Entrance Examination
In Japan, almost all university entrance tests have written form. But in this course, there are four parts as entrance exams:
- First, the candidates have to take two lectures and to write a report on each of them about the assignment which is given by teacher.
- Second, they should write a short essay, from a choice of six themes: mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology, earth science and sports. And at the same time, candidates have to make a poster to use after next part.
- Third, they have to do the presentation about the poster and every candidate has 5 minutes to show it in front of everyone including the teachers. After the presentations, they have a discussion about their presentation for about 20 minutes.
- The last part of the examination is an individual interview. This lasts approximately 15 minutes, and candidates are asked about not only themselves but also the examination such as the presentation and the discussion.
Many candidates feel it is a very tough exam but they can have a very good experience through the exam.

Famous quotes containing the words entrance and/or examination:
“Every man alone is sincere. At the entrance of a second person, hypocrisy begins. We parry and fend the approach of our fellow-man by compliments, by gossip, by amusements, by affairs. We cover up our thought from him under a hundred folds.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Whilst Marx turned the Hegelian dialectic outwards, making it an instrument with which he could interpret the facts of history and so arrive at an objective science which insists on the translation of theory into action, Kierkegaard, on the other hand, turned the same instruments inwards, for the examination of his own soul or psychology, arriving at a subjective philosophy which involved him in the deepest pessimism and despair of action.”
—Sir Herbert Read (1893–1968)
