaluation method set by the place of submission destination set by
the degree program.
３）A committee, etc. established by the degree program evaluates the student'sachievement based on the competence evaluation chart and discloses it to the student.
４）2) and 3) are conducted multiple times by the time of completion of the course, tohelp students plan their coursework and gain major academic experience, such asconference presentations and TAs.
５）At a specified timing prior to the dissertation application, the student completes a
final self-evaluation of his/her achievement and submits it to the place of submission
established by the degree program. A committee, etc. established by the degree
program evaluates the student's achievement based on the competence evaluation
chart and discloses it to the Chair.
６）The Chair verifies that the student has met standards for acquiring all competences
and reports the results of the achievement evaluation to the thesis review committee.
７）The thesis review committee will conduct a final examination based on the results of
the achievement evaluation and the oral examination to determine whether thestudent has passed.
８）The Degree Programs Steering Committee circulates and certifies the reports
submitted by the Chair, including the thesis review.
