Educational

Main ideas, concepts, and lessons

  • Purpose of the session

    • The instructor runs an online guidance/office-hours style session to address student concerns after lessons and assignments.
    • The instructor emphasizes that the class is difficult, but finishing it should make students “stronger” (more capable).

  • Administrative / submission guidance (major themes)

    • Students submitted assignments a bit late, so the instructor reiterates essential submission conditions.
    • Common mistakes involve worksheets, especially Excel-based parts—such as forgetting to use attached “back” sheets and required fields.

  • Skills and career relevance

    • The goal isn’t just submission; students must produce a project proposal document (portfolio-quality output).
    • Many professionals can’t write a proper proposal, so doing it well as a student becomes a competitive advantage.
    • Improvement is framed as: effort over time → better output → usable portfolio/proposal.

  • How evaluation is designed

    • The attendance/reflection notebook (“attendance notebook”) is graded based on what you observed, thought, and felt, written in your own words.
    • AI-assisted writing is treated cautiously: you should not rely on AI for the thinking/reflection portion, because it’s intended to evaluate your own reasoning growth.
    • Example evaluation scale: the instructor mentions rating growth on a 1–5 scale based on how clearly growth is visible.

  • Why language ability matters for AI usage

    • Effective generative AI use requires clear language instructions (good prompting).
    • Poor prompts lead to weak/vague outputs; stronger language skills (including foreign language education) help produce better results.

  • Core framework taught (experiential value “five ladders”)

    • The lesson’s key conceptual framework is the five ladders of experiential value:
      • Sensation → Emotion → Thought → Behavior → Empathy
    • The instructor connects this to customer journey timing:
      • Examine experience across before use, during use, and after use, not only one moment.
    • Planning should track both:
      • Vertical relationships (e.g., empathy → emotion → urge to try/act)
      • Horizontal relationships over time (timeline of touchpoints)
    • For planning/promotion, the instructor emphasizes using internet/data for modern business models; hardware alone doesn’t guarantee sales.

  • Product concept method: using sheets to generate structured proposals

    • Students use attached/provided Excel worksheets to build:
      • A Custom Expression Map
      • A Product Concept Prototype sheet
      • A Product Concept sheet (to paste into PowerPoint)
    • The prototype sheet helps generate ideas and then connect them via structured lines to form the final concept.
    • Preparing these sheets first increases the chance of building a correct proposal.

  • Project proposal philosophy

    • Don’t aim only for impressive writing. Instead:
      • Build from a structured tool
      • Start with simple idea generation
      • Combine ideas into a concept
    • Real-world behavior note: leaders want deliverables quickly; delaying results in a negative impression, so students should finish decided tasks efficiently.

  • Work habits and student mindset

    • Students are advised to:
      • Choose a theme they’re interested in
      • Decide early and reduce indecision
      • Avoid “noise” that disrupts thinking
    • On motivation: passive receptiveness isn’t bad—the key is managing energy and time without self-sabotage.
    • Suggested internal workflow:
      • Do thinking work in a quiet setting (e.g., a library)
      • Prefer live sessions before deeper work
      • Start writing proposals after completing roughly 60–70% of the class content
    • Reflection on the student state: focus on managing energy/time rather than forcing emotions.

  • Presentation guidance for the later session

    • The upcoming session includes presentations.
    • Estimated presentation time: ~7 minutes (preference under 5 minutes).
    • Rationale: in companies/startups, executives may decide quickly based on early minutes.

Detailed instructions / methodology (checklist style)

A) Excel worksheet handling (file management and naming)

Before using the worksheet

  • Download/save the Excel worksheet to your computer/tablet/cloud storage before editing.
  • If you don’t save and it gets deleted, you may lose access—you’re responsible.

Excel update practice

  • You may update/overwrite, but keep version discipline.
  • After updates, assign a systematic file number/name, e.g.:
    • A12
    • Taro Noda Worksheet 01

Organized naming habit

  • Start with year/date (example: 226 and 0525) to support later searching.

Consistency requirement

  • Use the “back-attached” sheets/templates provided inside the Excel file.
  • Use the product concept/theme concept content from the attached sheet so copied materials stay aligned.

B) Attendance notebook / reflection writing requirements

  • Write in your own words what you:
    • saw
    • thought
    • felt after observing/self-reflecting
  • No coding is required.
  • AI can be wrong or imperfect—what matters is your own reasoning evidence.
  • Write enough to demonstrate logic and scale awareness.
  • Grading method:
    • The instructor can rate growth across sessions on a 1–5 scale.
  • Practical warning:
    • Treat it as a thinking exercise—avoid “just outsourcing your thinking” to AI.

C) Submission process for final Excel + PowerPoint/business proposal files

For the Excel file

  • Put the file into the required holder/container (no email needed for Excel).
  • Follow filename rules including:
    • student number
    • name
    • title/version info as instructed

For the PowerPoint / Google Slides

  • Create the proposal presentation using allowed tools (Google Slides is acceptable).
  • Upload/attach as a file (PDF or PowerPoint acceptable).
  • If upload fails or the attachment is missing, the instructor may not be able to view it—attach carefully.

Cover page/title formatting

  • Include:
    • proposal title (example: “Cafe … project proposal”)
    • student number and name

Submission exclusivity rule

  • Race entries/submissions are accepted only via the specified method (no other routes besides the email upload method described).

Email submission

  • The instructor provides a specific email address:
    • Taka2@nuture.co.jp
  • Also place the file into the required OneDrive holder.

D) Business plan / proposal format sourcing (template location)

  • The “business plan format collection” is located in:
    • My Sophia website (not Royal)
  • It is posted on the bulletin board / class information post.
  • Students should use the provided example/template:
    • Free-form writing is discouraged because it becomes too time-consuming and risks missing requirements.
    • Filling within the required structure helps ensure correctness.
  • You may write in your own style, but must satisfy all required content elements.

E) “Three sheets” students must not forget (Excel climax tasks)

The climactic/commonly forgotten part includes:

  1. Custom Expression Map sheet
  2. Product Concept Prototype sheet
  3. Product Concept sheet

For the prototype sheet, the instructor urges students to attempt/practice, because success depends on doing it properly.

F) Concept creation logic using the prototype sheet

  • The prototype sheet is structured around generating nine items:

    • persona
    • persona scene
    • basic functions
    • added functions
    • platform provision form
    • provision method
    • product science
    • customer cost
    • product level / public (wording varies in subtitles; treated as categories within the sheet)
    • experiential value (as a connected output)

  • Students:

    • Connect these items using the provided linkage/lines
    • Use the best resulting structure as the basis for the final concept sheet
    • Paste the concept content into the PowerPoint proposal

G) Timing strategy for internal planning

  • Decide the theme early; if undecided, narrow it down quickly.
  • Start writing the project proposal after you’ve completed roughly 60–70% of the class material exposure.
  • Avoid overly highbrow themes that create excessive research burden.
