Having travelled, studied and worked in a few countries, I thought I experienced diversity before joining the Master of Public Policy at the University of Tokyo. How wrong I was. Fast forward one year, I’ve studied topics from Behavioural Science to Machine Learning through International Relations and Environmental Economics, I’ve met and made friends with classmates from Australia, China, Costa Rica, Germany, India, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Nepal, Philippines, U.S., Singapore, and the list goes on. As I look forward to the next year, I want to share my experience, hoping it can help prospective students. Why Japan? At first, I was not particularly interested in Japan. However, my perspective changed after I was sent to Tokyo for training by a Japanese bank I worked for back in Europe. After the initial visit, Japan got my utmost attention. Further visits always led me to want to know more, until I decided to move there permanently. Life in Japan is always surprising and there are millions of enjoyable things to discover if you are curious and open-minded. Aside from University, the past year has been an inspirational culinary journey for me as Japan offers one of the most diverse food scenes in the world. Irrespective of your cultural background, I believe Japan is an intriguing society from which a lot can be learnt, and it will without a doubt broaden your perspectives. I think this is valuable to grow as a person, particularly if you plan to be involved in policy making. Why the University of Tokyo? The University of Tokyo is one of the top Japanese universities and knowledgeable and recognized Japanese scholars, practitioners and public sector officials teach most courses. During my last semester, I attended classes taught by professors from the Bank of Japan, Ministry of Economy Trade and Industry, Asian Development Bank, International Energy Agency, etc. The University network opens the doors of many interesting local and international events. I attended a two day JICA-IMF seminar, many of my classmates joined a policy challenge in London and others traveled to Europe and Washington D.C. touring international institutions. In addition, as a student of the University of Tokyo, I can access classes from all graduate schools, so I was able to pursue knowledge out from my discipline. I would recommend new students to make the most of their time here and explore new topics of interest. I have been particularly enjoying classes from the Graduate School of Economics such as Quantitative Macroeconomics and Data Science. Why MPP/IP? I originally come from a technical background. Having studied and worked in finance for years, I was interested in building knowledge in social sciences. At the MPP/IP I found a perfect balance between technical topics and policy driven ones. The community is diverse with students freshly out of Bachelor and mid-career professionals from the public sector in Asia. This environment is unique to the MPP/IP and it creates valuable interactions between students, especially during group projects. I particularly enjoyed working on concrete policy issues related to South-East Asia with Indonesian friends, leading me to intern in Jakarta. In addition, the program is globally competitive and students can study abroad for a semester or pursue a double-degree in other top policy schools in the world. I will be joining UCLA for an exchange next year, and it is not uncommon to meet students who will visit other Asian universities during their time with GraSPP through CAMPUS Asia, building a true regional expertise. Lastly, I found it very interesting as a European student to learn about public policy from a Japanese perspective and more broadly Asia, as it brings new dimensions to the topic. I hope my experience in Japan inspires you to explore this country and pursue a public policy degree at The University of Tokyo!

GraSPP introduced online courses at the start of this academic year in April 2020, following the University of Tokyo’s policy to offer all the courses online in order to prioritize the safety of all the students amid the Covid-19 pandemic. Students enrolled in one of the case study courses provide candid feedback on their online learning experience.

Students’ comments listed in alphabetical order of their names in the western naming order

“Very insightful class that helped me better apprehend the complexity and challenges of PPPs; there is no free lunch.” Baptiste Gosson-Brion

“Online classes have been a success from both operational and learning experience perspectives. Most professors adapted quickly to the new environment and managed to offer highly interactive classes despite having to teach online. In addition, it allowed us to attend classes flexibly, irrespective of the campus they are taught at.” Bastien Guilleminot-Simon

“This whole online class experience is definitely a first and a fun experience. Outside the confines of the typical classroom setup, the professor supported by the TA managed to continuously engage the whole class in our course by doing breakout sessions and by asking constant feedbacks from us on how to improve our learning experience.” Chris-John Capili

“The online course provides flexibility for students to discuss certain learning materials through break-out sessions. It seems to be a new norm since these student-led discussions may be rare and difficult to do in traditional classroom.” Febtina Setia Retnani

“Despite the online setting, the class was very interactive, fully utilizing the functions available on Zoom such as breakout sessions.” Hiromi Miyawaki

“I still feel it’s a pity to have online courses. The performance could be better if it’s in a classroom setting.” Huiyan Yang

     

“It was fascinating to conduct the class online, and breakout sessions made group work efficient and easy. I greatly enjoyed the opportunity to see the ways that different groups chose to present with the online medium.” Jeremy De Sheng Jee

“I was doubtful about the effectiveness of classes as it was my first time. However, I appreciate the effort of the professors doing their best to make such virtual classes as lively and interactive as real classroom setting.” Kamal Bahadur Basnet

“This online course is very convenient—actually it reduced commuting time and encouraged those students who were shy to speak more in in-person classes because we were not physically face to face now.” Kuo Yu

“Taking the PPP course was one of the best options I've made this semester. Although every activity was conducted online, we went through every process—including comprehensive lectures, lively discussion based on our classmates' experiences, thought-provoking opinion exchange with practitioners—very smoothly, and gained more insight on possibilities and challenges that the PPP has.” Luka Ishino

“Although I dearly miss having in-person class interactions, I unexpectedly learned as much in online classes.” Natasha Talisca Adrianto

“This is a quite great experience with an introduction of some innovative methodology and multiple options to engage and interact students . Online learning might become new normal.” Rakesh Kumar Chaurasia

“The shift to online classes has been a challenge for me. I felt disconnected from the lectures, and it was hard to ask questions or participate during discussions, as it felt odd and a bit more embarrassing than if we were in a classroom setting. Although the professor did many things in an attempt to replicate classroom discussions (utilizing breakout sessions, paying attention to whether students had hands “raised”), it was still difficult to truly feel engaged with the materials. However, because classes were conducted online, I decided to take several period 6 classes that I would not have taken if they were not conducted online.” Sara O'Malley

“A combination of teaching design and various functions of Zoom makes the online course experience interesting, informative and interactive.” Wanling Song

“At first, it was difficult to adapt to the new medium and engage in discussions on Zoom without feeling awkward. However, both Professor and Qonita have put in hard work to make the class interactive and engaging, especially with interesting breakout group sessions, and I have thoroughly enjoyed and learnt a lot from this class (though I also eagerly await the return to in-person classes!).” Veronica Ern Hui Wee

***

“I have worked as a Teaching Assistant (TA) for two courses in the previous semester, with tasks and responsibilities varying from giving weekly review lectures to supporting administrative issues. However, COVID-19 has changed the shape of education in Japan, as the course is becoming online-based. Here, I am so fortunate to have a chance to be a TA in one of Professor Nishizawa’s classes during this pandemic situation. This course was extensive and full of fruitful discussion. He was always open-minded to take my opinion into consideration for class improvement. Despite the challenges in communication technology, new ideas emerged on how to run the class into more than just a lecture. I was given chances to manage breakout group discussions and presentation virtually, which eventually helped improve my time management and other soft skills. Therefore, I am so thankful for this opportunity.” Qonita Rahmah

***

“GraSPP has been offering online courses since the start of this semester in early April. Although we missed opportunities to offer in-person classes with social closeness, our online courses helped ensure all students the chance of learning without risking their safety while encouraging faculty members to explore innovative teaching methods beyond physical and geographical distances. There remains, however, much room for improvement—for example, my instruction to students could have been much clearer and given well in advance to avoid student confusion, and regular student feedback should have been used for me to set the pace and to adjust student workload. I am grateful to students for their patience and active participation in discussion to give me an exciting learning opportunity and to Qonita, the course TA, for her dedication and support with a great attention to detail.” Toshiro Nishizawa

国際貿易を専門分野とし、特に政策提言に活用できる国際貿易の定量モデルを構築するため、モデルの理論的基礎に重点を置いた研究に取り組んでいます。現在広く使われているモデルは、自由貿易の最適性には疑いがないと予測しますが、これは現実を正しく反映していません。自由貿易が最適であるとの結論は、モデルが実社会の特徴を必ずしもすべて組み込んでいないためです。私は、実社会の課題に取り組むための優れた政策提言に役立つ、現実をより良く反映したモデルの開発を目指しています。   I grew up in Kazakhstan during very difficult times in the 90s after the collapse of the Soviet Union. I was always fascinated by world events, and everything I was observing and living through stimulated my interest in macroeconomics. At first, I earned a degree in software engineering at Novosibirsk State University in Russia. I had always been strong in mathematics and software engineering was an obvious way to start working as early as possible. After a few years of working, however, I decided to change course and earned a master’s degree in economics at the New Economic School, Russia, before going on to obtain a PhD in economics at Pennsylvania State University. I ended up coming to the University of Tokyo five years ago, first working at the Graduate School of Economics. I have now been at GraSPP for two years. Besides the good fit with my research interests, I was also attracted by the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to work in Japan and felt that living in what, to me, was a very different environment would intrinsically make me a better and more open-minded person. My original interest was in macroeconomics, such as central banking and finance from an economic perspective, but when I was at Pennsylvania State University, I ended up moving to international trade. Within that, my research field is building quantitative models of international trade that can be used for policy recommendations and I especially focus on the theoretical foundations of those models. Due to my academic background, I have been trained to believe that trade and markets should be free, but of course, unchecked liberalization or globalization of markets could lead to negative outcomes. The most popular models we currently use unambiguously predict that free trade is the best because those models do not incorporate certain features of the real world that would result in different predicted outcomes. Incorporating such features is either mathematically or computationally very difficult. I am therefore working on computational methods, using my software engineering background and my mathematics grounding, to try to advance the theoretical frontiers of this field. [caption id="attachment_26253" align="alignright" width="300"] With students and faculty members at the JISPA Reception[/caption] My long-term goal is to work on developing models of international trade that take into account various specific issues that countries are facing and that can be used to make better policy recommendations. I am also working on models of economic growth and trade. Ideally, I want to be able to use more realistic models to tackle real-world problems and real-world policy. I feel sorrow and pain looking back at the hardship endured by the people in Kazakhstan and my hope is that my research will be used to make a positive impact on people’s lives around the world. In terms of teaching, besides conducting seminars with PhD students, I teach two elective courses: Data Science for Practical Economic Research and International Trade Policy. The goal of the former is to give students a deeper understanding of data science methods and make the students intelligent users of those methods. I aim to teach more interesting and challenging topics than the basics, which can all be learned through self-study using freely available online resources. With the latter course, my goals are twofold: to teach the art of economic thinking so students are economically literate and able to take informed views of international trade issues, and also to teach them about economic models to prepare some students to go into advanced courses and research. Overall, I think GraSPP is a dynamic and friendly place with excellent teaching. In the economics stream, we offer high-quality courses in economics, as well as policy issues such as international relations and security. In the policymaking stream, we have professors who are not only among the best in their fields, but many are also practitioners with experience of the nitty-gritty details of policy work. Most importantly, all professors are committed to the success of the program and training the next generation of policymakers.
