Learning Performance

1. Definition: The student shows strong interest and engagement in learning knowledge across diverse fields.
2. Connection with future performance: University study requires self-directed extension of learning and a grasp of foundational knowledge. Learning motivation will help students adapt to and learn from the Department’s interdisciplinary curriculum.
3. Appropriate materials for review: Evaluate the student’s Course Records, including (1) the depth and breadth of fields covered by courses and (2) good performance across diverse fields. Overall learning motivation may also be evaluated from the overall academic score. School learning records and performance, writing/learning achievements (such as certificates, various short papers, works, school publications, projects, reading reflections, and similar materials), or other displays sufficient to demonstrate learning outcomes may also be considered.
