Description
In my science article reading class at the University of Tokyo, I noticed that many first-year students didn’t read newspapers. I found this a bit worrying, since many of them will probably work or do research in global fields in the future. So I brought in science news articles, mostly from the New York Times, and had students read, discuss, and present in groups. In this talk, I’ll introduce how the class worked and share some student feedback. I also hope to check whether their attitude toward news changed after the course ended.
