This course is designed to help students develop critical thinking skills by a careful and in-depth reading of books and academic papers and then discussing them in a learning environment. Topics to be discussed will be chosen from a wide variety of space plasma related fields, such as nonlinear waves and turbulence in space plasmas, collision-less shocks, cosmic rays, and space weather. Via active participation in the course, students will not only deepen their understanding of the subjects but also will acquire practical skills to produce original academic papers.
