Impressions of Shinohara Zemi: I have studied in Waseda from 2003-2005, under the guidance of Professor Shinohara. The most impressive things are Professor's insights, prudent attitude, and professional knowledge on the field of international relations. I am also grateful to Prof. Shinohara's patience and encouragement to help me find a topic I truly like. Though I have not finished the paper yet, I learnt a lot on the seminars of professor Shinohara, including how to work a qualified paper, how to organize the content, how to prove your opinion, and how to better structure the article, etc. I still remember very well that Prof Shinohara talked with me about my career, my future and my paper before I returned to China. I also thanks for the help from the other students on Prof's seminar for my research and my study life. Wherever I am, and whichever career I am working on, I appreciate the studying period on Prof. Shinohara's seminar.
