| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we developed an index of inter-course relatedness in the university curriculum, and presented a method of creation, examples of creation, and methods of utilization. The index is calculated based on data collected from a questionnaire administered by course instructors on the number of courses required to complete a given course and the degree of relevance of those courses. This allows the reference and visualization of the influence of each subject on the overall curriculum, the influence of one subject on another, and the influence of other subjects on one subject. The results can be used to develop tools to assist students in course selection and faculty in curriculum development and evaluation.

本研究で提案した科目の影響度は，ネットワーク分析における中心性指標の一種と解釈でき，とりわけ重み付き有向グラフの中心性指標である．このような指標はあまり多くなく，例えば，多く利用されているPageRankは有向グラフの中心性指標であるが，エッジの重みは考慮されない．本研究の成果は、大学教育の改善のためのツールとして有効に活用できる。
