Basic courses on doing research and writing papers are taught at the beginning of the program. They teach things very concretely（具体地） and clearly. Students are expected to apply what they have learned to their studies.
Classes are usually divided into lectures and seminars. There are some lecture classes, where the teacher just gives a lecture, and students ask questions at the end.
