Advising Statement

If you would like to consider me as your advisor:

Graduate students who would like to consider me as the primary adviser must meet two requirements: 1. take at least one of my graduate-level courses; and 2. discuss with me regarding your research plan by the end of their third semester in NCCU.

要找我擔任碩博士論文的指導教授，請先修過我的課再來詢問。若要找我當碩士論文指導教授，請在碩二上學期結束前跟我討論，逾時請另就高明。由於國科會大專生研究計畫幾乎是推甄研究所上榜的保證，因此，我只收有打算繼續攻讀研究所的計畫生；換言之，如果你大學畢業後不打算念研究所，就請不要找我擔任國科會大專生研究計畫的指導教授。

If you would like to consider me as your thesis/dissertation committee member:

I am happy to be a committee member for a graduate student's M.A. thesis or Ph.D. dissertation.  During the oral defense, I always concern whether your work has addressed the following points:

1. It provides specific research questions and discusses why these questions matter for the state and society.
2. It provides relevant literature review and specifies the gaps in the literature  that  your study aims to address.
3. It discusses how your study relies on a particular theory and adopts certain empirical research design to address the gaps in the literature mentioned above.
4. It provides academic justification about the case selection for the empirical analysis.
5. It states how the research findings make unique theoretical and empirical contributions in the existing literature.

若要找我擔任論文口試委員，我在口試時一定會問你的論文是否有確實處理到下列各點：

一、提出明確的研究問題，並說明這個研究問題對於政府與人民有何重要性。
二、提供切題的文獻回顧，並指出本論文想要處理的既有文獻不足之處。
三、討論本論文要如何運用特定理論與採取特定實證研究設計來處理上述的文獻不足之處。
四、闡述本論文實證分析所選擇的案例有何學術上的重要性。
五、說明本論文的研究發現對於既有文獻有何獨特的理論與實證貢獻。
