 note = {It has been only about a decade since the full-scale First Year Seminar was implemented in Japanese colleges. The purpose of the seminar is to nurture students' autonomy in whichever field they choose for their undergraduate program. The syllabus design, however, still appears to be in the development stage. This paper first examines the origin of the concepts adopted from the United States, then looks at some programs in Japanese colleges. After illustrating a curriculum, a case study at a Japanese women's university is explored. The traditional setting of this university might have hindered progress in autonomy, but the course shows some progress was made with the introduction of computer systems and student opinion surveys. Survey results are presented in the appendix.},
