メッセージ/Message
|

Being absent for more than 20% of all classes for the year is automatic grounds for failing. Arriving late to class more than 60 minutes once, 30 minutes twice, or 15 minutes 3 times is counted as one absence.

|
その他/Others

The weekly lesson plan may change depending on time and other considerations. A deduction in participation points may occur for students who do not complete class work and homework assignments and come to class prepared, which includes bringing a dictionary (electronic is ok) and textbooks to class every week.
