Prof. Toma explains about SDM
The SDM Information Session targeting potential SDM applicants for next year was held on August 7 at Hiyoshi Campus. The session, the third one this year, was held on Saturday so that working people could attend. It attracted 33 potential students. A total of 125 people (of which 40% are employed full-time) have attended the three sessions combined. Non-Japanese ALPS instructors, including Prof. Kurt Beiter from Stanford University, joined the session, just as they had in May, to explain the attractive features of ALPS. Prof. Shinichiro Haruyama showed a video of an actual ALPS class. This session focused on the viewpoints of potential applicants and featured a video showing how an SDM working student utilized the skills he acquired at SDM in job interviews. In the questionnaire distributed after the session (83% response rate) 96% of the attendees rated the session as "very good" (62%) or "generally good" (34%). Comments included "it explained SDM's appeal well", "providing students' direct opinions was helpful," and "I appreciated that I could directly talk to professors."
