授業の形式?方法と履修上の注意 /Teaching method and Attention the course |
The Instructor will use the lecture method and then facilitate the students being interactive by working in pairs or groups. One third of chapter from the text will be studied each week. The first part of each class will be used for reading and analysis of the text material. This will be followed by reviewing and checking the homework assignments together. For the remainder of the class students will be given an in-class exercise to complete. Note that the teaching method, text material covered, and assessment style may change due to the demands of the ongoing health situation. Updated and more detailed information will be provided in the first class. |
