In November 2006, Hokkaido University held the 9th Workshop on Education. This workshop was introduced to improve the education of Hokkaido University and it has been held once a year since 1998. The main theme of this year’s workshop was to plan courses respecting the requirements for credits more rigidly, observing that the traditional education system of universities in Japan was not strictly based on the convention that a credit corresponds to 45 hours of study by students, including lectures, preparations, reviews, assignments, etc. The workshop had (1) three sessions about planning of courses, each of which consisted of minilectures, small group discussions and a general discussion, and (2) three lectures, one about the purpose of faculty development, one about the meaning of ‘respecting the requirements for credits more strictly,’ and one about academic harrasment. It had 26 participants from all over Hokkaido University, 8 participants from 6 other institutions and 8 people of the task force, including the president of Hokkaido University and a lecturer, that is, 42 people in all. This report contains an explanation about what was done in the workshop, especially the syllabi of the courses worked out in the sessions.
